Morning!
My colleague, Nico Vibert has spent the last few weeks producing an eBook covering all the things he wished he’d known as an ex-network engineer before getting into Kubernetes.
You can see his “interesting” story telling launch video here. Potentially if being tech marketing doesn’t work out for him, acting will be a good second career!
