Read What You Need to Know: Docker and Kubernetes. I've put together a short-course for bootstrapping your learning experience as well as succinct guide comparing the things you need to know about Docker and Kubernetes. Overnight developers and infrastructure specialists around the world have been given a decision to make about where to invest their time. Read more about Docker's official announcement here I know many of us don't all have the time or budget necessary to spend keeping up with technology. My motivation for blogging has always been to make seemingly complex technology accessible and digestible by the wider community.

I didn't do this to jump ship, in fact I (like many others) have dedicated many hours to teaching and writing about Docker Swarm. Personally I started learning Kubernetes a few months ago and found the transition relatively straight forward. There has been some speculation that this would be inevitable since Swarm was launched last June. The biggest announcement was that Docker will now bundle the Kubernetes orchestration platform with their enterprise product range called "EE" or "Docker Enterprise Edition". I'll talk about the speaking opportunities I had this week and share some of my conference highlights too. So much has changed since I announced OpenFaaS (Functions as a Service) and ran through auto-scaling and Alexa demos live on stage. The last Dockercon event I attended was in Austin in May and I spent most of the time indoors practising my talk for the closing keynote session - Moby's Cool Hacks. I'm starting this blog post in the airport at Copenhagen while drinking the most expensive coffee I've ever bought, but it doesn't matter because it's been a huge week for Docker Inc, the Dockercon attendees, myself and for the whole container community.
