And it’s symbolic. The evolution of GenAI is definitely changing how we work in IT. The change may still not be very evident but we all know it’s coming. And we still need to understand what changes. Beside the StackOVerflow drop in popularity that is. https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-27-abby-bangser/ Wed, 06 Mar 2024 20:29:19 +0200 https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-27-abby-bangser/ Abby Bangser - The Best Platforms are Built on DevOps Principles I only recently had the honour to host Abby Bangser at a webinar on continuous optimization practices as applied to the Platform Engineering Maturity Model and now we finally got to record a DevOps Shorts episode too! Abby is a Principal Engineer at Syntasso building Kratix and is also the Platforms Working Group Lead at CNCF.

Everyone somehow related to DevOps and Platforms. And I really enjoy it when I get an opportunity to host someone who’s a real practitioner with fingers on the keyboard. This episode features a wonderful human being of this specific kind. Omkar Kadam is a Lead DevOps Engineer at Cactus Communications and an AWS Community Builder It’s always great to get the firsthand insights from practitioners. https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-25-turja-chaudhuri/ Wed, 03 Jan 2024 14:24:30 +0200 https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-25-turja-chaudhuri/ Turja Chaudhuri - Without a Platform your IT is a Mess Turja Chaudhuri is an Associate Director of Cloud Practice at EY.

It was originally developed at AWS specifically for runnning secure and performant Kubernetes nodes. It’s minimal, secure and supports atomic updates. According to this discussion - starting with Bottlerocket 1.13.0 (Mar 2023) new distributions will default to using Cgroups v2 interface for process organization and enforcing resource limits. In this post I intend to explore how this works for EKS clusters running Kubernetes 1. https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-23-hila-fish/ Tue, 24 Jan 2023 15:39:15 +0200 https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-23-hila-fish/ Hila Fish - Helping Business Evolve Hila Fish is a Senior DevOps Engineer at Wix, a singer, and DevOpsDaysTLV co-organizer.

The month before that was intense with sadness, fear, hope.. Visiting her in the hospital, watching her suffer one blow after another. She was a strong woman but this was too much even for her. In the end all she wanted was to leave. And leave she did. The deep sadness of the first weeks is now becoming lighter. It’s still there - just that I don’t feel it all the time. https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-019-steve-pereira/ Mon, 19 Jul 2021 20:35:17 +0300 https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-019-steve-pereira/ Steve Pereira - DevOps is a MacGuffin Steve Pereira calls himself a Value Stream Guy.

Since the start of pandemic it was mostly DevOps Shorts announcements. But lately I feel like I’m changing. Going through another life-period crisis. On a very positive note - I did some bio-hacking of my own - changed my diet, lost about 6 kilos of body fat and now exercise regularly. All this gives me renewed energy with which I feel like it’s finally time to change my business reailty. https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-18-jonathan-hall/ Tue, 23 Mar 2021 17:30:02 +0200 https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-18-jonathan-hall/ Jonathan Hall - Big Ideas for the Little Teams Johnathan Hall (aka TinyDevOps) is a DevOps coach and consultant based in Netherlands.

And she’s also special at that - because her background is neither Dev nor Ops. For the whole of her career she’s been a technical writer, a documentation specialist. And I find this wonderfully exciting - because first of all - DevOps has never been the sole concern of Devs and Ops only. https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-016-tracy-miranda/ Wed, 16 Dec 2020 15:25:57 +0200 https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-016-tracy-miranda/ Tracy Miranda - Fixing Real-World Problems is not as Easy as You Think Continuous Delivery is the practice underlying the DevOps principles.

At first it didn’t attract my interest. I thought it was something like a JavaScript framework. But then I got interested in Rust and stumbled upon an article about compiling Rust to WebAssembly. That’s when it occurred to me that WebAssembly had huge potential outside of the browser. And then WASI got released and Solomon Hykes (the founder of Docker) tweeted this: https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-009-adi-shacham-shavit/ Thu, 18 Jun 2020 01:37:28 +0300 https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-009-adi-shacham-shavit/ Adi Shacham-Shavit - Quality is Still Too Hard And our guest for tonight is Adi Shacham-Shavit - previously the R&D manager at such companies as AppsFlyer and Lemonade, now EVP Engineering at an early stage startup called Clear.

This is a story about growing together as a community and building a project that matters. Getting into the Mesh About a year and a half ago I got interested in service mesh technology. A customer needed some advanced routing capabilities and we started looking at Envoy and Istio. Then - invitations to talk about Istio at meetups and conferences started flowing in. That’s when I got excited about progressive delivery capabilities that service meshes enable. https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-007-derek-weeks/ Wed, 27 May 2020 19:31:35 +0300 https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-shorts-007-derek-weeks/ Derek Weeks - It’s All in The Feedback Loops!

How do I start this post without sounding banal? We’re all confused, aren’t we? Even those who say the Corona hysteria is unjustified. Even those who are relatively safe from contagion. Because no matter if anybody I know gets sick or not - there’s a new reality our there. Something none of us had to deal with before.

Most of the time it’s about cloud-native technology, professional mastery, healthy engineering practices and tech blogging/speaking. But sometimes they also come to me for career advice. And I’m definitely the wrong person to come to with that! My career as an employee in tech was far from amazing - rather filled with stress and despair. https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-is-a-myth/ Tue, 25 Apr 2017 00:00:00 +0000 https://antweiss.com/blog/devops-is-a-myth/ DevOps Is A Myth (Practitioner’s Reflections on The DevOps Handbook) The Holy Wars of DevOps Yet another argument explodes online around the ’true nature of DevOps’, around ‘what DevOps really means’ or around ‘what DevOps is not’. At each conference I attend we talk about DevOps culture, DevOps mindset and DevOps ways. All confirming one single truth - DevOps is a myth. Now don’t get me wrong - in no way is this a negation of its validity or importance. https://antweiss.com/blog/from-zero-to-one-with-peter-thiel/ Sat, 21 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000 https://antweiss.com/blog/from-zero-to-one-with-peter-thiel/ Blessed By a Flu I was down with a flu last week. Felt shitty but it was also a blessing of sorts as I got to spend a couple of days in bed reading a book. Gave me an opportunity to complete Peter Thiel’s [Zero to One] (http://zerotoonebook.com/). It’s widely known that we only remember 10-20% of what we read in books. Even those we really like. I liked Peter’s book but not enough to re-read it anytime soon. https://antweiss.com/blog/wrap-up-2016/ Sat, 31 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://antweiss.com/blog/wrap-up-2016/ So here I am again - drafting a post on my phone. In fact I’ve done this a number of times in the last couple of years. With wordpress it’s even perfectly possible to post right away - the mobile app is great. But since I wanted to be geeky and build this blog on Hugo and host on github pages - I’ll have to take the extra step. That’s exactly what I was talking about at DevOps Days TLV - creativity and geekiness usually don’t go hand in hand with efficiency. https://antweiss.com/blog/measuring-devops-flow/ Sun, 25 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://antweiss.com/blog/measuring-devops-flow/ During my recent talk at DevOps Days TLV I presented the 12 DevOps Flow Metrics we’ve developed for our clients at Otomato. The feedback was great and I got a number of requests to publish my slides. So we went ahead and created a github pages minisite with all the metrics laid out and explained. We’ve aimed at simplicity and conciseness. Here are the metrics: [http://devopsflowmetrics.org] Feel free to use and comment. https://antweiss.com/about/ Mon, 26 Sep 2016 18:11:06 +0300 https://antweiss.com/about/ Welcome stranger!

All this in no particular order and in parallel to being a male human being blessed to have a wonderful family and friends! Yes, we all get on each other’s nerves, but that’s what makes it fun!

Most of my writing is now around Otomato official blog, evangelism we do for Codefresh, white papers and articles. Oh yes and conference proposals. I’ve submitted quite a few lately. There’s one talk and a workshop already confirmed for start of December in Munich at DevOpsCon and hopefully there are more to come. I hope to be able to write more in the next few weeks as we’re going on a family trip in the US - which means I won’t be doing the day-to-day work for almost a month. https://antweiss.com/blog/2-months-of-otomato/ Sun, 15 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://antweiss.com/blog/2-months-of-otomato/ Going forward… 2 months have passed since I started [Otomato] (http://otomato.link) as a company. Things are going exceptionally well. We’re already working with Motorola, Codefresh, Beame.io, Taboola, Chilli software and more. We are looking to add some bigger logos to this list. We’re involved in various types of projects - from large-scale web services to IOT cloud solutions.
