[Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Fifty Nine]
Q: You do meditation things every day. How do you do this? Do you have an app that leads through it?
A: Headspace. I love it.
Q: Awesome. Let’s say I want an ‘openshift for complete dummies’. Got a suggestion?
A: There’s no openshift for complete dummies, but I could write that up for you.
But first the news:
- Doctors query plan to start vaccination programme on January 4
- Health Ministry thought Covid was less deadly than flu in February
- Restaurants to defy coronavirus measures and open in January
The quick summary is that OpenShift is Red Hat’s platform as a service on kubernetes and Docker. Also, it helps to dive into microservices, if you haven’t heard of it, as this is one of the core concepts / benefits of kubernetes.
Therefore, to get started, read over the PaaS wikipedia, then inhale kubernetes and docker, and if you haven’t met it yet, get to know microservices.
Nigel Poulton
I’m a huge fan of Nigel Poulton who wrote The Kubernetes Book and Docker Deep Dive, both of which I’ve read and LOVE and totally recommend. Also, the Kubernetes Book is available in audio and is HILARIOUS. I particularly love Nigel’s work because it breaks it down and is lightly snarky about it.
Kubernetes In Action
Kubernetes in Action is a comprehensive guide to effectively developing and running applications in a Kubernetes environment. Before diving into Kubernetes, the book gives an overview of container technologies like Docker, including how to build containers, so that even readers who haven’t used these technologies before can get up and running.

Getting Started with OpenShift for Developers
Be able to provide a great experience for both Developers and System Administrators to develop, deploy, and run containerized applications using OpenShift. Developers should love using OpenShift because it enables them to take advantage of both containerized applications and orchestration without having to know the details. Developers are free to focus on their code instead of spending time writing Dockerfiles and running docker builds.
