  2. Kubernetes Context Engineering
    Kubernetes Context Engineering
    Reconstructing Operational Meaning from Cluster State
    Luca Sepe

    Kubernetes exposes plenty of state, but operators still have to reconstruct operational meaning from scattered Pods, Services, EndpointSlices, Events, PVCs, owner references, and status fields. This ebook uses `kctx`, a small read-only Kubernetes context engine, to show how deterministic entities, relations, signals, graphs, namespace snapshots, CRD adapters, and stable JSON contracts can turn raw cluster data into reusable context for humans, tools, and AI agents. It is written for SREs, platform engineers, Kubernetes operators, infrastructure developers, and AI tooling builders who want better primitives than raw YAML and improvised troubleshooting pipelines.

  3. Dynatrace
    Dynatrace
    A Student's Guide to Modern Application Monitoring
    Sudhanshu Jaiswal

    Your apps are failing. You just don’t know it yet.What if you could see every crash, slowdown, and bottleneck before your users do? Understanding Dynatrace pulls back the curtain on AI-powered observability—turning blind spots into actionable insights. Stop guessing. Start observing.

  4. GitOps the Hard Way, with Argo CD
    GitOps the Hard Way, with Argo CD
    Build Real GitOps Pipelines From Empty Clusters to Automated Deploys
    Aymen El Amri

    Go from an empty cluster to a self-deploying GitOps pipeline, doing every step yourself: Applications, sync policy, hooks, RBAC, Helm, ApplicationSets, and a setup that ships every branch on push. You finish with a pipeline you can explain line by line, not a demo you watched run.

  5. 面向所有人的 Kubernetes
    面向所有人的 Kubernetes
    从零构建云原生数据中心
    Joel Bryan Juliano

    大多数 Kubernetes 书籍教你 YAML。这本书教你构建一个数据中心。 你从 #!/usr/bin/env bash 开始。最终用一个命令就能配置、重载和拆除一个完整的多服务集群。没有魔法。没有黑盒。只有你、Bash,以及你亲手构建的云原生平台。

  6. The End of AI Vendor Lock-In

    Your first AI integration is usually simple: one provider, one SDK, one model. Then production happens. Costs rise. Rate limits appear. Teams need access control. Security wants API keys centralized. Product wants to test better models. Finance wants to know who is spending what. Suddenly, the real problem is not calling an LLM. The real problem is operating AI as shared infrastructure. The End of AI Vendor Lock-In shows how LiteLLM helps teams build provider-agnostic, resilient, cost-aware AI systems that can route across models, manage fallbacks, track spend, enforce budgets, and reduce dependency on any single provider. If you are building AI products that need to survive real-world production pressure, this book is for you.

  7. The Agentic Engineer
    The Agentic Engineer
    Durable Principles for Building Production Systems with LLMs in the Loop
    Victor Velazquez

    A leader at a company opens Slack one morning. The brief their virtual employee wrote looks normal: same headers, same prose voice, same cadence as every other brief that week. The last line ends mid-sentence. The API returned `stop_reason: "max_tokens"`. The system shipped it anyway. No exception. No log line. No retry. That bug doesn't look like the normal kind. This book is about why, and what to build instead.

  8. Master Guide to Cyber Security
    Master Guide to Cyber Security
    A Comprehensive Enterprise Cybersecurity Blueprint for Modern Organisations
    TW

    Modern cybersecurity is no longer just about firewalls and antivirus. It is about architecture, governance, secure software delivery, cloud resilience, Zero Trust, AI security, and operational discipline.The Master Guide to Cyber Security brings these domains together into one practical enterprise-focused reference designed for modern security professionals, architects, engineers, and technology leaders.Built around real-world frameworks, secure-by-design principles, and current threat realities, this guide provides a structured roadmap for building secure systems in cloud-native and enterprise environments.

  9. The Heavenly Gates
    The Heavenly Gates
    Tom Gilkison

    AI writes code faster than you can review it. This book gives you the gates: automated guardrails that catch bugs, enforce standards, and verify behavior before bad code reaches production. Stop being the last line of defense. Build the gates that catch the slop first, so you design and verify instead of proofread.

  10. Practical Observability with OpenTelemetry

  13. System Monitoring
    System Monitoring
    A Refresher
    Sudhanshu Jaiswal

    Production is down. Dashboards look “green.” Users are still complaining. What went wrong?Traditional monitoring often shows what the system is doing, but not what users are experiencing.This guide introduces you to two powerful mental models:RED Metrics → What your users feelUSE Metrics → What your system is doingTogether, they give you a complete picture—because symptoms and root causes are not the same .Inside this book, you’ll learn how to:Detect issues before users report themCorrelate latency spikes with infrastructure saturationMove from metrics chaos to meaningful observabilityDesign monitoring for modern distributed systemsIf you’ve ever:Struggled to debug production issuesFelt overwhelmed by too many metricsWanted a structured monitoring approachThis book is your shortcut to thinking like an SRE and system architect.
