I was in Portland at Write the Docs this summer with my coworkers where I gave a lightning talk, mostly about my research but partly describing the value of technical writing skills when writing a thesis. Offstage I bumped into Sharon Campbell, Editorial Manager at DigitalOcean. I told her how happy I was to be a customer of DO and asked if she could recommend an orchestration platform for Docker that wasn’t quite as intense as Kubernetes, and she pointed me at Rancher.
