Why read it?
1 author picked Infrastructure as Code as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I especially appreciated the parts teaching the core principles of infrastructure as code (e.g., systems are disposable, consistent, can easily be reproduced, etc.), core practices of infrastructure as code (e.g., use definition files, self-documented systems and processes, version all the things, etc.), and the idea of antifragile systems (rather than just systems that you prevent from breaking) and autonomic systems (rather than just automated systems).
From Yevgeniy's list on practical, hands-on books on DevOps and software delivery.
