How DevOps Should be Done

Full of information and case studies on best practices in running DevOps from start to cubist.
Great book.

How to transform from top down to a more agile state!

The DevOps handbook is an excellent way to create a roadmap to improve your businesses, systems, and processes for the future 

A bit long, but great info

Some, or more accurately too much, of this book is spent on background and basics, but that isn’t a terrible thing. This classic provides a great overview of DevOPS and many case studies. The book is a must if you don’t already have a modern DevOPS pipeline and processes.

All technology people must read

Well organized, critical topics, many resource references, some really good concepts and ideas. Will need to buy the book for my physical library now

A must read for the new tech generation

The content tends to be extremely dry, but the learnings within are invaluable to building or revamping a technology driven business.

Excellent ”Listen”

Great second edition with tons of reference-able material. Would appreciate broader coverage of service restoration in the next edition.

Comprehensive

It’s very comprehensive and easy to understand , which is helpful for me to apply the practices in my organization

Essential read for people in DevOps realm

Covers core and fringe DevOps/sw dev topics with a tone and depth that's educational, easy to digest and enjoyable.

Good but dense

It's a good overview of many best practices and approaches to software development.
I think they could have been more brave and criticized some bad practices more, to create some contrast, but it's already a long book.
No major complaints as I agree with most of the points, Although, I think you'd need some of the special internal Google tools to use a large mono-repo in practice. Or every developer would have to be very comfortable with rebasing and resolving conflicts with git.
The narrator mispronounced a few things a bit robotically, e.g. "configuration as cod" (code) and "GetOps" (GitOps) which was a bit strange...

Love this Narrated version

I will listen again. So full of examples and the narration brings the words to life
