About the Authors

Sean Kane is a Principal Production Operations engineer at SuperOrbital, which specializes in consulting and training for Kubernetes and modern devops processes. He has had a long career in production operations, with many diverse roles across a broad range of industries. Sean is the lead inventor on a container-related patent and spends a lot of his spare time writing, teaching, and speaking about technology. He is an avid traveler, hiker, and camper and lives in the US Pacific Northwest with his wife, children, and dogs.

Karl Matthias is Director of Cloud and Platform Services at InVision. Previous to that, he was a principal systems engineer at Nitro Software, and has spent the last 20-plus years working as a developer, distributed systems architect, systems administrator, and network engineer at everything from startups to Fortune 500 companies. After a few years at startups in Germany and the UK, followed by a stint at home in Portland, Oregon, he and his family have landed in Dublin, Ireland. When not devoting his time to things digital, he can be found herding his two daughters, shooting film with vintage cameras, or riding one of his steel bicycles.
