DevOps: Culture & Foundations

DevOps is less a toolset than a way of working — shipping software faster and more reliably by breaking down the wall between development and operations. Start here to learn the mindset, then branch into the tools. All resources free and current.

Before the tools — Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes — comes the why. DevOps is a culture of automation, fast feedback, and shared ownership between the people who build software and the people who run it. Google formalized the reliability side of this into Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). Learn the principles below, then use the rest of this track to go deep on each practice.
