Do you need to figure out what Kubernetes is all about? Do you like learning through hands-on?

If yes, this is the book for you...

Quick Start Kubernetes, brought to you by best-selling author Nigel Poulton, assumes zero prior experience and gets you to the point you can hold your own in a conversation with an expert, and deploy simple applications. And it does it in less than 100 pages!

You'll learn:

What Kubernetes is
Why we have Kubernetes

You'll also perform the following hands-on tasks:

Deploy the app to Kubernetes
Break the app and watch it self-heal

Along the way, Nigel explains everything as clearly as possible and busts every piece of jargon. When you're done, you'll be in love with Kubernetes and ready to take your journey to the next level.
