Mastering Shell for DevOps
Automate, streamline, and secure DevOps workflows with modern shell scripting
The beauty of shell scripts is that they make it simple and elegant to link up different tools and platforms. If we use shell to its fullest, we can automate, innovate, and take our practices to the next level.

About the Book
"Mastering Shell for DevOps" is all about giving DevOps, cloud, and Linux folks the know-how to automate and make their workflows more efficient with shell scripting. The book uses real-world examples and simple instructions to show how to automate tasks and move away from manual work in a DevOps environment. We start with the basics of shell scripting, so you can learn to write scripts that get the job done. It then moves on to version control with Git and GitHub, showing the importance of collaboration and code management in this context. The book then jumps into infrastructure provisioning and configuration management, showing you how to automate the setup of servers and services using tools like AWS CLI, Docker, and Kubernetes. As your skills grow, you'll learn to set up monitoring and logging tools, automate incident detection and resolution, and manage network traffic and load balancing. The book also helps you learn how to automate security tasks, including user access management, vulnerability scanning, patching, and compliance checks. By the end of the book, you'll have a whole toolkit of shell scripts that will help you work more efficiently, reliably, and securely in your DevOps practices.
