Opinion

The material of this book made a mixed impression on me. On the one hand, this book is a genuine roadmap for a DevOps specialist. Without details and an in-depth breakdown of each technology, purely skimming the surface, but these very “surfaces” are covered across almost all popular and in-demand areas.

Another big plus worth noting is that the book covers practically the whole journey: from the introduction, soft and hard skills, to specific technologies and the future of this profession. Also, the book reads easily, and you can realistically get through it in a couple of evenings.

The main downside and my main complaint about the book is not even the lack of deep study of any technologies (the book is rather not about that), but that the same idea appears 5–7 times. If you removed all the repetitions and left only the unique text, the book would be 2–3 times smaller.
