Kubernetes has become the dominant container orchestrator, but many organizations that have recently adopted this system are still struggling to run actual production workloads. In this practical book, four software engineers from VMware bring their shared experiences running Kubernetes in production and provide insight on key challenges and best practices. The brilliance of Kubernetes is how configurable and extensible the system is, from pluggable runtimes to storage integrations. For platform engineers, software developers, infosec, network engineers, storage engineers, and others, this book examines how the path to success with Kubernetes involves a variety of technology, pattern, and abstraction considerations. With this book, you will: Understand what the path to production looks like when using Kubernetes Examine where gaps exist in your current Kubernetes strategy Learn Kubernetes's essential building blocks--and their trade-offs Understand what's involved in making Kubernetes a viable location for applications Learn better ways to navigate the cloud native landscape

Mountains have been a central defining theme in Switzerland, as they have elsewhere in the world. This has fascinated artists and, since the earliest invention of the medium, photographers. Today mountain chains are seen differently than they once were, recognized as having an unsettling fragility in the face of their occupation by humans. What remains of the myths linked to mountains? Are mountains still a source of inspiration for today's artists? How do perceptions of them shift as their populations disappear, and cultural references are increasingly centred on an urban existence? High Altitude provides some of the answers to these questions. This book is a companion to the Swiss photography festival, Alt. +1000, held in Rossiniere in the foothills of the Alps. "High Altitude" features works by contemporary photographers who record mountains in their various and multiple states: spectacular, sublime, domesticated, constructed (even artificial!) and frightening. Artists from around the world, many of whom live far from a mountainous environment, celebrate and challenge deeply rooted myths, and individually interpret this elusive landscape. In addition, well-known photographer Olaf Otto Becker, renowned for his views of Greenland, created a portrait of a natural park close to Rossiniere. Becker's work is breathtakingly beautiful, but its beauty nonetheless reminds us that nature is being radically modified by climate change.

Un Manual de Pastoral Juvenil es lo que pretende ser este volumen. Sin abordar aspectos más prácticos del hacer, marca los pilares de una pastoral juvenil teológicamente bien centrada. Dos ejes transversales que están como fondo en todo el libro son: una buena pastoral exige unos cimientos sólidos teológicos y educativos; una buena pastoral juvenil es prioritaria en la Iglesia hoy. No es posible rejuvenecer la Iglesia sin la presencia de los jóvenes en ella. No es posible ser creíbles sin vivir juntos la profecía y la mística de la fraternidad. Una Iglesia que no conecta con los jóvenes de hoy se anquilosa y da síntomas de no escuchar al Espíritu.Este Manual, que en el original italiano promete un segundo volumen, está estructurado en dos partes. La primera aclara tres puntos: la fuerza del Espíritu, la evangelización, la educación. La segunda propone: el objetivo de la pastoral juvenil, los criterios para hacer buena pastoral juvenil, y los ámbitos de la pastoral juvenil.El Sí

El ensayo más célebre de uno de los intelectuales y pensadores más decisivos de la historia del arte contemporánea.Las páginas del presente libro abarcan un vastísimo período que va de la era clásica a la contemporánea. Sin limitarse únicamente a señalar y comentar textos pertenecientes explícitamente a la denominada literatura artística, esta rica y amplia investigación ofrece una pormenorizada historia de las ideas, de las teorías, de las apreciaciones, de la toma de posición que atañe al arte figurativo desde hace siglos.

Tal conflict

Mark Sandoval—resolutely arrogant, covered head to foot in precise geometric scarring, and still marginally famous after Hollywood made an Oscar-winner based off his memoir years before—has been strongly advised by his lawyer to leave the country following a drunken and potentially fatal hit and run. When a woman sends Sandoval grainy footage of what appears to be a unicorn, he quickly hires an assistant and the two head off to the woman's farm in Hvíldarland, a tiny, remote island off the coast of Iceland. When they arrive on the island and discover that both a military base and the surrounding álagablettur, the nearby woods, are teeming with strangeness and secrets, they begin to realize that a supposed unicorn sighting is the least of their worries.

During the Ptolemaic period, Egyptian temples were divided into three ranks: first, second and third class. There was no trace of this classification of sacred buildings in the papyri of the Roman period when only the most important temples were classified by the epithet logima hiera. This work aims to understand the rules according to which Egyptian sacred buildings were classified and how these first, second and third-class temples were planned and arranged. To do this, an integrated analysis of different kinds of sources was carried out: all the Graeco-Roman papyri and the inscriptions, which contain rank epithets, were examined and different archaeological data about the temples of the Fayyum region were investigated. Based on these sources, it was possible to put forward different hypotheses on the administration and architectural aspects of these sacred buildings.
