Chapter 4: Runbook Automation for DevOps

DevOps inspired ways of working are encouraging the delegation of operations work to those who are outside of the traditional boundaries of “Operations”. For example, allowing Developers to deploy, investigate, and fix their applications in production under a “you build it, you run it” model.

Runbook Automation helps DevOps ways of working in several ways, including:

  • Enable Developers with safe, self-service access to do the “run it” part of “you build it, you run it.”
