The Advanced Ubuntu Server Guide: Master Automation, Containers, Virtualization, Cloud Deployment, and Production Infrastructure

By Eric J. Klat

Modern infrastructure extends far beyond manually configuring individual servers. Today's Linux professionals need to understand automation, containers, virtualization, orchestration, cloud platforms, infrastructure as code, and scalable production environments.

The Advanced Ubuntu Server Guide builds on the core administration skills developed in the first volume and takes readers into the technologies and practices used to operate modern Ubuntu-based infrastructure at scale.

The book explores configuration automation with Ansible, application isolation with containers, virtualization, Kubernetes orchestration, cloud-based Ubuntu deployments, infrastructure as code with Terraform, and the operational practices required to manage reliable production environments.

Throughout the book, the emphasis remains on practical implementation, repeatability, security, scalability, and efficient infrastructure management.

Inside the Book, You'll Learn How to: Automate server configuration and administration with AnsibleDesign and manage virtualized Linux environmentsDeploy and manage applications using containersUnderstand container networking, storage, and lifecycle managementBuild foundations for Kubernetes-based infrastructureDeploy Ubuntu Server workloads in cloud environmentsAutomate infrastructure provisioning with TerraformDesign repeatable and scalable deployment workflowsApply security and operational best practices to production systemsManage, troubleshoot, and scale modern infrastructure environments

This book is designed for system administrators, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, cloud professionals, developers, and experienced Linux users who want to move beyond traditional server administration.

By the end, you will have a practical understanding of how Ubuntu Server fits into modern automated, containerized, virtualized, and cloud-based infrastructure and how to apply these technologies to build scalable and production-ready environments.
