Hands-On DevOps

About the Book

DevOps Katas: Hands-On DevOps is a collection of practical exercises that will teach you how to use three of the most important DevOps tools: Docker, Git, and Jenkins. Each set of katas will introduce you to the tool and its usage. The katas build on each other, so that after you're finished, you will have created a complete Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery pipeline.

Many technical books are "walls of text," heavy on theory with exercises sprinkled throughout. Not so with DevOps Katas! Quite the opposite. DevOps Katas teaches by doing.

The katas in DevOps Katas are based on Code Katas, which in turn are inspired by the katas of martial arts: short, quick-to-practice exercises designed to be practiced regularly. Katas are broken into steps, each with a few commands. You'll execute the commands first, then learn what you did and why.

All of the software you'll need to practice DevOps Katas is free. It's also provided to you in the form of a free Learning Virtual Machine, available for download at www.devopskatas.com. The LVM is pre-loaded with everything you need. All you have to do is download and install Virtualbox. No installing, no configuring, just kata practice.
