Developing Cloud Native Applications

Programming Kubernetes

Julien Sobczak

The devil is in the details. More a reference than a true technical book.

The authors are very knowledgeable on Kubernetes and its internals but a book is great for what it contains but also for what it ignores. 

The book contains too much details and is poorly organized. Why not start the book with a real-world example of what is possible when programming Kubernetes, to capture the reader attention, develop his curiosity, and slowly introduce details at the moment where the problems they solve appear.

Reading this book is like learning cooking by introducing every tools, then all ingredients, to finally prepare a basic recipe. You will be starving before turning the oven on... 

Nonetheless, the book is still valuable because it discusses advanced topics that are not well detailed in the official documentation.
