First things first, do not expect to use this book for installation and maintenance of a K8s cluster or from IT perspective. That affair changes too fast to be addressed in a book. Unfortunately the first chapter gives a hint of that and that is where I kept down the book once. And then it took me another week to give it another go.This book is more for all the post-installation tasks including cluster configuration, understanding the netwrking, service-discovery, storage configuration, application deployment etc. And the book does a good job of that.Relating K8s to DevOps is something I had hard time doing, looking at the documentation and online blogs. Networking documentation online are either too abstract or too detailed. Both these concerns are addressed adequately in the book.Overall a good read for devops and developers. Especially with the lack of another good and "current" book.As for installations of the cluster, if you are new to K8s, try a installation template from a cloud platform, based on their "current" documentation. Azure, GCP, Bluemix all provide cluster service natively, though Bluemix trial cluster has limitations on storage and networking. And it is not hard to get started on AWS. This book will help you while creating a cluster on premise, but again, you are better off following the documentation.

It is a good starter book for Kubernetes but do not expect more than "Start" for details.

This particular book emphasizes using Kubernetes with Google's cloud service, with fewer references to AWS. Actually unsurprising, given that Kubernetes was invented by Google, but something you should know.
