Update: I've been awarded as a Docker Captain!

I'm honored to be recognized as part of this global community of technologists (163 (worldwide) 34 (US)) who are passionate about containers, Kubernetes, DevOps, Platform Engineering, and helping others.

The Docker Captain program is similar to the Microsoft MVP program. Being named a Docker Captain is more than just an award. It means getting early access to Docker product updates, connecting with the Docker Product groups, collaborating with other captains around the world, and having a stronger platform to share knowledge with the broader tech community.

In my latest blog post, I share what this means and what’s next. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ggnryE7t

Docker already sent some cool swag! Thank you to the team at Docker for and the container community!

🚀 My 9th book has published. It is titled: "The Modern Developer Experience" and is available on O'Reilly's learning platform as a report.

While DevOps brought game-changing efficiencies to dev teams, it has also introduced new complexities. Modern frameworks and tools, like containers, Docker, Kubernetes, and GitOps, Platform Engineering, and AI can accelerate development, but understanding their unique challenges (and how to address them effectively) can make the difference between a team that struggles and one that thrives.

This book covers how to reduce friction in DevEx & enable developers to focus on what truly matters. Its just 4 chapters.

The chapters are:
1. The Modern Developer Experience
2. Raising the Bar, Providing the Right Developer Environment
3. Using AI to Enhance DevEx
4. Developer Experience and the Secure Supply Chain
