To my wife, Kim, for always being supportive and understanding of my technology addiction I couldn't have finished this book without your support. To my mother, Adele, and in loving memory of my father, Gene (Gene-O!), for everything they taught me to never give up, and that I can do anything that I set my mind to.

- Scott Surovich

To my wife, for supporting me in the establishment of Tremolo Security and my giving up a full-time salary to build this company; to my sons for keeping me on my toes; to my mom for raising me and giving me my persistence, and in memory of my dad, who pushed me to be my own boss.

The pace of innovation in our industry never seems to slow down. The container and Kubernetes communities exemplify this concept. From its initial release in mid-2014, Kubernetes has not only grown exponentially as a project, but it's also revolutionized industries around software development, infrastructure, security, and continuous delivery. In a few short years, Kubernetes and the concepts that power it have changed how we'll deliver technology for the next 10 years or more.

When talking with customers, I find the struggle with staying up to date can be one of the biggest challenges when taking advantage of containers and Kubernetes. The most useful tool to keep up with this constant change is a strong understanding of the fundamental concepts and tools that make them possible. If you understand how Kubernetes essentially works, the frequent growth and changes in the Kubernetes ecosystem become tools to be leveraged instead of changes to be fretted over. Unfortunately, the only way to have that level of understanding with a complex system such as Kubernetes is to have experience using it in multiple situations.

Marc and Scott bring a mountain of experience to Kubernetes and Docker: the Complete Guide. The practical examples built from their experience help you separate the signal from the noise to master that fundamental knowledge. When you understand the relationships between the components that make up Kubernetes, container runtimes such as Docker, and the host operating systems, you begin to grow the skills that make containers the revolutionary technology they've become.

As you read the chapters and work through this book's examples in your own environment, please take the occasional minute to step back and think through how what you're doing can bring you practical value and help solve the challenges you face. Kubernetes and containers have changed the landscape of our industry because they provide a more effective way to bring value to our end users. Focusing on that value will help you incorporate it into your own solutions and make that promise real for your own end users.

All the best.
