Who this book is for

This book is for three major audiences. First, systems administrators who work with either Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X. This covers those who work on bare-metal machines, virtual infrastructure, or cloud-based environments. Then, network administrators, those who work on distributed proprietary network equipment. Finally, DevOps. This book offers a good understanding of how the system they are going to deploy their application in will behave, enabling them to code accordingly or suggest modifications that can benefit their applications.
