The world of k8s is pretty vast, but Gigi does a thorough job of covering all the bases. Pretty much everything is in here, or at least everything I've been looking for. There's a surprising amount of depth on the key topics including code samples.

The book is well written. It explained the fundamentals and the need of microservices. I like chapter 3, High Availability, and Reliability. The Golang source code provided is a great add-on to try things hands-on. The code bundle is also hosted in GitHub. I have even gone throw it's the previous version and provided feedback. The author considered that and incorporated the changes. This book is definitely an all in one material for beginners and for the people who want to go in-depth.

This is the third edition of "Mastering Kubernetes" book. As technology evolves, you will want to get the most updated book you can, and this third edition delivers that. With updated diagrams, examples and screenshots but keeping most of the material from the 1st edition "Mastering Kubernetes" is the book to own if you are an IT professional that needs to learn how to work with Kubernetes or looking for a specific solution. The book is succinctly written in such a way that you can read it cover to cover or choose to use the detailed index to jump to the section that you need."Mastering Kubernetes" does not run a slim path of covering installations, instead it covering the areas and software that surrounds the dealing with online clusters and explains other types of software and hardware you will need in order to make your project successful it also covers a myriad of different cloud services providers.Overall very recommended if you are dealing with Kubernetes in a professional setting.

In "Mastering Kubernetes", Gigi Sayfan surveys the vast Kubernetes ecosystem with plenty of examples and practical advice. The book serves as a guide for developing, monitoring, scaling, and deploying applications in Kubernetes. It walks you through the basics of setting up your own clusters and shows you how to tweak configuration files to scale pods horizontally or vertically. At times, the book feels like watching over an expert's shoulder as he demonstrates how to set up a MariaDB cluster in Kubernetes.The book touches on many complex topics, ranging from security, networking, serverless computing, service meshes, and more. It's easy to get lost in the sea of new technologies, such as Knative, Istio, and Helm, but "Mastering Kubernetes" does an admirable job of showing you how they work and what they do, complete with architecture diagrams, code samples, and of course, YAML files.As a contributor to the GitLab Helm Chart, I particularly enjoyed how this book filled in many gaps in my knowledge. For example, I’d heard of persistent volume claims before, but I’d never had a reason to see how they worked in practice. I found it reassuring that it was possible to deploy NFS or CephFS in Kubernetes, even though much of my time has been focused on moving away from networked filesystems. I also appreciated the demonstration of how to use a Kubernetes-aware Snitch in Cassandra.After reading "Mastering Kubernetes", I felt like I was further away from mastering Kubernetes than I had been when I started, but that’s not a bad thing. The book reminds you that the Kubernetes universe is expanding rapidly, and it’s difficult to keep up with all the changes. In fact, by the time I read Chapter 2, the instructions for KinD had already become outdated because the developers had revamped the command-line interface. But hidden inside the book’s deceptively simple title belies a simple truth: mastering something is an ongoing process--a struggle at times--and that process may continue indefinitely. "Mastering Kubernetes" serves as a useful starting point for this journey.
