Enterprising the Internet has been a process over the past years and while this book does not set judgement, it does call for a moment of pause and reflection on the impact of these technologies to individuals. There are constant key themes throughout this book such as the notion of identity and identity sets, e-sovereignty and privacy, but most importantly, the function of an Internet that is inclusive and not “controlled” by a few organizations for their own profitability. This is The Humanized Internet. These tenets may sound libertarian, but in fact we are talking about the core principles that guide the development and perhaps the return of the Internet to the people, especially those who are underserved. “Do no evil” should not just be a company motto, but the driving principle behind the development of any technologies that do impact us as individual consumers of these technologies and corresponding products. Indeed, there is a polarity between and Internet that is used for mass empowerment and one that can be used for mass destruction. Privacy, security, and the management of your digital footprint should be done by you.With the progression of human and machine interaction due to advances in biotech and the brain/computer interface, the cloud, and virtual/mixed reality, we need to understand the impacts of these technologies to identity overall. Do we require a new definition of identity? What is e-sovereignty and its application moving forward if we posit that the institutions that exist today may no longer be relevant in their current structure? We have all read about the abuses that occur when your data falls into the hands of other entities, intentionally or not. The Humanized Internet is therefore a call to action…your action.

Transitioning to DevOps requires a change in culture and mindset. At its simplest, DevOps is about removing the barriers between two traditionally siloed teams, development, and operations. In some organizations, there may not even be separate development and operations teams; engineers may do both. With DevOps, the two teams work together to optimize both the productivity of developers and the reliability of operations. They strive to communicate frequently, increase efficiencies, and improve the quality of services they provide to customers. They take full ownership for their services, often beyond where their stated roles or titles have traditionally been scoped by thinking about the end customer’s needs and how they can contribute to meeting those needs. Quality assurance and security teams may also become tightly integrated within these teams. Organizations using a DevOps model, regardless of their organizational structure, have teams that view the entire development and infrastructure lifecycle as part of their responsibilities.In this book, we introduce the DevOps culture, and the tools and techniques under this technical cultural umbrella. We explain microservice, containers, Docker Container, Kubernetes, etc., and the significance of these in adopting the DevOps culture for successful software development.

It is well-established that every organization is founded with a specific purpose and goals. Virtually all business organizations obtain measurements and metrics dealing with outcomes and results. However, what is reflected on the balance sheet does not necessarily show the actual worth of the organizations and ensure their survival and sustainability. Thus, the question arises, what exactly makes the organizations sustainable and thriving in an ever-changing environment? There are several examples of companies like Faber-Castell, Bank of Ireland, Chivas, DuPont and many more which have been able to sustain and survive over more than 200 years and still have a successful existence in the present era. Thus, it is important for the organization to pay equal attention to its three bottom lines, i.e., people, profit and planet for its sustainability, which not only meet the needs of the present generation but should have a futuristic approach as well.In the present era, organizations are adopting a new normal working dynamic and coping with the post-pandemic situations to sustain themselves in the business environment. Technology plays a significant role in this new working dynamic, and cutting-edge technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence, blockchain,ChatGPT, Internet of Things, and much more effectively facilitate human functioning at work.
