The DEVOPS Conference 2021 recommendations: 13 great books on DevOps

The DEVOPS Conference was a great opportunity to hear inspiring DevOps stories. It brought together over 10.000 DevOps practitioners - executives, managers, engineers, programmers, and designers, in a space where we could all share ideas, ask questions and gather learnings from real cases on topics such as better decision-making and better tools for DevOps. Books are, of course, another great source of knowledge, and some excellent ones were mentioned during TDOC.
