The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm
The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm
Building, testing, deploying, and monitoring services inside Docker Swarm clusters
About the Book
The book envelops all aspects of building, testing, deploying, and monitoring services inside Docker Swarm clusters. We'll go through all the tools required for running a cluster. We'll go through the whole process with clusters running locally on a laptop. Once we are confident with the outcome, we'll translate the experience to different hosting providers like AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, and so on.
The book goes deeper into one of the subjects explored in The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit. It is updated to use the latest and greatest features and techniques introduced in Docker 1.12.
We'll go through many practices and even more tools. While there will be a lot of theory, this is a hands-on book. You won't be able to complete it by reading it in a metro on a way to work. You'll have to read this book while in front of the computer and get your hands dirty.

C++20
Rainer GrimmC++20 is the next big C++ standard after C++11. As C++11 did it, C++20 changes the way we program modern C++. This change is, in particular, due to the big four of C++20: ranges, coroutines, concepts, and modules.
The book is almost daily updated. These incremental updates ease my interaction with the proofreaders.

Composing Software
Eric ElliottAll software design is composition: the act of breaking complex problems down into smaller problems and composing those solutions. Most developers have a limited understanding of compositional techniques. It's time for that to change.
- #10
Cloud Strategy
Gregor Hohpe“Strategy is the difference between making a wish and making it come true.” A successful migration to the cloud shouldn’t be driven by wishes, but guided by a sound strategy, frameworks, and decision models. This book tells you how—without becoming superficial nor getting lost in technology and product details.
