This is really good. Reformat it and turn it in to a book. Market it as essential reading for anyone running or thinking about running kubernetes or vault.

Edit: actually this is way more in depth than is needed for k8s. But, I think that's a good target market for a book you can sell like candy for $25.

I'm curious - I've never seen tech books that short that people actually buy. Could you link some example?

The closest I know of are the Julia Evans' zines, but I think you meant something different.

Not sure about 20 pages or so, but there's a whole variety of short tech books. O'Reilly had their "pocket reference" series, some of which are less than 100 pages.

Here's an example on GTFS. https://gumroad.com/l/gtfsbundle
$25 for what would amount to a 30 page book? I sincerely hope nobody is gullible enough to pay that much for information that can be found quite easily for free.
