What i find interesting about how Google/AWS/Netflix are setup is their interesting line between ops and devops. Development teams are expected to run their own services - but after a while. SREs are there to help make the transition. They are the ops experts. I think for smaller shops and startups, there is an important lesson - don't throw out ops! Your in-house ops people are Google's SREs. Most devs I work with could not run services in production without significant help. Google, etc, have great structures in place to handle this. Smaller shopps should take care.
