I started working as a Release Engineer roughly 3 years ago and I knew NOTHING about containers, cloud security, docker, kubernetes, patterns, tools, etc… As a release eng, I was responsible for building, packaging, and troubleshooting a few of VMware’s multi-cloud kubernetes offerings (e.g Piovtal Container Service). Before I could be useful with any of that, I needed to understand the building blocks
The following resources were useful at the beginning of my journey
