Adopting DevOps for Network Operations

In this chapter, they discuss the concept of adopting the DevOps framework for network operations. They mention being inspired by a keynote by John Willis, who challenged the audience to think outside their disciplines. They also talk about the influence of W Edwards Deming, a luminary from the manufacturing world, and how his ideas tie into DevOps. They touch on the book 'The Phoenix Project' and its connection to these concepts. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the reluctance of network engineers to become programmers and the importance of bringing them into a broader framework without turning them off.
