ECS

Welcome to Elton’s Container Show!

This is where I talk about Docker and Kubernetes, the container ecosystem, practices and architecture - and all things containery.

Every month I’ll cover a different theme in sessions which are full of demos and walk-throughs. All the demos are documented here so you can follow along for yourself and expand your container knowledge and experience.

About Me

I’m a freelance consultant and trainer - specializing in Docker, Kubernetes and Microsoft Azure.

I’m the author of:

• Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches and

• Learn Kubernetes in a Month of Lunches

And over 20 training courses on Pluralsight, covering topics on Docker and Kubernetes, Azure and .NET, SRE and CI/CD.

I spent most of my career as a consultant, designing and building large enterprise applications. Then I discovered the container revolution in 2014, joined Docker and worked with the team for three fast and furious years.

Now I help people break up those old enterprise apps and build new cloud-native apps - and run them all in Docker and Kubernetes. I speak and run workshops at conferences around the world (pandemics permitting), write books and video courses and I help organizations at every stage in their container journey.

I’m an 11-time Microsoft MVP and a Docker Captain.
