Overview of this book

Go is the go-to language for DevOps libraries and services, and without it, achieving fast and safe automation is a challenge. With the help of Go for DevOps, you'll learn how to deliver services with ease and safety, becoming a better DevOps engineer in the process. Some of the key things this book will teach you are how to write Go software to automate configuration management, update remote machines, author custom automation in GitHub Actions, and interact with Kubernetes. As you advance through the chapters, you'll explore how to automate the cloud using software development kits (SDKs), extend HashiCorp's Terraform and Packer using Go, develop your own DevOps services with gRPC and REST, design system agents, and build robust workflow systems. By the end of this Go for DevOps book, you'll understand how to apply development principles to automate operations and provide operational insights using Go, which will allow you to react quickly to resolve system failures before your customers realize something has gone wrong.

ChatOps provides teams with a central interface to tooling to ask questions about current states and to interact with other DevOps tools while recording those interactions for posterity. This can improve feedback loops and real-time communication between teams and help manage incidents effectively.

One of our colleagues, Sarah Murphy, has a saying – Don't talk to the bus driver. As a release engineer for Facebook in the early days, she was responsible for releasing Facebook across their data centers. This was a high-stress and detail-oriented job that required her complete attention. Many of the engineers wanted to know if their feature or patch was being included...
