Infrastructure as Code

Doing Cloud is easy. Doing it right is hard. The difficulty appears to be a problem of choice, but behind every Cloud success or failure story, there's always just one reason - cost. This book offers a framework, rooted in understanding Cloud's nature, for applying that understanding to the many shapes cost takes.

In this book, you build a production-grade system with a multi-stage pipeline that compiles, tests, scans, provisions infrastructure with Terraform and Bicep, deploys with zero downtime, validates with Newman, manages packages through Azure Artifacts, and instruments every stage with the security controls that modern AI-era applications require.

This book will teach you automate everything from builds and tests to database migrations and infrastructure provisioning. By the end, you'll be able to create an automated pipeline that not only builds and tests your application, but also deploys it to a scalable cloud environment such as Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including disaster recovery and backup procedures.

Transform your data center into a powerful private cloud with this comprehensive guide to Red Hat's enterprise stack. Learn how to deploy OpenShift for container orchestration, integrate OpenStack for VM workloads, and implement Ceph for unified storage—all on a single lab host. Through 10 hands-on chapters, you'll build a production-ready hybrid cloud from scratch, complete with security hardening, performance optimization, and GitOps automation, backed by real-world case studies and battle-tested configurations.

Unlock the power of YAML with this comprehensive guide! Whether you're just starting or looking to enhance your skills, From Zero to YAML offers step-by-step instructions, practical examples, and real-world applications to help you master this essential tool for DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and configuration management.

Ready to streamline your workflows and optimize your configurations? Dive into the world of YAML and transform the way you work with data!

Discover how Docker is revolutionizing modern software development by making applications faster to build, easier to deploy, and more reliable to run. Whether you are just getting started or refining production workflows, this practical guide will help you master containers through clear explanations, hands-on examples, and real-world techniques that you can apply with confidence.

Understand Terraform from declarative infrastructure and dependency graphs to secure production workflows. Visual explanations connect configuration, providers, plans, state, modules, automation, safe change, troubleshooting, and recovery.

Understand Kubernetes as a distributed control system, from core objects to production operations. Visual explanations and practical examples connect workloads, networking, storage, security, observability, troubleshooting, upgrades, and recovery.

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.

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.

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.

This book teaches you to build and run one application together. We will be creating Azure Linux node pools with Bicep, debugging nodes with tdnf, shipping slim images, securing pods with workload identity, scaling with KEDA, patching without fear, monitoring with KQL, delivering through GitOps and even training a model on a GPU.Instead of a mysterious layer beneath your containers, it becomes a platform you understand, inspect and trust.
