Publisher's Synopsis
Tired of the "Wall of Confusion" between Dev and Ops? Struggling to deliver software faster while maintaining rock-solid reliability in the cloud? The modern tech landscape demands speed, scale, and stability - achieving all three requires mastering the powerful convergence of Cloud Computing, DevOps culture, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) discipline.
This essential guide demystifies the core concepts and provides a practical, step-by-step roadmap for implementing these critical practices. Moving beyond buzzwords, this book clearly explains why these methodologies matter and how they work together, bridging the gap between foundational principles and real-world application. Learn how to leverage cloud platforms effectively, foster a collaborative DevOps culture, and implement the engineering rigor of SRE to build and operate resilient, scalable systems.
Dive deep into the technologies and strategies driving modern operations. Inside, you'll gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills covering:
Cloud Fundamentals: Core concepts (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), VPCs, networking, and security best practices (IAM, Secrets Management) on major providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
DevOps Culture & CI/CD: Implementing CALMS principles, building automated pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions/GitLab CI, integrating testing (Unit, Integration), and artifact management.
SRE Principles in Practice: Defining meaningful SLIs & SLOs, ma
naging Error Budgets, identifying and eliminating toil through automation.
Containerization & Orchestration: Mastering Docker (Dockerfiles, Images, Containers) and Kubernetes (Pods, Deployments, Services, Helm basics) for packaging and scaling applications.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automating infrastructure provisioning with tools like Terraform.
Observability: Implementing effective Monitoring (Metrics, Logs, Traces), understanding the Four Golden Signals, and leveraging tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and cloud-native options.
Incident Management: Establishing severity levels, effective on-call practices, communication protocols (War Rooms), and blameless postmortems.
DevSecOps Integration: Shifting security left by integrating SAST, SCA, DAST, and container scanning into your pipelines.
Whether you're a developer seeking operational understanding, an Ops engineer modernizing your skillset, an aspiring SRE, or a technical leader guiding your team, this book provides the essential knowledge and practical examples you need.
