Volume 5

Chapter 05

How Production Support Actually Works

The ITIL-aligned procedures engineers follow every day — incident classification and priority, major incident management and war rooms, problem management and the KEDB, change management and the CAB, release control, rollback, disaster recovery, and the runbook library behind it all.

Volume 6

Chapter 06

Engineering Reliability, Not Just Operating It

The engineering discipline that separates a strategic reliability partner from a traditional support desk — SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets, toil reduction and the automation maturity model, capacity planning, chaos engineering, and continuous reliability improvement.

Volume 7

Chapter 07

The Implementation Guide

The technical build standard engineers follow end to end — account governance and tagging, agent deployment, per-language instrumentation, OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes and database monitoring, dashboards and alerting, access governance, and the phased production rollout.

Volume 8

Chapter 08

What To Do At 2 AM

Volume 10

Chapter 010

The Customer Journey, End to End

The lifecycle framework from contract signature to long-term partnership — transition governance, onboarding and stakeholder management, knowledge transfer, operational readiness and go-live, hypercare, customer success, and orderly service exit.

Volume 12

Chapter 012

Building Software as a Product, Not a Project

The complete software delivery operating model — SDLC and repository governance, CI/CD and progressive delivery, testing and quality gates, secure software supply chain, container and Kubernetes security, platform engineering, AI-assisted development, LLMOps, and engineering metrics.

Volume 13

Chapter 013

The complete library

Fifteen volumes, one reference library.

From managed services foundations through reliability, cloud and platform engineering, DevSecOps, AI operations, enterprise architecture, and consulting delivery — the playbook now spans the full lifecycle of an enterprise technology engagement.
