As DevOps continues to challenge the status quo and improve business outcomes for software systems, many of the world's larger enterprises are beginning to consider how they might scale these practices across large, complex systems composed of hardware, firmware, and software. The ability to iterate and deploy faster allows companies to adapt to changing needs, reduce cycle time for delivery, increase value for money, improve transparency, and leverage innovations. This book, written by two researchers who helped coin the idea, will show organizations how to apply the theories and practices of DevOps to complex cyber-physical systems. The book will also feature a number of case studies of organizations that are successfully applying these theories today.
