In this fully updated second edition, Kief Morris of ThoughtWorks explores the shift from manual hardware configuration to automated, programmable systems. As cloud platforms evolve, the ability to treat infrastructure like software has become a critical skill for DevOps engineers and system administrators.

Morris outlines the core principles of automation, highlighting how to manage the lifecycle of infrastructure using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and CloudFormation. This 2nd edition addresses the complexities of the \"Cloud Age,\" including microservices, serverless computing, and the integration of security into the automated pipeline. It is an essential volume for teams looking to reduce lead times, minimize human error, and achieve consistent environments across development and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWhat You’ll Learn \/ Why Read\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInfrastructure as Code\u003c\/b\u003e teaches you how to apply software engineering practices—such as version control, testing, and continuous integration—to your physical and virtual servers. You will learn the difference between \"mutable\" and \"immutable\" infrastructure and how to design \"idempotent\" scripts that ensure predictable deployments. The book highlights patterns for managing configuration drift and strategies for scaling infrastructure without increasing operational complexity. By reading this guide, you can master the tools and mindsets required to build high-performing, resilient cloud systems that can adapt to rapid business changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eAuthor Bio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKief Morris\u003c\/b\u003e is a Principal Cloud Technologist at ThoughtWorks, where he has spent years helping organizations adopt cloud and infrastructure automation.
