Automating DevOps with GitLab CI/CD Pipelines: Build efficient CI/CD pipelines to verify, secure, and deploy your code using real-life examples Paperback – Big Book, 24 February 2023

New learning, need GitLab and GitHub books.Got both

This reads like a gitlab tutorial. I gave it 3 starts only because it was just how I expected it to be, but if I had expected some in depths explanation and discussion on why things are done in a certain way and not another, I would be disappointed and probably give it 2 stars.I bought this because I wanted a book on devops and also wanted to learn gitlab so I thought it was a good compromise - in the end I did learn how gitlab ci/cd pipelines works and devops principles which is what I wanted, but buy it only if (like me) you like to read and own books in print and like to have a coherent text explaining something, because I suspect there is nothing in here you wouldn't find online, and the discussion isn't very deep.

I just finished reading this book, I really enjoyed it! All of the information is available in gitlabs docs and Blogs, but I prefer reading a book. The authors did a great job organizing and presenting a unified story. The first chapter or so feels like a gitlab sales pitch, but I had to remind myself that I choose this book because it I was focused on gitlab. If you feel the same keep reading! I learned about gitlab features and capabilities I didn't know existed. I have written a few ci pipelines for some small python projects in gitlab but after reading this book I have a lot of things to update and add.
