Over the past few years, Continuous Delivery (CD) and DevOps have been in the spotlight in tech media, at conferences, and in boardrooms alike. Many articles and books have been written covering the technical aspects of CD and DevOps, yet the vast majority of the industry doesn’t fully understand what they actually are and how, if adopted correctly they can help organizations drastically change the way they deliver value. This book will help you figure out how CD and DevOps can help you to optimize, streamline, and improve the way you work to consistently deliver quality software. In this edition, you’ll be introduced to modern tools, techniques, and examples to help you understand what the adoption of CD and DevOps entails. It provides clear and concise insights in to what CD and DevOps are all about, how to go about both preparing for and adopting them, and what quantifiable value they bring. You will be guided through the various stages of adoption, the impact they will have on your business and those working within it, how to overcome common problems, and what to do once CD and DevOps have become truly embedded.

Summary

This book, like all good things, has come to an end. As pointed out numerous times, we've covered quite a lot in these pages. This book is by no means the definitive opus for adopting CD and DevOps; it is a collection of suggestions laid out in a logical order based on real-world experience and war stories. I recommend you put some effort into fleshing out your knowledge with other reading materials and books, or even attending a conference or two.

Even if you are simply window-shopping and looking at what is needed to implement and adopt CD and DevOps ways of working, you should now have a clearer idea of what you are getting yourself and your organization into. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say. It's not an easy journey, but it is worth it.

So, go grab yourself a hot beverage, a notepad, and a pen; skip back to Chapter 2, Understanding Your Current Pain...
