About the Authors

Hideto Saito has around 20 years of experience in the computer industry. In 1998, while working for Sun Microsystems Japan, he was impressed with Solaris OS, OPENSTEP, and Sun Ultra Enterprise 10000 (AKA StarFire). Then, he decided to pursue the UNIX and MacOS X operation systems.

In 2006, he relocated to Southern California as a software engineer to develop products and services running on Linux and MacOS X. He was especially renowned for his quick Objective-C code when he was drunk.

He is also an enthusiast of Japanese anime, drama, and motor sports, and loves Japanese Otaku culture.

There were a lot of difficulties while writing this book. I believe it was the busiest moment in my life. But I was lucky to have two talented friends, Chloe and Carol, to support this project. I hope I have a chance to work with them again.

Lastly, I appreciate my wife and children for their support. Their support and understanding brings me success and happiness.

Hui-Chuan Chloe Lee has worked in the software industry for over 5 years. She has a master's degree in CS from the National Taiwan University and is an AWS-certified associate solution architect. Chloe is also a technology enthusiast who has extended interest and experiences in different topics, such as application development, container technology, and Continuous Delivery.

In her free time, she enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with the people she loves.

This book is dedicated to the people I love. I feel so lucky enough to have you all in my life. Without your support, this would never happen.

Especially, thanks to the other two amazing coauthors, Hideto and Carol, for your suggestions and guidance along the way.

Ke-Jou Carol Hsu is an engineer at Trend Micro. As a developer working in the Data Center Service group, Carol helps to write programs for deploying or managing internal-facing systems. She has both a bachelor's and a master's degree from the National Tsing Hua University. While studying and doing research, Carol focused on the area of high performance computing and virtualization technology. The experience made her more and more interested in system software, especially distributed systems and cloud environments.

Many thanks to my family and friends! You covered most of the house chores and job duties. Sometimes, you just bore my bad temper caused by the pressure while writing. Thanks to all of you! I am good to come back to my original life now!

For the other two authors, Hideto and Chloe, you are definitely the ones I truly appreciate. You guys know both the hard times and the happy hours during the writing of this book. Without your guide and support, it would have been impossible for me to finish this book at such a rapid pace and still come out with this careful, creative work. Looking forward to another cooperation in a short time.
