Mastering Ansible 4th Edition - Automate configuration management and overcome deployment challenges with Ansible

James Freeman, Jesse Keating

Summary

Ansible is a modern, YAML-based automation tool (built on top of Python, one of the world’s most popular programming languages) with a massive and ever-growing user base. Its popularity and Python underpinnings make it essential learning for all in the DevOps space.
This fourth edition of Mastering Ansible provides complete coverage of Ansible automation, from the design and architecture of the tool and basic automation with playbooks to writing and debugging your own Python-based extensions.
You'll learn how to build automation workflows with Ansible’s extensive built-in library of collections, modules, and plugins. You'll then look at extending the modules and plugins with Python-based code and even build your own collections — ultimately learning how to give back to the Ansible community.
By the end of this Ansible book, you'll be confident in all aspects of Ansible automation, from the fundamentals of playbook design to getting under the hood and extending and adapting Ansible to solve new automation challenges.

Waldy Myelo & Me - Surviving...

Carol Turner

Prepare to meet Waldy, Dr. Turner’s pet name for Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia.Then, just as it seems like the shock is clearing, his pal, Myelo—Myelodysplastic Syndrome—enters the scene. In the process of fighting them off, we’ll also meet enough doctors and varied care providers to fill a small bus: Dr. Blood Expert, Dr. Know It All, Ms. Smooth-as-Silk Social Worker, Dr. Second Cancer, Dr. Gatekeeper, Dr. Good Ideas, Dr. Italian, Dr. Believer, and more. Some work miracles, while one caused our protagonist to storm out of their office in disgust. Much of what’s in these pages is about self-advocacy. As a doctor herself, Dr. Turner is less intimidated than most by going toe-to-toe with care providers and taking her care into her own hands, whether with doctors, nurses, or administrative personnel. Though she’s a doctor, and her words are medically accurate, her writing is squarely intended for regular people—as are the lessons it conveys.
