Fundamentals of DevOps & Software Delivery • Yevgeniy "Jim" Brikman & Kief Morris
Yevgeniy "Jim" Brikman, author of "Fundamentals of DevOps and Software Delivery," and Kief Morris, author of "Infrastructure as Code," discuss the practicalities of modern software delivery. Jim recounts his career-defining experience at LinkedIn, where a deployment crisis led to a company-wide focus on fixing delivery pipelines. The conversation explores the pragmatic definition of DevOps, the interplay between Infrastructure as Code and application orchestration tools like Kubernetes, the necessity of frameworks like Terragrunt over custom wrapper scripts, and a look at emerging paradigms like Infrastructure from Code, Infrastructure as a Graph, and Interactive Runbooks.
