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.

Closing thoughts

Bret Fisher: The last thing I'll say is that it's both hard, and rare. A tool has to be extremely awesome in order to be a net add, on top of everything you're already currently doing Docker did that. Docker was beneficial enough by itself that you could still use your Ansibles and your Puppets. You were also able to still have your VMware, all of your apt-get and other package install tools such as your npms, and your composer. What you had was this extra tool in the stack and people used it. It's not going to happen very often, so whatever's next probably won't be able to do that. But again, I don't know, and it might just be because I'm skeptical.

Viktor Farcic: Great! I know we're out of time now, so I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to talk to me today. I really enjoyed talking to you, and I hope to talk to you soon.

Bret Fisher: No problem! It's been great talking to you too, Viktor.
