The book offers a deep and thoughtful exploration of managing Kubernetes in an enterprise environment. The book covers a broad range of topics essential for effectively deploying and scaling Kubernetes in complex organizational settings. The authors provide a wealth of practical advice, drawing on their extensive experience in the field.While the book excels in many areas, such as its detailed discussions on integrating Kubernetes with enterprise systems and managing multi-tenant clusters, it does feel like it’s missing a few critical points, particularly in areas like advanced security practices or some emerging Kubernetes tools. That said, the depth and clarity of the content make it a valuable resource for anyone looking to extend their Kubernetes knowledge beyond the basics.Overall, it’s a solid guide that will be especially useful for DevOps teams working in enterprise environments. Just be prepared to supplement it with additional resources for the most cutting-edge practices.

As a reader with a few years of hands-on experience deploying at scale and managing both Amazon EKS and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), "Kubernetes - An Enterprise Guide" by Marc Boorshetein and Scott Surovich is an excellent guide for those just learning about Kubernetes as well as seasoned professionals. The end of each chapter includes a summary and questions that can be used for study. They also include a link to their Discord community if you would have questions.The authors start by covering container fundamentals and Docker concepts. Docker is one of the most widely used tooling for developing with containers. It is geared towards individuals who have prior experience with containers. I found this information useful as someone with years of experience. This leads into working with Kubernetes locally by deploying a cluster with KinD (Kubernetes in Docker). This is a great way to learn the basics of Kubernetes without having to spend money on cloud resources or procuring hardware. Chapter 2 covers common components of Kubernetes as well as how to interact with a cluster using kubectl. Example screenshots and configurations are provided which should be helpful for those new to the tooling and concepts when learning KinD.There is a wealth of information in regards to Kubernetes concepts; therefore, it would be quite difficult to learn by simply reading a textbook. The information is similar to what you might find in the documentation online, but with more in depth analysis and focused sections. A beginner would likely need to revisit sections based on what that person's role is in terms of interacting with Kubernetes. Overall this book includes some great information for an individual migrating their organization to Kubernetes.I was able to learn some new things even as an experienced user, for example, the chapter about the K8GB I found particularly enlightening. I knew the basics going in, but have not been working with Kubernetes lately so it was a good refresher to see them again. There were also some insightful explanations I can use moving forward. I definitely recommend reading for anyone with some experience with containers and is ready to level up and start using Kubernetes at scale.There are many solutions to choose from when it comes to cluster components. The authors have chosen some of the most popular solutions to cover in depth so this information is immediately useful for users looking to implement Kubernetes at an Enterprise level.

From the authors, “We created this book to help DevOps teams to expand their skills beyond the basics of Kubernetes.” Also, “Readers should have some experience with Kubernetes and DevOps before reading this book.” The book is intermediate to advanced in level and is very hands-on. This said, Chapter 3 provides an excellent Kubernetes bootcamp. I would recommend, however, that before diving into Chapter 3, the beginner should invest some time getting an overview of Kubernetes, including some common use cases.To follow the book with the hands-on instructions that fill most of the chapters (more practice than theory), Ubuntu Linux 22.04 or higher is required. This could be running on a high-end Raspberry Pi or anything more powerful. The book is not meant to be a page-turner. If the reader has their Ubuntu machine nearby they will get some great experience deploying Kubernetes and related tools. It will take time. Kubernetes has lots of moving parts.Seven of the 19 chapters are dedicated to security with security concerns also peppered throughout most of the rest of the chapters. Chapter 15 needs more computing power (maybe an Orange Pi Max with 16GB RAM) and Chapter 19 requires considerably more computing power.Targeted at DevOps, the book might appeal to a wider audience wishing for a deep, hands-on dive into Kubernetes.

I received the digital pre released book and I am very impressed. Well written and covers a breadth of topics relating to Kubernetes. My current work as a DevOps engineer utilizes ECS Fargate for container orchestration so I am spending my own time to receive additional experience with Kubernetes. This book is an excellent resource for this purpose and I highly recommend it.

I read this book during a few days of unexpected downtime, and just in time for a much-needed re-orientation & update on these concepts. The authors offer an easy-to-follow guide that seamlessly bridges the gap between beginner and advanced concepts, making the content accessible to both novices and seasoned DevOps professionals.Each chapter builds on the previous one in a way that feels intuitive. I appreciate how the flow of content builds a deep understanding as the chapters progress, allowing readers to naturally grasp increasingly complex topics. The avoidance of industry jargon wherever possible makes the material more approachable, ensuring that the concepts are clear and digestible. The book’s focus on practical, real-world applications is particularly valuable for those looking to implement Kubernetes in enterprise environments.It effectively addresses the challenges companies face in managing Kubernetes clusters, providing actionable insights and some useful best practices. The coverage of topics like security, multitenancy, and monitoring is thorough, offering readers the insight needed to handle enterprise-level Kubernetes deployments. Overall, the book is structured, well-written, and a highly recommended resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Kubernetes beyond the basics.

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible.
