Purpose
I've been working my way toward Kubernetes for a while. It wasn't that long ago that I had limited familiarity with Linux and in the last several years I've tackled multiple distros of linux, several different languages, and containerization via Docker. So this is the next step down the rabbit hole that started sometime around when I read the Phoenix Project and came to understand that the tooling exists to make working with applications easier.
Expectations
I expect to learn a bit more about what makes K8s work. I'm especially interested in how to leverage K8s beyond just the cloud. My understanding is that it is designed with resiliency in mind (if a node goes down that the cluster can rerun the job and easily recover). I enjoy building solutions that punch above their weight. I hope that this book will give me enough understanding so I can start tinkering with a cluster and make things fly.
