Practice of Cloud System Administration The DevOps and SRE Practices for Web Services Volume 2

“There’s an incredible amount of depth and thinking in the practices described here, and it’s impressive to see it all in one place.”� -Win Treese, coauthor of Designing Systems for Internet Commerce The Practice of Cloud System Administration, Volume 2, focuses on “distributed”� or “cloud”� computing and brings a Dev Ops/SRE sensibility to the practice of system administration.
