“Kent is without peer in the technical community. He blends the rare gifts of being able to dive extremely deep into the technology, but then adjust his messaging appropriately when presenting to the line of business. He has a tireless work ethic and a never quit attitude that not only lends confidence to his team but also inspires those around him to work harder and do more than they think possible. I had the great fortune to work as Kent's business development executive and was so impressed with his work that we stayed a team at IBM through three job role changes. (That is unprecedented at IBM and candidly if I had my wish our tandem would still be together!) I am 100% confident and will stake my reputation that Kent will continue to evolve and succeed bringing his energy and unique dynamics to any organization he joins next. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more information - I owe my success to Kent and thus I have many battle stories of success to tell any interested parties.”

When adopting cloud infrastructure, you are often looking to modernize the automation of workflows such as continuous integration and software delivery. Minimizing operational overhead via fully managed solutions such as Cloud Build can be tough. Moreover, learning Cloud Build's API and build schema, scalability, security, and integrating Cloud Build with other external systems can be challenging. This book helps you to overcome these challenges by cementing a Google Cloud Build foundation.
The book starts with an introduction to Google Cloud Build and explains how it brings value via automation. You will then configure the architecture and environment in which builds run while learning how to execute these builds. Next, you will focus on writing and configuring fully featured builds and executing them securely. You will also review Cloud Build's functionality with practical applications and set up a secure delivery pipeline for GKE. Moving ahead, you will learn how to manage safe roll outs of cloud infrastructure with Terraform. Later, you will build a workflow from local source to production in Cloud Run. Finally, you will integrate Cloud Build with external systems while leveraging Cloud Deploy to manage roll outs.
By the end of this book, you'll be able to automate workflows securely by leveraging the principles of Google Cloud Build.Other authors -

Amazon Web Services (AWS) rolled out v1.0 of cost data export compliant with FinOps Foundation FOCUS specifications. zOpt.ai is a contributor to #FinOps #FOCUS specifications and I am glad to see the progress and adoption of the standard specifications by all the major cloud providers. This is a major step in understanding cloud spend across cloud providers in uniform manner.
