Infrastructure as Code: Dynamic Systems for the Cloud Age

If your planning to be terraforming your cloud infrastructure this is a second must have right after terraform up and running

Really good advise for running infrastructure and applications. It contains good patterns to follow, anti patterns to avoid and the spirit behind most suggestions

I have O’REILLY membership so I have access to this book. Wow. Tons of good explanations and suggestions! A must read and rare find for this category! I learned a ton of stuff while working (struggling) with AWS CDK and cloud formation. Almost like a life saver. Highly recommend.

there is no code for the exercise !

The books delivered does not look new in any sense. It’s obvious it’s a copy used and returned by some user. When we pay for new book the expectation is we would receive unused copies.

This book is full of great information about how to manage your IaC code. It gives the reader many patterns and anti-patterns to follow that are specifically geared towards IaC code.I agree with the other reviews which claim that these patterns come from software engineering best practices, but the way that the author applies them to IaC is worth reading about.I think that readers who were exposed to a modern CICD pipeline and IaC tools (like Terraform) will benefit more from reading this book. This book doesn't teach how to use these tools and after reading it, if you never worked with such tools you probably won't be able to use one. However, if you read this book and then learn how to use a tool like Terraform or Pulumi, it will make so much more sense why things are done in certain ways.While this book is awesome (see above), it tries a little too hard to remain ageless and not focus on any specific tool. The book is missing end-to-end examples that the reader can run to solidify the concepts. I think that the author could have added a code repository with examples to accompany the book.
