Show Notes

• Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show. Hard to believe it’s been over a year since you were last on talking about Docker. How has the container market changed, from your perspective, over the last year?
• Topic 2 - You recently wrote “The Kubernetes Book”. Give us the cliff notes version of what readers will learn from the book?
• Topic 3 - As you were researching this book (and your trainings around the topics), what things did you learn about Kubernetes that you’d like to use as an Admin/Ops or Developer?
• Topic 4 - Docker recently announced intentions to add Kubernetes support to DockerEE. Given Docker’s history of wanting to control their technology, are you surprised they are adding Kubernetes support?
• Topic 5 - Do you think their customers will care that Docker has limited contributions to Kubernetes, in terms of supporting it for the Enterprise in the long-run?
• Topic 6 - Have you had a chance to dig into how Docker is going to implement this dual-scheduler architecture? Do you think that Docker eventually depreciates Swarm?
• Topic 7 - What advice do you have for people trying to learn about containers and Kubernetes?
