CloudSkills Podcast Interview: Docker, Kubernetes, and Microservices

This entry was posted in Containers Docker kubernetes microservices and tagged containers docker kubernetes microservices podcast on by

I recently chatted with my friend Mike Pfieffer who runs the CloudSkills.fm podcast about Docker, Kubernetes, and Microservices. Mike works a lot in the DevOps space and I work in the developer space (and do some DevOps as well) so it was a fun discussion about challenges that come up in both worlds. We discussed the benefits of containers, the role of Kubernetes, and how both can play an important role when working with Microservices.

ngAir Podcast: Containerizing Angular Apps with Docker

This entry was posted in Angular Azure Cloud Containers Docker Pluralsight SPA TypeScript on by

I had the opportunity to chat with Justin, Bonnie, Alyssa, and Austin about Angular and Docker on the ngAir podcast recently and really enjoyed talking with everyone. We talked about the benefits of containers from a developer and DevOps standpoint, how to create custom images with Dockerfiles, how to build/push/pull images, and how to run containers. We of course focused on the role that containers can play with Angular applications but the concepts apply to any front-end app (or back-end app for that matter). Here are some of the key links mentioned in the podcast: ​Containerizing Angular Apps with Docker […]

Here are a few questions this course will help you answer: Why “containerize” front-end applications? Should I consider using a CDN? How can I serve front-end applications created with Angular (or other libraries/frameworks) using nginx? How do I create a custom Dockerfile and custom image for my application? What is a multi-stage build and how can I use it to build […]

I had the opportunity to talk with Silicon Prairie News about Docker and some of the key benefits it offers. They interviewed me ahead of the Heartland Developer Conference (HDC) event where I’ll be giving a keynote titled “Docker Containers: What Every Developer Should Know”. The questions they asked in the interview included: How long have you been working with Docker? Can you briefly explain Docker for developers and readers who may not have a current understanding of what it does? Do you think this is something that all developers should at least be educating themselves on even if they […]
