Overview
If you’re a software engineer, developer, or sys admin who needs to get up to speed with DevOps quickly, this book covers the basics you need to thrive in a modern application stack.
This book’s fast-paced, hands-on examples will provide the foundation you need to start performing common DevOps tasks.

You’ll dig into how to detect a system’s state and alert on it when things go sideways.
You’ll learn how to:
•Create and provision an Ubuntu VM with Vagrant and Ansible •Manage users, groups, and password security •Set up public key and two-factor authentication over SSH •Automate and test a host-based firewall •Use Docker to containerize applications and Kubernetes for orchestration •Build a monitoring stack and troubleshoot problems and performance issues
DevOps for the Desperate is a practical, no-nonsense guide to get you up and running quickly in today’s full-stack infrastructure.
