A service can have plenty of CPU yet suffer terrible latency. More threads can make performance worse. A container can appear isolated while sharing the host kernel.

The book deliberately connects subsystems so you can follow failures across CPU, memory, storage, networking, security, containers, and virtualization rather than treating each component in isolation.Whether you're building high-performance services, debugging production latency, designing concurrent software, working with containers and virtual machines, or preparing for advanced systems engineering work, this book is designed to help you stop treating the operating system as a black box-and start reasoning about what it is actually doing.

What really happens between your application and the hardware?
Modern software can fail in ways that are impossible to understand from application code alone. A service can have plenty of CPU yet suffer terrible latency. More threads can make performance worse. A container can appear isolated while sharing the host kernel. A memory allocation can trigger storage I/O, while a scheduler decision can turn into a NUMA or contention problem.
Advanced Operating System Concepts takes you beyond textbook definitions and into the engineering decisions that shape real systems.
Written for developers and engineers who already understand basic programming, processes, threads, files, and networking, this book teaches you how to reason about the operating system as an active participant in application behavior.
Inside, you'll explore:
• Kernel architecture, execution contexts, system calls, interrupts, exceptions, modules, and drivers
• Processes, threads, file descriptors, signals, process creation, and copy-on-write
• CPU scheduling, fairness, real-time policies, affinity, multicore load balancing, and latency
• Virtual memory, page tables, TLBs, page faults, reclaim, huge pages, and NUMA
• Storage paths, filesystems, buffering, writeback, I/O queues, and durability
• Synchronization, mutexes, spinlocks, atomics, RCU, seqlocks, futexes, and lock-free design
• Security boundaries, privileges, capabilities, namespaces, seccomp, LSMs, and sandboxing
• Virtual machines, hypervisors, KVM, QEMU, containers, cgroups, and resource isolation
• Networking, IPC, event loops, asynchronous I/O, queues, and backpressure
• Profiling, tracing, PSI, eBPF, benchmarking, latency analysis, and failure investigation
• Heterogeneous hardware, accelerators, IOMMUs, memory tiering, programmable kernels, microVMs, and confidential computing
But this is not simply a collection of mechanisms.
Throughout the book, you'll learn a repeatable way to investigate difficult systems problems: identify the state, determine ownership, trace the transition, find the scarce resource, understand the ordering rule, examine the security boundary, and gather evidence before changing the system.
Practical Linux exercises, decision tables, troubleshooting patterns, integrated case studies, review questions, and a dedicated operating-system laboratory turn abstract concepts into engineering practice. The book deliberately connects subsystems so you can follow failures across CPU, memory, storage, networking, security, containers, and virtualization rather than treating each component in isolation.
Whether you're building high-performance services, debugging production latency, designing concurrent software, working with containers and virtual machines, or preparing for advanced systems engineering work, this book is designed to help you stop treating the operating system as a black box—and start reasoning about what it is actually doing.

Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
