A Practical Guide to Infrastructure Automation for SysAdmins & DevOps Engineers
Transform the way you build and manage systems. This book is a complete, streamlined guide to Infrastructure as Code, teaching you how to automate provisioning, configuration, orchestration, and system enforcement using the three most powerful IaC Terraform, Ansible, and SaltStack.
Whether you manage cloud servers, on-premise clusters, or a growing homelab, this book shows you how to build reliable, repeatable, and fully automated infrastructure. You’ll learn real-world workflows, modular Terraform patterns, dynamic Ansible inventories, SaltStack’s event-driven automation model, and GitOps pipelines that tie everything together into zero-touch operations.
Written in a practical, example-driven style, this guide helps you scale from a handful of servers to enterprise-grade deployments—without complexity or guesswork.
What You’ll Learn
• Provision cloud and datacenter resources using Terraform
• Configure and orchestrate systems with Ansible
• Enforce compliance and self-healing states with SaltStack
• Build GitOps pipelines for end-to-end automation
• Apply IaC principles to AWS, Proxmox, VMware, XCP-ng, and homelabs
If you’re ready to move from manual administration to repeatable automation, this book gives you everything you need to build modern infrastructure with confidence.
