Docker - training

[AHarvey]

Hi all,

We've implemented Docker at work, yet it seems no one has a ******* clue how it actually works and I'm waiting to start a massive backfill of data due to another mess up during an update. Second for me and about 10th in the few months we've had it.

One person implemented it but doesn't fully understand it, others are supporting it but can't even figure out how to restart it when needed.

Anyone any suggestions for in-depth training from beginner to advanced so that although it's not my problem I can get a good understanding of troubleshooting it? I'm just fed up of having to pick the pieces up from other people's failures.

You definately need at least one expert to teach the rest of the team and share knowledge.

Sounds like a typical flawed business decision to implement a new system, and try to save money by using existing staff, resulting in a very high increase in "hidden" costs not recognised by the business.

I think it's more of a case of "I know what'll look good on my CV, let me just sell this to the bosses..."

It's a great company to work for but it does have some serious issues as well.
