DevOps in Practices document provides an overview of DevOps practices and microservice architecture. It discusses that DevOps aims to reduce the time between introducing changes to a system and deploying those changes in a production environment. Microservices architecture breaks applications into smaller, independent services that are built around business capabilities. Netflix is highlighted as an example that pioneered this approach at a large scale using AWS. Key aspects of DevOps like continuous integration, infrastructure as code, and automated testing are explained in the context of enabling faster delivery with microservices.
