Also read this book last month and it gave me a nice overview. But when doing all the examples you notice, that even with the updated second edition from the end of 2019, many of them are outdated. Not a big problem to solve, just small differences, but then you realize that Kubernetes is a fast moving target. A book about technology will always have this problem, but the K8s space seems to move especially fast currently.
Now I’m also more leaning towards the official docs as a recommendation, because they should always be more up to date... nevertheless, “Kubernetes: Up and Running” took my fear off this (at first) complex architecture. In the end, K8s is not that difficult to understand and the involved building blocks make sense, after you get the hang of it.

By the way, Microsoft is giving away “Kubernetes: Up and Running” second edition for free currently: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/kubernetes-up-an...
