SaltyVagrantDevOps from Scratch (Technical Support)
Introducing the technical support for DevOps by working through the development and maintenance of an IT system from initial customer need to production support.
We consider the philosophical, organisational, and technical aspects of DevOps with emphasis on the technical.
Unlike many DevOps books this one is messy. It does not assume a perfect world where managers conveniently comply with your wishes. On the contrary it assumes you will have difficulty implementing DevOps and offers real-world advice on working in less than ideal circumstances.
