To my mother, Chusita, and my father, Arnaldo, my friends in the cloud native ecosystem, my colleagues at Yalo, and my students at USAC University, who have motivated and supported me throughout the process of writing this book.

Also, I would like to thank the Packt editors, who worked with me to ensure high-quality content.

Sergio Mndez is a systems engineer and professor of operating systems in Guatemala at USAC University. His work at the university is related to teaching and researching cloud native technologies. He has experience working on DevOps and MLOps, using open source technologies at work. He is involved with several open source communities, including CNCF communities, promoting students in the CNCF ecosystem, and he hosts a cloud native meetup in Guatemala. He has been a speaker at several conferences, such as OSCON, KubeCon, WTF is Cloud Native?, and Kubernetes Community Days. He is also a Linkerd Ambassador.

Id like to thank the team at Packt for giving me the opportunity to write my first book about something that has been wholly enjoyable. Most thanks, however, go to my reviewers and friends, Tiffany Jachja and Santiago Torres, for supporting me by reviewing this book during my busy professional life.

Santiago Torres-Arias is an assistant professor at Purdue Universitys School of Electrical and Computer Engineering department. His interests include binary analysis, cryptography, distributed systems, and security-oriented software engineering. His current research focuses on securing the software development life cycle, cloud security, and update systems. Santiago is a member of the Arch Linux security team and has contributed patches to F/OSS projects at various degrees of scale, including Git, the Linux kernel, Reproducible Builds, NeoMutt, and the Briar project. Santiago is also a maintainer of the Cloud Native Computing Foundations project The Update Framework (TUF), as well as the lead of the in-toto project.

Id like to thank the broader CNCF community for encouraging engagement from various perspectives and walks of life. In particular, Id like to thank the leads of TAG-Security, as well as the Supply Chain Security Workgroup for all their input and feedback throughout the years. Outside of CNCF, Id like to thank my colleagues and students at Purdue University for fostering a welcoming and truth-seeking environment.

Tiffany Jachja is an accomplished writer, speaker, and technologist, helping teams and other technologists deliver their best work. She brings her experiences in DevOps and cloud native application development to the data science field as an engineering leader. In her tenure within technology, shes led the successful delivery of technologies across various spaces and industries, including academia, government, finance, enterprise, start-ups, and media. She now helps people worldwide deliver their best work to create the success, recognition, and wealth they desire.
