I'll see what I can do. But--would an online course do? Because I have written one, I just haven't recorded the voiceovers yet...

The fun part is, I think most of the sexy tools are lousy. Ansible demos well but works poorly; Terraform has bitten me so many times I don't trust it; Kubernetes doesn't make sense to me in a universe where I am buying already-provisioned-and-segmented resource bunches (we can call them "virtual machines", maybe) where I have to incur extra deadweight loss because fault-tolerance implies requiring extra space in case any existing node goes away.

I have spent enough time thinking about this that I am reasonably confident in my approach, and I would like to share it. It's a little more than a blog, though.



Assuming you can motivate it decently, I think a course might be good... However, that's quite a different value proposition, so it might take a bit to convince my employees to do it -- whereas a 'I read this series of articles by this very knowledgeable guy' doesn't require much convincin'.

To quote the infinite wisdom of The Simpsons: "Do what you feel" [is right]. :)
