What you will learn in this course
🤔I really should write something here.
Why should you learn from me?
- I'm A Practitioner. Welcome to the real world. I've got more than 20 years of sysadmin and developer experience, over 30 certifications, and have been using container tools for myself and my consulting clients since their early days. With me, you’re learning from someone who's helped run many hundreds of container apps across dozens of projects and organizations.
- I'm An Educator. With me, you’ll learn from someone who knows how to make a syllabus: I want to help you. People say I'm good at it. I won a 2018 Leadership Award at DockerCon for helping others learn. For the last few years I've trained thousands of people on using Docker and Kubernetes in workshops, conferences, and meetups. See me teach at events like DockerCon, O'Reilly Velocity, GOTO, and Linux Open Source Summit.
- I Lead Communities. Also, I'm a Docker Captain, which means Docker Inc. thinks I know a thing or two about containers and that I do well in sharing it with others. In the real-world: I run two local meetups in our fabulous tech community in Norfolk/Virginia Beach USA. I help online daily: usually in Slack and Twitter, where I learn from and help others.
Giving back to Open Source and the Internet
A portion of my profit on this course will be donated to supporting open source and protecting our freedoms online! This course is only made possible by the amazing people creating open source. I'm standing on the shoulders of (open source) giants! Donations will be split between my favorite charities including the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Free Software Foundation. Look them up. They're awesome!
This is a living course, and will be updated as features and workflows change.
This course is designed to be fast at getting you started but also get you deep into the "why" of things. Simply the fastest and best way to learn the latest Kubernetes skills.
Thanks so much for considering this course. Come join me and thousands of others in this course (and my others) for learning the latest DevOps tech! - Bret
