I am thrilled to announce that I have officially become a Docker Captain as of April 2026.
The Docker Captains program recognizes community leaders who demonstrate expertise in Docker and container technologies, actively share knowledge through content, speaking, and open-source contributions, and help other developers succeed with containers.
What Docker Captains Do
Docker Captains are technical experts and community leaders who:
- Educate — create tutorials, courses, blog posts, and conference talks about Docker and container best practices
- Advocate — help developers adopt containerization patterns that work in production
- Influence — provide feedback to Docker Inc. on product direction and developer experience
- Connect — bridge the gap between the Docker team and the global developer community
The program is invite-only and includes some of the most respected voices in the container ecosystem.
My Container Journey
Containers have been central to my work for over a decade. From early Docker adoption in production environments to designing multi-tenant GPU platforms on Kubernetes, the container ecosystem has shaped how I think about infrastructure.
Some highlights:
- 8 published books covering Ansible, Kubernetes, and cloud automation — many with deep Docker integration
- KubeCon EU 2026 speaker on multi-tenant GPU orchestration on bare metal
- 50+ Docker-related blog posts covering everything from Dockerfile best practices to Docker networking to Podman vs Docker comparisons
- Ansible Pilot — automating container deployments at scale
What This Means for You
As a Docker Captain, I will continue to:
- Publish practical container content — deep-dive guides, error troubleshooting, and production patterns
- Speak at conferences about container orchestration, GPU workloads, and platform engineering
- Share early insights from the Docker ecosystem as it evolves
- Help teams adopt containers in regulated, enterprise environments
If you are working with Docker in production — especially around AI workloads, multi-tenant Kubernetes, or compliance-heavy environments — let’s talk.
