DevOps: Frameworks, Techniques, and Tools

DevOps is about more than automating a build or choosing a deployment tool. In DevOps: Frameworks, Techniques, and Tools, Sujeevan Vijayakumaran follows the work of a software project from early planning through production operations, showing how team practices and technical choices connect across the lifecycle.

A fictional company gives the discussion a practical thread: its teams encounter familiar obstacles, then consider how DevOps principles can help them work through them. The result is a broad, grounded look at DevOps for readers who want to understand both the culture and the tools.

See DevOps across the project lifecycle

The book introduces DevOps, the CALMS model, and common misconceptions before moving through project planning, source-code collaboration, continuous integration, quality assurance, delivery, deployment, and service operations. Following these stages together helps put individual practices in context: decisions made during development affect how software is tested, released, and supported.

Connect collaboration with dependable delivery

Topics include Git workflows, code reviews, pair programming, inner sourcing, build pipelines, testing, and continuous delivery. The discussion also considers release strategies such as rollbacks, canaries, and feature flags. These sections offer readers a way to think about how teams can coordinate changes and build feedback into the path from code to production.

Explore the tools behind modern operations

Coverage extends to containers, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, configuration management, monitoring, ChatOps, blameless post-mortems, and reliability practices. Tools and techniques appear within the wider question of how development and operations can share responsibility for a service.

For readers working across technical teams

Developers, operations and quality-assurance professionals, technical leads, and project teams may find this lifecycle-wide perspective useful. Rather than reducing DevOps to a checklist of products, Vijayakumaran’s book examines how frameworks, working methods, and tools fit together in real software projects.
