Summary
This chapter took a few detours that you may have not seen coming. It was a chapter about simplicity, finding better ways to get your work done, and optimizing the use of your resources to get that work done.
You learned how to deliver content to your users faster and in a more customized way while at the same time collecting their data for analytical insights. You also learned the methods and formats of this data collection process, as well as the important role that Python can play in processing this data.
You also learned about applications, how most application waste is created, and how this can bog down your workload and your successors for years to come. You also learned a few ways to either mitigate, get around, or eliminate this problem.
So, in conclusion, you have now figured out that manipulating resources is about being efficient not just for the resources, but for the sake of your own time. I hope that you reflect on this chapter for your DevOps workloads...
