>It becomes a pain point when the IT team never heard of docker

Where do you work ? Is that even possible in 2025?



'corp IT' in a huge org typically all outsourced MCSEs who are seemingly ignorant of every piece of technology outside of azure.

Or so it seems to me whenever I have to deal with them. We ended up with Microsoft defender on our corp Macs even.. :|


Its absolutely possible. Weve also had them unaware of github, and had them label Amazon S3 as a risk since it specifically wasn't Microsoft.

There is no bottom to the barrel, and incompetence and insensitivity can rise quite high in some cases.


I work at a cool place now that is well aware of it, but in 2023 I worked at a very large insurance company with over a thousand people in IT. Some of the gatekeepers were not aware of docker. Luckily another team had set up Openshift, but then the approval process for using it was a nightmare.


Apparently they work in the past...
