This is really cool! Thanks for posting this. I wonder if Jeff is on Fediverse so I could thank him personally - I have no Twitter account anymore.
This is perfect. I’ve just set up a new home lab in the office and needed something to learn.
I bought this book on leanpub years ago and it has helped my career tremendously. At the time I donated like $50 because I got my company to pay for it but I would have gladly paid that amount out of pocket. This book is worth your time and your money, especially at this price.
I learned a lot from his book, about how to structure roles and use those as your base instead of just playbooks. thanks for the heads up on this action by Geerling
If it’s free can someone post a direct pdf link? Otherwise it’s not free.
It’s free as in beer if you go and check out on the leanpub page.
It’s free as in “paying zero money”. It’s still distributed via leanpub. Requires an email address to get to the download page, it doesn’t verify it in any way other than being a valid email format. Links are to DRM-free epub and PDF.
True, and Jeff is clearly making no money from it. Though leanpub is still taking its registrations and page views. Sure that doesn’t cost us anything but time. But calling time free is also something controversial.
