The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and… by Gene Kim
This was a real slog. The book leans heavily on stereotypes and cliches, and talks a lot about (awful) people's (awful) feelings, and needed a lot more editing. There are interesting ideas in there, but I think I would've been better off just reading the appendices (or maybe the DevOps Handbook, which is up next).
Could relate every page of the book as I was once a configuration and release manager.
This is a superb fictional book about a recently promoted VP of IT Operations, the challenges he encounters in the dysfunctional organisation he is in and how he turns IT around to be efficient and flexible. There are lots of great pearls of wisdom throughout with lots of manufacturing analogies. An easy read.
A sequel to the The Phoenix Project, focusing specifically on DevOps transformation (integrating IT management, software development, and IT operations). You'll learn:
• The challenges faced in traditional IT setups, and how DevOps can help to overcome those challenges to significantly improve the quality, reliability, security, speed and efficiency of IT solutions for both internal and external customers.
• The history, concepts and theories behind DevOps, as well as the 3 core DevOps principles (the “Three Ways”): Principles of Flow, Principles of Feedback, and Principles of Continual Learning and Experimentation.
• The step-by-step process to create your DevOps transformation, including: how to apply the 3 sets of DevOps principles and technical practices in your organization, and integrate QA and InfoSec into each step of your technology value stream.
