With only 260 pages you could worry that this book is a bit shallow and not that useful, but you will be surprised. The amount of information that can fit onto 260 pages when you condense it is surprising. There are really not many uncessesary words here!
On the other hand, of course, it is actually limited how much information you can squeeze onto 260 pages ;)
This book will give you a head start, though. It will enable you to know what you don't know, how to ask the right questions. It will make you aware of both the general picture and a lot of gritty details.
To be honest: There a _lot_ of spelling and grammatical errors, but I didn't come by any that made it incomprehensible or even just confusing. And, probably due to there being three authors, the content can seem a bit unordered at times.
I still give the book a rare four stars, simply because it is mostly 100% information.
I do hope that the authors will write new editions, perhaps once every year or so.

It was OK. As a short overview of Docker, Kubernetes, AKS, CI/CD. For me it was too theoretical, but can be good book to start AKS journey.
