Book overview

Discover Kubernetes the Visual Way!

Understanding Kubernetes can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. In this book, Aurélie Vache makes cloud-native concepts accessible through a unique collection of clear, illustrated sketchnotes.

Updated for Kubernetes 1.33 (in June 2025), this visual guide helps you grasp both the fundamentals and more advanced features of Kubernetes, step by step.

Inside, you’ll find:

✅ An overview of core components: etcd, API server, scheduler, kubelet, controller manager, kube-proxy...
✅ Essential resources explained:
Pods, Jobs, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Ingress, PV/PVC...
✅ Key operational topics:
QoS, Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, Affinity and AntiAffinity rules, Network Policies...
✅ Advanced concepts made simple:
RBAC, PSP, Node operations...
✅ Practical debugging & troubleshooting tips
✅ Handy Kubernetes tools you should know
✅ And dozens of
“How To” examples paired with visual guides to quickly master even the trickiest concepts.

Whether you're a developer, sysadmin, DevOps engineer, or simply curious about Kubernetes, this book turns complex ideas into simple, memorable visuals.

Make your Kubernetes learning journey easier — and a lot more fun!

    Si vous être en train d'apprendre à utiliser Kubernetes, ou avez besoin de quelques révisions, ce livre est fait pour vous. Il va droit au but, sans blabla, et dans un format ludique et coloré, sans rien sacrifier au sérieux du propos. Des sketchnotes quoi :)

    J'avais peur que les écritures manuscrites soient trop petites et/ou illisibles, mais ce n'est pas du tout le cas. La taille du livre (le format d'un magazine) permet de rendre la lecture très agréable.

    Il fait un tour complet de tout ce que vous devez savoir pour commencer à maîtriser Kubernetes, et d'après moi, vous avez de grandes chances de décrocher une certification Kubernetes (CKA ou CKAD) si vous maîtrisez tout ce qui y est expliqué.

    Le petit plus : une annexe décrivant les changements apportés au différentes versions de Kubernetes depuis la version 1.18 jusqu'à la version 1.25 (sortie le même jour que le livre)

    L'impression des pages en couleur rend la lecture plus agréable, sans que le prix s'en ressente.

    C'est ce qui m'a fait choisir ce livre qui est un livre d'illustrations expliquant simplement mais de manière très exhaustive Kubernetes et les petits outils si pratiques qui gravitent autour.

    C'est en anglais, mais pas de panique car le format sketch note (dessins) fait que c'est pour tout le monde et quelque soit la langue !

    Je ne regrette vraiment pas mon achat, il a sa place de prédilection sur mon bureau afin de le consulter au moindre doute.

    Foncez, vous ne le regretterez pas.
