Summary
This is the final chapter of the book. Through the entire book, we visited the most important tools used by DevOps engineers, with a strong focus on the Google Cloud Platform.

What is next?
This book did not go particularly in deep into any subject. This is intended. This book is meant to plant the seed of a big tree: the culture of DevOps, hoping that you have enough information to keep growing your knowledge of DevOps tools and processes.
Keeping yourself up to date with the latest tools is a full-time job on its own, but it's very necessary if you want to be on the top of the wave. My opinion is that we are very lucky to be able to participate in the rise and shine of the DevOps culture...
