To get the most out of this book

You will need a version of Git installed – the latest will do. All activities within the book were tested on Windows 10 and 11 using version 2.35.1.windows.2. However, they should work with future version releases too. In addition, most applications are OS-agnostic, so you shouldn’t have any issues using them with different OSs. I used Azure CLI version 2.50.0, Minikube 1.31.2, npm 9.6.7, and Node.js 18.17.1 in this book.

All other applications installed are the latest at the time of writing and should work.

Software/hardware covered in the book	Operating system requirements
VS Code	Windows, macOS, or Linux
Azure CLI	Windows, macOS, or Linux
Node.js	Windows, macOS, or Linux

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
