Essential DevOps References

Just a quick list of some books that I think are essential to putting your mind in the DevOps way of thinking. No particular order. I'll add some other references soon. Like podcasts, websites, etc.

• The Lean Startup
• The Year Without Pants
• Continuous Delivery
• The Phoenix Project
• Visible Ops Handbook
• The Goal
• Vagrant: Up and Running
• Kanban
• Web Operations
• Effective Monitoring and Alerting
• The Fifth Discipline
• Deming
• The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

If you force me to pick three to start with I would read: The Phoenix Project,  Lean Start Up and The Year Without Pants. In that order. They are not technology specific. However, they will change the way you think about IT work.
