Re: Old Skool thinking
" If there is an issue, the devops team will swarm it and roll-out fix with Jenkins."
It is likely that any problem will need fixes in supplier's subsystems. Devops is all very well - if you have full vertical integration of hardware and software that was designed in-house. Those days are long gone. The weakest link in the chain will be the speed/ability with which your suppliers (and their suppliers ...ad nauseam) can diagnose a system interaction and fix their hardware/software components. Circumvention may be impossible.
