Kubernetes: Up and Running: Dive into the Future of Infrastructure 1st Edition

It's been a hell of long time since I bought a technical book & couldn't put it down :-) Very well written & correct level of technical detail - I can look up the specific syntax, but this gives me everything I need to get going, quickly. I've been hearing a lot about kubernetes and this helped give all the context to understand what it's really all about!

Before purchasing, keep in mind what this book is versus what it is not. If it is judged for what it is not, you will find it to be lacking. If you look at it for what it is, you should find it valuable.This book is a good introduction to Kubernetes, going through an overview of the operations of the platform and a high level overview of what it takes to run it. While reading it, I found myself gaining a much greater comfort level starting to dig into the platform, creating pods, replica sets, etc.This book does not go in depth in any topic. For instance, you will learn how to deploy a ReplicaSet, associate it with configurations and secrets. but if something goes wrong, there is no detail on how to troubleshoot. It will not walk you through the installation or initial configuration of a Kubernetes cluster. So if you're looking to spin up a few VM's in VirtualBox (or a tool of your choice), you'll need to look elsewhere.To me, this book is strictly around the operation of Kubernetes. If you're being introduced to a previously working environment, this is a great book. If you're looking to spin up a cluster and run that, use this book to supplement however you're installing. If you're looking for something deep and "crunchy," this book is not for you.For me, personally, I'd installed a cluster using online resources and used this book to gain greater knowledge of how to run the environment. It delivered what I wanted and now I'm looking for the proverbial next step.

In nearly 10 years of purchasing items in Amazon, this is my very first review. This book warranted it. A very easy read, with the essentials you would need to be productive. And that's good for many of us, but it lays the foundation if you want to explore further. Read it from start to finish in 3 days. Well worth it.

The book is a must read for any developer working on an project in which the containers are managed by Kubernetes. Although I recommend reading the official documentation afterwards, this book certainly offers a friendlier introduction and is a great resource for drilling the fundamentals.

This book gives a good overview of essential concepts for developers like configs, deployments, services and jobs. This book is not about the cluster management and not about the package management. Therefore, last chapters (about "real-world applications") and appendix (about Raspberry Pi cluster) are mostly useless.I recommend this for developers who have minimal experience with Kubernetes.

Good but mostly for beginners or users. For developers, it's a good overview. Once you understand it all, you really should go to the kubernetes.io website to learn more details. This book is more a how to use kubernetes not how it works. It also doesn't touch a point of headache for many users, which is how to deploy kubernetes in the first place. It assumes you have a cluster up and running and proceeds to show you how to deploy containers, pods, and services, etc. They use minikube for their examples and assume you can figure out how to deploy a more complex cluster on your own.

Kubernetes is quickly becoming the dominant container orchstrator. This book is the best intro I've found on the topic. It teaches how to think about Kubernetes, rather than just teaching you a bunch of commands.

I am new to K8S so this was a great book for me. I especially enjoyed the many examples. Thanks.

This is easily the best introduction to Kubernetes out there. It is fantastically good piece of technical writing, making even complex topics seem simple. I recommend it as a must read for anyone - or team who is about to enter the world of Kubernetes and doesn't know where to start. Even those who've been using Kubernetes for a few months will likely learn more about how it's basic features work together. Be aware that this is mostly an entry level book and won't cover the details of clsuter setup or advanced use cases... that'll be another book, a few years down the road I suspect.

Un buon libro per cominciare il percorso verso l'uso di Kubernetes. Chiaro e ben strutturato: copre gli aspetti fondamentali. Meno coperti aspetti avanzati o esempi complessi.

It is a great book to get started with Kubernetes. The book introduces to the features of Kubernetes in a concise manner.It gives you enough to get going.Its a great first book!

Das Buch geschrieben von den Hauptentwicklern von Kubernetes bietet einen idealen Einstieg in die Welt von Kubernetes. Es umschreibt alle aktuellen Gebiete dieser Kubernetes-Welt, ohne Neueinsteiger direkt mit zuviel Fachtermini zu überfrachten. Die im Buch aufgezeigten Hands-On-Beispiele helfen beim Einstieg. In einer bescheidenen Seitenanzahl gelingt es den Autoren die Message zu überbringen. Das Buch sollte zum Standard-Einsteigerwerk in Kubernetes zählen.

Fantastic book! Useful for beginners and expert users with examples in all chapters and amazing final workshop with Raspberry cluster
