About This Book

Overview

"DevOps For Dummies" by Emily Freeman provides a comprehensive introduction to DevOps culture, practices, and tools. This book breaks down complex concepts into digestible insights for teams looking to transform their software delivery processes.

As Technical Editor, I worked to ensure technical accuracy and clarity throughout the book, helping to refine the content and verify that the DevOps practices, methodologies, and implementation strategies presented were sound and actionable for readers at all levels.

The book emphasizes the cultural and organizational aspects of DevOps transformation, focusing on the human elements that make technical implementations successful—a perspective that aligns closely with my work in incident management and operational excellence.
