Learning DevOps
Simplify your DevOps roles with DevOps tools and techniques The implementation of DevOps processes requires the efficient use of various tools, and the choice of these tools is crucial for the sustainability of projects and collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops). This book presents the different patterns and tools that you can use to provision and configure an infrastructure in the cloud. You'll begin by understanding DevOps culture, the application of DevOps in cloud infrastructure, provisioning with Terraform, configuration with Ansible, and image building with Packer. You'll then be taken through source code versioning with Git and the construction of a DevOps CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Azure Pipelines. This DevOps handbook will also guide you in containerizing and deploying your applications with Docker and Kubernetes. You'll learn how to reduce deployment downtime with blue-green deployment and the feature flags technique, and study DevOps practices for open source projects. Finally, you'll grasp some best practices for reducing the overall application lead time to ensure faster time to market. By the end of this book, you'll have built a solid foundation in DevOps, and developed the skills necessary to enhance a traditional software delivery process using modern software delivery tools and techniques If you are a developer or a system administrator interested in understanding continuous integration, continuous delivery, and containerization with DevOps tools and techniques, this book is for you.

NOTE: the second edition of this book has been published on March 2022 with ISBN 978-1801818964. This review is for the first edition.
This book is a nice read and a great resource. Five stars.
The devops concepts, tools and methodologies are well explained and introduced smoothly and logically. The author describes, with practical examples and clear explanations, all the topics related to the devops world:
* Git ops
* Infrastructure as a code
* Pipelines
* Continuous integration
* Continuous delivery
* Testing and quality checks
* Security
* Containers
In the different chapters, many tools are introduced and used in simple but realistic examples.
The book examples are available on a dedicated repo on GitHub (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Le...).
There are also many videos which complement the book descriptions. They are linked in the book and available on a dedicated playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...) on YouTube.
The book is not (and it could not be) a reference for all devops tools and methodologies so every chapter ends with a useful list of links to additional resources that help the reader increase the knowledge on the specific topic.
This book is highly recommended.
