Jonathan Baier

Jonathan Baier is an emerging technology leader living in Brooklyn, New York. He has had a passion for technology since an early age. When he was 14 years old, he was so interested in the family computer (an IBM PCjr) that he pored over the several hundred pages of BASIC and DOS manuals. Then, he taught himself to code a very poorly-written version of Tic-Tac-Toe. During his teenage years, he started a computer support business. Throughout his life, he has dabbled in entrepreneurship. He currently works as Senior Vice President of Cloud Engineering and Operations for Moody's corporation in New York.

  • The container must be content-agnostic, which means that type of application inside the container does not alter the standard operations or publishing of the container itself.
  • The container must be infrastructure-agnostic as well. Portability is paramount; therefore, the container must be able to operate just as easily in GCE as in your company's data center or on a developer's laptop.
  • A container must also be designed for automation, which allows us to automate across the build, as well as for updates and the deployment pipelines. While this rule is a bit vague, the container implementation should not require onerous manual steps for creation...
