Ask HN: Book Recommendation for DevOps?
- afarrell 7y agoThe Phoenix Project is good for an explanation of the business reasons why certain ways-of-working are important.
- RocketSyntax 7y agoHaving read this, I would not recommend it to someone that actually wants to learn the tools.
- tkjef 7y agono, definitely not. but it's an enjoyable fictional read that has lots of devops concepts but isn't a flat out tech book. i found that to be a nice change of pace from the non-stop barrage of tech articles, tutorials, and straight to the point o'reilly books i'm typically reading. it also highlights real world examples that i could definitely relate to and thought that i was alone in going through. clearly i'm not alone on it if there's this book written with people going through similar frustrating experiences.
- afarrell 7y agoYea, the only way it would help you learn the tools is by helping you articulate why the tools serve a business need--thereby making it easier to allocate time/money for the tools.
- gchamonlive 7y agoa question first do you mean DevOps as in agile or DevOps as a proxy for SRE (or cloud infrastructure engineering in general)?
- amrrs 7y agoIt's DevOps in Cloud Infra. Thx!
- acolytic 7y agoI thought Google's SRE book (https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/toc/index.html https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/toc/index.html) was incredible. Probably a good place to start.
- jordiburgos 7y agoI am not a DevOps myself. I started reading Google's SRE and it made me feel that it was all about Google's tools and not about general DevOps knowledge.
- sp527 7y agoIt's far from "all about Google's tools"; that's a gross mischaracterization of that body of work.
- gashaw 7y agoRelease it! by Michael Nygard has lots of good info on design issues related to production systems and operations/devops of such systems.
