What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

This is a must have for the next level if you are a DevOps pro

Full Disclosure: I've worked with John Doak at Google and again at Microsoft.I got into computers when UNIX on mainframes and minicomputers was a thing, and naturally learned to get around in C , Pascal ,and other languages of that time. While that has served me well, I want to stay current, and Go is the natural evolution/consolidation of those. I have also built a career building Ops/DevOps/SRE and other SWE and infrastructure teams, so this book seemed a great idea to me - a way to get current thinking on a current language, with a book that has examples of tasks that I or my teams would be interested in solving.In short, the book has proven to be a great introduction to a language I had a little familiarity with, but in a way that's focused on solving the kinds of automations problem that my teams deal with every day. It starts with the basics that I needed to grasp the language, and then works progressively through tasks that become more complex but are examples of things we do every day. The fact that it uses online environments and other tools to get you up and writing quickly is a nice perk. The book also gives a little SWE philosophical background so you can understand why Go works the way it does, and why certain engineering practices are "best practices". It manages to do this with weight, but without being preachy.In short I found this both a good introduction to Go and a useful reference for things/methodologies I (as a manager) should probably do more often but sometimes forget.

If you need to upgrade your current Go proficiency to work in the new development environment, “Go for Devops” Packt, by John Doak and David Justice can help. The book does an excellent job reintroducing the reader to go basics, building out observability solutions, and then migrating those solutions onto the cloud. Each section provides an extensive code-base and real-world examples to help learn the best solutions. My own Go skills have been lacking and I found the first section extremely helpful. It covers from language basics to command line tooling with all the intermediate sections to build file-structures and connect to remote resources. These skills play in later when needed to construct environments on cloud-providers and detail the observability aspects required by DevOps. If you don’t have the basic skills, you can’t move to advanced options and this does a credible job covering down on those basics. My favorite part of the middle section was the connection with existing tools. I don’t know any developers that haven’t used GitHub as a core piece so learning to automate workflows with GitHub builds a much needed skill-set. I also use Open Telemetry extensively myself to help send the right data to the right places so seeing it covered here was useful. Even further, the authors point out the ability to integrate OWASP’s Zap, and then the Jaeger tool with OTel to show results effectively. The last part builds to infrastructure as code with Terraform and then expand into Azure. This is a good spot for a joke, Do you know why there is no DevOps on Mars? It hasn’t been terraformed. With that, terraform is a key piece of most DevOps infrastructure so the inclusion here is valuable. Past terraform, the authors build some container solutions with Kubernetes and explain how to construct an Azure environment. Each of these steps helps the advanced user build and monitor a DevOps environment to continuous generate code for production. My chief complaint was I was really looking forward to the chapter on Chaos. I thought it would be some interesting takes on doing Chaos engineering against Go code for my CI/CD pipelines. The chapter did offer some best practices, but more in line with standard approaches than a detailed Chaos look. All in all, not too bad of a downer for an otherwise great book. This book provides a great, intermediate look at using Go in your DevOps process. While it does not exclusively focus on DevOps approaches, the integration with the various code aspects will certainly improve your overall code development. I recommend this for anyone working development in Go with an interest in expanding their knowledge to infrastructure as code.
