Kubernetes: Up and Running: Dive into the Future of Infrastructure

This is a great book for anyone leaning how to use Kubernetes. It’s a good book for prepping for the CKD as well. It teaches all basic concepts and goes into depth about running a k8s cluster.

This book is amazing it contains all the information needed to level up your Kubernetes basic skills.It explains important base concepts. I do recommend this book

Some code in the digital book is truncated so not useful.Git repo with the code contains only half of it.

I was hoping this just-released third edition was going to update all the useless deprecated examples in the second-edition I found in the library. Nope. Looks like the author just wanted to make a quick buck and left all the examples unchanged and useless. Even the examples in github are five years old! I spent most of my time Googling how to make the examples work. And some just have no resolution. Like "kubectl run" will not create a deployment anymore--just pods. I love love love "Terraform Up and Running" third-edition and I was hoping this similarly named book will be of highest quality as the former.

The book is good for getting the basics of k8s. It covers the majority of objects that k8s has, but I wasn't pleased with the level of information given that covers those. Additionally, Git doesn't have all samples from the book and some of them don't work, like in the sample with mongo statefulSet, where the used image doesn't contain Curl command needed for mongo-init container. Despite the flaws, I would recommend this book anyway as it gives the direction where to move further.

From beginner to advanced level, there are some good insightsAnd overall a good and complete book to learn about k8s infrastructures

Cogent and well written introduction to k8 with hands on examples. Could not recommend it more highly.
