Beschreibung

The Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach ensures consistent and repeatable deployment of cloud-based IaaS/PaaS services, saving you time while delivering impeccable results. Infrastructure as Code for Beginners is a practical implementation guide that helps you gain a clear understanding of the foundations of Infrastructure as Code and make informed decisions when implementing it.
With this book, you’ll uncover essential IaC concepts, including planning, selecting, and implementing the right tools for your project. With step-by-step explanations and real-world examples, you'll gain a solid understanding of the benefits of IaC and the scope of application in your projects. You'll learn about the pros, cons, and best practices of different IaC tools such as Terraform and Ansible, and their use at different stages of the deployment process along with GitHub Actions. Using these tools, you'll be able to design, deploy, and secure your infrastructure on two major cloud platforms, Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. In addition, you'll explore other IaC tools such as Pulumi, AWS CloudFormation, and Azure Bicep.
By the end of this book, you’ll be well equipped to approach your IaC projects confidently.

Our Western spring - Where is...

Nir Shvalb

"Progress is not just electronics and robots; it’s also adaptation and correction of social structures in light of these technological advances," Shvalb asserts, warning that "the old democracy won't survive if we don’t adjust it to the new era." 
After reviewing the social phenomena leading societies to dangerous places, he points out, "History teaches us that civilizations tend to fade, and when they do, it can happen very suddenly." He then explores the influence of social networks on public discourse, noting that "fake news spreads six times faster than truthful news." As a scientist in the field of hard sciences, he examines the dangers of advancing technology, particularly the role of AI in societal unrest. Shvalb questions, "Can technological mega-giants know us intimately enough to control our choices?" 
Life as we knew it no longer exists. The benefits technology has given us come with a heavy price. In a world where social interactions are shaped by powerful platforms guiding the way we think, behave, buy, and choose, there is a real risk to our societies that we must consider. The last part of the book is dedicated to practical solutions and suggestions. Yet, despite its serious themes, "Our Western Spring: Where is Political Divide Leading Us?" is engaging and fun to read. If you're curious about who suffered from scrotal ascites, what is considered the worst film of all time, or why China's government hates Winnie-the-Pooh, this book is for you. This blend of intriguing trivia and insightful analysis makes the book both thought-provoking and enjoyable, offering readers a captivating journey through the complexities of modern society.

Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Dr. Dominic...

25% of the royalties of this book will be donated to Dr. Seyfrieds research (See KetoforCancer.net)! This research will actually make a real impact, as it studies the real causes and treatment opportunities of cancer.
This book is an overview of Dr. Thomas Seyfrieds scientific work, regarding that Cancer is a metabolic disease. It comprisesTranscripts of his talks and interviews that summarize all his most important points, as well asA Presentation by his collegue Dr. Dominic D'Agostiono about the "Press Pulse Strategy" andA possible way of eating, that would prevent cancer from the get go: The RockSolid Diet (by J.Rockermeier)
Here the description of his scientific work:
"Cancer as a metabolic disease" addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited.This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention.
Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate.
This book comprises the opinion of Dr. Thomas Seyfried regarding the metabolic nature of cancer. He states, that it is not genetic, but a mitochondrial disease.
This book is NOT a summary of his original, scientific book. It's rather a collection of video transcripts, that summarize his point. With official permission, because we donate 25% of the royalties directly to his research!

The AI Engineering Bootcamp -...

Greg Loughnane, Chris Alexiuk

In The AI Engineering Bootcamp: Build, Ship, Share, AI Makerspace cofounders "Dr. Greg" Loughnane and Chris "The Wiz" Alexiuk guide the listener through the foundational concepts and code needed to build production-grade Large Language Model (LLM) applications using leading open-source tooling. The book explains the four primary design patterns of generative AI―prompt engineering, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), fine-tuning, and agentic reasoning―and how to leverage them as first principles to build scalable LLM applications that are high-performance and efficient. 
You'll find classroom-tested lessons that offer immediate insights into building LLM applications, as well as example projects to give you hands-on experience that can be immediately applied within our company or with your clients today. The AI Engineering Bootcamp provides everything you need, from your initial AI-assisted Interactive Development Environment (IDE) set up and first deployment to the boilerplate Python code you need to prototype LLM, RAG, agent, and multi-agent applications. The book also covers how to prepare your prototypes for production by setting up open-source LLM and embedding model endpoints, leveraging caching for prompts and embeddings, what you need to host and deploy your application on premise, and more.
