Mastering ThingWorx Container Runtime

This is the longest, and likely the last knowledge sharing video specifically focused on ThingWorx. It is inspired by some recent weeks of work supporting a customer preparing for a production Go-Live using containers, where their timeline did allow for the many years of experience required to master ThingWorx administration / operations. In an effort to speed things along and to pave the way for a successful production application enterprise scale out, I found myself codifying many best practices into a distributable and easy to manipulate recipe which separated deployment from configuration, and added a bunch of power tools assisting in debugging, validation, and system monitoring.

Appologies for the massive dump - you'll likely want to watch it in multiple sittings. I'll add chapters to help with that.

As usual, content presented will be shared to the community to facilitate and encourage doing more with the resources (time) that you have.
