She tries to survive in what feels like a heartless and uncaring bureaucracy and to work within a system where no one can get anything done without endless committees, paperwork, and approvals. One day, she is approached by a ragtag bunch of misfits who say they want to overthrow the existing order, to liberate developers, to bring joy back to technology work.

And yet, high performers using DevOps principles, such as Google, Amazon, and Netflix, are routinely and reliably deploying code into production hundreds, or even thousands, of times per day.

How can we apply technology to drive business value? For years we've been told that the performance of software delivery teams doesn't matter - that it can't provide a competitive advantage to our companies. Through four years of groundbreaking research to include data collected from the State of DevOps reports conducted with Puppet, Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim set out to find a way to measure software delivery performance - and what drives it - using rigorous statistical methods. This book presents both the findings and the science behind that research, making the information accessible for listeners to apply in their own organizations.

Publisher's Summary
Containers are revolutionizing the way we build, ship, and run our applications. But like all good things, they come with their own set of challenges. This is where Kubernetes enters the scene.
Kubernetes helps you deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. It also abstracts the many different underlying cloud platforms so that you don't need to care whether you're deploying on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or your own on-premises datacenter. With Kubernetes, you can develop your applications on your laptop, deploy to your chosen cloud platform, migrate to a different cloud platform, and even migrate to your private cloud at your on-premises datacenter.
This audio version of The Kubernetes Book starts from the beginning and covers everything you need to know to be proficient with Kubernetes. It even includes two sections dedicated to threat-modeling Kubernetes and real-world security.
You'll learn:
- Kubernetes cluster architecture
- How to build Kubernetes Clusters
- How to deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes
- How to secure Kubernetes
- The meaning of terms like cloud-native, microservices, desired state, containerized, and more...

Finally a technical book for Audible
This book was reworded to add value as an Audible book. Not that I've listened to a lot of technical books from Audible...maybe 10 books. All of the other technical books I've listened to regurgitate word-for-word what the author wrote. It becomes pretty annoying when the narrator reads the hash of a container verbatim. Nigel Poulton made this book a verbal learning tool. AND he definitely knows his subject matter. The book was just deep enough to provide a newbie with pieces of the K8s technology to form a solid foundation to work from.

Works surprisingly well
I didn't think these kinds of technical books would work in this format (audio) but the writer is a really good talker and changes enough things from the book to work better in an audio book. You probably would still want a real book if you wanted to better follow along and practice yourself, but if you go into it just wanting to learn the architecture of the system and learn the different concepts then it is great. From knowing almost nothing about K8 I now know most of the concepts, have an idea about how one would design and set up a project in it and most importantly are familiar with the keywords needed of to search for for more information and learn more when I need it.

Solid Kubernetes learning even for non-technical f
Even the most technical person gets tired when listening to command lines on an audio book, but Nigel has enough good sense not to do very much of this. I work with Kubernetes and I really liked the audio book. I sent this to a business partner who is non-technical and he understood why and how Kubernetes is so valuable. So Nigel got the right mix. Tech books can't possibly keep up with the latest and greatest new features, so don't read/listen for that stuff. Take a mental note when he is discussing a shortcoming or problematic area and do a Google search on the issue. You will find new ideas and solutions are already in the works. The big picture architecture Nigel is describing is still valid.
