Acknowledgments

First and foremost, Id like to thank Willy-Peter Schaub for his tireless encouragement of me since my first days in the ALM Rangers program, for giving me the chance of

a lifetime to jump feet first into NDA territory, and for agreeing to tech review this madness. Id like to recognize many more people for contributing to my personal and

professional growth, but the truth is I couldnt possibly list everyone here. Please know that even if you are not listed, youre in my heart somewhere.

Donovan Brown: for inspiring me to devops my face off at every opportunity. Your

enthusiasm and depth of knowledge are always invigorating.

Steven Borg: for being my mentor when I first started this crazy journey with the

ALM Rangers and eventually the Microsoft MVP program. Thanks for being my sounding

board for countless ideasand for helping me video-bomb Seth Juarez during a webcast while we looked for a quiet room for me to call my family from at my first Summit.

Brian Harry: for incredible leadership and attention to detail. You gave me

confidence in talking to senior leadership levels due to your approachability. If I could be even a quarter of the leader you are, I will have accomplished something very magical.

Wouter de Kort: for pushing me to be better, even if you didnt know you were

pushing me. You taught me that its important to recognize when to take a break and

enjoy life. Youre also the first person Ive ever internationally shipped anything to. I still have that empty canister of Stroopwafels.

Damian Brady: the only Aussie I know who moved to Toronto and saw me less often

than when he lived in Australia. You are a great friend, my unofficial Tim Tam dealer, and an amazing talent.

Greg Duncan: the best podcast producer ever. Being able to participate in RadioTFS

has been and will continue to be something Im proud of, so thank you for giving me the opportunity.

Jessie Frazelle: for being the Keyser Sose of containers and writing a ton of cool

containerized stuff so I didnt have to, and helping me understand more of the

mechanics of Docker. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for the tech community.

David Wood: for being incredibly supportive and helping me learn enterprise

architecture frameworks and principles when I was really just a software goon. The

analytic and problem-solving skills I obtained during your tenure have helped move me into the next major era of my career.
