Operating model

Reliability is
a loop, not a layer.

As I've built more complex systems, I've realized that great software needs great infrastructure. DevOps bridges the gap between development and operations.

A01/04

DEFINE

Treat configuration and infrastructure as versioned intent.

B02/04

AUTOMATE

Remove fragile handoffs from build, test, and delivery.

C03/04

OBSERVE

Make system health visible through metrics, logs, and alerts.

D04/04

IMPROVE
