Introduction

This book is a guide to DevOps and software delivery: that is, a guide to the numerous tools and techniques that are required to take that application code and run it and maintain it in production, where it can generate value for your users and your company on an ongoing basis. This includes going through all the modern practices for deploying applications and microservices to the cloud, managing your infrastructure as code, automating your software delivery lifecycle in a CI/CD pipeline, configuring networking, setting up data stores, and hooking up monitoring.
