内容简介
······

Bill is an IT manager at Parts Unlimited. It's Tuesday morning and on his drive into the office, Bill gets a call from the CEO.

The company's new IT initiative, code named Phoenix Project, is critical to the future of Parts Unlimited, but the project is massively over budget and very late. The CEO wants Bill to report directly to him and fix the mess in ninety days or else Bill's entire department will be outsourced.

With the help of a prospective board member and his mysterious philosophy of The Three Ways, Bill starts to see that IT work has more in common with manufacturing plant work than he ever imagined. With the clock ticking, Bill must organize work flow streamline interdepartmental communications, and effectively serve the other business functions at Parts Unlimited.

In a fast-paced and entertaining style, three luminaries of the DevOps movement deliver a story that anyone who works in IT will recognize. Readers will not only learn how to improve their own IT organizations, they'll never view IT the same way again.

陆陆续续当小说读完(其实就是小说),比较有意思的是能看到大型外企中高层的政治斗争,然后全书描述了主人公如何用神一样的精益方法挽救了死亡边缘的 Phoenix 项目,然而实际场景中未必会有这么神奇的功效,我体会更为深刻的反而是几位主人公的敬业精神,为了项目、为了公司,真可谓殚精竭虑,值得学习和敬佩。最后,书最后说了IT是业务的核心竞争力,事实也的确如此,越来越多的公司离不开IT,所以我们码农不必担心…

重读感觉真的是上个世纪了

不可思议这书只有8分。即使之前在亚麻的时候已经把书中所有的的自动化的实践都经历过了,还是觉得这书里面的有很多令人思考的学习的地方。其实这本书不止是在讲DevOps,正如Stripe的做Infra的总监前两天在一个podcast上说的,这书给他最大的感悟是,从business的角度来讲,你做任何事情首先考虑business上的outcome,确保project deliverable才是最关键的。很…

像我一样不知道啥事DevOps的可以读读,故事讲得不错。能告诉你目前这些正确的程序都是为什么产生的。
