DevOps Projects is a hands-on, project-driven guide designed to help system administrators and aspiring engineers transition into modern DevOps roles. Instead of focusing only on theory, this book takes you through 90 days of practical projects that mirror real-world DevOps workflows used by high-performing engineering teams.You’ll begin by building strong foundations in Linux, Git, and DevOps principles, then move into Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and configuration management with Ansible. As your journey progresses, you’ll containerize applications using Docker, deploy them to Kubernetes, and integrate cloud-native services and databases. The book emphasizes learning by doing. Each chapter builds on the previous one, guiding you through setting up CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitOps workflows using ArgoCD. You’ll automate builds, testing, deployments, and infrastructure provisioning, creating working artifacts that reflect what DevOps engineers build every day.By the final chapters, you’ll design and deploy a full-stack, production-style application using modern DevOps tooling, bringing together infrastructure automation, containers, orchestration, and continuous delivery.

The Discourse of M: Managing British Intelligence in James Bond Movies
Anna Majer, Piotr Mamet
The Discourse of M różni się od książek, które do tej pory napisano na temat serii filmów o agencie 007. To nie główny bohater – James Bond – jest przedmiotem zainteresowania autorów, lecz M – osoba będąca szefem brytyjskiego wywiadu (MI6) i zwierzchnikiem Bonda. W postać M wciela się trzech aktorów (Bernard Lee, Robert Brown i Ralph Fiennes) i jedna aktorka (Judith Dench), a każda z tych osób stwarza wyjątkową kreację szefa MI6, reprezentując różne style zarządzania, co ma odzwierciedlenie w języku. To właśnie stało się przedmiotem dociekań badaczy – dyskurs M. Książka ma charakter pracy naukowej. Socjolingwistyczną i pragmatyczną analizę materiału badawczego (wypowiedzi M) poprzedza teoretyczna podbudowa dotyczącą dyskursu instytucjonalnego, krytycznej analizy dyskursu, koncepcji władzy i aspektów pragmatycznych – aktów mowy i uprzejmości. Część badawczą rozpoczyna analiza pozycji M jako szefa wywiadu na przestrzeni lat, na podstawie wypowiedzi bohaterów w różnych konfiguracjach – M-Bond, M-zwierzchnicy czy M o sobie. Dalej obserwujemy, jak zmienia się dyskurs M w poszczególnych odcinkach serii. Jako manager, M wydaje rozkazy, dokonuje oceny i dba o zachowanie najwyższych standardów i swych podwładnych. Książka przedstawia, w jaki sposób każdy z czterech M realizuje swoje managerskie zadania, jaka jest specyfika języka każdego z nich i w jaki sposób za pomocą języka realizują oni swoje cele, a tym samym cele MI6.

The Disintegration Machine is a story featuring Doyles famous character Professor Challenger. It was first published in The Strand Magazine in January 1929. The story centers on the discovery of a machine capable of disintegrating objects and reforming them as they were.

Unlike Conan Doyles laid-back, analytic character, Sherlock Holmes, Professor Challenger is an aggressive, dominating figure. The professor is described as a lion of a man with a full beard and a rotund physique. One day, he is interrupted by the young journalist, Malone, to go investigate a machine designed by Latvian inventor, Theodore Nemor.

Lord Evelyn and a group of seven like-minded esthetes make up The Ghosts a cabal of social arbiters, of whom the mere mention is regarded as a faux pas. They are imbued with almost mystical power in setting tastes and trends and behavior for the members of Society in London in 1908. Desperate for stimulation The Ghosts embark on a risky program of wealth redistribution... other peoples wealth. Meanwhile, a spurned aspirant to their club, the American debutante Sophy Van Heldt, seeks revenge against them. Originally published in 1908 as The Ghosts of Society this intriguing novel carries the theme of social boredom, ennui, and sensation craving which entranced late Victorian Europe in the pre-war period.
The Divine Comedy. The Vision of Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise
Dante Alighieri
A unique poetic work, about which historians and critics, philosophers and even adherents of various mystical and esoteric teachings are desperately arguing about. Hell is a colossal funnel of concentric circles, the tapering end of which is adjacent to the center of the earth. Having passed the threshold of hell, in which the souls of indecisive, insignificant people dwell, they enter the first circle of hell the limb. In the earthly paradise, Dante meets Beatrice, seated on a chariot drawn by a vulture.

No doubt Docker Containers are the future of highly-scalable software systems and have cost and runtime efficient supporting infrastructure. But learning it might look complex as it comes with many technicalities. This is where The Docker Workshop will help you.Through this workshop, you’ll quickly learn how to work with containers and Docker with the help of practical activities.? The workshop starts with Docker containers, enabling you to understand how it works. You’ll run third party Docker images and also create your own images using Dockerfiles and multi-stage Dockerfiles. Next, you’ll create environments for Docker images, and expedite your deployment and testing process with Continuous Integration. Moving ahead, you’ll tap into interesting topics and learn how to implement production-ready environments using Docker Swarm. You’ll also apply best practices to secure Docker images and to ensure that production environments are running at maximum capacity. Towards the end, you’ll gather skills to successfully move Docker from development to testing, and then into production. While doing so, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot issues, clear up resource bottlenecks and optimize the performance of services.By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to utilize Docker containers in real-world use cases.
