Dev Concepts Volume 10: IT Infrastructure
Having a good understanding of where our applications are hosted, how the environment is configured/secured/monitored, etc is super valuable and makes the difference between someone who “just” writes code and someone who contributes to developing end-to-end solutions.
This is the 10th volume of the Dev Concepts collection.
Key features of this volume
A clear introduction to IT Infrastructure and its key elements
Explanations about networking concepts (the OSI model, networks, routing, DNS, and more)
An easy to follow introduction about cloud computing, hosting, and deployments
An overview of what IT administrators care about and do on a daily basis
-
A guide about automation
Content description
Back-end software is conceptually below the front-end in terms of visibility, but IT infrastructure goes way further down, from services, servers, and networks down to cables and electrical signals; phew! ;-)
Having a good understanding of where our applications are hosted, how the environment is configured/secured/monitored, etc is super valuable and makes the difference between someone who “just” writes code and someone who contributes to developing end-to-end solutions. This volume explains some important concepts about IT infrastructure. All DevSecOps engineers (and thus software crafters) should be aware of at least a part of those ideas.
