Effective DevOps: Building a Culture of Collaboration, Affinity, and Tooling at Scale Review: Highly recommended for all audiences - I actually met both of the authors when they were teaching a course on DevOps and Chef at the Velocity Conference in 2015, and I can say this this book is nothing less than an excellent distillation of all of the humor, insight, and pure devops passion that they demonstrated throughout that day. Though written with management in mind -- those with the most immediate power to affect the corporate culture -- I would recommend this to anybody with even a passing interest in what devops is, what it can make possible, and how to put your company into the right cultural and organizational place to make wonderful devopsy things happen. This book is destined to be a primary part of the devops corpus for years to come. Review: Outstanding book that connects the technical and cultural aspects of DevOps in a fantastic way! - The book is an outstanding exploration of the connection between culture and tools in implementing DevOps, in particular it highlights how all the expensive, fancy technical tools in the world will not make you successful if your organization has a poor culture. Technical skills and cultural skills cannot be considered mutually exclusive, nor are they things that can be addressed separately. Jennifer Davis and Katherine Daniels have written a fantastic resource for technologists, managers, and those who have only heard about this "devops thing." I highly recommend this book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,461,944 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #247 in Software Design Tools #431 in Software Testing #1,623 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (122) | | Dimensions | 7.3 x 0.93 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1491926309 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1491926307 | | Item Weight | 1.46 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 408 pages | | Publication date | July 19, 2016 | | Publisher | O'Reilly Media | ## Images ![Effective DevOps: Building a Culture of Collaboration, Affinity, and Tooling at Scale - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91uRZwhpyTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended for all audiences *by M***T on June 26, 2016* I actually met both of the authors when they were teaching a course on DevOps and Chef at the Velocity Conference in 2015, and I can say this this book is nothing less than an excellent distillation of all of the humor, insight, and pure devops passion that they demonstrated throughout that day.

Technical skills and cultural skills cannot be considered mutually exclusive, nor are they things that can be addressed separately. Jennifer Davis and Katherine Daniels have written a fantastic resource for technologists, managers, and those who have only heard about this "devops thing." I highly recommend this book! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not quite what I expected, but useful nevertheless *by D***N on July 1, 2016* The subtitle says it all. This book has an extremely strong emphasis on the cultural aspects for creating an atmosphere suitable for the development of a solid devops practice. It has a liberal focus on the presumed importance of team (and workforce) diversity (ethnic background, race, gender, sexuality, age, etc.) and its centrality to creating a devops culture. This belief sets the mood of the entire book, from the topics, to the tone, to the writing style. Its difficult to find a page where this theme isn't drilled home in one way or another - sometimes plainly, sometimes more subtlety. For example, there is a sidebar section describing the personal challenges of a deaf (female) developer. While the story was surely interesting, I couldn't help but feel that it was out of place. This kind of thing is everywhere in this book, to the point of being distracting. If you are expecting advice or direction on hardcore tooling or technology, this is definitely not the book for you. It is much more in line with HR and management-themed books on building diverse teams, handling conflicts, building collaboration, and then applying everything at scale. The authors even point out that people might be surprised by the apparent lopsided emphasis, especially when compared to just about every book in this space. You could change the word "Devops" in the title to just about any corporate practice you wanted to and much of the book could stay as is. The authors make a strong and compelling case for devops as a cultural change - for them it is far less about the tools, processes, and technologies associated - it's about the people. This rings true with my own experiences in this space. However, I do not believe they made the case for such a strong emphasis on diversity as a requirement for success in that change. This premise so strongly permeates the book that one wonders if they were trying to convince themselves of its centrality. It's as if they believe a typical IT organization (which they point out is staffed mostly by white, cisgender males) couldn't possible be successful at making the cultural transformation. Still, the down-to-earth tips they present are tried-and-true. I found the chapter on collaboration particularly useful. All-in-all it's a practical, worthy addition to your bookshelf. ## Frequently Bought Together - Effective DevOps: Building a Culture of Collaboration, Affinity, and Tooling at Scale - The DevOps Handbook, 2nd Edition: How to Create World-Class Agility, Reliability, & Security in Technology Organizations - The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/29554537-effective-devops-building-a-culture-of-collaboration-affinity-and-tooling](https://www.desertcart.at/products/29554537-effective-devops-building-a-culture-of-collaboration-affinity-and-tooling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
