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.

Take control of your development stack from the ground up. This book shows you how to build and run your own Git hosting, CI/CD and engineering platform, from a single server to infrastructure built for thousands. Learn how the pieces fit together, why key decisions matter and where the trade-offs really are.

Master Terraform from your first configuration to production infrastructure at scale. Learn through practical examples, real cloud scenarios and proven patterns for building secure, reliable infrastructure. Go beyond the syntax to understand the decisions, trade-offs and workflows that help teams use Terraform with confidence.

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.

Envoy Proxy is the foundation of modern cloud-native networking, powering service meshes, API gateways and AI infrastructure. This practical guide shows you how to design, deploy and operate Envoy in production with expert guidance, real-world configurations and advanced patterns for scalable, resilient systems.

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.

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 talk about leveraging more capabilities of Infrastructure as Code especially on testing. How to start writing test against IaC code, what to test, and sample use cases on how unit testing IaC code could lead to safer, and better operations process.

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.
