Puppet 8 for DevOps Engineers - Automate your infrastructure at an enterprise scale

David Sandilands

Synopsis

As DevOps and platform engineering drive the demand for robust internal development platforms, the need for infrastructure configuration tools has never been greater. Puppet, a powerful configuration management tool, is widely used by leading enterprises and boasts a thriving open source community.
This book provides a comprehensive explanation of both the Puppet language and the platform. It begins by helping you grasp the basic concepts and approach of Puppet as a stateful language, and then builds up to explaining how to structure Puppet code to scale and allow flexibility and collaboration among teams. As you advance, you’ll find out how the Puppet platform allows the management and reporting of infrastructure configuration. The book also shows you how the platform can be integrated with other tooling, such as ServiceNow and Splunk. The concluding chapters help you implement Puppet to fit in heavily regulated and audited environments as well as modern hybrid cloud environments.
By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a solid understanding of the capabilities of both the Puppet language and platform, and you will have learned how to structure and scale Puppet to create a platform to provide enterprise-grade infrastructure configuration.

Infinity and our Unbounded...

Martin K. Ettington

The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. 
Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. 
It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. 
Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. 
We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. 
This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.

Before Buying Cybersecurity -...

Nikolay Gul

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Before you buy another tool, renew an MSP agreement, or trust another “all green” dashboard, ask one question: can anyone prove this works—in numbers, in writing, and under pressure?

Before Buying Cybersecurity turns cybersecurity purchasing into a practical decision system. It is built for SMB owners, executives, IT leaders, MSPs, and security vendors who want fewer opinions and more verifiable outcomes—without drowning in jargon or framework theater.

For SMBs and internal IT teams, it helps you stop paying for hope. You will know what to demand in scope, what must be measurable in SLAs, how to verify backup and restore reality instead of claims, and how to spot hidden gaps before they become incidents.

For MSPs and security providers, it sharpens discovery, reduces misunderstandings, strengthens alignment on risk, and supports agreements that hold up in real-world incidents because expectations are written, measurable, and testable.

You will get a buyer-side clarity method, a contract-ready checklist, a fast vendor interview script that exposes gaps quickly, practical resilience priorities, Zero Trust explained in plain language, and a simple KPI-style dashboard for leadership reporting.

Foreword by Tush Nikollaj, President and CEO of Logical Net Corporation, adds a provider-side perspective so stronger partnerships can be built on accountability, not marketing.
