This helped me understand the ‘why’ behind architectural decisions later in the book, such as provisioning and manipulating cloud resources, automating DevOps tasks, and enhancing CI/CD pipelines – all of which are super practical and aligned with modern best practices I’ve seen in the field.One of the strengths of this book is its focus on practical examples and real-world scenarios. Roy provides step-by-step instructions and code snippets, making it easy for readers to apply the concepts discussed in the book to their own work. The book covers advanced topics such as DevSecOps, MLOps, DataOps, and Python's integration with generative AI, offering a glimpse into the cutting-edge applications of DevOps. Roy is definitely at the frontier of the field and his command of the topic comes through.The author has done an excellent job in presenting complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. The book is well-organized and easy to navigate, with each chapter building upon the previous one. While the topics are pretty technical, the writing style tends to be super engaging and informative, making it a pleasure to read.IMO Hands On Python for DevOps is a great read for folks looking to enhance their DevOps skills with modern practices.
