| I would buy the book. Just translate all "new language" concepts into well known concepts from networking and system administration. It would be best seller. If I would only have a penny for each time I wasted hours trying to figure out what something in "modern IT" is, just to figure out that I already knew what it is, but it was well hidden under layers of newspeak... |

| This[0] is my take on something like that, but I'm no k8s expert -- the post documents my first contact with k8s and what/how I understood these concepts, from a sysadmin/SWE perspective. [0]: https://blog.davidv.dev/posts/first-contact-with-k8s/ |

| The book I read on K8S written by a core maintainer made is very clear. |

| ▲ | jpalomaki 3 months ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Is it this one, Kubernetes: Up and Running, 3rd Edition by Brendan Burns, Joe Beda, Kelsey Hightower, Lachlan Evenson from 2022?
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/kubernetes-up-and/97810... (edit: found the 3rd edition) | | |
| ▲ | radicalbyte 3 months ago | parent [-] | | No, Kubernetes in Action, but that book was also on my radar (mainly as Kelsey Hightower's name reminds me of the Police Academy films I loved as a kid). |

| ▲ | xorcist 3 months ago | parent [-] | | A book from 2017? Is that still relevant to understand a modern Kubernetes cluster? The CNCF ecosystem looked a lot different back then. | | |
| ▲ | ofrzeta 3 months ago | parent | next [-] | | The second edition is being worked on for a long time: https://www.manning.com/books/kubernetes-in-action-second-ed... | |
| ▲ | radicalbyte 3 months ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yup it's a great introduction as you can fly through it (3-4 hours to read most of it), at least if you already have a grasp of networking, linux, processes, threads, containers etc. Then you can hit other resources (in my case working with a team who've been using K8S for a few years). If you (or anyone else) has suggestions for something newer and covering more than just the core (like various different components you can use, Helm, Argo, ISTIO etc etc) then I'd appreciate it :-) |
