About the Author

Nigel Poulton (@nigelpoulton)

Hi, I’m Nigel. I live in the UK and I’m a techoholic. In fact, working with technologies like the cloud and containers is living the dream for me!

My early career was massively influenced by a book called Mastering Windows Server 2000 by Mark Minasi. Ever since reading it, I wanted to write my own books so I could influence people’s lives and careers the way Mark’s book influenced mine. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to author several best-selling books, including Data Storage Networking, Docker Deep Dive, and The Kubernetes Book. I feel so privileged to have reached so many people and genuinely appreciate the feedback I receive.

I’m also the author of best-selling video training courses on Docker and Kubernetes. My videos are always entertaining, and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny (not my words).

At my website, nigelpoulton.com, you’ll also find all my books, my blog, weekly newsletter, and other things that I’m doing.

When I’m not working with containers and Kubernetes, I’m dreaming about them. When I’m not dreaming about them, I’m spending time with my family. I also like American muscle cars, playing golf, reading sci-fi, and I support Sunderland AFC (the greatest football/soccer team in the world).

I’m happy to connect and I’m always looking for ways to improve my books and videos. These are some of the easiest ways to get connected.

Editorial Reviews

Nigel I want to thank you for all that you do for the community!
When I was looking to make a job change, it became apparent that a huge missing part of my knowledge base was the lack of cloud native experience. Thankfully, I was able to level up quickly using Nigel's amazing Docker and Kubernetes courses and books. Keep up the amazing work!

Kudos to @nigelpoulton for "Quick Start Kubernetes". If you are new to Kubernetes and need a quick "get-up-to speed" book with hands on demos, then this is the book for you! He does an amazing job all in under 100 pages! #mustread
