Build an end-to-end software-optimized system that meets the needs of Microsoft’s cloud business. By steadily eliminating toil and employing a product engineering mindset, we’ll engineer for scale and innovate to build the next generation of services that are continuously optimized to the needs of the business. We will engineer (vs. automate) end-to-end software solutions, building systems (vs. tools) by employing a product engineering mindset over simply automating or enabling human tasks We will iteratively and rigorously evolve from the existing processes and systems, and will promote a culture where status quo can be challenged We will quantify toil in all our software and operations functions and iteratively eliminate it We will treat every exception or an override as a defect and aspire to build systems that continuously improve by addressing them Everyone in the organization will be relentlessly hands-on and learn by doing
