This book is justifiably famous and should be on the reading list of anyone working in software, particularly in any kind of leadership role. You'll need this knowledge behind you if you want to convince the wider business that there's a better way to tackle to process of developing, testing and deploying software. Also, your engineers may need convincing of the merits of the approaches laid out here, and in my view the book does this in the best way possible for winning those arguments: empirically. This isn't just what the authors reckon; the recommendations are backed up with evidence and like any rigorous technical writing, they cite their sources.

The performance is good, but the voice artist could have done with some more support, perhaps from an editor or producer, to make sure the industry terms are pronounced correctly (bearing in mind that we nerds do mangle the English language sometimes). I'm not sure of the merits of reading out un-shortened URIs in full either, especially given that there's an accompanying PDF. But these are niggles, and don't detract from the valuable information being put across.

A must for anyone working in software!

Since all companies are now technology companies, this book is becoming applicable to more and more of us. Particularly useful for engineering team members and for those who lead/ manage/ decide budget for engineering etc.

An absolute must read for anyone in technology

This is the BIBLE of Agile DevOps... period
This book is rich mainly because it goes beyond DevOps into preDevOps era practices to the various convergence of the umbrella of Agile, Scrum, Lean etc methodologies that paved the way for DevOps. Well written and narrated.

Suitable for Development, DBA, IT Ops engineers, product managers and CTOs.

Gene Kim , Jez Humble , Patrick Debois , John Willis and Nicole Forsgren make a brilliant writing team and have successfully updated and managed to 'improve' upon the original 2018 version of the DevOps Handbook to include important recent developments such as Covid and the resulting remote-working paradigm. Ron Butler does a great job reading and makes 'easy listening' of some relatively complex subjects. Highly recommend if you work in the tech sector.

A worthy update on the original

It gave a great insight into modern management of software companies and projects. Gives you pretty concrete ways of improving flow.

Great read!

For those looking for a book on 'DevSecOps' that might be hesitating to pick this one up, thinking it's out of date, fear not. Part 6 of the book (the final part) goes into detail how you can 'shift left' and include security into all stages of the development lifecycle, starting with requirements, having it be part of the build pipeline and so forth. The word 'DevSecOps' is maybe only mentioned twice, and alternative descriptors like vulnerability scanning might be used instead of 'passive-DAST' but it still does a solid job of detailing AppSec activities, Software-Composition-Analysis (SCA), automating security work and related compliance. They do reference material/study cases that's newer than the original book release indicating this part was updated with the second edition (November 2021).
