About the authors

Sean Keery began hacking obscure video game systems at the age of 13. Sean then developed interpersonal skills while teaching snowboarding. Nowadays, Cloud Foundry, choreography, containers and plenty of .io. Cluster deployments, IaaS independence, and his studies for a master's in data science keep Sean occupied. The daily commute is filled with podcasts and chipmunk bunny hops. Some family time, spicy food, a good book, and wrecking the latest toys keep Sean busy at home.

Thanks to my parents and family for providing me with the environment and opportunities to succeed; the Cassetty's for cold beer and a warm fire; Rick Farmer for inspiration; Weems for teaching me how to lead; Joe Szodfridt for helping me develop a product mindset; and Matt Russell and Joe Fitzgerald, who helped me refine my brand. Many thanks also to Duncan Winn, Craig Wheeless, Keith Strini, Matt Brockman, and Haydon Ryan for being my sounding board.

Clive Harber has been programming computers since he was 13, when Commodore Basic was all the rage and the internet, as an idea, was something that was only just starting to appear in films such as WarGames. Fast-forward a decade, he gained a master's degree in chemical engineering from University of Wales, Swansea, which he used briefly in a stint when he worked in a semi-conductor foundry making microchips. Not being totally satisfied with this, he decided to change fields and learn how to write stuff for the internet. Now, he runs his own consultancy, Distorted Thinking, providing services to organizations that find themselves in digital transition, whether that's software changes or infrastructure to cloud service migration.

This book would not have been possible without the patience and support of my family putting up with all the late nights, early mornings, and writer's block. It seems that they have more faith in me than I do in myself. I would also like to thank the editorial and technical staff at Packt for giving me this opportunity. They were also crucial in maintaining some sort of momentum and keeping me on track.
