I'm really passionate about learning Docker. I know it is probably super easy/familiar to a lot of you but it is phenomenal to me. I've been in technical sales for the last 10 years and while I really know my products really well I've let my actual technical skills lag. I've since switched roles and I'm now doing more hands on technical work with my products and less sales. I've had to start learning new stuff. In the past I would spin up a single purpose VM, put the thing I needed on it, and move on. I was recently forced to use Docker for a project and I was totally out of my depth. I've been learning as much as I can as fast as I can not only for my job but for my own personal stuff. Kids want a Minecraft server? Docker container. I need to use some of my own products in a different way? Docker container. All the things I have single purpose VMs for on my home network. Migrate to Docker containers.

In a way I'm disappointed that I didn't do this sooner BUT I'm also really happy that I'm learning something new AND it is something so practical to me.

P.s, if you have some great Docker learning resources please pass them along!

Just making things more interesting, here's a brand new world of docker networking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKFMS5C4CG0

This is crazy. I know, networking in the Virtual Machines would be kind of similar, but check this out.

Thanks! Right now I'm feeling pretty good about docker BUT I'm still a bit nervous about how storage works and networking works. I need to get a level deeper on those 2 topics. I'll be sure to check this video out.
