In this 2nd edition, I'm going to be working with you on a single app called OrderDesk. We'll build its inventory, roles and secrets, and then we'll patch its servers, provision its cloud resources and deploy it to Kubernetes. Later, we'll watch it with Prometheus, heal it with Event-Driven Ansible and diagnose its failures with playbooks that collect evidence in seconds. Then, in the last few chapters, we'll start inviting AI agents through tools and MCP servers, while approvals and check mode make sure that everyone keeps control of the decisions. You don't need to be a pro programmer to follow along.
