This book is for anyone who needs to deal with Linux or Unix-like servers. If you’ve ever used the terms systems administration, operations, deployment, configuration management, or (sigh) DevOps, then you should find some value here.
Although I have managed my share of Linux servers, my background is in software engineering. This means that the examples in this book tend toward the deployment end of the spectrum, although I’m in agreement with Andrew Clay Shafer ([webops]) that the distinction between deployment and configuration is unresolved.
