The Journey to DevOps: What I Learned
summary
Claims that 9 of 10 companies stall revenue and only one recovers, and that transformation must start with business value not grand rewrites. Uses Cloud Foundry, Pivotal tooling and immersive Cognizant labs, trains people with PAL, and offers insight to code to convert legacy apps to cloud‑native. Recommends four immediate moves—ruthless prioritization, accountability, stop duplicating work, and automation—plus ethnographic sense-making anthropology paired with DevOps engineering. Starts small, measure, iterate, and shows customer-facing results.
