   Two others listed here: https://sre.google/books/, "Building Secure & Reliable Systems" and "The Site Reliability Workbook".

   I would also mention "The Datacenter as a Computer: designing warehouse-scale machines". https://research.google/pubs/the-datacenter-as-a-computer-de...

   Definitely start with https://www.amazon.com/Site-Reliability-Workbook-Practical-I... there is also an audible version. It covers just about everything and in detail.

   This is DevOps maturity model called DORA: https://sre.google/ Check out CNCF on tooling: https://sre.google/

   Useful short reading: https://sre.google/ but make sure you read Site Reliability Workbook... first.

   Is the SRE workbook (not the main SRE book) also too theoretical?

   A few sysadmin and devops curriculum resources; though none but Beaker and Molecule are interactive with any sort of testing AFAIU:

   "System Administrator" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_administrator

   "Software Configuration Management" (SCM) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_configuration_managem...

   "DevOps" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DevOps

   "OpsSchool Curriculum" http://www.opsschool.org

   - Soft Skills 101, 201

   - Labs Exercises

   - Free. Contribute

   awesome-sysadmin > configuration-management https://github.com/kahun/awesome-sysadmin/blob/master/README...

   - This could list reusable module collections such as Puppet Forge and Ansible Galaxy;

   - And module testing tools like Puppet Beaker and Ansible Molecule (that can use Vagrant or Docker to test a [set of] machines)

   https://github.com/stack72/ops-books

   - I'd add "Time Management for System Administrators" (2005)

   https://landing.google.com/sre/books/

   - There's now a "Site Reliability Workbook" to go along with the Google SRE book. Both are free online.

   https://response.pagerduty.com

   - The PagerDuty Incident Response Documentation is also free online.

   - OpsGenie has a free plan also with incident response alerting and on-call management.

   There are a number of awesome-devops lists.

   Minikube and microk8s package Kubernetes into a nice bundle of distributed systems components that'll run on Lin, Mac, Win. You can convert docker-compose.yml configs to Kubernetes pods when you decide that it should've been HA with a load balancer SPOF and x.509 certs and a DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan) from the start!

   The discussion about how DevOps is an overloaded term is definitely now meaningless, in that it's been discussed ad nauseam.

   In the meantime, interesting work continues to be done developing the ideas of DevOps and extending them.

   This book is pretty well known in the HN space, are you referring to "The Site Reliability Workbook"? That looks like it hasn't even been released yet in print, which is very cool that they are offering free downloads.

   If so, thanks for the link! Can't wait to pour through this bad boy.
