Kubernetes in Action Paperback – 29 Jan. 2018

The book is well written and introduces the reader step by step to each of the primary resources of kubernetes. The use of diagrams within each section reinforces the concepts the author is trying to get across allowing the reader to either be sat at a terminal tapping in the commands or sat on the sofa. I read the book from start to finish to grasp the overall architecture and primary concepts of K8 and afterwards as a reference of how to get things done step by step.

I was initially a little apprehensive about this book, mainly because it is quite a pricey book compared to other Kubernetes books. But I've heard lots of positive reviews about this book so I thought I'll take a chance,.... and I was not disappointed!!! The style of writing is incredibly clear and concise, with easy to follow explanations. There are plenty of diagrams throughout the book that takes this book to another level.I am in awe at how well written this book is. I've read a few Kubernetes books and none of them are anywhere near as comprehensive as this book is. This is a must-have book if you are new to Kubernetes, or a seasoned Kubernetes Administrator, or if you're preparing for the CKA certification. My thanks to the author for writing such a great book!

This book is simply awesome. I wanted to get a handle on K8, and this book really helped a beginner like me. With some free Google cloud credits I was able to follow through the examples, and get my own examples up and running with little hassle. Really well written, like many of the 'in Action' books are. I have read the general part one and Part 2 sections, which has got me going with many deployments. The really advanced stuff of part 3 will have to wait until I get a bit more practice.

I started to learn K8S and was lost with so much diverse documentation on web. This book helping me to grab it in a managed way, explains all the concepts with examples, discuss use cases and give an insight into working of K8S internal as well. Really recommend this book anyone who love to deep dive into K8S.

great book to start with K8s

After faffing around trying to understand bits and pieces of kubernetes and getting lost, I needed to work through a good book to learn it properly. This is the first edition, no second edition listed. The book is well written and clearly explained, but in chapter 2 where we first start doing things with kubernetes, I soon realised that some of the concepts and commands are out of date/no longer recommended by kubernetes e.g. replication controllers vs replica sets, creating pods/replica sets vs creating deployments.On a positive note, when you buy this print book, you also get access to a downloadable PDF version plus the live-version via the Manning website. The live-version is especially useful for copying the commands and asking questions in the sidebar if something is unclear. I ended up using the live-version more than the print copy.It was also on the Manning website that I discovered there is a 2nd Edition. The print version isn't ready, but you can buy the live-version. I recommend doing that for anyone thinking of buying this first edition.

The book makes for easy reading about the details around Kubernetes and walks you through the process of deploying containers into a Kubernetes cluster. However, this is the First Edition and starting at Chapter 2, the commands quoted start to fail because of deprecated parameters to the Kubectl. You will not get very far. If you have no intention of following the exercises or using the commands in any detail, then the book is a great read. My recommendation is to find a copy of the Second Edition.

Hi there.Very good book. BUT! this book is not for Kubernetes system administrators! it will not teach you how to install, support, maintain K8S. This book is for Developers! How to get most of it.

I liked the structure of the book and coverage of topics but like any open source tool book always lags the actual tool by few versions this book has not been updated in a while and needs a revision but it can always be used as reference in conjunction with the latest product documentation

This book is a good combination of introduction with some amount of deep-dive topics. You can read it as beginner or as medium experienced Kubernetes user / admin. It explains well, but not too long for a single topic, so you have a good flow of reading. It covers the basics, but also more advanced topics like Kubernetes architecture, the REST Api or ServiceAccounts. Only critics: Most of the examples are working with current Kuberentes versions, but not all (kubectl run vs create Pod/Job). All in all still a very good read.

This book has it all. It's conversational enough to be readable, but dense enough to be challenging. What you'll get out of it is what you put in. I suggest reading with a highlighter, because you're going to read things on practically every other page that practically jump off the page at you.It's a little old now. The book mostly talks about Kubernetes 1.7-1.9, but as of this writing we're on Kubernetes 1.16. I was looking at the author's twitter to see if he's working on a 2nd edition when I saw a comment he made about appreciating reviews. Well, I appreciate the intense labor you so obviously put into this book.I kept a strict pace of a chapter a day and it took me about 2 hours per chapter. Now, I was reading very carefully and trying to make sure I took in every word, so it might not take you as long. A friend of mine read it at the same time as me and he could sit down and read 4 chapters in a night, whereas... well... I couldn't really manage more than 2 in the same day without feeling like I didn't take it all in.The content is EXPERTLY organized. I'm a hawk for typos and I only found like 3 or 4 in all 559 pages. There were a few topics (mainly, GitOps workflows, Skaffold, Istio, etc.) that this book would really really benefit from touching on. Especially GitOps.

In the paper vsrsersion The content is black and white or color?
