About Me - Bret Fisher
Hi, I'm Bret
I Help software engineering teams adopt modern DevOps, GitOps, and Agentic tooling and workflows
Hey, thanks for stopping by. I'm an independent DevOps and cloud native course creator, trainer, speaker, consultant, and open source volunteer working from Virginia Beach, USA.
I teach courses on Docker, Kubernetes, and automation technologies that you can find here.
Got questions? [email protected] or join my Discord community of DevOps fans.
Docker Captain and Cloud Native Ambassador
I volunteer as a Docker Captain and Cloud Native Ambassador. I'm part of the inaugural cohort of Captains in 2016, and received the inaugural "Tip of the Hat" award at DockerCon EU 2018 for providing Docker and DevOps education over the years. I then added the CNCF's CNA in 2023 and you'll find me at most KubeCon's in NA and EU.
🤩 I'm super excited to be part of the new @cncfambassadors #CloudNativeAmbassador program! I've been a dev and operator for nearly 30 years. I'm drawn to the fantastic impact the CNCF has had in giving people the road map and guidance toward a more proactive and agile IT org. pic.twitter.com/VwlGt8HACY

I just crossed 100,000 #docker courses sold on @udemy! Two years ago this month I launched Docker Mastery not knowing if it would work. Thanks so much to my team and the community. Multiple #DevOps courses in the works for 2019! Keep in the loop: https://t.co/CJVpgECdRx pic.twitter.com/utYmaXIdOO

30 Years in Tech
👉 I got started 30 years ago in IT because I like to help others. That's still what drives me. 🥃
I'm obsessed with containerizing and automating the deployment of any app I see, and I'll likely talk your ear off about it next time we meet.

When not working, hangout in my neighborhood at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and ViBe District, and travel with my Wife. We spend our time trying to figure out how to "live deliberately". Say hi: @BretFisher or [email protected]
