Bret Fisher is a Virginia Beach-based freelance DevOps and Docker consultant, trainer, speaker, and open source volunteer. Bret has been a cloud and data center ops and system administrator for 20 years. Currently, he helps teams Dockerize their apps and systems and improve their speed of deployment, resiliency, metrics, and awareness (all that DevOps-y stuff). Bret is a Docker Captain and Code for America Brigade Captain. He runs several monthly meetups, speaks at conferences, and is obsessed with containerizing any app he sees. (He’ll likely talk your ear off about it next time you meet.) Bret also develops in Node.js, Bash, and general web, usually for open source projects. In his free time, he does CrossFit, surfs a little, geeks out in the awesome local dev community in Virginia Beach, and travels with his wife. He writes at Bretfisher.com and tweets at @bretfisher.

Yes, Windows 7 with Docker Toolbox will be fine Sarah. Day one is on your local machine and day two is using servers (over ssh) in the cloud.

Hi,
I am hoping to attend this training course in London. I would be using my work laptop. However, we are still runnning on Windows 7 and I am wondering if installing docker toolbox would be enough to get through this course?
