Recommended DevOps Books

Richard Lewis

As a seasoned DevOps professional, I’m often asked to recommend resources for newcomers to understand the core principles and best practices of this field. Over the years, I’ve read many excellent books on DevOps, but these five stand out as essential reads for anyone looking to gain a solid, comprehensive understanding of DevOps.

Accelerate

The first I recommend is Accelerate by Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim. This is a must-read for anyone interested in software development and delivery. The book is based on extensive research about what drives high-performing teams and how to optimize software delivery practices. It offers practical advice and real-world examples to help organizations improve capabilities such as continuous delivery, monitoring, and experimentation. The authors provide a valuable roadmap for building a culture of continuous improvement.
