#256: KubeCon season has started again and in this episode, we give you our thoughts on KubeCon EU 2024, along with our friend Whitney Lee.   Whitney's contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/wiggitywhitney LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneylee/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#255: In an era where software development and operations are increasingly converging, the need for effective and efficient observability tools has never been more critical. As systems grow in complexity and the lines between development and operations blur, the role of observability in understanding and managing these systems becomes more prominent. One significant problem is the dichotomy developers face: either being completely isolated from production observability data or overwhelmed by the volume of information available, most of which may not be directly relevant to their specific tasks. In this episode, we talk with Liran Haimovitch from Rookout about developer observability. This concept prioritizes making observability tools and data accessible and understandable for developers, allowing them to gain insights into how their code operates in production environments. This shift is not about discarding the importance of operations in observability but rather enhancing the collective capability of teams to monitor, diagnose, and resolve issues more effectively.   Liran's contact information: X (Formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/liran_last LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liran-haimovitch/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#254: When you first started out working with infrastructure, you probably used point and click to get your work done. Over time, you created scripts to replace some of that point and click work. But then, many infrastructure as code tools exploded on the market. You may have started working with one or two or you may have chosen to just keep doing what you were doing, but you soon realized you were falling way behind what was going on in the industry. In this episode, Darin and Viktor discuss many of the ups and downs of using infrastructure as code and why not every infrastructure as code tool may be the right tool for you.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#253: As we move forward in 2024, one thing stands firm - platform engineering remains a significant focus for companies and has become a key component in the digital transformation journey. This realization drove the creation of the Platform Engineering Maturity Model, a comprehensive guide that serves organizations in various stages of their platform engineering journey. In this episode, we speak with Abby Bangser, one of the lead authors of the Platform Engineering Maturity Model published by CNCF.   Abby's contact information: X (Formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/a_bangser LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abbybangser/   Platform Engineering Maturity Model https://tag-app-delivery.cncf.io/whitepapers/platform-eng-maturity-model/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#252: In today's rapidly evolving technology landscape, it's crucial for organizations to keep their software stacks up-to-date. This is especially true for complex systems like Kubernetes, which require regular upgrades to ensure stability, security, and performance. In this episode, Darin and Viktor delve into the challenges of upgrading Kubernetes and discuss best practices to follow during the upgrade process.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#251: We're becoming more and more dependent on sophisticated systems that transport data from one part of our application to another. This infrastructure, often referred to as message brokers, is a vital backbone supporting many products we use daily. But are we fully leveraging their power and simplicity? In this episode, we speak with Valera Bronshtein, Director of Infrastructure at Memphis.dev, about event-based architectures and why using effective message brokers doesn't have to be hard or complicated.   Valera's contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ValeraBronsht LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerabr/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#250: Sure, we can use Generative AI to write code for us and generate cool pictures...sometimes. But who has the responsibility for making sure all that infrastructure stays up and running? Look no further than your favorite sysadmin or cloud engineer. There is nothing new under the sun... In this 250th episode, we have our friend Patrick Debois back on to talk about how he's researching we can use Generative AI beyond just the typical use cases that we see today and why understanding how to integrate all these new tools together may be more important than learning how to be a prompt engineer (whatever that means).   Patrick's contact information: X (Formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/patrickdebois LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickdebois/   YouTube channel:  https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#249: One of the prominent discussions in the software industry is the concept of 'build versus buy.' Often the argument focuses on creating a whole system from scratch or opting for pre-built solutions. But think about it. You never start from absolute zero. When you begin developing an application, it isn't devoid of pre-existing libraries or systems. It's about identifying the point on the spectrum from which you initiate your development journey. In this episode, we speak with Hadi Chami from LEADTOOLS about how the key factors such as pricing, licensing model, support, maintenance, and the impact on the end product play significant roles in making this 'build versus buy' choice.   Hadi's contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadi-chami-002234131/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#248: When thinking about starting to learn a new technology, where do you start? Are you so busy at work that you're not able to spend any time learning something new? Are you concerned that when your company finally jumps on the AI bandwagon, will you be left behind? In this episode, Darin and Viktor talk about when and how you might want to start preparing yourself for the situation that will probably be arriving sooner than you think.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack:  https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#247: What do you think of when I say “Developer Relations”? Is it a person that flys from conference to conference giving talks? Is it someone that is chasing you down to scan your badge in a booth? What if the answer to both of those questions is both yes and no? In this episode, we speak with Lian Li about the realities of developer relations and how developer relations isn’t just something you buy off the shelf.   Lian’s contact information: X (Formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/lianmakesthings LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lian-li/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#246: You may have been in the tech space for a number of years, but now you are ready to up-level and head down the path of being a DevOps Architect. However, you're not really sure where to begin. In this episode, Darin and Viktor give their opinions on where you should start and the two tools that you'll need to know how to use if you really want to capture a DevOps Architect role in an enterprise.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts:  https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#245: Imagine this. You think you've been hired into a team of all A players. Think Wayne Gretsky, Michael Jordan, Lionel Messi, etc. Instead, what's really happened is you've been assigned to the team that is nothing more than the people that played behind the people that played behind the A players. Yeah, you've been demoted to the third string team. You think, ok, at least I made a team and I'm not bagging groceries (is that still a thing?) down at the local market. Now that you're on a team, how do you plug in and help make the team better? In this episode, we speak with Dr. David Burkus about his latest book “Best Team Ever”. We go into the 3 key areas that both the manager and the players need to understand in order to actually create a team that might even be able to beat a team of A players.   David's contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidburkus LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidburkus/ Website: https://davidburkus.com/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#244: 2023 is in the rearview mirror. Welcome to 2024, the year of our AI overlords. In this episode, Darin and Viktor make their predictions about all the technologies that will potentially impact our day to day work for both the good and the bad. Not surprisingly, AI is at the top of that list, but maybe not for the reasons that you might think.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#241: On today's episode, we go in depth with one of our friends, Whitney Lee. You may know her from her Enlightening series on Tanzu.TV or maybe from the You Choose videos she does with Viktor. But did you know just over 4 years ago, she was a server in a vegetarian restaurant and since that time she's spoken five times at KubeCon conferences - 2 of which were keynotes? What'll you'll learn is that just because you don't have a CS degree doesn't mean that you can't do great things in tech.   Whitney's contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/wiggitywhitney LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneylee/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#240: Imagine being handed a nicely-wrapped box containing Platform Engineering, much like when we were sold DevOps in a Box. An enigmatic gift, with potential benefits yet accompanied by potential complexities. It calls to question - how is this different from the countless developer platforms we've seen companies launch over the years? In this episode, we speak with Mauricio Salatino about his take on where platform engineering is today and where it's headed in the future.   Mauricio's contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/salaboy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/salaboy/   Platform Engineering on Kubernetes https://www.manning.com/books/platform-engineering-on-kubernetes Use the code "podparadox20" to save 40%   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#239: In this episode, Ville Aikas and Matt Moore from Chainguard join us for a discussion about open-source projects, distroless containers, and software security. They share their stories about the creation and progress of ChainGuard, offering insights into the way the company operates and contributes to the open-source community. They also delve into the value of improving the signal-to-noise ratio of vulnerability scanners and how this can aid in addressing software security problems. They also explain their commitment to the APK format and its advantages, as well as the significance of Wolfi, their '(un)distro', in maintaining vulnerability-free software environments.   Matt's contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/mattomata LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattmoor/   Ville's contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/aikasville LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villeaikas/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#238: You might just now be reaching the point of containerizing your workloads and running them in Kubernetes. However, how do you go about accessing those workloads? You might have started with an ingress, because other options seemed like they were too complex. However, you've now crossed the point where you need that complexity. That's where service mesh can help you out. On this episode, we speak with Marino Wijay, Principal Developer Advocate at solo.io, about how service mesh has evolved over time, the challenges of adopting certain models, and the advantages of open-source solutions. We also talk about the differences between sidecar and sidecar-less models, and the circumstances in which either might be appropriate.   Marino's contact information: Twitter: https://twitter.com/virtualized6ix LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mwijay/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
#237: Darin catches up with Viktor and Whitney Lee just minutes after they've finished up at KubeCon NA 2023. We discuss the good things and bad things that they experienced while in Chicago. Could one of those things be AI?   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
