More DevOps and Cloud Computing Resources

A couple of years ago I made a list of devops related books and another of podcasts and video channels. I would like to add more to these lists.

Books

• Effective DevOps: Building a Culture of Collaboration, Affinity, and Tooling at Scale
• Infrastructure as Code: Managing Servers in the Cloud
• Site Reliability Engineering: How Google Runs Production Systems
• Architecting for Scale: High Availability for Your Growing Applications
• Lean Enterprise: How High Performance Organizations Innovate at Scale
• Thinking in Systems: A Primer
• Why Managing Sucks and How to Fix It: A Results-Only Guide to Taking Control of Work, Not People
• Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It: The Results-Only Revolution
• The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right
• Personal Kanban: Mapping Work | Navigating Life
• Driving Technical Change
• The Practice of Cloud System Administration: Designing and Operating Large Distributed Systems, Volume 2

I haven't come across that many more podcasts on this stuff. I have widely varying interests, so I listen to podcasts about economics, politics, fitness, science, skepticism, atheism, humanism and more. However, I did add a couple more devops/cloud related podcasts.

Podcasts

• The Goat Farm # Very irregular talks about devops in the enterprise
• Engineers & Coffee
• Devops Chats

I must also say that a couple of podcasts I listed before have really fallen off on producing regularly: DevOps Mastery and Ops All The Things. They started out great but where are they now? The same goes for The Ship Show. DevOps Cafe still puts out the occasional episode.

Video Channels

• Chef
• GitHub
• Docker
• Google Cloud Platform
• AWS
• Hashicorp
• CoreOS

OK. That's enough for now. I'll be back, hopefully not after a two year hiatus, with even more devops, container and cloud computing love!

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.
