Who this book is for
This book is aimed at developers who wish to take on larger responsibilities and understand how the infrastructure that builds today's enterprises works. It is also for operations personnel who would like to better support their developers. Technical testers working with test automation are also included in the target audience.
The book is primarily a technical text with practical examples suitable for people who like to learn by implementing concrete working code. Nevertheless, the first two chapters have a less practical approach. They give you the background and overview needed to understand the motivation behind the rest of the chapters.
