👋 About me
My name is Bobby Iliev, and I have been working as a Linux DevOps Engineer since 2014. I am an avid Linux lover and supporter of the open-source movement philosophy. I am always keen on doing what I cannot do in order to learn how to do it, and I believe in sharing knowledge.
I think it's essential always to keep professional and surround yourself with good people, work hard, and be nice to everyone. You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That's the mark of a true professional.

Hi, thank you for sharing this! Some feedback as someone completely new to Docker is that the definitions are good. However, you jump right into creating things and I would have preferred a few use cases and a few diagrams. I will go through your tutorials and they look easy enough. Thanks again!
This is some great feedback! Thank you for taking the time to write it! This gives me some very good points for improvement! Appreciate this!
Yet another eBook from you, Bobby! 👏
Planning to record a video course on that topic too 🙌
