DevOps in Python: infrastructure as Python: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "DevOps in Python: infrastructure as Python" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Installing Python -- Packaging -- Interactive usage -- OS automation -- Testing -- Text manipulation -- Requests -- Cryptography -- Paramiko -- Salt stack -- Ansible -- Docker -- Amazon web services.;Explore and apply best practices for efficient application deployment. This book draws upon author Moshe Zadkas years of Dev Ops experience and focuses on the parts of Python, and the Python ecosystem, that are relevant for DevOps engineers. Youll start by writing command-line scripts and automating simple DevOps-style tasks. Youll then move on to more advanced cases, like using Jupyter as an auditable remote-control panel, and writing Ansible and Salt extensions. This work also covers how to use the AWS API to manage cloud infrastructure, and how to manage Python programs and environments on remote machines. Python was invented as a systems management language for distributed operating systems, which makes it an ideal tool for DevOps. Assuming a basic understanding of Python concepts, this book is perfect for engineers who want to move from operations/system administration into coding.

To A and N, my favorite two projects even when they need immediate maintenance at 4 a.m.

Introduction

Python was started as a language to automate an operating system: the Amoeba. Since it had an API, not just textual files representations, a typical UNIX shell would be ill suited. The Amoeba OS is now a relic. However, Python continues to be a useful tool for automation of operations the heart of typical DevOps work. It is easy to learn and easy to write readable code in a necessity, when a critical part of the work is responding to a 4 a.m. alert, and modifying some misbehaving program. It has powerful bindings to C and C++, the universal languages of operating systems and yet is natively memory safe, leading to few crashes at the automation layer.

Finally, although not true when it was originally created, Python is one of the most popular languages. This means that it is relatively easy to hire people with Python experience, and easy to get training materials and courses for people who need to learn on the job.

This book will guide you through how to take advantage of Python to automate operations.

What to Expect in the Book

There are many sources that teach Python, the language: books, tutorials, and even free videos online. Basic familiarity with the language will be assumed here. However, for the typical SRE/DevOps person, there are a lot of aspects of Python that few sources cover, except for primary documentation and various blogs. We cover those early on in the book.

The first step in using Python is not writing a hello world program. The first step is installing it. There, already, we are faced with various choices, with various trade-offs between them. We will cover using the preinstalled version of Python, using ready-made, third-party prebuilt packages, installing Python from sources, and other alternatives. One of Pythons primary strengths, which any program slightly longer than hello world will take advantage of, is its rich third-party library ecosystem. We will cover how to use these packages, how to develop a workflow around using specific versions of packages and when to upgrade, and what tools are used to manage that. We will also cover packaging our own code, whether for open source distribution or for internal dissemination.

Finally, Python was built for exploration. Coming from the Lisp tradition of the REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop), using Python interactively is a primary way to explore the language, the libraries, and even the world around us. Whether the world is made of planets and atoms, or virtual machines and containers, the same tools can be used to explore it. Being a DevOps-oriented book, we cover it more from the perspective of exploring a world of virtual machines, services, and containers.

1. Installing Python

Belmont, CA, USA

Before we start using Python, we need to install it. Some operating systems, like Mac OS X and some Linux variants, have Python preinstalled. Those versions of Python, colloquially called system Python, often make poor defaults for people who want to develop in Python.
