This book differentiates itself from other seemingly similar publications in
that it prioritizes comprehension over covering an extensive syllabus, and
that it is written in a strict bottom-up fashion, using, in general, small code
examples.
As a consequence of being a didactically focused book, a fewer
number of topics are covered. The selected topics are explored slowly, on a
step-by-step basis and using examples that help the reader observe, prove,
and internalize how Kubernetes helps solve problems, as opposed to what
its internals are.
The bottom-up approach allows the reader to be productive from the
first chapter, without having to “read ahead” or wait until the end of the
book to set up Kubernetes-based workloads. This method also decreases
the number of concepts that the reader must joggle in their mind at any
given time.
