DevOps Paradox

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

DevOps promises to break down silos, uniting organizations to deliver high quality output in a cross-functional way. In reality it often results in confusion and new silos: pockets of DevOps practitioners fight the status quo, senior decision-makers demand DevOps paint jobs without committing to true change. Even a clear definition of what DevOps is remains elusive. In DevOps Paradox, top DevOps consultants, industry leaders, and founders reveal their own approaches to all aspects of DevOps implementation and operation. Surround yourself with expert DevOps advisors. Viktor Farcic draws on experts from across the industry to discuss how to introduce DevOps to chaotic organizations, align incentives between teams, and make use of the latest tools and techniques. With each expert offering their own opinions on what DevOps is and how to make it work, you will be able to form your own informed view of the importance and value of DevOps as we enter a new decade. If you want to see how real DevOps experts address the challenges and resolve the paradoxes, this book is for you.

Kubernetes – the solution to all of our problems?

Viktor Farcic: My understanding is that you mostly work with Kubernetes, which means you're into the latest and greatest. Is that a concern for you?

Ádám Sándor: We've never had experience with this technology failing, so in that sense, it's not an issue in that it's the latest and greatest. We never advise customers to jump into something, even though we are surfing on the edge of new technology and watching out for everything that's coming our way. Usually, we recommend technologies that have already proven themselves for at least a year and that we know will work for the customer.

Viktor Farcic: Does that mean everybody should move to Kubernetes? What does it involve? I imagine it's not only creating new Docker images and YAML files. Let's say that I'm a company that has existed for a long time and I have everything, how does it look for me?
