About the Author

Nigel Poulton
Nigel Poulton

He is the author of over 16 video training courses at www.pluralsight.com, with more than 6 of them on Docker and cloud technologies. He also wrote the book on Data Storage Networking (a well written witty book on one of the most boring subjects on the planet). He lives in the UK and supports a terrible soccer team, but lives it large in the container ecosystem. He also co-hosts the weekly In Tech We Trust podcast.
