Yeah, it seems it got deleted. I switched to another disposable email provider, you can check again the link.

You saved a lot of Nginx money and cloud resources. They won't be sending newsletter to some 10minutes or spam only mailboxes.

Really, 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

Well unless you plan to read their future marketing emails you've "screwed" them anyway, leaving the email or not.

I 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 pie…

Kubernetes is hard because its trying to solve a hard problem. Agreed that cluster management itself is hard but GKE has been somewhat nicer to use. If you can convince your organization to use GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine), your life will become simpler. Power of Kubernetes with none (almost!) of the pain.

Yeah, and for most of us it's a problem we don't actually have.

Use of these technologies seems aspirational to me. It's a kind of cargo-culting: as if using the methods of the software giants, will make your company into a software giant.

Step 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 inf…

"It takes well over a million dollars just in engineer salary to get k8s up and running from scratch. And you still might not get there." - Cindy Sridharan[1](https://twitter.com/copyconstruct/status/1020880388464377856...)

That said, I'm running a few GKE clusters now with an 18-month old production codebase, and its kind of been a pleasure. That's a good portion of a million dollars in my pocket, no matter how the start-up fares after its done ;-)

Step 2 in your comment reads like poetry. The sheer length of the sentence and the variety in vocabulary creates a rising, racing energy that forces you to stop and smile before you get to the end. Beautifully written! I’m going to save a copy for myself.

Im 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.

Really? 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.

honestly, 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.

Do they run on kubernetes though?

Google runs on its own container system, Borg. Kubernetes is a free reimplementation of Borg sponsored by Google.

So one of them rounded up?

I don't have hands on experience with kubernetes and a quite a bit skeptical because of its supposed complexity. Would be interested in success stories though where kubernetes magic was the much needed secret sauce.
