Book Description:

With so many IT management and DevOps tools on the market, both open source and commercial, it's difficult to know where to start. DevOps is incredibly powerful when implemented correctly, and here's how to get it done.This Learning Path covers three broad areas: Puppet, Docker, and Kubernetes. This Learning Path is a large resource of recipes to ease your daily DevOps tasks. We begin with recipes that help you develop a complete and expert understanding of Puppet's latest and most advanced features. Then we provide recipes that help you efficiently work with the Docker environment. Finally, we show you how to better manage containers in different scenarios in production using Kubernetes.

This course is based on these books:

1. Puppet Cookbook, Third Edition

2. Docker Cookbook

3. Kubernetes Cookbook

What You Will Learn:

• Discover how to build high availability Kubernetes clusters
• Deal with inherent issues with container virtualization and container concepts
• Create services with Docker to enable the swift development and deployment of applications
• Make optimum use of Docker in a testing environment
• Create efficient manifests to streamline your deployments
• Automate Puppet master deployment using Git hooks, r10k, and PuppetDB

Who this book is for:

This Learning Path is for developers, system administrators, and DevOps engineers who want to use Puppet, Docker, and Kubernetes in their development, QA, or production environments. This Learning Path assumes experience with Linux administration and requires some experience with command-line usage and basic text file editing.

Thomas Uphill has been working with Unix and Linux since the 90s. He primarily works on Linux and has an RHCA from RedHat. He's written several books on Puppet and routinely presents on Linux and Puppet at conferences such as Puppet Conf and LISA. He enjoys writing code in Ruby and Python. When not working, he blogs at ramblings.narrabilis.com and @uphillian on Twitter and IRC.

John Arundel is a devops consultant, which means he solves difficult problems for a living. (He doesn't get called in for easy problems.) He has worked in the tech industry for 20 years, and during that time has done wrong (or seen done wrong) almost everything that you can do wrong with computers. That comprehensive knowledge of what not to do, he feels, is one of his greatest assets as a consultant. He is still adding to it. He likes writing books, especially about Puppet (The Puppet 3 Beginner's Guide is available from the same publisher). It seems that at least some people enjoy reading them. He also provides training and coaching on Puppet, which it turns out is far harder than simply doing the work himself. Off the clock, he can usually be found driving a Land Rover up some mountain or other. He lives in a small cottage in Cornwall and believes, like Cicero, that if you have a garden and a library, then you have everything you need. You can follow him on Twitter at @bitfield.

In 2015 he authored a book on Docker, Docker Cookbook. In 2016 he co-authored a course on Cloud Infrastructure Technologies at Edx for Linux Foundation. Recently he authored a course on Kubernetes on Edx, for the Linux Foundation.
