DevOps team bookcase

DevOps team bookcase

2 weeks in 2020 and 2 DevOps seminars/trainings for a total of 30 people. It is obvious that some companies are taking this seriously this year. And not only companies but also people. One of the interesting debates we had was about DevOps bookcase. I wrote what's in mine. It is not ordered or prioritized. It's just as I thought it. I read some of this a long time ago (and I should probably repeat it), something recently and something awaits me this year. My list has been extended with the lists from other people.
