Today, I’m excited to announce my new book! It’s called Fundamentals of DevOps and Software Delivery, and it’s a comprehensive, hands-on guide to deploying and managing software in production, written for practitioners.
Readers of Terraform: Up & Running often asked me to recommend a general, comprehensive, practical book on DevOps. I couldn’t find one—so I wrote it. It covers orchestration (VMs, K8S, serverless), IaC, CI/CD, networking, data storage, secrets management, monitoring, and more:
This is not another book on DevOps culture. This is a hands-on guide that includes dozens of step-by-step examples that will have you running real systems: e.g., you’ll deploy Kubernetes clusters in AWS, manage infrastructure with OpenTofu, set up CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, etc:
In the spirit of “ship early and often,” I’m releasing this before it’s done. The book is now available on the following platforms:
- Blog post series on the Gruntwork website (free).
- Early release of the e-book on the O’Reilly Platform (30-day free trial).
- Pre-order the paper book on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
I hope you find the book useful. And if you read it, I’d love to hear your feedback: I’m still writing, so this is your chance to help shape the book!
