DevOps is the methodology revolutionizing modern software delivery, merging development and operations through culture, automation, measurement, and sharing (CAMS) to achieve rapid, high-quality releases. This guide is your complete career launchpad, designed not just to teach you the technical pipeline but to ensure you excel in securing top DevOps engineer roles.

This book builds your expertise, starting with foundational DevOps principles and the full DevOps toolchain. You will master Git/SVN and secure CI/CD pipelines with automated testing.
