2. Use of the Site

DevOps Start publishes educational content about DevOps, cloud, and infrastructure engineering. You may read, link to, and share our articles freely. You may not scrape the site at abusive rates, attempt to disrupt its availability, or misrepresent our content as your own.

3. Technical Content Disclaimer

Our articles contain commands, configuration, and code intended for educational purposes. Always review and test instructions in a safe environment before applying them to production systems. We are not responsible for outages, data loss, or costs resulting from applying anything published on this site.

5. DevOps Start Reddit App

We operate an official app on Reddit's developer platform (Devvit) that shares our articles in our own community, r/DevOpsStartCom. The app:

• Reads only our own public article feed (devopsstart.com/rss.xml).
• Submits link posts to communities where it has been installed by their moderators.
• Does not collect, store, or process any personal data of Reddit users.
• Does not interact with user content (no comments on user posts, no votes, no messages).

Use of Reddit itself is governed by Reddit's own User Agreement.
