Summary

With readily available services, support, and tools, Kubernetes has become a foundation for digital transformation and cloud-native development, but it brings significant security challenges such as breaches and supply chain attacks.
This updated edition equips you with defense strategies to protect your applications and infrastructure while understanding the attacker mindset, including tactics like container escapes and exploiting vulnerabilities to compromise clusters. The author distills his 25+ years of experience to guide you through Kubernetes components, architecture, and networking, addressing authentication, authorization, image scanning, resource monitoring, and traffic sniffing. You’ll implement security controls using third-party plugins (krew) and tools like Falco, Tetragon, and Cilium. You’ll also secure core components, such as the kube-apiserver, CoreDNS, and kubelet, while hardening images, managing security contexts, and applying PodSecurityPolicy. Through practical examples, the book teaches advanced techniques like redirecting traffic from misconfigured clusters to rogue pods and enhances your support incident response with effective cluster monitoring and log analysis.
By the end of the book, you'll have a solid grasp of container security as well as the skills to defend your clusters against evolving threats.
Available since: 06/30/2025.
Print length: 390 pages.

  • Spherical Wave Function - Inflating the Spherical Moment - cover

    This book explores the concept of the Spherical Wave Function and its implications for our understanding of magnetic fields, gravity, and quantum mechanics. It proposes a new perspective on magnetic fields by introducing a neutral zone in addition to the traditional north and south poles. EXISTENCE OF THE SPHERICAL WAVE FUNCTION: The document argues for the existence of the Spherical Wave Function at the absolute value of zero, suggesting that it is integral to various physical phenomena such as magnetic fields, gravity, and the propagation of matter through space. IMPLICATIONS FOR GRAVITY AND MATTER: The neutral zone and the Spherical Wave Function are proposed to explain the propagation of matter and gravitational forces, suggesting that these concepts are fundamental to understanding the physical world. LATTICE FRAMEWORK AND ATOMIC STRUCTURE: The document delves into the lattice framework and individual lattice structures, explaining how they propagate outward and inward, creating a layering effect that gives rise to matter and energy. INFLATING THE SPHERICAL MOMENT: It describes the process of "inflating the spherical moment," in which energy and particles propagate through the superstructure, maintaining equilibrium while allowing for the creation of photons and other particles. UNIVERSAL AND QUANTUM-SIZED SUPERSTRUCTURES: It posits that the Spherical Wave Function and the neutral zone are fractal in nature, extending from the quantum level to the entire universe, and that these concepts can explain phenomena such as dark matter and the structure of the universe.

    Exploring the St Croix River...

    The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Exploring the St. Croix River Valley provides a tour of the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. Environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats and shows us myriad ways to get out and enjoy by hiking, paddling, biking, skiing, fishing, and more. As she travels from headwaters to tributaries, Hong takes in the Arcola High Bridge (with a side of freshwater mussel lore), searches for the perfect lakeside supper club, and talks to wildlife pros and volunteers restoring prairies, oak savanna, streams, and woodland habitats. 
 
 
 
With stops at Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy, Sunfish Lake Park, and the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, listeners will learn about the landscape and its history—groundwater geology and riverside land formations, ephemeral wildflowers and forests lost to logging—and the local fauna such as skinks and osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, grouse, and elk. Along the way, Hong has her own stories to tell, from paddling the Namekagon and wild ricing on the Moosehorn to planting trees with school kids. With its mix of stories and practical information, Exploring the St. Croix River Valley makes an engaging companion for anyone venturing to this extraordinary place.

    Write Smarter. Publish Faster. Stay in Control. 
 
AI Author Advantage is a practical playbook for indie authors, self-publishers, and solo writers who want to save time and improve their publishing workflow with AI. 
 
Independent publishing asks one person to do the work of many. This book shows how AI can help with the repetitive, mechanical, and first-pass tasks that slow you down, so you can focus on the creative and strategic decisions that matter most. 
 
Inside, you’ll learn how to: 
 
Choose the right AI tools for brainstorming, drafting, editing, research, and marketing 
 
Build a lean tool stack that avoids overwhelm and duplicate effort 
 
Create a repeatable book production workflow 
 
Use templates and checklists to reduce decision fatigue 
 
Think like a systems-minded author instead of a task-juggler 
 
Work with more speed, clarity, and confidence 
 
Clear, instructional, and grounded in the realities of self-publishing, this guide helps you use AI to produce better books faster while staying authentic, organized, and in control.

  • The Accidental Ecosystem - People and Wildlife in American Cities - cover

    The Accidental Ecosystem -...

    The Accidental Ecosystem tells the story of how cities across the United States went from having little wildlife to filling, dramatically and unexpectedly, with wild creatures. Today, many of these cities have more wild animals living in them than at any time in at least the past 150 years. Why have so many cities—the most artificial and human-dominated of all Earth's ecosystems—grown rich with wildlife, even as wildlife has declined in most of the rest of the world? And what does this paradox mean for people, wildlife, and nature on our increasingly urban planet? 
 
 
  
The Accidental Ecosystem is the first book to explain this phenomenon from a deep historical perspective, and its focus includes a broad range of species and cities. Digging into the natural history of cities and unpacking our conception of what it means to be wild, this book provides fascinating context for why animals are thriving more in cities than outside of them. Considering what it means to live in diverse, multispecies communities and exploring how human and non-human members of communities might thrive together, Peter S. Alagona goes beyond the tension between those who embrace the surge in urban wildlife and those who think of animals as invasive or as public safety hazards.

  • In the Modern Tower of Babel - Why Facts and Evidence Matter - cover

    In the Modern Tower of Babel -...

    In the original fable of the Tower of Babel, as punishment for attempting to build a tower into the heavens, the people were relegated to an inability to communicate, each speaking a different language. Hence the term "to Babel." The Modern Tower of Babel refers not to multiple languages but to the increasing spread of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news. We are increasingly disadvantaged in our ability to establish fact from fiction and truth from lies. This confusion is leading to the chaos we now see across many aspects of society: In medicine, should we vaccinate our children or not? In the health of our environment, are global warming and climate change a reality, or are they a hoax? And, of course, in politics, where anything seems permissible and truth is often discarded in favor of retaining power. But all is not lost. If we are smart enough to use modern technologies; such as AI; intelligently and with proper regulation, we can harness the wealth of information available to us and leverage modern tools to distinguish fact from fiction and rigorously evaluate evidence. But that will only happen if we use AI properly, and given our current course, that outcome is far from assured.
