I’ve recently been provided a digital copy of “Platform Engineering on Kubernetes” for an honest review. This is my review in full.

Platform engineering is the art of giving developers and non-developers the tools to be self sufficient, secure, and productive in their use of organization sanctioned platforms. Platform engineering strives for sane and secure defaults by eating the complexity for average consumers of the platforms being used. This is all done in an effort to harness the powers of modern developers and tech savvy business users for the purpose of adding value to the business and reducing technical debt.
