Building a DevOps Culture

O'Reilly Media, 2013

Building a DevOps culture requires more than installing a configuration management system, using a source code repository, and telling your teams "Ok, now we are all doing DevOps."

A real delay in the paradigm shift that HTML5 is almost certain to bring. It’s ...
