Pragmatic DevOps
It’s easy to feel like DevOps is too hard to implement because the theory is hard to apply in their company.
Rather than give up, it’s important to be pragmatic and try to solve the problems. To do this effectively, you need the theory.
With books like The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn Project, you can learn what DevOps is trying to do, and why, then apply it pragmatically.
