The DevOps handbook
"Increase profitability, elevate work culture, and exceed productivity goals through DevOps practices. More than ever, the effective management of technology is critical for business competitiveness. For decades, technology leaders have struggled to balance agility, reliability, and security. The consequences of failure have never been greater--whether it's the healthcare.gov debacle, cardholder data breaches, or missing the boat with Big Data in the cloud. And yet, high performers using DevOps principles, such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Etsy, and Netflix, are routinely and reliably deploying code into production hundreds, or even thousands, of times per day. Following in the footsteps of The Phoenix Project, The DevOps Handbook shows leaders how to replicate these incredible outcomes, by showing how to integrate Product Management, Development, QA, IT Operations, and Information Security to elevate your company and win in the marketplace"

What Hacker News says
- I adore programming books... for a specific use case. If I want to learn a lot about a subject, nothing is better than a book:
- it was edited, so ideas and text are consistent
- the examples worked (at some point in time)
- the author has enough time-space to clearly describe a lot of material well
Nothing beats a book for an enormous amount of detailed information. Even just reading the table of contents helps to help understand what to focus on during study.
My copy of "DevOps Handbook" is covered in tags and handwritten notes. Brett Slatkin's "Effective Python" is way too much for me, but I got a ton out of the parts I focused on. No other media is like books!
- The Phoenix Project has been very influential on me in my security career, at least partially because I share the name of the ineffectual CISO and want so desperately to avoid the link.
I think the book is still very applicable, and every security practitioner needs to be hit over the head with it (or at least The DevOps Handbook or Accelerate). Security generally is decades behind engineering operations, even though security is basically just a more paranoid lens for doing engineering ops; the ideas from Phoenix are still depressingly revolutionary in my field.
