SE-Radio Episode 247: Andrew Phillips on DevOps

Sven Johann talks with Andrew Phillips about DevOps. First, they
try to define it. Then, they discuss its roots in agile
operations, its relationship to lean development and continuous
delivery, its goals, and how to get started. They proceed to
system thinking and what “You build it, you run it” means for a
system when developers have pager duty.


They continue with the diversity of DevOps requirements among
companies and industries; copying ideas versus finding your own
way; culture, mindset, and recommended practices; and the
mandatory tool chain. They wrap up by discussing architectural
styles that support DevOps and DevOps costs versus benefits.
