Episode 144: GDPR, Observability, & more on the mystery of serverless, still with half-assed research

“That was the problem: I was always Tech Matt.”

The title says it all.

Episode 143: Serverless now just means “programming”

August 10th, 2018  |  59 mins 43 secs

After some rumination, Coté thins that the people backing “serverless” are just wangling to make it mean “doing programming with containers on clouds.” That is, just programming. At some point, it meant an event based system hosted in public clouds (AWS Lamda). Also, we discuss Cisco buying Duo, potential EBITA problems from Broadcom buying CA, and robot pizza. Of course, with Coté having just moved to Amsterdam, there’s some Amsterdam talk.

Episode 142: Harness that peer pressure for good

July 27th, 2018  |  59 mins 13 secs

This week we cover all the important announcements from the Google Next Conference including: GKE On-Prem, Knative and “serverless containers.” Plus, an important parenting discussion on tying shoes.

Episode 141: Broadcom acquiring CA, AT&T acquiring AlienVault, the mysteries of cloud native vendor product management

July 12th, 2018  |  1 hr 7 secs

We try to discern the strategy behind two acquisitions this week: Broadcom buying CA and AT&T buying AlienVault. Seems fine. Meanwhile, you get to join conversation as we talk about how much different product management seems at cloud native vendors than traditional, “enterprise product management.”

Episode 140: Meanwhile, in microchips…

July 6th, 2018  |  59 mins 35 secs

For some reason, we talk about Intel. Plus, SUSE going PE and sun screen strategies for kids.

Episode 139: “Docker? Never heard of ‘em.”

June 29th, 2018  |  1 hr 5 mins

Why would a company buy Docker? With “near triple digit revenue,” perhaps there’s a good business model to match the interest in free, but, in turn, why would an acquirer want to pay for free? We speculate wildly, and without spreadsheets. Also, lots of people have been funded, there’s a new bundle of kubernetes releases, and we discuss t-shirts.

Episode 138: 8 Duffle bags, some permitted food enhancer and, GitHub goes to Redmond

June 7th, 2018  |  52 mins 49 secs

GItHub got bought so we breakdown what it all means for devs and open source. Matt Ray offers expert tips on relocating your family aboard as Coté prepares to move to Amsterdam. Finally, we announced the first live in person Software Defined Talk meetup in July somewhere in Austin. Don’t miss it.

Episode 137: “I didn’t choose the Immortan Joe life-style, it chose me.”

June 1st, 2018  |  48 mins 11 secs

There’s a new IaaS magic quadrant out that we finally take a look at. Plus, with some nerd-fighting in the kubernetes world, we discuss the point of all these blinking cursors.

Episode 136: That time Matt didn’t eat for 24 hours, or, #chefconf 2018

May 25th, 2018  |  58 mins 31 secs

“Packaging,” let’s talk about it - still your beating heart, dear listeners! We discuss the news, eats, and entertainment from ChefConf and then dip into the news from the OpenStack summit. As we meander between those two we also talk about kubernetes Helm, packaging, and how Docker is (they say) going to save you $50m in computer costs.

Episode 135: Coté's magical, mystery mortgage application workflow, or, "serverless: WTAFF?!"

May 18th, 2018  |  1 hr 28 mins

We discuss recent kubernetes news, London, and whatever the hell "serverless" is.

Episode 134: “Hardly enough diggities”

May 11th, 2018  |  1 hr 5 mins

Conference season is upon us so we recap all the announcements from Google I/O and Microsoft Build. We also discuss the Mesosphere funding and attempt to deceiver what exactly they are doing with DC/OS. Finally, we have recommendations for Mother’s Day gifts, making kid lunches and some talk of the Lego Millennium Falcon.

Episode 133: If only there was some way to automate software deploys, hopefully with yaml…?

May 5th, 2018  |  1 hr 12 mins

There’s a lot of container and kubernetes news this week what with KubeCon. We discuss some highlights from there, including Google’s gVisor project, angling to make life more secure in cloud native land. We then discuss Red Hat’s Operators, Chef, and related ways to package up applications and related configuration for deployment onto cloud platforms. Plus, once again, we finally solve how to calendar better.

Episode 132: Capturing dumpling juice, the Pentagon selects AWS, & Thor

April 30th, 2018  |  1 hr 5 mins

Eating dumplings, it turns out, is more complicated than just sticking them in your dumpling hole, as Coté found out in Bangkok thanks to a Singaporean friend. We’re live-to-tape from DevOpsDays Jakarta this episode, just Coté and Matt Ray. We discuss the Pentagon’s stubbornness of (seemingly) picking just one cloud provider for their major cloud project and then have an oddly lengthy discussion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Episode 131: How to eat (Hill Country) BBQ, plus, PE in systems management

April 20th, 2018  |  54 mins 22 secs

It’s hard to be a medium sized systems management (“monitoring”) company: you either have to niche it out and exit early, or go big. With some recent funding and PE activity in that area, Brandon and Coté discuss that. Also, a detailed HOWTO on eating Texas BBQ.

Episode 130: CROSS-OVER BONUS! Christopher Luciano on Kubernetes & Istio - Software Defined Interviews

April 12th, 2018  |  1 hr 29 mins

A sample from Software Defined Interviews: Why does kubernetes even exist, why don’t existing things work just as well for it? And then what kind of applications can you run on it, at least following the original intentions. Once we sort that out, we talk about the same for Istio. We also discuss hospital IT and how large companies like IBM decide which open source projects to work on.
