Kubernetes – An Enterprise Guide provides an in-depth exploration and architecture review of common concerns when it comes to deploying and running Kubernetes. The authors explore topics, such routing and deploying L4 and L7 load balancers, RBAC, OIDC, Istio, and many others.I liked the depth of a lot of topics, such as exploring Istio from the Kubernetes' point of view, as well as from the application concerns. The book provides concrete steps for deploying and testing explored concepts on a local Kubernetes cluster (KinD).The authors provide an opinionated approach to the architecture. Since Marc Boorshtein is involved with the company behind OpenUnison, it is understandable that OpenUnison gets featured in the book prominently. It is up to the reader to decide whether to accept such architecture or not; the underlying concepts, however, are explained quite well and are applicable to different OIDC providers as well.The book deals with a fast-moving tech stack, so the instructional steps can get obsolete fairly quickly. Consequently, readers might have to do a bit of their own troubleshooting when it comes to deploying various parts of the Kubernetes stack.I would recommend the book to readers that are looking to deepen their experience with Kubernetes (at least at the level of CKA would be my recommendation). It is definitely worth the read, provided you do not mind the opinionated approach.

This is one of the excellent books that I come across to learn Kubernetes basics and advance. The book covers wide range of topics that start with Docker and containers to RBAC , GitOps, Service mesh. Author explains each section in detail and it has been nicely divided in each chapters. The way advanced topics of Kubernetes are explained with example, it made easy to understand for anyone.I would really recommend this book not only who are new to the Kubernetes but it is also a good reference book for seasoned players.

Thanks to the authors for this book. Getting started with K8s with a book like this is a great step. I found this book very Worthy and informative. I always used to be distracted while using YouTube for learning. This book solves my problem.

Thanks to the authors. This comprehensive book on Kubernetes came at the right time.This book starts with the basics and continues to build and build and build. I appreciate the pacing as there is a lot of information covered, and the authors did a great job of not skimming over content. For example, Kubernetes resources are covered thoroughly. I have experienced some books that tend to end up providing nothing more than a list or a repeat of the help content.I would recommend this to those wanting to start using K8s and those with a moderate amount of experience. The scope is huge but all major aspects of hosting a K8s solution are covered from basic operation to networking and security to more complex scenarios using a service mesh. I also found this guide helpful for a PaaS Kubernetes offering (Azure Kubernetes Service).

The chronology of chapters in this book has been set strategically to increase the complexity as I proceed. The best thing I liked about the book is no alien term is left unexplained. You don't need to google or refer any external material to understand the concepts described in this book.
