The DevOps Solutions Handbook

A Structured 90-Day Path into DevOps 💻

Starting a DevOps career often means facing a scattered list of tools with no clear sequence. The DevOps Solutions Handbook changes that by offering a focused, project-based journey through automation, cloud, and CI/CD. Michael Cade draws on his 90DaysOfDevOps learning framework to turn essential infrastructure skills into practical, hands-on experience.

From Linux and Git to Containers and Pipelines

The book builds outward from the foundations you’ll actually use every day: Linux, version control, and core scripting. Then it moves through infrastructure configuration, containers, cloud platforms, and the coding practices that make pipelines reliable. Rather than presenting technologies in isolation, it shows how they work together to ship and run software.

Hands-On Projects That Build Real Muscle Memory

Each phase includes exercises and rebuilds that reinforce the concepts. You won’t just read about Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, or CI/CD—you’ll work through realistic scenarios, break things, and fix them. This is a book designed for terminal time, not passive reading.

Who This Book Is For

Newcomers and career changers will find a clear starting point, while experienced engineers can use it to close knowledge gaps and strengthen the mental models behind production debugging. The foreword from Snyk CTO Danny Allan highlights how the book respects the reader’s time at every level.

Whether you’re preparing for a DevOps role or strengthening your cloud-native foundation, this handbook offers a practical, hands-on route through the technologies that keep modern systems running.
