Infrastructure as Code, Patterns and Practices (Manning)
Wednesday, 28 September 2022

This book explains how to automate infrastructure by applying changes in a codified manner. Using examples in Python and Terraform, Rosemary Wang shows how to create, test, and deploy infrastructure components in a way that’s easy to scale and share across an entire organization.

<ASIN:1617298298>

The book is full of flexible automation techniques that work whether you’re managing your personal projects or making live network changes across a large enterprise. A system administrator or infrastructure engineer will learn essential software development practices for managing IaC, while developers will benefit from in-depth coverage of assembling infrastructure as part of DevOps culture. While the patterns and techniques are tool agnostic, the easy-to-follow examples are in Python and Terraform.
