Description

DevOps and the cloud have changed how we look at software development and operations like never before, leading to the rapid growth of various DevOps tools, techniques, and practices. This updated edition helps you pick up the right tools by providing you with everything you need to get started with your DevOps journey. The book begins by introducing you to modern cloud-native architecture, and then teaches you about the architectural concepts needed to implement the modern way of application development. The next set of chapters helps you get familiarized with Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, Packer, and other similar tools to enable you to build a base. As you advance, you’ll explore the core elements of cloud integration—AWS ECS, GKE, and other CaaS services. The chapters also discuss GitOps, continuous integration, and continuous delivery—GitHub actions, Jenkins, and Argo CD—to help you understand the essence of modern app delivery. Later, you’ll operate your container app in production using a service mesh and apply AI in DevOps. Throughout the book, you’ll discover best practices for automating and managing your development lifecycle, infrastructure, containers, and more. By the end of this DevOps book, you'll be well-equipped to develop and operate applications using modern tools and techniques.

Rahul Sinha Jan 30, 2024

The book lives up to its promise of providing the readers with everything that they would need to begin their career as a DevOps Engineer. It has an extremely well-set flow, and the author not only provides knowledge of core concepts and tools associated with them, but the practical nature of the book allows the readers to have a more hands-on experience, making the learning more enjoyable. It covers almost all topics that you would want to learn to practice DevOps within your organization. The best part of the book is the example Blog App that the author uses to explain the concepts. It feels like you are building an Application and then using DevOps around it to Build, Test, Deliver, Secure, and Operate it effectively using cutting-edge tools.

Asif R Jan 21, 2024

It’s been a while since I read a technical book cover-to-cover, so I was delighted to reach the end. In around 550 pages, the book systematically covers many DevOps and related topics, everything from Amazon ECS to ZFS and the bewildering number of technologies and acronyms that seem to prevail the IT landscape at present. Though fasten your seatbelts, it’s a high-octane ride.The book houses five major sections: a) DevOps Fundamentals b) Container Orchestration c) Managing Config & Infrastructure d) Delivery with GitOps e) Production OperationThe practical exercises add haldi (turmeric) and jira (yes, intended- cumin) to the work, making the subject all together less esoteric and approachable. I was particularly pleased to see Gaurav continue the ‘Hello World’ tradition (my first Hello World was written in Pascal, 1993).Gaurav peppers the theory with useful, real-world tips, a testament to his knowledge, experience, and genuine zeal in this area.Each chapter ends with a list of questions to reader has been paying attention (though I’d prefer the answers at the end of the book, to stop a roving eye). The extra chapter explaining the role of AI in DevOps is a welcome, topical addition, something I’m sure that will take a more prominent position in future editions. Perhaps a slight variant, Modern DevOps (Light) could present a condensed ‘management friendly’ treatment along with additional chapters on cost/management implications of DevOps.In any case, the book is very well written and presented, though the heading capitalisation style took a little while to adjust. The free PDF version is also a generous touch.In short, a weighty, practical tome on all matters DevOps, worthy of a few inches on any techie’s bookshelf.Now I have more ‘free’ subscriptions than I thought possible, but I’m looking forward to bombarding the team with new acronyms and asking why we’re not using Grype and Jinja2 templates.

After having read the first edition, the second edition is a great improvement over the first. Though this edition still guides readers through Cloud, DevOps, containers and the essential considerations for integrating it into their systems, the approach that it takes through the example Blog Application is even more helpful. The author explores CI/CD pipelines through the lens of GitOps which makes it even more cloud native, while offering a well-structured journey from foundational concepts to advanced insights, accompanied by helpful visuals and terminal outputs. Suitable for both beginners and those with basic knowledge, it serves as an excellent resource for mastering containers, Docker, Kubernetes, and the broader realms of continuous integration, delivery, and DevOps. I highly recommend this well-crafted and instructive book for anyone embarking on the DevOps journey.

Saurav Singhal Jan 19, 2024

The author does a great job in explaining about DevOps and how we can implement it with a cloud native mindset. It covers all popular tools that you would need to start your career in DevOps and author does a great job in making the book practical with various labs. Enjoyed reading it and was a great learning experience. Highly recommend!
