Have you read the Phoenix Project? I thought that was an interesting view on switching to CI/CD in a company where there are lots of integrated complex systems. If you are new to CI/CD well worth a read.

I've just finished reading it.
Absolutely insightful. The story part was like "oh yes, me too".

What' I've found most worth was the "The Three Ways" part. Which I think is the sugar of the book and ready to be applied in a practical context.

Do you mean the Phoenix replacement pattern?
It is the evolution of Blue/Green deployment. I think it's very interesting although the data migration and zero-downtime on data topic is still not very well covered and is the big blocker for such patterns.

This one:

I have read the Unicorn project (which is the 2nd book) but I really didn't rate the second one. It was not as interesting and re-hashed the same material. First one is a decent read though.
