As someone new to deployment this book was a great read. I learnt a breadth of new techniques (ssh, security (e.g. fail2ban, selinux, permissions), bash commands, dns and configuration of a vps) and i also liked, that the author gave advice on which tools could be helpful (e.g. Ansible).

The book however does not go into detail on these tools (ansible, terraform), its goal is to teach the basics of deploying an app on a linux vps.

Thanks for a nice review. The book is already long as it is, so I only provide some general ideas behind these tools. The path forward might be very different from person to person. Some will want to convert the Bash code to Ansible and some are already running Kubernetes clusters at work :)
