We’re live-to-tape from DevOpsDays Jakarta this episode, just Coté and Matt Ray.

Episode 124: “These pants are all too small,” or Dropbox and all the great public clouds

March 2nd, 2018  |  57 mins 11 secs

Dropbox made $1.1bn last year, which is mind-blowing. What can we learn from the way Dropbox wiggled it’s way into so many people’s lives (11m paying users, it seems) versus competitors like Box? Well, probably a lot more than where Apple, Spotify, and Dropbox run their stuff in - or out! - of the cloud, a topic we also discuss. Also, sheep-skin shoes are hot, too hot. Also, something about dtrace and zfs, I don’t know - just listen to it.

There’s also some home automation (IoT!) talk, namely, Coté needs to find the problem this great solution solves.
