Welcome!
This is the first edition of my newsletter! Yes, I had to be yet another person launching a newsletter in 2020 — but hold on! This one is different.
I just changed industry; from the blockchain space to DevOps. Thus, I have LOTs and lots to learn. So I decided to make my learning public. Yes, you read correctly, you can see some of my weekly notes right here.
Additionally, I provide a curated version of the resources that I come across in this weekly newsletter. So if you want to get started learning about DevOps and/or stay up-to-date with the resources out there, then you are definitely at the right place.

Books
My goal of this section is to share open-source books, free e-books as well as summaries of books that I have gone through. The latter might be the case once a month. So here it goes:
The first category are e-books
- If you want to get started with Helm, I highly recommend the following e-book: https://codefresh.io/helm-best-practices-guide/
It provides a nice overview from what Helm is, why you would use it over another templating tool, to the difference between Helm 2 and 3 and how to get started - The second one is a an e-book on the 13 key features that every CI/CD platform should have https://codefresh.io/events/indy-devops-meetup/
- Third, if you want to get started learning about Kubernetes, this guide provides a solid foundation
https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-kubernetes-handbook/
Paid-Books — will create a summary within the month
- Continuous Delivery
Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation by Jez Humble and David Farley
