Kubernetes in Action, 2nd Edition (Manning)

Kubernetes in Action, Second Edition lays out a complete introduction to container technologies and containerized applications along with practical tips for efficient deployment and operation.

Marko Lukša, Kevin Conner

If you’ve spent any time learning Kubernetes over the past few years, there’s a good chance Kubernetes in Action was somewhere along the way.

The second edition is now out, and it picks up where the original left off—updated for how people actually build and run systems on Kubernetes today.

This isn’t a quick overview. The book walks through Kubernetes from the ground up, starting with a simple application and expanding it step by step. Along the way, it digs into how the platform works under the hood: the API, how resources are managed, what really happens during deployment, and why certain patterns hold up better in production than others.

A few things you’ll get into:

  • How to get a cluster up and running, then make it do useful work

  • What’s going on when you deploy containers across nodes

  • How configuration, storage, and networking fit together

  • Ways to update applications without taking them offline

  • What it takes to secure a cluster beyond the basics

The first edition helped a lot of developers move from “I can run kubectl” to actually understanding the system. This version leans even harder into that goal, with updated examples and deeper coverage of how Kubernetes behaves in real environments.

If you’re working with containerized applications and want a clearer mental model of what Kubernetes is doing for you (and sometimes to you), this is a solid place to spend some time.
