it's really about practice, quite simple practice for beginners. Lots of logs captures float pages, making it uncomfortable to read

Мне книга очень понравилась. В начале каждой главы дается теория какого-либо аспекта работы с контейнерами, а дальше идут упражнения по применению знаний на практике. Они бывают двух видов: в виде абстрактного примера, а также бота для телеграмма, который элемент за элементом разрабатывается с третьей главы и до конца книги. Рассчитана на начинающих пользователей. Немного разочаровала последняя глава, где автор пытается говорить о кубернетисе и оркестрации контейнеров. Эта тема настолько обширна, что те мелкие мазки, которые приводятся, выглядят несколько неуместно.
