Nginx Is Giving Away a Free O'Reilly Book on Cloud Native Devops with Kubernetes
- darksoul 8y agoNeeds a form fill with a valid email, but it really is the full just-released 300+ page book.
- bch 8y ago...and name, work, phone number, and requires consent to receive emails from nginx...
- legostormtroopr 8y agoIts an eBook, not a book. Even though I work in tech, I was excited that they were giving a way a print copy I could flick though easily, and bookmark, annotate or share. EBooks have some advantages, but I still prefer print.
- bayindirh 8y agoYou can just get it printed and bound. O'Reilly's PDFs are not protected or hindered any way to discourage printing.
- capsulecorp 8y agoIm glad its an eBook, not a book. Since I work in tech, I am excited that its a eBook that I can search through easily rather than having to spend tons of time bookmarking and flipping through pages hoping to find what is relevant when I need it. Paper books have some novelty value but I much prefer the utility of full text search when its time to get something done.
- collyw 8y agoReally? I like ebooks for novel style format, but for technical books - where I don't necessarily them read in a linear manner - I find them way worse to browse.
- pferde 8y agoLikewise. Physical books simply lack the Ctrl+F key combo.
- collyw 8y agoCtrl + F feels like going to the index and looking something up. In that case its faster with an ebook. However scrolling through / flipping through pages to find something feels much more effective with a real book.
- tgragnato 8y agoTBH the index feels well-curated. It’s not one of those cases when you have hundreds of pages just tied together in a pdf. https://imgur.com/a/BPNCBnp https://imgur.com/a/BPNCBnp
- fernandotakai 8y agohonestly, same for me. i really like to write on technical books (i know, i know) and highlight parts. i tried doing the same with pdfs... and it's just not the same thing.
- pointytrees 8y agoNginx is giving away an ebook with email newsletter subscription.
- peterwwillis 8y agoStep 1: implement Kubernetes Step 2: completely transform your existing organization to be a matrix of agile teams with chargeback budgets aligned to resource use of shared services and collaborating on product lifecycles in scrum and kanban using full test coverage on both legacy and modern apps stored in asset-managed Docker containers in ci/cd pipelines triggered by Jira tickets deploying declarative immutable infrastructure and integrating an array of site reliability services that don't ship with k8s while adding policy and compliance enforcement with secret management and process auditing including in-line content filters using redundant services in multiple data centers without wasting resources or money Step 3: document it (I haven't read the book yet, so ymmv)
- Terretta 8y agoStep 4: audit controls against FFIEC and NIST Step 5: begin remediation to remove suspiciously hands-off automations that a few dozen humans could do and check manually instead Step 6: lift and shift another past due application into your old hyperconverged private cloud because ITIL is looking pretty good right now Step 7: git pull upgraded K8s, go to Step 1 /s (typical enterprise IT allergic reaction)
- potta_coffee 8y agoYou're joking but it's almost too accurate to be humorous. This is being foisted on us right now and it's giving me nearly crippling anxiety.
- hiimshort 8y agoI absolutely loved the concept of containerization when I started working with it a few years ago. Docker provided such a perfect way to ensure my application would build and run correctly when I pushed things up to my servers. Then came orchestration. Swarm was a bit slow to get out the door and is still buggy. K8s on the other hand shot past like a lightning bolt. While it evolved quickly, k8s has to be the one piece of software that I dread to work with the most. Setting up a cluster seems nearly impossible without compromising important features. Configuration is overly complex and difficult to discover. None of the (many) tools seem to do what I want. In the end, I begrudgingly chose Docker Swarm because I was actually able to create a cluster that worked. Mind you, there are still truckloads of bugs that have sat gathering dust for years that I continue to run into. At least with this solution I'm somewhat productive. May the heavens have mercy on your soul should you attempt any amount of networking in a cluster.
- wtmt 8y agoBusiness email, company, job title — what if someone doesn't have one or more of these? I know one can give fake information, but why are all the fields on the form marked with an asterisk indicating that they're mandatory? It's asking for phone number too?! Thanks, but no thanks. This is not for me.
- lsh 8y agoagreed. "Free* ... ... * not really"
- number6 8y agoAlso forced consent
- auslander 8y ago> This is not for me. I don't recall last time I've put real info in these forms. Protonmail worked just fine.
- dspillett 8y agoThis looks like a job for Mr Fake McFakeFake, CFO[•], Fake Enterprises, New Faketon, Fakeshire. [•] Chief Fakery Officer
- ntock 8y agoWhy are half the comments complaining about giving name and email? Thanks for sharing this!
- Nikkau 8y agoThey thought it was free.
- jeandejean 8y agoWell if I don't pay and only fill a form, it seems free to me.
- Nikkau 8y agoThat's the trick.
- krrrh 8y agoI’m sad they didn’t get what the expected, but happy that there are still groups of people getting on the internet for the first time.
- decebalus1 8y agoIs this a proper ebook or one of those bullshit O'Reilly leaflets focused on a particular technology?
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoActual book. 344 pages.
- frippz 8y agoSadly only in PDF format as far as I can tell.
- auslander 8y agoKubernetes is an overkill for 90% of systems. The hype will die off eventually, but not before ruining fair number of projects. Death by overengineering. I wonder how things even worked before containers :)
- deleted 8y ago[deleted]
- a_imho 8y agoWhat are some example where you think Kubernetes is the right choice?
- auslander 8y agoWhen you have to run many different apps from 3rd party devs, having standard deployment format helps. Or on-demand apps, like ETL jobs. Containers offer not much benefit if you're cloud native - you already have VMs and heaps of automation APIs.
- geggam 8y agoGoogle, Facebook, AOL , Oath/Y! When you have a large scale platform with millions of users and you need to add / remove / change services at some marketing teams whim
- cgrs 8y agoI used a disposable email service to receive the ebook. This is the permalink to the attached ebook: https://rainmail.xyz/attachments/nginx@filerpost.xyz/143/CloudNativeDevopswithKubernetesfullbook.pdf https://rainmail.xyz/attachments/nginx@filerpost.xyz/143/Clo...
- raincom 8y agoAccess denied!!
- cgrs 8y agoYeah, it seems it got deleted. I switched to another disposable email provider, you can check again the link.
- mielecmichal 8y agoYou saved a lot of Nginx money and cloud resources. They won't be sending newsletter to some 10minutes or spam only mailboxes.

- m-p-3 8y agoUpvote for IPFS. Pinned the resource on my node to spread out the load, thanks!
- nodesocket 8y agoReally, you are getting something of great value for free in return for your e-mail, and feel obligated to try and contort and "screw" them? This is the exact sort of mentality that frustrates me as an entrepreneur. If you don't like the terms, then simply hit back. You're not entitled to anything. end of rant
- Rasyidsugar 8y agoHopfully this ebook can help those who want to build modern applications in the cloud. Regard Writer on https://www.tolongtangtugas.web.id https://www.tolongtangtugas.web.id
- dacm 8y agoForcing you to give consent to receive a newsletter in order to download the ebook is not the way to go
- gautam1168 8y agoi will not read an o'riley book if you paid me to do it
- avereveard 8y ago"in exchange of your identity" can't we stop calling confusing this with "free"?
- markoa 8y agoHere's a lengthy interview with John Arundel, an author of the book: https://semaphoreci.com/blog/2019/02/14/a-reality-check-about-cloud-native-devops-john-arundel-interview.html https://semaphoreci.com/blog/2019/02/14/a-reality-check-abou... You can get a lot from it without giving away any of your personal or fake information. :)
