This is the most comprehensive and practical DevOps guide out

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2021

This is the best book I’ve read on DevOps and it follows on nicely from Gene Kim’s other book The Phoenix Project.

It’s quite easy to think that DevOps practices are just something that dev teams deal with and the value is simply just an increase in throughput, but the book provides clarity on the colossal value that adopting a DevOps culture and the principles can have on teams, the business, and customers.

Throughout the book, Gene echoes the importance of having the whole product team (product manager, designer and several engineers)) involved in the transformation, as well as focusing on outcomes, and to achieve outcomes you need to collect data and learn through experimentation which is covered in the book too.

Gene gives good advice that it’s important to avoid funding projects and instead you should fund services and products: “A way to enable high-performing outcomes is to create stable service teams with ongoing funding to execute their own strategy and road map of initiatives”.

This is the most comprehensive and practical DevOps guide out there and the layout makes the content easy to digest. The book covers:

– History leading up to DevOps, and Lean thinking
– Agile, and continuous delivery
– Value streams
– How to design your organisation and architecture
– Integrating security, change management, and compliance

The principles and tech practices of:
1. Flow
2. Feedback
3. Continual Learning and Experimentation

“Our goal is to enable market-oriented outcomes where many small teams can quickly and independently deliver value to the customer”

This book, make no mistake, is not the successor to the phoenix project. It's a much dryer review of everything good in DevOps today.

If you're looking at this book 3 years after it has been out I would tell you to save your money and find something more recent. But for now, until the technologies and principals it mentions are considered outdated it is likely the best review of modern DevOps practices.

Buy it, read it and improve upon it

The best, most digestible and useful work-related book I ever read.

I read this book after it was recommended during a LinkedIn hosted training course (DevOps Fundamentals). Unsurprisingly, it's tightly aligned with the advice in that course, but the book is exceptional in being easy going and a "light" read despite the serious topic. It uses cases studies with an usual degree of honest insight (many of the case studies being major companies including FaceBook, LinkedIn, Etsy, NetFlix.

A great read for anyone wanting to "catch up" on modern DevOps (even from scratch). I'm off to buy it's accompanying novel, The Phoenix Project...

This is Jezzas follow up from the Phoenix Project and for me it was fairly dry in terms of story but thats because its a handbook rather than a novel so it was half expected. The book is great to get a understanding of moderm DevOps practices.

I work in a value-stream today and we discuss and have a lot of thoughts on dev-ops. The authors show a lot of insight into the different matters and are good at getting the message across to the reader.
