I was curious to read about DevOps from the Career perspective. Usually when we talk about DevOps, we mean practices and toolsets. This book does provides learning entrypoints into DevOps tooling, covers essential history of practice and philosophy. However, the core of the book, is that holistic approach to the DevOps as a career from building network, to communicating with recruiters and interview process. It definitely helped me to develop more advanced strategy to get on the next step in the DevOps ladder.

I've been thinking about a career switch for a long time, but the whole IT industry has seemed so daunting to try and pick a sector. John's book does a great job at covering all the different potential roles that I can pursue rather than what I mostly see which is just advice on how to get started. I recommend this book for anyone that's new to the industry or looking to make a switch as it can really give you an idea for the type of role that might fit your interests.

DevOps has been a hot career for the past few years, and although it does not get as much attention as others in tech, it is still growing and offers endless opportunities for growth. This book will tell you all you need to know about a DevOps career and help you get started from day one. And if you are already in DevOps, it will guide you to growing in your role.
