Summary
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.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.
