Our Service Mesh discussion leaned heavily into the needs around edge infrastructure because there are so many missing parts for the edge deployment systems, When we started talking about service meshes, we really realize is that the actual control plane, communications grid and security for edge are not defined enough for us to layer on what has become sort of a standard in cloud deployments of s...

Taking Configuration management for deployment pipelines and make it productive and effective. And we really got into a lot of the challenges about scaling, rolling deployments, split tests, schema, migrations, rollbacks, and multi-site infrastructure. We dug in on the challenges that are related to making this actually work in a scale production environment. Ultimately, we looked a system princip...

1x1 with Emil of Ntirety, which is an MSP that specializes in hybrid security. They're working with both huge and small customers by helping them build a coherent IT strategy. with a focus on holistic security and hybrid cloud. We had a fantastic discussion about those topics and more. And if you're into security, you will find this a fascinating discussion. Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/PvTlUBQC...

We keep coming back to "how do we defend our data advantage" but we don't know how, or why we should share data with people. It's very clear that we should be sharing data and that there's economic benefit to us to do it. But we haven't figured out how to do it. And that's the question that we're sort of struggling with in this whole conversation. Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/nGfmf-7f0EZinGNGbdm...

We discuss security related to the colonial pipeline, and what we could do to improve against ransomware attacks. What are the different things that are impacts in that type of attack. And it's really a good exercise in thinking about security, especially security of secondary systems, and hard networks. very robust, resilient conversation. transcript: https://otter.ai/u/rKh9TTyqrBeHxzsdClBtQi2adm...

1x1 discussion with Andi Mann, He's a real leader when it comes to infrastructure, automation, DevOps, analysis, just putting everything together. And we had an amazing conversation, ranging the whole gamut of how to make technology better. complexity, hybrid, open source. You name it, we covered it!

General topics of interest: learning DevOps, and tech roadmaps, and how to build up to skills, infrastructure pipelines, release management, and more. These are topics that we want to dig into over the next several months.

How will we secure infrastructure in the future? Why is so hard to get security taken seriously? Because it's a supply chain problem. a vendor problem, AND a customer problem. We have to solve this because it threatens to undermine very fabrics of what we've been building together.

We go DEEPLY into the practice of image base (aka immutable) deployment. Image based deployment is when we building infrastructure by cloning systems. That means actually writing the system image directly to disk. We typically start a VM, where it's already on the disk, and then clone that to an existing system.

We started with the idea of what should our infrastructure be if we were going to get the perfect thing, the ideal thing and then work backwards? We focused in on home and industrial uses. That led us into the way we think about building technology. Transciption: https://otter.ai/u/KcUBUZvpOqXYlY-onF48OFZ7gSA Photo by Matheus Natan from Pexels [ID 3689875]

All about security, zero trust data, and shared homomorphic security. If those terms mean something to you, you will find our conversation fascinating. And if they don't, you better be listening, because these are really important concepts that come together for how we will secure data in the future. And we really believe that these are transformative technologies that challenge the current status...

We went deep into vendors, specifically Red Hat. So if you like vendor gossip and speculation then you'll love this. We talked about Red Hat, IBM, Oracle, a couple other vendors of note and speculated on their strategy.

Is there a Jevons Paradox of Complexity? We started by asking key questions like: How much complexity is too much? How do we measure it? What's the business risk? DId we make complexity cheaper or just hide it away? Is there a price to be paid for building incredibly complex systems? We answered these and more in the reference of business concerns and the business value. Transcript: https://otter....

How Service Mesh works and why they're important. Towards the end, we start talking about the rationale and whys and hows of the architecture. Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/OPEKGyWT6iDjMLVQlHZeKVWkh_I Photo by Karolina Grabowska from Pexels [ID 5422821]

James Urquhart joins the DevOps lunch for an impromptu discussion about the importance of Flow Architecture. You will learn a lot about how flow architecture work and why they are important to infrastructure and application design. This is a great follow-up to our 1x1 interview with him on an earlier episode.

The RackN team goes behind the scenes describing the many ways that we've worked with customers to automated VMware deployments from the bare metal up.

Short checking w/ Rob about the format and community supporting the Cloud2030 discussions.

How businesses need to be thinking in order to respond to the cloud? Tim Crawford led this round table conversation about the challenges facing us. We also talk about managing complexity and what it takes to build a successful business in today's technology environment Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/4iOmpqQsAhqW7RPwgz0sthpFC2s Photo: Photo by Frans Van Heerden from Pexels [ID 624015]

We were frustrated that we couldn't pull security together as cleanly as we want. So we extended the conversation beyond simple security into integrations and what you need to get done in order to automate security, Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/08NW-tmEEH4E84UunOmfrLuvp4g
