The must have cookbook for people using Kubernetes.
I have been waiting a long while since I first read it, to make sure I cover the whole book topics before I actually write a review.
1 month later, I not only read through everything (since that's easy), but had day to day scenarios/challenges that covered almost the whole book, except for anything serverless, hyperkurbe or Azure-related. Kubernetes cookbook served me extremely well.
I am especially fond of the "Developing Kubernetes", "Security", "Maintenance and Troubleshooting" and "Scaling" chapter categories.
Although in practice everybody knows a little bit here and there, the cookbook always surprised me with something I did not know or completely forgot, like `kubectl proxy` accesing `clusterIP` services at http://localhost:8001/api/v1/proxy/na....
Definitely buy, read, have this book. You'll know more for something that's here to stay for the foreseeable future - Kubernetes.

Very basic info, good for beginners. A little outdated now.

It does it job, BUT only if you agree to its form up-front. It's a cookbook, as cookbook-ish as only the cookbooks can be. There's no introduction, there are no blueprints, overviews, etc. - raw cookbooks for various scenarios -> starting with the simplest ones & ending with ones that are not complex in terms of having many steps etc. - they are still quite atomic (there are no full cases), but more rare & case-specific.
That of course means that this book shouldn't really be used end-to-end, reader will prolly just search for whatever he/she is interested in. In my case: I've actually read all of it except few sections dedicated to GCE only.
But does this formula & its content justify the price? I have the mixed feelings here - in fact Kubernetes is VERY popular this days & in fact there are many quality tutorials/samples over the web. Probably you'll be able to find 80% of book content's equivalents on your own just in the web, for free. But having it in one place, for reasonable money - it's a viable option ofc.

I liked it as it didn't have a textbook feel to it. It was more of how you can use the tools and technologies you have and tire then together to build a high functioning scalable robust infrastructure.

Not much depth or reasoning
Very basic collection of commands. Not much explanation of why they should run, whatnthey doing. Very basic knowledge is given. This should be a free pamphlet given out to generate sales leads or maybe it is? Dont buy.

This is a useful book, aimed towards the beginners of Kubernetes. The cookbook recipes could help reinforce the concepts that we learn in Kubernetes in a practical manner.
