Acknowledgments

First, I would like to thank my family—my mother Kim, father John, stepfather Jim, stepmother Veronica, stepsister Elizabeth, mother-in-law Kathy, father-in-law Kevin and my grandparents, Bill and Mary-Jo—for their support in my writing of this book and in everything I pursue. I would also like to thank the entire OpenShift Team at Red Hat. They are the ones who've made OpenShift a reality and therefore made this book a possibility. In particular, I'd like to thank those in the team who have been invaluable mentors to me: Mike McGrath, Thomas Wiest, and Dan McPherson. I want to thank a dear friend of mine, Kyle Derr, who has been a technical mentor over the years and has helped me substantially reach a place that has made this book a possibility. I would like to thank the community members of #rhel on irc.freenode.net for the sanity checking and the technical guidance that they have provided over the years. I would also like to thank Rob Marti for hiring and mentoring me while I was at Sam Houston State University, this was largely a catalyst for what I didn't know at the time would become the career I could only have hoped for. I would like to thank Thomas Cameron for being a mentor, a motivator, and someone who provided guidance to my endeavors that ultimately lead me to writing this book. Finally, I want to thank my wife Amanda, the love of my life and primary source of inspiration in everything I do, technical or otherwise. Without her support, this book and many other wonderful occurrences in my life surely would not have happened.
