DevOps For PHP Developers

From Server Setup to Deployment.

About the Book

DevOps has for a while been a very repetitive task that is undertaken in order to keep the servers running and also in the development pipeline, whereby you are required to update the systems that have been built. The book focuses on the use of automation tools that reduce the number of manual steps that are taken. The resources referenced in this book are available for free and only require you to install Ansible locally and sign up on GitLab.

Though the book focuses on PHP, the described techniques can be adapted to any language or process including JavaScript, C#, Python and even the publishing of docker images upon the successful commit into the repository. The Envoy script that is provided can be modified as per your needs but it provides zero downtime deployment by versioning the server directories.

Testimonials:

It's very informative and the provided scripts are ready to deploy!

I've enjoyed reading the book and adapting it to NodeJs. With a little tweaking of the ansible scripts, I've managed to spin up and maintain 7 servers!

Cuts down the cost of third-party services that offer the same at around $15 per month

All future updates will be free including the next update that will incorporate the use of GitHub and Bitbucket.
