In general though all these Google books are really fantastic for anyone who has been a developer for a while and at any company size. I often feel like the chapters just couldn't explain the problem better.
If you want to tackle it from a more practical point of view, I can also recommend "Site Reliability Engineering (How Google runs production systems)", which is not only about the method itself, but naturally goes over distributed systems and explains some fundamentals.
As an sysadmin I can highly recommend Google's «Site Reliability Engineering», available for free online <https://landing.google.com/sre/book.html>.
The Google SRE book is a little dry but has a lot of good content.
Working mostly with IT operations, I'd say the Google SRE books.
