- DevOps isn’t just about tools or automation. It’s rooted in Lean, Agile, and Extreme Programming, and it’s as much about culture and collaboration as it is about technology.
- The core aim of DevOps is to shorten the SDLC and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.
- There’s no single career path. You can be a generalist, a specialist (like in security or cloud), or something in between.
- The technical fundamentals still matter: scripting, version control, CI/CD, IaC, cloud, and containers. But soft skills like communication, empathy, and adaptability are just as important.
- Certifications can help, but real-world projects and continuous learning carry more weight.
The book also offers practical advice on job search, including building a strong LinkedIn profile and cv, working with recruiters, and preparing for interviews. It’s a solid read if you’re thinking about getting into DevOps or figuring out what direction to take next.

Nothing that can’t be found online with some searching. However it is a time saver and an excellent attempt to collect the topics relevant to a DevOps career. Like the fact that it covers not just the technical but also the social media, mentoring, growth and progression.
Overall a good book to browse and get a sense of the lay of the landscape for the topic.
