A growing number of our customers are curious about the emergence of “platform operations,” which describes teams that build, manage and optimize application infrastructure. Some are wondering how platform ops is different from DevOps, site reliability engineering (SRE), security ops and network ops.

Before we describe what platform ops teams do, we need to pause and nail down the meaning of “platform.”

So I thought that a great way to convey what platform ops is and does is to run through such a job description and break it down.

Just because the platform ops team is strongly aligned with developer needs doesn’t mean that it can compromise on compliance and standards.
