2013 is the year of NoOps for the Cloud (infographic)

Coming from a background of having to deal with the highest level of PCI-DSS scrutiny, this makes total sense. It would have been soooooo much easier to just point the auditors to the managed hosting service and say, "ask them, they're the experts." Leaving myself and the other devs to just worry about software security.

Any sysadmins care to chime in with their view on this? Jobwise are you planning to switch to development in the near future ?

I have clarified a lot of the great questions that have come out of the infographic we created here: <a href="http://blog.appfog.com/what-is-noops-anyhow/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.appfog.com/what-is-noops-anyhow/</a>

So basically, you've re-branded PaaS as NoOps. I'm all for it.

NoOps means "No Operations" in the same way that NoSQL means "No SQL". As in, it doesn't.
