DevOps Done Wrong

The following articles detail the many ways I have seen that my clients past and present succeeded in doing injustice to a very useful collaboration model.

• Big Data Frameworks On using frameworks that “facilitate big data management”, and incentives.
• Environment Multiplication On using audience-driven environments and makework.
• Missing Code Reviews On creating common knowledge through code reviews.
• Continuing Silos On how DevOps continues corporate siloing.
• Hybrid Games On Hybrid Clouds, processes, and bringing the wrong mindset.
• Agile Waterfalls On Agile Waterfalls and the Worst of both Worlds
• Fragile Processes On Fragile Processes, both bottom-up and top-down, and how to find the middle ground.
• Systems Ownership On the mismatch between responsibility for, and ultimately the ability to control something.

The articles have been compiled into an ebook and can be found as EPUB and PDF
