More than ever, the effective management of technology is critical for business competitiveness. For decades, technology leaders have struggled to balance agility, reliability, and security. The consequences of failure have never been greater―whether it's the healthcare.gov debacle, cardholder data breaches, or missing the boat with Big Data in the cloud.
And yet, high performers using DevOps principles, such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Etsy, and Netflix, are routinely and reliably deploying code into production hundreds, or even thousands, of times per day.
Following in the footsteps of The Phoenix Project, The DevOps Handbook shows leaders how to replicate these incredible outcomes, by showing how to integrate Product Management, Development, QA, IT Operations, and Information Security to elevate your company and win in the marketplace.

The Three Ways Revisited | The DevOps Handbook
Wondering if The DevOps Handbook is for you? This book was created for anyone who wants to make serious changes through the DevOps methodology to increase productivity, profitability, and win in the marketplace. It is an all-inclusive guide for planning and executing DevOps transformations while providing background on the history of DevOps and dozens of case studies to support DevOps principles. It also provides best practices to help organizations unite disparate teams, achieve common goals, and obtain support from the highest levels of leadership.
The DevOps Handbook digs into the three foundational principles underpinning DevOps known as The Three Ways: Flow, Feedback, and Continual Learning and Experimentation. As the book works through the Three Ways, readers will be able to identify how high-performing companies leveraged these principles to win in the marketplace so your organization can replicate their success and execute your own successful DevOps transformations.
The Three Ways of DevOps
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
The First Way of DevOps emphasizes the performance of the entire system, not a specific silo or department. The focus is placed on all business value streams that are enabled by IT. It begins when requirements are identified (the business or IT), are built (Development), and then transitioned into production (Operations). |
The Second Way of DevOps creates right-to-left feedback loops. The goal is to shorten and amplify feedback loops so that necessary corrections can be continually made. The Second Way facilitates understanding and responding to all customers, internal and external, and embedding knowledge where it is needed. |
The Third Way of DevOps encourages the creations of a culture that fosters continual experimentation (taking risks and learning from failure) and understanding that repetition and practice is the prerequisite to mastery. Practicing the Third Way of DevOps allocates time for the improvement of daily work, creates rituals that reward the team for taking risks, and introduces faults into the system to increase resilience. |

Interesting book !!!
Interestingly, I’ve worked mainly in research environments where I’ve been in charge of both Development and Operations at the same time. I worked in a corporation with separate Dev and Ops for a few years – and I worked on the Ops side then.
I agree wholeheartedly with the insights this book shares. I like rapid, swift, and small deployments over heavy and charged deployments. That allows life to be better on the developers and the operations folk. I prefer to be able to roll-back a small change (that happens several times a day) instead of potentially disabling a system with a large change. That’s how I maintain my code personally, so I have no problem with asking an organization to do the same.
I’m continuing to read about the movement towards a combined DevOps role. Apparently, this group puts out annual reports and has been pushing this out since 2014. It is viewed as a successor to Agile Management of projects. I appreciate their voice and their contribution for the management of computer programmers.
