I was like you, I knew about the "concept" of a pod, and nothing more.

k3s is not very far from the fundamentals. It's really just "one binary" instead of many for the space savings/ simple deployment.

That said, consider Kubernetes in Action by Manning. I'm about 75% done now, was a great help, and I'm continuing with k3s after doing it.

At this point I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on Kubernetes.

I bought Kubernetes Up & Running a year ago, I was disappointed to see it is a very over-the-top view, without getting into details.

I skimmed over Kubernetes in Action a couple months ago. Nothing really catched my eye either.

The last one I read was Kubernetes Security by Liz Rize. Either there's not that much to securing Kubernetes or the book is very introductory too.

The only parts of K8s I don't know a lot about are storage (haven't got past the NFS driver yet), CRDs and distributions like OpenShift. But in the same way I'm lacking storage expertise outside of Kubernetes.
