DevOps can help developers, QAs, and admins work together to solve Linux server problems far more rapidly, significantly improving IT performance, availability, and efficiency. To gain these benefits, however, team members need common troubleshooting skills and practices.

 

In DevOps Troubleshooting: Linux Server Best Practices , award-winning Linux expert Kyle Rankin brings together all the standardized, repeatable techniques your team needs to stop finger-pointing, collaborate effectively, and quickly solve virtually any Linux server problem. Rankin walks you through using DevOps techniques to troubleshoot everything from boot failures and corrupt disks to lost email and downed websites. You&;ll master indispensable skills for diagnosing high-load systems and network problems in production environments.

• Master DevOps&; approach to troubleshooting and proven Linux server problem-solving principles
• Diagnose slow servers and applications by identifying CPU, RAM, and Disk I/O bottlenecks
