DevOps Automation Cookbook: 125+ Practical Recipes for Modern DevOps
DevOps Automation Cookbook is a practical resource for automating, scaling, and securing modern software delivery workflows. With more than 125 hands-on recipes, the book brings together essential DevOps technologies and techniques for infrastructure provisioning, continuous integration, deployment, testing, containers, security, and configuration management.
Designed around practical implementation, this guide helps readers move beyond DevOps theory and apply automation to everyday development and operations challenges. From Infrastructure as Code and version control to CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration, each area contributes to a more consistent, efficient, and reliable software delivery process.
Infrastructure as Code & Automation
Learn how to automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Terraform and Ansible. Explore repeatable approaches for managing infrastructure and reducing manual operational tasks.
Git, CI/CD & Software Delivery
Build a stronger understanding of version control and automated software delivery with Git, Jenkins, and Travis. Learn how continuous integration and deployment practices can improve development workflows and support faster, more reliable releases.
