When I read Docker Deep Dive, someone told me Docker’s built-in swarm mode was replaced by Kubernetes, I heard so many times about K8s, therefor no reason to ignore anymore, that’s why I read this book, and full of respect for Google and Open Source after reading:
Kubernetes (commonly stylized as K8s) is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It aims to provide a “platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts”. It works with a range of container tools, including Docker.
What is Kubernetes?
And an excellent talk hybrid with Microservices, Docker, Kubernetes and Istio:
Manning is a very interesting publisher:
Manning Publications is an American publisher established by Lee Fitzpatrick and Marjan Bace that publishes books on computer technology topics, with a particular focus on web development. Their distinctive brand features illustrations from the 1805 edition of Sylvain Maréchal’s four-volume compendium of regional dress customs on the covers of many of their books.
This is the third book I read of manning, preview were Deep Learning with Python and Elasticsearch in Action, both impressed me by quality and illustrations, and make me considered read manning’s book preferentially later
Kubernetes in Action’s author Marko Luksa said:
In my first month of dealing with Kubernetes, I wrote a two-part blog post about how to run a JBoss WildFly application server cluster in OpenShift/Kubernetes. At the time, I never could have imagined that a simple blog post would ultimately lead the people at Manning to contact me about whether I would like to write a book about Kubernetes. Of course, I couldn’t say no to such an offer, even though I was sure they’d approached other people as well and would ultimately pick someone else.
Manning would be my first favorite publisher, and who would be my second?
