Purchase options and add-ons

DevOps for Developers delivers a practical, thorough introduction to approaches, processes and tools to foster collaboration between software development and operations. Efforts of Agile software development often end at the transition phase from development to operations. This book covers the delivery of software, this means “the last mile”, with lean practices for shipping the software to production and making it available to the end users, together with the integration of operations with earlier project phases (elaboration, construction, transition).

DevOps for Developers describes how to streamline the software delivery process and improve the cycle time (that is the time from inception to delivery). It will enable you to deliver software faster, in better quality and more aligned with individual requirements and basic conditions. And above all, work that is aligned with the “DevOps” approach makes even more fun!

Provides patterns and toolchains to integrate software development and operations
Delivers an one-stop shop for kick-starting with DevOps
Provides guidance how to streamline the software delivery process

Full of fluff, incredibly repetitive, figures look drawn by a 3 year old, many typos

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2012

Verified Purchase

Very disappointed in this title. There is so much repetitive content its amazing. I've never seen anything like it. The author literally repeats the exact sentence, word for word, multiple times in the same paragraph and then again in subsequent chapters. Figures are few and far between and have the appearance of being created by a child. There is nothing novel or innovative here. All that combined with the myriad of poor grammar, structure, and typos make me want a refund immediately. I just can't get over how much the author repeats the same phrases, sentences, and even whole paragraphs chapter after chapter.

Pragmatic, covers the "why" as well as the "how-to"

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2012

"DevOps" is a relatively new buzzword that's already being co-opted by vendors and consultants eager for revenue. _DevOps for Developers_ de-mystifies the buzzword. It is a down-to-earth, practical guide that's accessible to anyone who participates in delivering a software product.

The author starts by explaining the origin and rise of DevOps, why it's important, and the problems it can help solve. He takes a holistic view, showing how not only all different roles on a development team, but also those on the operations side, benefit by working together, rather than by leaving the "Ops" part of delivering a product to a separate department. One thing I especially like about the book is it warns you of potential pitfalls along the way, so you can recognize if your team is getting into trouble, and make course corrections.

Though the book appropriately notes that people and processes are more important than tools, we still need tools to create the fast feedback needed for successful software delivery. The book presents examples of useful tools and appropriate ways to measure and track progress. It explores how processes such as Kanban help ensure successful development and delivery.

Best of all, the book presents many real-life examples, which I think are a great way to learn. Disclaimer: I provided one of these real-life stories about my own teams' DevOps approach. So this may not be the most objective review. However, I wouldn't have volunteered as a technical reviewer, nor taken the trouble to provide an example, if I didn't believe this book provides essential information. It ties together various agile values, principles and practices with the practical side of how to turn concepts into delivered features that provide business value.

How to enhance agile methods to operation

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2013

Developers tend to produce updates in short cycles whilst admins prefer a stable system. And if something bad happens, they often start finger-pointing to blame the other side. One solution is to tear down the silos of development and operation. In other words, set up integrated teams.

This is the core message which Michael Hüttermann would like to stress out. Agile methods and tools might be used for development as well as for deployment and operation. In his book, Michael explains how to do and which (free) tools to use.

Good ideas but too repetitive and way too expensive

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

Acceptable essay on DevOps and cultural differences between Operations and Development. Would give a 4-star review is the book was half the length (too much fluff), and not more than about $10. Right now it reads as a small collection of good ideas repeated on and on and on.

DevOps for Developers is Aimed at the Right Audience

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2013

Michael has a solid grasp of the subject and understands that DevOps is more than just a series of scripts written and maintained by the (mostly) operations staff that tries to run with DevOps. I'd recommend this book for anyone looking for a refreshing break from DevOps books written by sysadmins who think that DevOps stops at Puppet or Chef.

The first comprehensive DevOps book

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2012

DevOps is a rising star in the buzzwords firmament, but also a strong movement to foster good practices in the SW industry. This book fills a black hole for DevOps practitioners, for the first time there is a textbook that covers
the subject with a systematic approach. Hütterman shows a deep knowledge of culture, processes and tools. This is not a cookbook but an invitation to find the way to transform your organization with examples of success and failure. Well written, with sense of humor and up to date bibliography and references.

In my opinion this is not a good book for developers, but as DevOps is an emerging field then ultimately you may disagree...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

In a nutshell: I believe that this is not a book for the technically focused developer or sysadmin. If there is an target audience it would probably be people in a management role who are looking to understand what the 'DevOps' movement is all about, but even for this group of readers there are much better free resources on the web.

I'm primarily a Java developer, and working as a contractor in small startup companies I often have to work across the entire stack from instance/OS administration right though to creation of web-based UIs. The term 'DevOps' is obviously getting a lot of attention in the computing/development press, and the type of companies I work for are increasingly expecting this to be a skill I should have (even if they don't know exactly what DevOps encompasses!).

I bought this book to help improve my DevOps skills, but after spending 40 minutes reading the first few chapters on the train home one night I believed I had been mis-sold. The author doesn't satisfy what I believed to be the goals of a book entitled 'DevOps for Developers', and although the chapters appear to cover the popular DevOps topics they do so without any focus or depth, with a lot of replication, and an absence of good pace.

I can't recommend this book if you are a developer who is looking for an technical deep-dive into the world of DevOps/sysadmin, and to be honest, I haven't yet found a book which does fully meet this requirement. If you're looking for knowledge on how to set up a delivery pipeline (from Dev to Ops, so to speak), then I would recommend the excellent Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases Through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation (Addison-Wesley Signature) (and also the very informative videos by the authors available on YouTube and InfoQ). I would also recommend the excellent DevOps Troubleshooting: Linux Server Best Practices , which exactly met my requirements for learning essential DevOps sysadmin-style knowledge (and for which I have also left a glowing review!).

Update 09/08/13

After an extensive public conversation with the author (viewable in the comments below) I have decided to change the title of the review and also award one more star. I still don't believe that this book met the expectations which were set when I read the title, back cover and front matter. I have also tried to argue in the comments below that I believe I am an archetypal developer, and as such the fact that this book doesn't meet my requirements may also suggest that it doesn't meet the needs of other developers. I also stand by my initial comments that the book is not as technically focussed as I would have liked, it is repetitive in some parts, and it simply doesn't flow correctly in many parts (i.e. I found it difficult to remain engaged while reading).

However, after discussion with the book's author I do appreciate that not everyone can agree as to what DevOps is, or what the important points are, and I may have been overly critical in this respect. The author also makes several valid points about DevOps not just being about tooling (which I also support), and as such, this book could be useful in describing and discussing DevOps from this point of view.

It is clear from the conversation below that the author and I have differing views on DevOps, and this lack of agreement is a common problem with emerging trends. I believe this disagreement to be healthy and also beneficial, as these differences lead to interesting discussions which ultimately provide clarity and drive the field forward. As such, I would encourage potential readers to read through the comments associated with this review and draw your own conclusion from the discussion between the author and myself.
