A few months ago I decided to write a post about the lost time associated with the hand-offs between teams. It was relevant to a conversation I wanted to have, and I wanted to order my thoughts before I went into that conversation. That post accidentally became a series of posts, which I’ve listed below.
I’m not an expert at automation and I’m far from being an expert at DevOps. Theses were just a useful exercise for me, so I thought they might be of interest to other people.
- Why Automation Matters : Lost Time
- Why Automation Matters : Reliability and Confidence
- Why Automation Matters : Patching and Upgrading
- Why Automation Matters : ITIL
- Why Automation Matters : You’re only a tweak away!
- Why Automation Sucks
- Autonomous Database : “Hand-tuning doesn’t scale”
- Why Automation Matters : Keep Your Auditors Happy
- Why Automation Matters : Continuous Improvement and Buying Time For Yourself
- Why Automation Matters : Can’t the cloud do it for you?
- Why Automation Matters : Unplanned Work and Death of Productivity!
- Why Automation Matters : Technical Debt
- Why Automation Matters : Consistent Test Environments
- Why Automation Matters : Reducing the Cost of Failure
I’m not sure if I’ll write any more, but if I do, I’ll add them to this page.
I’ve added an Automation category to the blog, which I’ve been using to categorise these posts, and other things like my posts about Docker and Vagrant.
Cheers
Tim…
