For the modern DevOps professional, the gap between an idea and its implementation is filled with verbose YAML, complex configuration, and repetitive boilerplate. PromptOps: From YAML to AI introduces a new, more efficient workflow that treats Artificial Intelligence not as a replacement for your expertise, but as a powerful co-pilot to augment it.

This book provides a practical guide for engineers to transition from being builders of complex systems to directors of them. It moves beyond theory to offer a hands-on approach, centered on the C.R.A.F.T. framework (Context, Role, Action, Format, Tone)—a clear and repeatable methodology for giving precise instructions to an AI to get production-quality results, the first time.

Inside, you will learn to:

• Generate Infrastructure as Code for Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible by describing infrastructure in plain English.
• Master CI/CD pipelines for GitHub Actions and GitLab CI, eliminating the toil of writing YAML from scratch.
• Perfect containerization by generating optimized, multi-stage Dockerfiles and complete Kubernetes manifest sets.
• Accelerate daily tasks by creating robust scripts for automation, health checks, and backups.
• Improve incident response by using your AI assistant to analyze logs, draft communications, and structure post-mortems.
• Codify and scale your team's knowledge by building a shared, version-controlled library of "Prompts-as-Code."

PromptOps is written for the professional SRE, platform engineer, or developer who understands that the future of operations lies in leveraging automation at a higher level. This book will equip you with the skills to reduce complexity, increase consistency, and focus on the high-level architectural challenges that deliver real business value.
