[ale] Behind on your "Container Skills"

They don’t let me talk in public.  You guys are grandfathered in since it’s a semi-private list.

We’re all Docker/Kubernetes.

We have over 250,000 physical hosts, I suppose we’re going to be there in cloud by year’s end with no end to the growth pattern as far as I can see, and our container numbers as listed below encompass all environments.  Much more container penetration in dev/test.

We use AWS, GCP, and to a lesser extent, Azure.  That’s for Corp stuff, all internal.

I’m actually in the process of building the new default container everyone has to use in Docker.


Now that I think about it, I bet I could get a special dispensation to talk, but it’d have to go through a full-on approval process including my slides and I’d have to submit back a vid of the talk for archival.


That’s me saying “we’ll see”.
