Learn how to use the Go language to automate servers, the cloud, Kubernetes, GitHub, Packer, and Terraform
What is this book about?
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.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Understand the basic structure of the Go language to begin your DevOps journey
- Interact with filesystems to read or stream data
- Communicate with remote services via REST and gRPC
- Explore writing tools that can be used in the DevOps environment
- Develop command-line operational software in Go
- Work with popular frameworks to deploy production software
- Create GitHub actions that streamline your CI/CD process
- Write a ChatOps application with Slack to simplify production visibility

Instructions and Navigations
All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
packer {
required_plugins {
amazon = {
version = ">= 0.0.1"
Following is what you need for this book: This book is for Ops and DevOps engineers who would like to use Go to develop their own DevOps tooling or integrate custom features with DevOps tools such as Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, HashiCorp Packer, and Terraform. Experience with some type of programming language, but not necessarily Go, is necessary to get started with this book.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-16).
