Infrastructure as Code

Master Nix without the usual frustration. This practical guide takes you from your first reproducible development environment to production ready infrastructure with clear explanations and real examples. Learn the patterns that help DevOps and platform teams build reliable systems that scale with confidence.

This study guide is designed to help IT professionals prepare for the Terraform Professional certification exam by covering all exam objectives in detail. It provides practical examples, tips, and best practices to master Terraform, a key tool for infrastructure as code, and validate your expertise in the competitive tech industry. Whether you're new to Terraform or an experienced user, this guide aims to enhance your skills and advance your career.

Go from an empty cluster to a self-deploying GitOps pipeline, doing every step yourself: Applications, sync policy, hooks, RBAC, Helm, ApplicationSets, and a setup that ships every branch on push. You finish with a pipeline you can explain line by line, not a demo you watched run.

If you've dabbled in containers and infrastructure or DevOps but don't know why Kubernetes is so popular, or how to get started with it, this is your book! Learn the basics of Kubernetes quickly and efficiently, with real-world application deployment examples.

Building fast LLM systems takes more than a powerful GPU. This book shows you what actually happens between prompt and response, where latency hides and how to fix it. Work from kernels and inference engines to distributed clusters, benchmarking and production reliability, with practical guidance for building systems that stay fast under real-world load.

Master OpenTofu from the ground up with practical examples, proven patterns and expert guidance for real-world infrastructure. Whether you are migrating from Terraform or starting fresh, this book helps you build reliable, secure and maintainable cloud and on-premises environments with confidence.

Whether you're deploying your first AWS application or managing cloud infrastructure at scale, The Practical AWS Guide helps you design, build, secure, automate and operate reliable AWS environments. Through practical examples, real-world architectures and proven best practices, you'll learn the skills needed to build scalable, secure and cost-effective solutions with confidence.

Stop being the on-call engineer for your own house. Build a homelab that monitors, alerts, and fixes itself — entirely managed as code.

Looking for ways to kick off your DevOps career? Let's go on a journey together to AWS cloud, Linux, containers, Kubernetes, IaC, and CI/CD pipelines.

Set up a secure Elasticsearch and Prometheus setup in Kubernetes that can be used in any production environment!

Want to use NixOS "for real" at work? Interested in learning one of the hottest emerging DevOps technologies? Jumpstart your professional career by reading this book authored by a professional user of NixOS.

Your infrastructure isn't a place anymore, it's text in a repo. This book teaches security engineers to read, review, and audit Terraform like an auditor, not a builder, so you know exactly what to look for before someone else's code hits production.

When critical infrastructure degrades, customer-facing applications continue blindly routing users into broken flows because modern architectures lack a dedicated layer for runtime coordination. This book introduces the Operational State Control Plane (OSCP)-formalizing the contracts, distribution mechanics, and zero-network resilience required to govern multi-surface application behavior during active incidents. A practical blueprint for platform architects, principal engineers, and SRE leaders running distributed production estates.

Infrastructure gets complicated fast. Mastering Terragrunt shows you how to bring order to growing Terraform and OpenTofu environments without adding unnecessary complexity. Learn practical patterns for managing multiple accounts, regions and teams, streamline deployments and build infrastructure that stays maintainable as your organization scales.

What if S3 could be more than a place to put files? Build databases, queues, event logs, Git systems and distributed applications directly on object storage. Through production-grade Go implementations, this book explores what works, what breaks and how to design reliable systems around the real guarantees of S3-compatible storage.
