Great overview
- By Profjekyll on 21-12-19
Summary
Containers are revolutionizing the way we build, ship, and run our applications. But like all good things, they come with their own set of challenges. This is where Kubernetes enters the scene.
Kubernetes helps you deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. It also abstracts the many different underlying cloud platforms so that you don't need to care whether you're deploying on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or your own on-premises datacenter. With Kubernetes, you can develop your applications on your laptop, deploy to your chosen cloud platform, migrate to a different cloud platform, and even migrate to your private cloud at your on-premises datacenter.
This audio version of The Kubernetes Book starts from the beginning and covers everything you need to know to be proficient with Kubernetes. It even includes two sections dedicated to threat-modeling Kubernetes and real-world security.
You'll learn:
- Kubernetes cluster architecture
- How to build Kubernetes Clusters
- How to deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes
- How to secure Kubernetes
- The meaning of terms like cloud-native, microservices, desired state, containerized, and more...

Finally a technical book for Audible
This book was reworded to add value as an Audible book. Not that I've listened to a lot of technical books from Audible...maybe 10 books. All of the other technical books I've listened to regurgitate word-for-word what the author wrote. It becomes pretty annoying when the narrator reads the hash of a container verbatim.
Nigel Poulton made this book a verbal learning tool. AND he definitely knows his subject matter.
The book was just deep enough to provide a newbie with pieces of the K8s technology to form a solid foundation to work from.

Works surprisingly well
I didn't think these kinds of technical books would work in this format (audio) but the writer is a really good talker and changes enough things from the book to work better in an audio book. You probably would still want a real book if you wanted to better follow along and practice yourself, but if you go into it just wanting to learn the architecture of the system and learn the different concepts then it is great. From knowing almost nothing about K8 I now know most of the concepts, have an idea about how one would design and set up a project in it and most importantly are familiar with the keywords needed of to search for for more information and learn more when I need it.

Best possible audiobook result
Great audiobook. For me, I wanted a recap of some basics and touch on the complex. If I wanted more I'd dive into the hard cover or one of the deeper dive books. This is excellent for someone familiar with thr content, but relatively new. Nigel is an adept narrator. I've enjoyed his content on pkuralsight in the past and seeing he had an audiobook I knew I would enjoy for a cheap price tag compared to most books in general let alone cutting edge tech. In case you ever read this Nigel thanks so much for all the content over the years.

This should be presented as a case study!
Nigel! Well done, Initially I was very sceptical about whether this bing be worth my while... Your audio book could be presented as a case study on how to make a technical book really work well as an audio book. I appreciate the thought that you have given this. I was driving as I listened and I could "see" the concepts in my mind.
I would like to have a PDF with the diagrams and a Table of Content for later reference. You should also include links to the repos and other resources you reference in the book as part of the PDF. This is a small issue but it very negatively affects the user experience.
