About the book

Much of what is taught today as cloud architecture is tool operation. Here the path is reversed: each technology appears after the computing fundamental that makes it intelligible.

Every pattern comes with its cost stated and with the conditions under which it stops paying off. Kubernetes is in the book; and so is the section on when not to use it. The book steps back to the underlying concepts — distributed systems, modularity, process isolation, configuration management and reasoning about failure — before discussing microservices, containers, orchestration and continuous delivery.
