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.

Unique format for a book, they have hands-on exercises mixed in with the reading, which makes the chapters fun to go through while reinforcing the chapter topics. I like this style of technical book and wish more would adopt a similar flow. The book does go into the Enterprise world, detailing topics like using JWT's for authentication, Impersonation, Auditing, and even metallb with a full dynamic DNS! Can you find these topics elsewhere? You could, if you wanted to browse dozens of blogs that include a 10,000 foot overview. Why do that when its all in a single book, with the same views to bring them all together. I recommend this book to anyone in the K8s world.

There are no shortages of Kubernetes books on the market today, it's the hot technology in today's world, which makes for a big job market. Based on experience, from trying to hire people for our Kubernetes team, there is a small pool of people who know how to integrate a Kubernetes cluster with external systems. Topics in this book directly map to and answer 80% of the interview questions we ask potential candidates. Nobody that we have interviewed has been able to answer more than 50% of the questions we ask. Questions like what is an aggregated role in Kubernetes always lead to blank stares. Even that's covered in the book. The fact that the book contains so many answers to so many of our interview questions makes it one of my favorite Kubernetes books on the market.

This book covers most of the topics when an enterprise would like to adopt Kubernetes. What’s more, you hardly can find a coverage on these topics in the market!I love the layout this book - it has 3 sections. Firstly, it starts with docker - the fundamental of the Kubernetes. Then, a boot camp and how to get a handy KinD to get hand on experience. Finally, the best part of the book - Running Kubernetes in enterprise.Also, I would recommend read this book more than one time. Personally, I will get something new when reading it again!I am sure the book definitely will bring you to another level understanding of Kubernetes and give you the best of your money :)

Really does cover Kubernetes in the enterprise well, going over topics and tools that aren't covered in other books.

An EXCELLENT Enterprise grade Kubernetes book! Must Read and Strongly Recommend it. It will help you understand how to INTEGRATE Kubernetes with your existing Enterprise systems, e.g. Authentication/Authorization with Microsoft Active Directory, Logging/Observability with Splunk/Elasticsearch/Fluentd, Security Compliance/Auditing with Sysdig Falco, RBAC, OIDC, OPA, PodSecurityPolicies, Networking with DNS, Layer 4/7 LB, Backup and Restore with VMware/Heptio Velero/ARK, CI/CD GitOps pipeline with GitLab, Tekton, ArgoCD, OpenUnison, build a DEV env with KIND and Deploy Apps with Helm !A lot of detail steps/yaml/code samples to help you setup, install, configure and test ALL these above important Enterprise Add-On critical to onboard Kubernetes platform while meeting the strict Enterprise Grade requirements in Security, ID Federation, Compliance, Auditing, Business Continuity Plan (BCP), High Availability, CI/CD, GitOps !3 sections:1/ Chap 1-3: Docker and Container Essentials – basics and you can skip if you know it already2/ Chap 4-6: k8s Dev clusters with KIND and k8s basic objects and services. KIND is better than mini-kube, so try it if you are not familiar with KIND!3/ Chap 7-END: VERY IMPORTANT. Try to read carefully and setup ALL of these important Add-ons to “ENTERPRISE GRADE” your k8s env! I have CKA and read/write many of these in the past few years. Great to see them GET ORGANIZED ALL in this GREAT book. I learn a lot NEW add-ons/tools in this section. There are many great tools, e.g. audit2rbac, Sysdig kube-psp-advisor, etc... The MOST IMPORTANT and DIFFICULT is the INTEGRATION with your EXISTING ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS! This section is SURE a good HELP!The only suggestion is on p.118 - newer k8s , e.g. v. 1.20 latest does not create pod/deploy/job per --restart option as in older k8s v.1.17 !
