The #DevOpsDays Montréal 2024 people have spoken: the next iteration of DevOps is “Cloud Gardening”! ☁️🪴
“Beyond Platform Engineering: Engineering the Past, Hacking the Present, Transforming the Future”, a Gen AI-cat heavy talk by @adrianamvillela & @ataner!
Why AWS changed its policy on charging for HTTP errors on S3 buckets, how Bluesky dealt with an explosion in popularity by moving to on-prem, IBM buys Hashicorp, and our thoughts on cloud governance.
What “hybrid cloud” actually means to us. Where it works well, where it creates challenges, where the control plane should live, how to abstract differences between platforms to make workloads more suitable to be used in a hybrid setup, maintaining compliance across clouds, and guarding against security vulnerabilities in containerised dependencies.
There’s a new show in the Late Night Linux Family! Industry professionals Aaron, Gary, Sean, and Shane talk about public cloud, private cloud, and everything in between.
In this first episode: the big three public cloud providers have dropped egress fees, four years of lessons and regrets from running a startup, and avoiding surprise fees when learning cloud technologies with free tiers.
I’m excited to share I’m now the director of product management for cloud platform engineering 🥳
I’m going to be spending a lot of time looking at how people actually run software on the #CNCF landscape and build modern storage experiences for containers. The biggest learning opportunity is exploring the intersection of #PlatformEngineering and #ProductLeadership. If I know people exploring one or both, hit me up 🤙
Ever wondered when/how to effectively move a task/responsibility outside the team? To a Global/shared Function, a Subject Matter Expert, an external contractor, an Agency, a Team Topologies’ Platform team or a Complicated subsystem team.
Do you have a UX team? A DevOps team? A Platform team? A last-mile UAT team? A Release team? A Support team? Do they work as a boost or a bottleneck for you?
This is an exploration of when/how they are beneficial
I debunk the myths around #cybersecurity having unique concerns, explain why there’s more in common with #SRE and #PlatformEngineering than we think, and describe 8 opportunities for us to make our software security programs constructive vs. constrictive.
tl;dr #resilience ye merry gentlemortals, let nothing you delay
🤔 Have you always wondered what the difference is between GitOps vs. DevOps?
🧠 We’ve had a think for you and wrote up a blog article explaining what both concepts are, how they differ, what their similarities are, and why we think they work best when used together!
I've been so busy writing this talk (and doing everything else!) that I've almost entirely forgotten to tell anyone I'm even giving it 😅
But I am! And I'm very excited!
It's at #QConSF, on Tuesday, and it'll be in the #PlatformEngineering track. The title is "Understanding Platforms: What They Are, Why They Work, When To Use Them, How To Build Them"
It'll be awesome! If you're at QCon SF, come find me!
Structurally, this is the most ambitious talk I've ever prepared. It's either going to be revolutionary or a giant mess. But... I think it'll be more on the revolutionary side 😏
What made this so difficult to write is that it's aimed at three audiences: programmers, engineering managers, and engineering executives.
The goal is to give each their own framework of understanding for themselves, but also a way to understand the other perspectives and values.
No, inner source is not going to magically fix under-investment in your internal platforms. Most orgs are nowhere near the maturity or culture to make inner source work well.

"Platform Engineering is the new kid on the block in the world of DevOps and Continuous Delivery, at least that is the claim. To begin the process of adoption of CD it is useful to have people that know what they are doing and that can guide organisations toward success, but, at least in the messaging around Platform Engineering, it seems to be saying something different to that, and falling into a very old trap."Continuous Delivery Podcast
