The DevOps Playbook by Melvin Gonzalez

The DevOps Playbook is a practical guide designed for anyone who wants to learn DevOps but doesn’t know where to start or in what order to learn the many technologies involved.

Through a clear and structured learning path, you’ll build a solid foundation in the skills that matter most in DevOps, including Linux, Networking, Git, Scripting, Cloud Computing, Azure, AWS, GCP, Docker, CI/CD, Terraform, Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, Observability, Security, and Troubleshooting.

Rather than teaching tools and commands in isolation, The DevOps Playbook helps you understand how everything connects in real-world environments — from a developer committing code to building, deploying, monitoring, securing, and maintaining applications in production.

You’ll also find hands-on exercises, labs, troubleshooting scenarios, portfolio projects, and a structured 6-month roadmap to help you organize your learning and make consistent progress.

No previous DevOps experience is required. The Playbook starts with the fundamentals and progressively introduces more advanced concepts.

Created by Melvin Gonzalez, Lead Azure DevOps Engineer, The DevOps Playbook combines technical knowledge, a clear learning path, and a practical perspective on the skills you need to start building your career in DevOps.

Learn the fundamentals. Build. Break things. Troubleshoot. Automate. Keep learning.
