Enterprise DevOps for Architects. Leverage AIOps and DevSecOps for secure digital transformation
Jeroen Mulder
Digital transformation is the new paradigm in enterprises, but the big question remains: is the enterprise ready for transformation using native technology embedded in Agile/DevOps? With this book, you'll see how to design, implement, and integrate DevOps in the enterprise architecture while keeping the Ops team on board and remaining resilient. The focus of the book is not to introduce the hundreds of different tools that are available for implementing DevOps, but instead to show you how to create a successful DevOps architecture.This book provides an architectural overview of DevOps, AIOps, and DevSecOps – the three domains that drive and accelerate digital transformation. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, this DevOps book will help you to successfully integrate DevOps into enterprise architecture. You'll learn what AIOps is and what value it can bring to an enterprise. Lastly, you will learn how to integrate security principles such as zero-trust and industry security frameworks into DevOps with DevSecOps.By the end of this DevOps book, you'll be able to develop robust DevOps architectures, know which toolsets you can use for your DevOps implementation, and have a deeper understanding of next-level DevOps by implementing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).

Ewa Szykulska, Karolina Prewęcka
Ewa Szykulska aktorzyca, artystka, przyjaciółka ludzi i zwierząt, kobieta pełna wahań, przemyśleń i refleksji. Jedna z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych aktorek polskiego kina i teatru. Silnie znacząca swą obecność w świadomości widzów. Essa! Essa! Essa! Nie jestem z cukru, nie obawiam się deszczu. Mam znakomitą parasolkę wyrób krajowy. Kupiłam w Centralnym Domu Towarowym. Przez ciebie się z nami więcej nie umówią! To opowieść nie tylko o sukcesach, rolach i spotkaniach z wybitnymi twórcami, lecz także o prywatnych przeżyciach, chwilach zwątpienia i codzienności, którą rzadko oglądamy zza kulis. Szczera, pełna anegdot i ciepłego humoru, a jednocześnie refleksyjna opowieść, odsłaniająca portret kobiety konsekwentnie idącej własną drogą, wiernej sztuce i sobie samej. To zapis życia, które choć zakorzenione w świecie teatru i filmu wciąż pozostaje bliskie każdemu, kto poszukuje własnej prawdy i sensu. To nie jest spowiedź ani kronika sukcesów. To raczej zbiór wspomnień, emocji, obrazów, słów wykraczających mocno poza kwestie odgrywanych bohaterów i napotkanych ludzi to mętliczek układający się w historię jednego życia. Karolina Prewęcka z subtelnością wprowadza czytelników w wielowątkowy i dygresyjny świat Ewy Szykulskiej, uchylając rąbka jej wrażliwości i ukazując liczne wcielenia. Karolina Prewęcka dziennikarka, autorka książek. Są wśród nich zapisy rozmów z aktorami Stanisławą Celińską i Bohdanem Łazuką, biografia malarki Meli Muter oraz wspomnienia Monique Chmielewskiej-Lehman i Artura B. Chmielewskiego o ich ojcu, Henryku Jerzym Chmielewskim Papciu Chmielu. Absolwentka etnografii, przede wszystkim lubi słuchać ludzi, stara się utrwalać pamięć o ich przeżyciach i przekazywać emocje.

W studenckim pensjonacie przy Hickory Road 26 nic nie idzie tak, jak powinno. Tak przynajmniej sądzi pani Hubbard, siostra sekretarki Herkulesa Poirota. Najpierw giną przypadkowe, zdawałoby się, przedmioty, a później giną zupełnie nieprzypadkowi, jak się okazuje, ludzie. Co za hańba dla domu studenckiego! Na szczęście w pobliżu jest Poirot, a Poirot zna związek między stetoskopem a autostopem. W tle powieści psychoanaliza, komunizowanie i inne nie tak odległe echa lat 50. minionego stulecia.
