Road to DockerCon Europe
What an exciting journey this has turned out to be. What started out as simple curiosity about learning about Docker has actually led to some amazing opportunities.
I first installed Docker during the 0.6.x version, which was about six months after the initial Docker release.
My first thoughts were, Damn! I need to learn more about this!
I started experimenting with all the features and slowly started creating my very own Docker images and containers which then led me to publishing my work. I still need to publish more of my work (On my ToDo list).
I have become a Docker advocate both at my employer and privately. Everywhere I go, I mention Docker and what I'm working on to anyone and everyone who will listen. I've converted large companies to start using Docker. Which, by the way, they've implemented across their entire Dev Team, people who have no clue about Linux, and everyone in between.
What is interesting about this entire journey is that my interest in learning Docker has enabled me to speak at several events in Switzerland as well as getting my presentation accepted at DockerCon EU 15.
Am I excited about this? Hell yes. Did I set out to do this when I first installed Docker? No!
What's next for me and my Docker journey is still unknown. One thing is for sure. I will not stop learning, pushing code, and talking to the incredible Docker community. Will it transform into a new adventure? Maybe. Has it opened my mind, pushed me as an individual, and given me amazing opportunities? Absolutely!
I'm super stoked to have been selected to present at DockerCon. I will be presenting Docker monitoring concepts based on articles and code I've published that has had much interest. I hope to meet everyone (in person) I've been chatting with on Twitter and other channels.
Next stop, DockerCon!
