My Journey into the World of Certifications

Welcome to my site! Iā€™m glad you have taken the time to visit, much appreciated. I feel it is time I start to write out my educational journey. I learn a lot all the time, I would love to share my interests with others. My interest right now happens to be in Docker. Hopefully one day I can get myself the certification for Docker called, Docker Certified Associate (DCA). I am using this to containerize my development and production environments so they are always identical. Docker also allows more efficient testing of different versions, new and old, in a safe manor, enabling a better development and deployment process. I aim to provide quality web services and Docker is a solid tool to achieve this goal.

I am creating an automatic bash script that can configure a Fedora 33 server to run all of my web services as well as restore their databases so these sites are in the same functional state as they are on the main production server.  This helps testing by boosting efficiency allowing me to test new versions and to easily destroy the entire working directory as to refresh the entire project directory.  The only folder I do not wipe out is the backups folder, this way my automated script can restore any backups I have stashed there.

I am studying for the Docker Certified Associate (DCA) at the moment, I will let you know the results of my first practice test when I take one in the near future.
