About the authors

I want to thank Pushkar for his contributions to the security chapters. Pushkar approached me at a KubeCon and asked if he could contribute some content on real-world security. Collaborating on content isn’t something I’ve done before, and I tried to tell him, “No thanks” (I’m quite disorganized and can be hard to work with). However, Pushkar was keen, so we made it happen. To be clear, the technical content for the security chapters is all Pushkar’s. I just tweaked the writing style so that the book has a consistent feel.
