Author Biography Dave Harrison is Senior Consultant at Microsoft Premier, specializing in DevOps and Agile. As a development lead and project manager, he has spearheaded cultural revolutions in several large retail and insurance organizations and made the leap to agile development and continuous delivery.

When not behind the keyboard, he spends his time traveling, fly-fishing, and searching New York, USA for the perfect bowl of pho. Table of Contents 1. The Abyss Stares Back.- 2.
