About the Authors
Russ McKendrick is an experienced solutions architect who has been working in IT and
related industries for the better part of 25 years. During his career, he has had varied
responsibilities in many different sectors, ranging from looking after an entire IT
infrastructure to providing first-line, second-line, and senior support in both client-facing
and internal teams for small and large organizations.
Russ works almost exclusively with Linux, using open source systems and tools across both
dedicated hardware and virtual machines hosted in public and private clouds at Node4
Limited, where he heads up the Open Source Solutions team.
In his spare time, he has written four books on Docker: Monitoring Docker, Extending Docker,
and Docker Bootcamp, which are all available now from Packt, as well as contributing to
Monitoring and Management With Docker and Containers, which was published by The New
Stack.
He also buys way too many vinyl records.
I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and being so understanding
about all of the time I have spent in front of the computer, writing. I would also like to
thank my colleagues at Node4 and also our customers for their kind words of support and
encouragement throughout the writing process.
