I would like to thank my wife, Maria, for her support. She was the very first reviewer of this book, always cheering me up, and taking care of our baby to give me time and space for writing. I also give deep thanks and gratitude to the Zooplus company, where I could first experiment with the Continuous Delivery approach and especially, to its former employee Robert Stern for showing me the world of Docker. I would also like to make a special mention of Patroklos Papapetrou for his trust and help in organizing Continuous Delivery workshops in Greece. Last but not the least, thanks to my mom, dad, and brother for being so supportive.

Preface
I've observed software delivery processes for years. I wrote this book because I know how many people still struggle with releases and get frustrated after spending days and nights on getting their products into production. This all happens even though a lot of automation tools and processes have been developed throughout the years. After I saw for the first time how simple and effective the Continuous Delivery process was, I would never come back to the tedious traditional manual delivery cycle. This book is a result of my experience and a number of Continuous Delivery workshops I conducted. I share the modern approach using Jenkins, Docker, and Ansible; however, this book is more than just the tools. It presents the idea and the reasoning behind Continuous Delivery, and what's most important, my main message to everyone I meet: Continuous Delivery process is simple, use it!
