Great book! This is a must read for network engineers who want to learn more about bringing devops initiatives to the network. It's a great starting point to understand some concepts used by software development teams like source control management systems, A/B deployments, continuous delivery pipelines, unit testing among others and shows how it's possible to use them within a network team.It gives a good overview of tools that are becoming more relevant for the network teams like Ansible, Git, artifactory, Jenkins, Docker etc and gives examples of how and where to use them.

Are you interested in DevOps? and how it relates to important decisions that infrastructure teams need to make in order to deliver applications and infrastructure faster? Well, I think this is a great book to dive into it. I enjoyed this book because it's a mix of deep dive details around networking, security, configuration with a mix of a good introduction to DevOps and why it matters. I would recommend this book to any developer or infrastructure person who is looking into DevOps and with that also network components and area. From a technical standpoint, as said, the book is a good mix but would rate this book to a 300 level (100 is not technical, 500 is super technical) for the audience.Have a look, I'm sure you get out a lot of insights and helpful information and guideline on how to realize DevOps for your company or even projects.

I am glad I bought this book at a VERY LARGE discount, if not I'd have given it one star.This book provides little to no practical value for DevOps with regards to development or operations of any network. It's almost a non-stop sales sheet to say "And there's this tool and that tool and that tool". It delivers no message, it introduces no practical value and looks like a "Someone asked me to write a book on DevOps for networking and I didn't know where to start, so I just filled pages to meet my quotas."I am highly disappointed and would not recommend this book... ever... to anyone. I hate writing negative reviews as I believe if you have nothing nice to say... but I mean this book was such an utter disappointment I'm almost traumatized.
