Here is the reading path leading up to this book, derived from its dependencies and ordered from the fundamentals.
The path so far (2 books)
Why read this first: After understanding how to build and run a single container in Poulton's 'Docker Deep Dive', the challenge in production becomes orchestrating many containers together. Lukša's 'Kubernetes in Action' explains container orchestration from the ground up, scaling you from one container to distributed operation.
Why read this first: After mastering basic Kubernetes usage, the next stage is learning established solutions to recurring design problems on top of it. Ibryam & Huß's 'Kubernetes Patterns' provides a pattern language—sidecars, health checks, and more—for correctly designing cloud-native applications on K8s.
