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.

Viktor Farcic: Hi, Wian! Before we delve into our conversation about DevOps, could you tell us a little about yourself?

Wian Vos: I'm currently a solutions architect at Red Hat, one of the biggest open source companies in the world, based in Amsterdam. I've been doing DevOps since before it was called DevOps, and have been involved in infrastructure automation since 2005, and the containerization push since 2013. Over the course of my career, I've worked at ING Bank, Rabobank, and several other smaller government bureaus here in the Netherlands. More recently, I was a managing consultant for DevOps at CINQ ICT in Zaandam, and before that, I worked in Boston for two years at XebiaLabs.
