It’s a busy time with books at the moment. I am excited, and pleased to hear that Fernando Harris‘ first book project has been published. It can be found on amazon.com and amazon.co.uk among sites.

Having been fortunate enough to be a reviewer of the book, I can say that what makes this book different from others that examine cloud-native architecture is its holistic approach to the challenge. Successful adoption of cloud-native approaches isn’t just technical (although this is an important element that the book addresses); it also considers organizational, processes, and people dimensions. Without these dimensions, the best technology in the world will only be successful as a result of chance rather than by intent.

As a result, this book guides and connects content to the Kubernetes technical content (technical how-to books we typically see from publishers like Manning and O’Reilly) and the more organizational leadership books that you might expect from IT Revolution (Gene Kim et al.).

A read I’d recommend to any architect or technical lead who wants to understand the different aspects of achieving cloud-native adoption rather than just the mastery of an individual technology.
