What do the experts say about the ebook?

  • Jan Tymiński’s cookbook focuses on the practical side of building those pipelines. It shows how to move from “we have infrastructure code” to “we have a repeatable and controlled way to deliver infrastructure changes.”

    This moves IaC to the next level, where not only automation, but also process matters. Without a good pipeline, even well-written IaC can become risky, inconsistent, or difficult to maintain.

    Whether you are just starting with Infrastructure as Code or already improving your existing workflows, this cookbook gives you useful patterns and practical guidance.

  • One of the book's biggest strengths is its simplicity – even more complex topics are presented in an easy-to-digest way. The reader is guided step by step through the concepts of IaC and CI/CD processes, allowing them to quickly build a solid foundation.

    It is a great choice both for IT managers and technical professionals who want to quickly understand the fundamentals of modern approaches to infrastructure and deployment.

  • The e-book is well-structured, guiding the reader from the fundamentals and best practices to more advanced topics and, ultimately, a practical implementation example.

    One of its biggest strengths is that it goes beyond being just a dry overview of tools — it also covers many aspects that truly matter in day-to-day work with teams and infrastructure, such as security, compliance, governance, approval flows, modularity, state management, reusable workflows, rollbacks, and more.

    In my opinion, it is a valuable resource primarily for technical managers and professionals responsible for IT and engineering areas.
