Jeff Nickoloff: A second edition is a burden and an opportunity. It is the same burden any SaaS owner feels. People are consuming your work, and, ultimately, you’re in some small part responsible for their success or failure. I took on this work knowing that it needed to be done, but also that I would struggle without a coauthor. It is an opportunity to continue sharing what I know with the world, but more importantly an opportunity to introduce and share Stephen Kuenzli’s knowledge. He and I have had several opportunities to work together in Phoenix, including co-organizing DevOpsDays, running the Docker PHX meetup, and bouncing a constant stream of ideas off each other.
