<h3>Alan&#8217;s recommended path to get up-to-speed on the STELLA Report:</h3>

<ol>
<li><p>The best introduction from a DevOps perspective to the concepts covered in the Stella Report is John Allspaw&#8217;s talk on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA5U85LSk0M">Resilience Engineering as DevOps</a> from the 2017 DevOps Enterprise Summit</p></li>
<li><p>Second read the <a href="http://stella.report">Stella Report</a> from the Workshop on Coping With Complexity.</p></li>
<li><p>Finally check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jRqtciRQds">DevOpsDays Detroit 2017: Day 1 Keynote</a> by Dr. Richard I. Cook.</p></li>
