Manoj and I decided to stop here with the book. I enjoyed the first chapters, but the last two and the ones ahead aren’t interesting me as much. Manoj feels similarly. I’d prefer to spend more time on Kubernetes and Istio now. This book will be a nice reference in the future for starting out with the tools it describes in these latter chapters.

Note on Chapter 5: In order to get the code to work properly, I found I had to change the ca-config.json file so that the expiry was included separately for both the server and client (as in the book) instead of as a default (as in the github code)
