With 28 new chapters, the third edition of The Practice of System and Network Administration innovates yet again! Revised with thousands of updates and clarifications based on reader feedback, this new edition also incorporates DevOps strategies even for non-DevOps environments.
Whether you use Linux, Unix, or Windows, this new edition describes the essential practices previously handed down only from mentor to prot?g?. This wonderfully lucid, often funny cornucopia of information introduces beginners to advanced frameworks valuable for their entire career, yet is structured to help even experts through difficult projects.
Fully updated for the latest administration challenges, including BYOD and new approaches to security. In the new Third Edition, this guide is split into two volumes; the companion Volume 2 will focus on new DevOps and cloud computing administration techniques.
