Thomas Vitale did it, it was a great book with a great repository as companion. The book takes you through everything you need to create and deploy a modern Spring application. The skills that this book tries to develop are just perfect, every company is looking for this and the book gives you a nice overview and in depth look on some technologies and how to deploy it from start to finish, real good read and reference when working with Spring and Kubernetes.

An incredible way to learn how to create microservices using the best practices to deploy the application using Kubernetes.

This book covers all aspects of building Cloud-Native applications today, from essential properties and best practices, setting up development environments for cloud-native, to using various tools from the Spring ecosystem for microservices architecture, and finally, to packaging and deploying with some of today's popular tools and trends.
The content is well-rounded, covering topics at just the right depth, showcasing the author's solid expertise in building Java-based projects. The language of the book is incredibly smooth, and the diagrams provided are intuitive and easy to understand, which greatly enhances the learning experience.
I believe this book serves not only as a knowledge refresher for programmers and architects who want to understand the shifts in methods, tools, and thinking brought about by the Cloud-Native wave, but also as a handy reference guide to consult when building your own projects

You will definitely learn a thing or two about Spring Cloud, Docker, Kubernetes and GitOps if you read this book.
I never knew it but there's a whole infrastructure of Jenkins-like continuous integration infrastructure at Github. You can set up a pipeline to run your unit tests, build your artifact and make it available as a Docker image on the Github Docker repository.
This book is going on 2 years old and a fair amount of stuff has changed in that time. For instance, there is no longer such a project as Spring Native, instead native (GraalVM) support is baked in to Spring Boot 3. There has been a lot of churn in the Spring Cloud suite and, for example, Spring Microservices in Action which came out in 2021 is a very different kind of book.
I was expecting/hoping for more Kubernetes. Through maybe 3/4 of the book, the author is using docker-compose to bring up the suite of applications. The focus on Kubernetes is pretty strong in chapters 7 and 14-16.
There is a strong focus on best practices throughout the book and the author always indicates how the design decisions he is making are motivated by industry best practices.
I liked how, any time the author gave instructions on bringing something up (e.g. kubernetes cluster, docker-compose configuration), he always followed that with instructions to shut it down.
