A good rare book which covers a lot of different recent technologies with examples e ties them all together nicely. The book's English grammar could have been checked. the author is very very verbose, so the book could be much shorter with the same content. Overall a good book and one that I would recommend for anyone in the devops path.

Its good to read it and do practice at the same time.

[Dushan Hanuska · Rating 3 out of 5]

It has some good generic advice, but I found it hard to follow (hands-on) if you do not use the same tools or have a preference for some other or newer tools.

It is very specific with the prescribed set of tools, not very flexible. If you are looking for generally applicable advice you will have to fish it out from long sections of code listings and diagrams.

When I Read it, the book was a little outdated, today has a newest version, the author explain in a straightforward way the software development process and the structure that could be applied in any projects for ci/cd.

Прекрасная книга. Читай, параллельно выполняй, смотри объяснения. Отличное введение в современные средства DevOps-a.

[Christian Henry · Rating 2 out of 5]

Wanted to like this book, but it just reads like an extended tutorial with lots of typos. I expected something that focused more on the fundamentals -- why you'd choose to do this, the pros and cons, and abstractly the various pieces that make up a final solution.

Great Read

This book does exactly as it describes: gives a great overview of connecting the dots between different tools to provide a self-sufficient devops workflow. Great book!

[Tony Poerio · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very helpful hands-on intro to the whole suite of DevOps tools.

More than anything else, I think it's valuable to step through how all the pieces are put together, in a practical, logical way.

[Artur Sabirov · Rating 5 out of 5]

Many examples are outdated, but it's worth reading anyway.

[Randal Cobb]

Excellent book bringing several tools together in a practical way: Think Terraform meets Ansible meets Packer meets Vagrant.
