DevOps Paradox

#120: From everyday conversations to important messages, words have a profound effect on our lives. As we are finding out in today's society (and really throughout time), words really do matter, especially from a technical perspective. But what happens when a word is used out of context or incorrectly? In this episode, we argue that it's time to take a very specific word out of our technical vocabulary.

#118: Do you know who your customer is? If you think the answer is "I don't have any customers", you would be wrong. Everyone has awesome customers. The question is are you working tickets for your customers or are you providing a valuable service for your customers?

#117: Many times, people question why gates exist in business. It's good to question why a gate exists. However, it's not ok to remove a gate without first doing the work necessary to figure out what will happen if the gate is removed.

#116: Individuals typically love to chase the new bright shiny technology objects. However, most enterprises go in the exact opposite direction and want any "new" technology to be fully proven out, i.e. for years, before that technology has a chance to actually be turned into a live production system. How can we help convince management to think differently?

#115: Are you still logging in and making manual changes to your servers and applications or have you started on the path to not only no touch production, but to no touch everything? If you aren't moving in that direction, why not?

#113: Are specifications still relevant in today's software development lifecycle? It depends on who you ask..and how old they are.

#111: Ever since Alex Birsan published his Dependency Confusion article in February 2021, the concept of the software supply chain has come to the forefront. The supply chain should not be a new concept to people, but many seemed to have been caught off guard. Today we talk about Alex's article along with a new project that allows you to manage your supply chain security in Tekton. https://medium.com/@alex.birsan/dependency-confusion-4a5d60fec610 https://security.googleblog.com/2021/06/verifiable-supply-chain-metadata-for.html https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/how-were-helping-reshape-software-supply-chain-ecosystem-securely https://portswigger.net/daily-swig/software-supply-chain-attacks-everything-you-need-to-know https://www.cisa.gov/publication/software-supply-chain-attacks https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/resources/blog/software-supply-chain-attacks/ https://deps.dev/ YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/ Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/ Kubernetes Chaos Engineering With Chaos Toolkit And Istio https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/chaos/ Canary Deployments To Kubernetes Using Istio and Friends https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/canary/ 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/

#110: It seems that everyone thinks that microservices solves every problem that can be imagined. In fact, there's probably a good chance that you don't even want microservices in your organization due to the new problems that they introduce.

#109: You've made the decision that you're going to drop your monoliths and move to microservices. Have you given any consideration how you are going to test your microservices? Beyond that, have you thought about how you can make testing easy for the consumers of your microservices?

#108: If you cannot define a thing, how do you know what it is? Is a microservice a function, a container, a VM, all of the above or none of the above? Today, we give you our definition of what a microservice is and where microservices should fit into your application architecture.

#107: As a software development community, we're used to hearing the terms sprints, projects, and agile. However, the people that sign our paychecks, in other words, the business people, could care less and wonder why everything is taking so long and why it is so complex. Today, we speak with Steve Pereira, the found of Visible.is, a consulting firm focused on value streams, and flow engineering, about what he sees when he speaks with his clients.

#106: There seems to be a great debate about what a DevOps engineer is and what a SRE is. Today, we throw our hat in the ring and attempt to dispel the myths that we see running rampant throughout the industry. Viktor's video for "What is the difference between SRE and DevOps?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgW4r9FxItI Transcript: https://www.devopsparadox.com/episodes/the-difference-between-sre-and-devops-106/#transcript YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/ Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/ Kubernetes Chaos Engineering With Chaos Toolkit And Istio https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/chaos/ Canary Deployments To Kubernetes Using Istio and Friends https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/canary/ 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/

#105: The following quote is attributed to Mark Twain, "History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes." Does this sound familiar? VMs. LXC. Containers. They are all (roughly) the same thing. So why do we keep recreating things that already exist?

#104: When a business decides to release code to production that hasn't been fully tested or is releasing because a date has been promised, that's a business decision and not a technical decision. However, at some point in the future, the debt will come due. Today, we speak with Dan Burns from Testifi about TDD, BDD, and why an organization must apply test automation the correct way or they'll find themselves playing catchup all the time.

#102: Are you a rule-maker or a rule-breaker? Hopefully we all agree that having guardrails up help us live a better life, whether personally or professionally. However, sometimes those rules get in our way of getting things done. Today, we take an introductory look at Open Policy Agent and Gatekeeper and try to figure out how using Gatekeeper can make not only our lives but the lives of our end users much easier when managing our Kubernetes clusters.

#101: What happens when you're doing a demo and your technology fails? You can get angry and write a blog post that goes viral. Today, we speak with Nicolas Frankel about his move from minikube to Kind, how Gradle is no better than Ant, and how the conference circuit is not meant for people that only want to work from 9 to 5.

#100: In our 100th episode, we bring back Patrick Debois, the GodFather of DevOps (at least we think so), as our "divide by 50" guest.

#99: In the nineties and early 2000s, it wasn't strange to see operations people copy and pasting "code" from Word documents, also known as runbooks, into their terminals to get their job done. It's now 2021 and we still have people questioning whether or not they should be writing code to do their work.

#98: How many times have you been put into the situation to debug a production issue and you have no idea where to start? Probably more than you can count. Worse yet, your employer expects that you can troubleshoot the issue without having access to all the tools that you need. Today we speak with Itiel Shwartz, CTO and co-founder of Komodor, a startup developing the next-gen troubleshooting platform for Kubernetes.

#97: A chess player knows to write down their moves so they can replay their matches and learn from them. Having the ability to replay those matches also gives you the ability to start over and see where something goes wrong. In today's episode, we speak with Viktor (Vik) Gamov about Apache Kafka and how it can help you breathe new life into systems that may not have been written in a way to take advantage of events.

#91: The Docker of 2021 is not the same as the Docker of 2016, especially when it comes to the tools around the Kubernetes ecosystem. Today, we talk about how Docker Compose should not be used to manage Kubernetes and how you should be developing Kubernetes based applications in 2021.

#90: Email. Slack. Kubernetes. These things have at least one thing in common. They are all event-driven. Even if you don't agree with that statement, we can agree that asynchronous development has taken off in the past few years, thus exploding the concepts of event-driven. We are now starting to see these concepts arriving in tooling space. We speak with Andi Grabner about Keptn, an event-based control plane for continuous delivery and automated operations for cloud-native applications.
