Legislation is now in place that demands high standards of effluent treatment and waste disposal, both industrial and domestic. This book provides plant managers, operators and consultants with a practical guide to the equipment and techniques available for improving the standard of effluent discharges from factories and treatment plants, to comply with the tougher discharge limits that the regulatory bodies now require. The book reviews both established and new techniques and shows how to maximise their potential by providing a wide range of options. Success the first time around is emphasized. The text concentrates on minimising waste and maximising savings, including recycling. Practicality and simplicity of approach are stressed, with a range of case studies to demonstrate their approach. The book has been updated to include a review of developments since the first edition was published and features a new chapter on cesspools, septic tanks and small treatment plants.

Kubernetes is the operating system of the cloud-native world, providing a reliable and scalable platform for running containerized workloads. This book shows developers and operations staff how to apply industry-standard DevOps practices to Kubernetes in a cloud-native context. You'll learn all about the Kubernetes ecosystem and discover battle-tested solutions to everyday problems. In this friendly, pragmatic book, cloud experts John Arundel and Justin Domingus show you what Kubernetes can do-and what you can do with it. You'll build, step by step, an example cloud-native application and its supporting infrastructure, along with a development environment and continuous deployment pipeline that you can use for your own applications. Understand containers and Kubernetes from first principles-no experience necessary Run your own clusters or choose a managed Kubernetes service from Amazon, Google, and others Design your own cloud-native services and infrastructure Use Kubernetes to manage resource usage and the container lifecycle Optimize clusters for cost, performance, resilience, capacity, and scalability Learn the best tools for developing, testing, and deploying your applications Apply the latest industry practices for observability and monitoring Secure your containers and clusters in production Adopt DevOps principles to help make your development teams lean, fast, and effective

An essential book if you have responsibility for servers. Real-world examples and code will give you Puppet expertise, allowing more control over servers, cloud computing, and desktops. A time-saving, career-enhancing tutorialKey FeaturesUse Puppet 3 to take control of your servers and desktops, with detailed step-by-step instructionsCovers all the popular tools and frameworks used with Puppet: Dashboard, Foreman, and moreTeaches you how to extend Puppet with custom functions, types, and providersPacked with tips and inspiring ideas for using Puppet to automate server builds, deployments, and workflows Book DescriptionA revolution is happening in web operations. Configuration management tools can build servers in seconds, and automate your entire network. Tools like Puppet are essential to taking full advantage of the power of cloud computing, and building reliable, scalable, secure, high-performance systems. More and more systems administration and IT jobs require some knowledge of configuration management, and specifically Puppet."Puppet 3 Cookbook" takes you beyond the basics to explore the full power of Puppet, showing you in detail how to tackle a variety of real-world problems and applications. At every step it shows you exactly what commands you need to type, and includes full code samples for every recipe.The book takes the reader from a basic knowledge of Puppet to a complete and expert understanding of Puppet's latest and most advanced features, community best practices, writing great manifests, scaling and performance, and extending Puppet by adding your own providers and resources. It starts with guidance on how to set up and expand your Puppet infrastructure, then progresses through detailed information on the language and features, external tools, reporting, monitoring, and troubleshooting, and concludes with many specific recipes for managing popular applications.The book includes real examples from production systems and techniques that are in use in some of the world's largest Puppet installations, including a distributed Puppet architecture based on the Git version control system. You'll be introduced to powerful tools that work with Puppet such as Hiera. The book also explains managing Ruby applications and MySQL databases, building web servers, load balancers, high-availability systems with Heartbeat, and many other state-of-the-art techniquesWhat you will learnInstalling and setting up Puppet for the first timeProducing eye-catching reports and information for managementUnderstanding common error messages and troubleshooting common problemsManaging large networksTaking control of configuration data with Hiera and encrypting secrets with GnuPGProducing reliable, clean, maintainable code to community standards with puppet-lint and rspec-puppetUsing classes and inheritance to write powerful Puppet codeDeploying configuration files and templates for lightning-fast installationsUsing virtual machines to build test and staging environments, and production systems on cloud platforms such as EC2Automating every aspect of your systems including provisioning, deployment and change managementMaking Puppet reliable, performant, and scalableWho this book is for"Puppet 3 Cookbook" is for anyone who builds and administers servers, especially in a web operations context. It requires some experience of Linux systems administration, including familiarity with the command line, file system, and text editing. No programming experience is required.
