Deploying Docker into production is considered to be one of the major pain points in developing large-scale infrastructures, and the documentation available online leaves a lot to be desired. With this book, you will learn everything you wanted to know to effectively scale your deployments globally and build a resilient, scalable, and containerized cloud platform for your own use.The book starts by introducing you to the containerization ecosystem with some concrete and easy-to-digest examples; after that, you will delve into examples of launching multiple instances of the same container. From there, you will cover orchestration, multi-node setups, volumes, and almost every relevant component of this new approach to deploying services. Using intertwined approaches, the book will cover battle-tested tooling, or issues likely to be encountered in real-world scenarios, in detail. You will also learn about the other supporting components required for a true PaaS deployment and discover common options to tie the whole infrastructure together.At the end of the book, you learn to build a small, but functional, PaaS (to appreciate the power of the containerized service approach) and continue to explore real-world approaches to implementing even larger global-scale services.

Frustrated by opaque agent frameworks that hide how things work? This book gives you complete control by guiding you through building a fully functional, extensible agentic AI framework in Python without relying on external orchestration tools.You’ll begin by implementing a simple tool-using agent, and then gradually extend its capabilities with structured tool schemas, user interfaces, and memory via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). From there, you’ll build collaborative multi-agent systems powered by Agent-to-Agent (A2A) messaging and deploy them in realistic environments. Along the way, you’ll explore secure tool invocation, message routing, observability, and human-in-the-loop workflows.With annotated code, deep engineering insights, and practical deployment patterns, this hands-on guide equips you to build AI agents that reason, plan, act, and adapt, whether you’re shipping production systems or experimenting with cutting-edge LLM-based architectures.Written by Gigi Sayfan, who builds AI agent infrastructure at Perplexity and is a bestselling author with decades of experience in AI and distributed systems, this book gives you the tools and knowledge to engineer your own advanced agentic systems.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

Firewalls are used to protect your network from the outside world. Using a Linux firewall, you can do a lot more than just filtering packets. This book shows you how to implement Linux firewalls and Quality of Service using practical examples from very small to very large networks.After giving us a background of network security, the book moves on to explain the basic technologies we will work with, namely netfilter, iproute2, NAT and l7-filter. These form the crux of building Linux firewalls and QOS. The later part of the book covers 5 real-world networks for which we design the security policies, build the firewall, setup the script, and verify our installation.Providing only necessary theoretical background, the book takes a practical approach, presenting case studies and plenty of illustrative examples.
