Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show. We’ve spoken a number of times over the years and we’ve been overdue to catch up. For the few listeners out there who might not be familiar, give everyone a quick intro and your background with Docker and containers prior to Dagger.

Topic 2 - Dagger has been around for a few years, coming out of stealth in 2022. If I understand Dagger correctly, it is a declarative model to abstract away CI/CD pipelines. What problem are you trying to solve?

Topic 2a - Anytime you add an abstraction layer, you potentially add overhead and complexity. What are your thoughts on this?

Topic 3 - Let’s go back to containers quickly. How has Containers as an “industry” changed over the years? How does that relate to what you are trying to do with Dagger?

Topic 3a - What lessons learned from Docker and even back to dotCloud days do you want to bring forward with Dagger?

Topic 4 - What metrics are organizations using to measure the performance and success of Dagger implementations? Is it velocity (number of deployments)? Reduction in friction?

Topic 4a - I get the advantage on the Dev side of DevOps, what’s in it for Ops?

Topic 5 - Dagger has three components, Dagger Engine, Dagger Cloud and Dagger SDK. Walk everyone through the offerings at a high level.
