Four of the biggest names in the DevOps industry have combined forces to create the first ever DevOps Handbook.
A major theme throughout the book is the DevOps community. The authors include references, excerpts, and quotes from analysts, podcasts, surveys, and just about every other medium the DevOps community is involved in. The most impressive element is the fluid integration of case studies throughout each chapter, as if the authors are trying to say "don't take it from me, check out this real-world example."Join us for a live discussion with Gene Kim on Thursday, October 27th.

The DevOps Handbook is a breath of fresh air and a practical guide for developers, operations and IT pros, at the same time DevOps is evolving and changing by the day. New technologies such as Containers or Microservices will influence new practices and industry-specific DevOps problems (e.g., security in the Financial Services sector) will bubble up more urgently in the future.
Overall The DevOps Handbook is a home run for any developer/manager who's ready to look at software deployments in a new light. Its high-level overview, community inclusion, and readability will help create a new standard for software deployment as DevOps begins its transition from early adopters to early majority. For these reasons and more, The DevOps Handbook is a must-read for anyone in the software industry.
