Very practical approach to patterns and practices for DevOps!
Foster Haines, J2 Interactive

Operations Anti-Patterns, DevOps Solutions shows how to implement DevOps techniques in the kind of imperfect environments most developers work in. Part technology tutorial, part reference manual, and part psychology handbook, this practical guide shows you realistic ways to bring DevOps to your team when you don't have the flexibility to make sweeping changes in organizational structure.

This book empowers you to deliver DevOps with limited resources while navigating the office politics and entrenched mindsets that are all too common in actual workplaces.
