Hi. I'm a little apprehensive to post an #introduction as it's hard to define a person in a few paragraphs.
I'm Dennis. My pronouns are he/him. I am an LGBTQ+ allyπ³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ. My last name is pronounced like the French verb "foΚΚeΙͺ". My Father's family is from Quebec and came over from France in the 1600s. I live in Massachusetts and grew up in Connecticut.
I'm married and have three adult children who live in Canada and Scotland. We have lots of pets including one dog, three cats, and five chickens. The chickens surprised me with how much personality they have. My lovely wife is a jeweler, so if you need help with that art LMK.
For hobbies, I love photography, kayaking/canoeing, hiking, and of course poking at technology stuff in my home lab including virtualization, containers, robots, ML, DL. I was a Boy Scout Assistant Scout Master for six years. That was a hoot.
At work, I am in pre-sales. Those are the folks that are supposed to know every random corner of IT enough to not look like a deer in the headlights when a customer says "Can you help me design and implement a transmogrifier?" I love the company I work for. The culture and people are amazing. Really.
Mentorship is important to me and during any given week I am volunteering my time mentoring others.
Feel free to say hi and/or DM me about anything that I might be able to help with.
Woof. This made my brain hurt over a few weeks between delighting customers, but I persevered.
Firecracker is the tiny, lightweight VM technology behind AWS Lambda "serverless" Function as a Service. You can run these tiny, tiny, fast VMs on-premises if that solves a business problem.
Anyway, here is an actual working tutorial that I wrote as most of the major tutorials out there did not work for me. Enjoy.

Internet tutorials are like buying a tent at a discount store - you need to buy three tents to assemble enough parts that are not broken into one working tent.
I just experienced this stitching together the parts from 3 firecracker tutorials to get one working VM π
