Description

This practical guide to DevOps uses GitHub as the DevOps platform and shows how you can leverage the power of GitHub for collaboration, lean management, and secure and fast software delivery. The chapters provide simple solutions to common problems, thereby helping teams that are already on their DevOps journey to further advance into DevOps and speed up their software delivery performance. From finding the right metrics to measure your success to learning from other teams’ success stories without merely copying what they’ve done, this book has it all in one place. As you advance, you’ll find out how you can leverage the power of GitHub to accelerate your value delivery – by making work visible with GitHub Projects, measuring the right metrics with GitHub Insights, using solid and proven engineering practices with GitHub Actions and Advanced Security, and moving to event-based and loosely coupled software architecture. By the end of this GitHub book, you'll have understood what factors influence software delivery performance and how you can measure your capabilities, thus realizing where you stand in your journey and how you can move forward.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers, solutions architects, DevOps engineers, and SREs, as well as for engineering or product managers who want to enhance their software delivery performance. Whether you're new to DevOps, already have experience with GitHub Enterprise, or come from a platform such as Azure DevOps, Team Foundation Server, GitLab, Bitbucket, Puppet, Chef, or Jenkins but struggle to achieve maximum performance, you’ll find this book beneficial.

What you will learn

  • Effectively measure software delivery performance
  • Adopt DevOps and lean management techniques in your teams
  • Plan, track, and visualize your work using GitHub Issues and Projects

I’ve had the opportunity to see the author’s work in the community so I was interested to see his take on DevOps with GitHub… and I wasn’t disappointed.In summary, I appreciate the broad view of DevOps and not a narrow view as I’ve seen in many other books. In fact, including modern topics such as remote work, it may be the broadest set of “DevOps practices” that I’ve seen in one place. At 400+ pages it isn’t necessarily a book that I would recommend reading cover-to-cover in order. Luckily you can pick and chose the chapters that make sense, and review the others when it makes sense.The book does provide an interesting balance. It reviews and extends on some long held DevOps concepts and practices, brings in up-to-date research and references, and still manages to find some time to go deep on topics. The book goes deep enough to understand both general practices and a best practices use of GitHub supporting those practices. There are plenty of screen captures showing GitHub in action. But it does not generally go deep enough to provide a step-by-step. It does help the reader understand the breadth of options and an idea of what to look for in product documentation (usually in the references section).The downsides? It is a long technical book. I found myself reading because I was interested but not because it was necessarily easy. There were certainly places that I chose to skim and came back to later. And after reading the first few chapters I found my self skipping around based on my interests. There is also a risk that some content will become outdated due to the change of pace in tools like GitHub.In my opinion, if you are interested in a modernized view of broad DevOps concepts and best practices, and want to see how they are supported in GitHub, it is an excellent investment!

I've interacted a little bit with the author in the community, and was excited to see that he had published a book. There aren't a ton of books out there relating to GitHub, and none are as expansive as this one.Even if you aren't using GitHub, this book is still an invaluable resource. There are several sections on non-tech related aspects of DevOps, such as capturing metrics that are useful, planning work, and teamwork/collaborative cultures. And if you are using GitHub, you are in luck, because pretty much every aspect of the tool is covered here.This book is going to be useful for anyone who's in the DevOps field and I would highly recommend.

Neue Trends und Tools werden nahezu täglich hervorgebracht. Dieses Buch stellt eine Vielzahl von spannenden und überaus nützlichen Tools vor, die jeder einmal gesehen haben sollte. Der tiefe Einblick den der Autor gewährt, seine Art, Probleme zu beleuchten und zu erklären, und die einfachen pragmatischen Lösungsansätze. Sie machen das Buch zu einer sehr guten Ergänzung des Lernmaterials für alle, die sich mit dem Thema befassen oder in Zukunft befassen möchten.Gerade im Bereich der Integration von GitHub und der damit verbundenen riesigen Toolbox bietet dieses Buch sehr tiefgehende und wissenswerte Punkte.Die Investition in dieses Buch lohnt sich meiner Meinung nach definitiv, wenn man sich für umfangreiche DevOps-Konzepte und Best Practice Beispiele interessiert und erfahren möchte, wie sich GitHub hierbei integrieren lässt.

Although the book is based on GitHub (product 5%), it shares experience and information that applies to the other core pieces of the DevOps pie - process (15%), and people (80%) in these six parts. The book has become my first-point-of-contact for topics such as Metrics that matter, OKRs (objectives, key, results), YAML basics, Feature Flags, Trunk-based Development, working with Git, Code Security, Testing, and much more. What caught my eye throughout the book is Michael's focus on "keeping it simple" - love it!

I've been a fan of the author for a while in the DevOps community, so I was particularly interested in reading this book. A deep knowledge doesn't always translate to a useful read, but in this case it absolutely did.What impressed me in particular was the deliberate strategy of digging into the theory and principles of DevOps followed by instruction on how to implement what's been discussed. I love this structure - it's both strategy and how-to which serves all audiences from management to team leads and individual engineers, whether they use GitHub or another toolset.The author is opinionated on many principles and practices but those opinions are clearly-reasoned and explained with excellent examples and justifications.There are some fantastic insights into many aspects of software engineering and delivery that aren't often reflected upon. Rather than stopping simply at observation, the author suggests solutions and different ways of working. So rather than just theories and suggestions, you end up with actionable content.For example, early in the book the author makes some pointed observations on how and why poorly-timed estimation can be toxic. But rather than stopping there, he talks about what to do about it.Another thing that struck me was that there is really comprehensive coverage of each chapter and heading. Let's face it - the book isn't a short read. So in a book that covers so much ground it would be understandable to have a shallow look at some areas. But this isn't the case. Each heading could be a blog post or even a short white paper. You're never left feeling he just played lip service to a heading he knew the book should have.My only negative is one that's sadly unavoidable for technical books - updates and new features that come to GitHub will mean out of date information in time. Ironically this problem is made worse because GitHub follows many of the practices promoted in this book!However, at the time of this review, the content is very current, and the significant non-product content is very unlikely to date any time soon.In all, this is a very comprehensive and well-written book. I'd recommend it to anyone struggling with implementing DevOps concepts - whether they're using GitHub or not.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
