Your Terraform plan has a destroy buried on line 340, and you're going to type "yes" anyway.Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool, and it happens to be extraordinarily well-suited to infrastructure work - because nearly everything DevOps engineers do has a built-in way to check the answer. A plan either shows a destroy or it doesn't. A pod either becomes Ready or it doesn't. helm template either renders or it errors. This book teaches you to exploit that.Written for engineers who already live in kubectl, Terraform, and CI YAML, it skips the AI hype and goes straight to the daily workflow: reading logs at 3 a.m., reviewing plans before you apply, repairing pipelines from a failed job log, and packaging your team's runbooks into something that actually gets used. Every chapter ends with something you can run today, and the final chapter assembles it all into one on-call toolkit repository.Critically, it takes safety seriously. You'll build permission rules, sandboxing, and deterministic hooks that make destructive operations structurally impossible - not merely discouraged.What you'll learnInstall, authenticate, and get real value in your first ten minutesWrite a CLAUDE.md and path-scoped rules that stop you repeating yourselfBuild permission rules and sandboxing that block kubectl delete and terraform apply in every modeTriage production incidents with ranked hypotheses instead of confident guessesReview Terraform plans for blast radius, and refactor with moved blocks safelyDebug CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKills, and probe failures with a read-only cluster toolkitRepair broken CI pipelines from the job log alone, and hunt flaky tests across many runsScript Claude as a Unix filter with bare mode, JSON output, and constrained schemasWrite hooks that deny production mutations, auto-format edits, and inject live contextShip a blocking PR review gate, a nightly drift job, and a team pluginSixteen chapters. Every command verified against current Claude Code documentation.Part of the Practical Programming Series by Jacob Ren.
