What do you want to learn? If you want to know how to use Kubernetes or extend it with custom resources or APIs then I would suggest using EKS/GKE. If you need to run Kubernetes on hardware and understand how to set it up from scratch then old computers is a good idea.

Is the highlander code available? Would love to see the code and possibly use it in personal projects.

I don’t have any plans at this time. I will want to keep the book updated and maybe extend it or publish a 2nd edition but that will be up to the publisher to decide if it’s worth it.

Feel free to email me. I’d love to hear more. Justin @ Linux.com

We tried to keep the content as generic as possible with no product specifics to give the information a longer lifespan. I would be surprised if the book still sells double digit copies per month after the first year.

Thank you. This is why I need editors.

Google is going all in on progressive web apps and currently working on native container support on ChromeOS. I wouldn’t be surprised if by the end of the year it’d be dumb to NOT have a Chromebook. Especially if Apple can’t stabilize macOS and keeps adding unwanted features to their laptops.

Thanks for the write up and information. Do you plan on pushing these code changes upstream to the prometheus node_exporter project or will you carry the patches yourself?

Thanks for pointing that out. I updated the title so it only applies to k8s < 1.6

I would much rather my systems be down than up and unhealthy. Being down is clear and easier to fix. Unhealthy requires a lot more knowledge about the system and what “healthy” means.
