This is one of those cases. The UNIX System Administration Handbook is one of the few books we ever measured ourselves against.” —Tim O’Reilly, founder of O’Reilly Media “This edition is for those whose systems live in the cloud or in virtualized data centers; those whose administrative work largely takes the form of automation and configuration source code; those who collaborate closely with developers, network engineers, compliance officers, and all the other worker bees who inhabit the modern hive.” —Paul Vixie, Internet Hall of Fame-recognized innovator and founder of ISC and Farsight Security “This book is fun and functional as a desktop reference. If you use UNIX and Linux systems, you need this book in your short-reach library. It covers a bit of the systems’ history but doesn’t bloviate. It’s just straight-forward information delivered in a colorful and memorable fashion.” —Jason A. Nunnelley UNIX ® and Linux ® System Administration Handbook, Fifth Edition, is today’s definitive guide to installing, configuring, and maintaining any UNIX or Linux system, including systems that supply core Internet and cloud infrastructure. Updated for new distributions and cloud environments, this comprehensive guide covers best practices for every facet of system administration, including storage management, network design and administration, security, web hosting, automation, configuration management, performance analysis, virtualization, DNS, security, and the management of IT service organizations. The authors—world-class, hands-on technologists—offer indispensable new coverage of cloud platforms, the DevOps philosophy, continuous deployment, containerization, monitoring, and many other essential topics. Whatever your role in running systems and networks built on UNIX or Linux, this conversational, well-written ¿guide will improve your efficiency and help solve your knottiest problems.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780134277554","publication_date":"20170808","publisher":"Pearson Education","slug":"unix-and-linux-system-administration-handbook","subtitle":"5th Edition","title":"UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"COM088010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Linux & UNIX Admin","score":0.8396,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"COM046030","confidence_band":"high","label":"UNIX Systems","score":0.8587,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"COM046070","confidence_band":"high","label":"Linux Systems","score":0.8467,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"COM088010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Linux & UNIX Admin","score":0.8396,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"COM046030","confidence_band":"high","label":"UNIX Systems","score":0.8587,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"COM046070","confidence_band":"high","label":"Linux Systems","score":0.8467,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"COM046030","confidence_band":"high","label":"UNIX Systems","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"COM046070","confidence_band":"high","label":"Linux Systems","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Linux & UNIX Admin","score":0.8396,"slug":"linux-unix-admin"},{"label":"UNIX Systems","score":0.8587,"slug":"unix-systems"},{"label":"Linux Systems","score":0.8467,"slug":"linux-systems"}],"reader_fit":["System administrators working with cloud or virtualized systems"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Brian Ward"],"book_id":"9781718500402","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781718500402.jpg?v=c76f47e1ea38f01a","score":0.7391,"title":"How Linux Works, 3rd Edition","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781718500402"},{"authors":["Michael Hausenblas"],"book_id":"9781098108946","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781098108946.jpg?v=9f9abc4925c5c5fd","score":0.7337,"title":"Learning Modern Linux","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781098108946"},{"authors":["Jerry Peek","Grace Todino","John Strang","& 0 more"],"book_id":"9780596002619","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780596002619.jpg?v=eb9e47ce02daa658","score":0.807,"title":"Learning the Unix Operating System","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780596002619"},{"authors":["Liz Rice"],"book_id":"9781098135126","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781098135126.jpg?v=349eae56a6a2fa6e","score":0.6185,"title":"Learning eBPF","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781098135126"},{"authors":["Joseph Sloan"],"book_id":"9780596005702","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780596005702.jpg?v=8e0280e24ba5c3bd","score":0.6217,"title":"High Performance Linux Clusters With OSCAR, Rocks, Openmosix, and MPI","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780596005702"},{"authors":["Alfred Aho","Brian Kernighan","Peter Weinberger","& 0 more"],"book_id":"9780138269722","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780138269722.jpg?v=f07b49036c6472ab","score":0.6457,"title":"The AWK Programming Language","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780138269722"}],"topics":[],"what_you_get":["Themes: UNIX and Linux system administration, Cloud and virtualized infrastructure, Automation and configuration management.","Reading lane: Linux & Unix Admin and Unix Systems.","Publisher: Pearson Education."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.96,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["System administrators working with cloud or virtualized systems","UNIX/Linux operators seeking installation, configuration, and maintenance guidance"],"themes":["UNIX and Linux system administration","Cloud and virtualized infrastructure","Automation and configuration management"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":736,"goodreads_ratings_count":993,"goodreads_reviews_count":53,"quality_score":0.9199}}
