Russ McKendrick is an experienced DevOps practitioner and system administrator with a passion for automation and containers. He has been working in IT and related industries for the better part of 27 years. During his career, he has had varied responsibilities in many different sectors, including first-line, second-line, and senior support in both client-facing and internal teams for small and large organizations. He works almost exclusively with Linux, using open source systems and tools across both dedicated hardware and virtual machines hosted in public and private clouds at N4Stack, which is a Node4 company, where he holds the title of practice manager (SRE and DevOps). He also buys way too many records.

I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and for being so understanding about all of the time I have spent writing in front of the computer. I would also like to thank my colleagues at Node4 and our customers for their kind words of support and encouragement throughout the writing process.

Paul is CTO for Healthy Performance Ltd, helping to apply cutting-edge technology to a cutting-edge approach to wellbeing, and also runs his own development company, Lemon Squeezee.

When not behind a computer, Ron trains and competes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, practices and plays the drums, or is out riding his motorcycle.

To my wife, Nikki, thanks for being my best pal and supporting the million and one things I sign myself up for.To my brothers for always having my back, and most of all to my parents Asora and Henga Amosa, for everything you sacrificed to get me to where I am today. I am forever grateful.
