Community has always been a huge part of Container Solutions, from meetups to workshops to conferences. When we launched our new office in Montreal last year, we were eager to join in the local community by participating in events. So we co-sponsored last year’s DevOps Days Montreal. Earlier this month, we did it again. 

In its Aristotle project, Google tried to define the success of effective teams. The researchers’ main finding was that what really mattered was less about who is on the team, and more about how the team worked together. Most important in teamwork was the presence of psychological safety.

We need to talk.

No, really—one of the hardest parts of wrapping your head around the complexities of CloudNative is getting a handle on all the lingo. Containers, microservices, and orchestration, oh my! When Container Solutions staff meet with clients, we often find that the best place to begin is with a quick Cloud Native 101 to make sure we are all talking about the same things in the same way.

Unlike industries of the past that relied upon great stores of resources like coal, iron, timber, or oil for its wealth, the technology industry relies upon the resources in between our ears.

In my daily job in Container Solutions, I work with numbers. Budgets and forecasts. Coaching on profit and loss management. Financial strategy.
