What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

When reading articles, tutorials and even books, that is very common that at the end of the reading you struggle about how to translate that to a real production situation. Believe me, this book is different. You get to the end with a sense that you are very likely to know what are the next steps to apply what you learned to your existent or new projects. And this means a lot. The book has some great balance from history, concepts, example and practice.Although there is a lot of cont to grasp and the book is not exhaustive about the subjects, it gives you the most important information and real-world scenarios. You will be confident about the path you need to go to improve your local environment, to prepare a CI/CD pipeline and ship your product to production with a high-quality workflow. The authors are careful enough to list different solutions and approaches because there is not a single tool that solves all the problems and this book give you enough to understand which stack could fit better to your software needs.If you want to know more about Docker on your local environment, how containers relate to production, container orchestration with Docker swarm or Kubernetes, container image publishing, etc, you need this book.I highly recommend it.

The most appealing chapters for me were about Security. Docker for Developers provides an introduction to security then goes onto describing high-level concepts over multiple chapters. Citing resources online for further understanding into specific security topics. Helping the reader understand the breadth of considerations of what goes into security with docker when deploying. Wrapping understanding of the ecosystem that exists for different software solutions used to lock down systems running docker and protect against malicious intent

I ch bin ganz begeistert.

The first section, chapters 5, 6 and 7 will look back on the history behind containerization. They will give you a very nice and humble introduction to Docker and container orchestration with a series of very minimalist and practical examples which lay down the foundation upon which the rest of the examples in the book will grow. I personally found them a very pleasant reading. From my experience as a professional developer working in projects built around Docker, the basic tools taught in these chapters pretty much sum up all that is needed to perform most if not all of the day-to-day tasks you may find in your own projects.Chapters 8, 9, 10 and 11 are going to give you a glance over what is necessary to get a professional Kubernetes cluster up on AWS with examples built on top of the work done thus far. There is a lot to digest in that and the knowledge is passed in a much faster pace, with less context as opposed to the previous chapters of the book. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of valuable information for those who haven't been exposed before to the Kubernetes and the wider ops world. However I didn't found them to be as didactic as the material I read to that point due to the very nature of the subject which is way denser, having a lot of non-trivial concepts to grasp which are not straightforward to tinker with. They will nonetheless give you a hands on exposure to the current industry best-practices, expand your perspective over the subject and leave you in a good place where you can continue learning on your own.The remaining pages will then finally give you a complete look on what to keep in mind when it comes to security in a container-based environment. You'll enjoy the tips in this third and last section which is full of practical advice to keep you, your company and your users protected from silly mistakes and the most common threats. You will learn about the security model around Docker and how to monitor your deployments with an eye on security. Overall the book seemed pretty worthy. As a developer myself, with daily tasks not really focused on most of the topics put forth in depth here, I found the reading very interesting. It has certainly improved my understanding around the topics covered. I recommend it.
