Mission: Facilitate
Campus’ Cornell's transition to the cloud while encouraging modern
devops DevOps practices.
Guiding Principles
Sharers - We don’t keep information to ourselves. We always think about how a system, process, etc. needs to be run without us involved.
Systems Thinkers - We think about how the entire system is created, not just the infrastructure, not just the application code, not just the configuration, not just the database. Everything. We look at optimizing the whole system, not just sub-optimizing a part of the system.Automation - We constantly seek ways to automate repetitive activities. We also realize that automation can lead to more than just tactical improvements. When applying systems thinking to problems, we seek to create automation systems for the entire software systems lifecycle versus a series of scripts and tactical improvementsCollaborative and Encouraging - The goal is to create a peer network of high performance collaborative system teams that inter-work and cause the environments to ever improve, while creating positive, fun work interactions that foster excellence. Humble - Realize there is more than one way to do something. You can be right without being a jerk about it or “You can disagree without being disagreeable”
