Narrated by: Nigel Poulton

Do you need to figure out what Kubernetes is all about? Do you like learning 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.

You'll learn:

• What Kubernetes is.
• Why we have Kubernetes.
• The role Kubernetes will play in the future of infrastructure and applications.

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

• Build a Kubernetes cluster.
• Containerize an app.
• Deploy the app to Kubernetes.
• Break the app and watch it self-heal.
• Scale the app
• Perform a rolling update.

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.

Great overview to give initial context to K8s

Really enjoyed the conversational style and storytelling. It sets up a good start to getting more into the weeds.
