Kubernetes Handbook (Kubernetes指南) https://kubernetes.feisky.xyz
A Chinese-language GitBook covering Kubernetes from basics through advanced topics like networking (Calico, Flannel, Cilium), storage, service mesh, and the CNCF ecosystem. It's aimed at Chinese-speaking developers getting serious about Kubernetes in production — the kind of book that fills in what the official docs assume you already know.
Breadth is real: CNI plugins, CRI, etcd internals, federation, HA setups, and Istio all get dedicated chapters with architecture diagrams rather than just surface-level kubectl commands. The diagram collection is genuinely useful — the assets directory shows coverage of authentication flows, API server internals, storage interfaces, and network overlays. It tracks community updates and has seen contributions from hundreds of people over many years. The CC BY-NC-SA license makes it freely usable for internal training.
The README still references v1.6 as the minimum supported version — Kubernetes is now at 1.30+, and anything touching deprecated APIs, the Docker runtime removal, or Gateway API won't be in here. It's Chinese-only, so its audience is explicitly limited. The gitbook format means no versioning by Kubernetes release — you can't tell which chapters were last updated for which version without digging into git history. Asset naming is a disaster (hundreds of files named `14731220608865 (2).jpg`), which signals this was never maintained as a proper project but as a personal notes dump that grew large.
