Part 2: Concepts of Cloud Architecture and Automation

Without a solid foundation in cloud architecture and software development processes, the journey into Infrastructure as Code would be a futile one. Luckily, many of these concepts transcend cloud platforms, and once you understand the key concepts, you’ll be ready to apply that knowledge within the cloud of your choice—be it AWS, Azure, or GCP.

This part has the following chapters:

• Chapter 4, Foundations of Cloud Architecture – Virtual Machines and Infrastructure-as-a-Service
• Chapter 5, Beyond VMs – Core Concepts of Containers and Kubernetes
• Chapter 6, Connecting It All Together – GitFlow, GitOps, and CI/CD
