DevOps - A Business Perspective

by Oleg Skrynnik

This book explains the management aspects of DevOps for those who are professionally engaged in information and technology management. It does not show DevOps as a phenomenon associated with new automation tools, programming techniques or technologies; It differs from other books by the structural nature of the narrative (perhaps, excessively structured) approach and by the attempt to cover fully the phenomenon of DevOps at a basic, fundamental level.By this approach, this book not only creates awareness of the new subject area but is also helps building the basics. The reader learns about the origins of DevOps, the inevitability of its emergence, the key prerequisites and their reflection in practices, about the practices themselves and the principles on which they are based. This book is the core literature of the EXIN DevOps Foundation certification. This exam tests the understanding of basic DevOps concepts and how they relate to each other, as well as the value of DevOps for the business. EXIN DevOps Foundation is the first level of the EXIN DevOps certification program. The EXIN DevOps Professional certification tests the knowledge of DevOps practices and how to integrate teams. The EXIN DevOps Master certification is about promoting organizational change and leading the way towards continuous delivery and improvement.

"Well, it is not a bad book, everything looks clear, but I knew it all before."
I would have said that, but author managed to achieve his goal - to create a structured, logical, convincing, and as far as possible impartial presentation of a rather difficult subject - and did it brilliant, that helped me to see DevOps from another perspective.

Good book describing the fundamentals (not: basics) of DevOps from a business perspective. No tech talk, but a clear overview of the why and how of DevOps. Includes links to more traditional approaches and does away with the myth that DevOps and ITSM could not co-exist.
Smewhat long in the introductory chapters and not extremely practical, but quite what I needed to know for now.
