Even though I haven't finished reading the book yet, but I'm really enjoying it! The author's explanations are clear and engaging, especially for someone new to the concepts. I've found the coverage of best practices and advanced features (like HA etcd clusters and advanced security policies) particularly valuable. It's definitely a great book for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of Kubernetes!
