I’m at DevOpsDays Austin this week. This must be the 4th or 5th one, and I’ve been to all of them. It’s a good show, put on by good people. Next week I’ll be at OSCON in Austin (find a discount code over in this week’s show-notes).
There’s mucho links this week, I even left some out! To find them all in real-time, go over to cote.io. It’s a WEBLOG, so you can even subscribe to the RSS if one of my fellow olds.

We hear about the days when Charles was drilling for oil. Also, waffles: “I suffered years of floppy-waffles.”
Red Hat, Moby, Docker CEO, and Halo Effect’ing The First Cloud Wars. Plus, APAC business travel.
Our podcast this week: There’s a whole slurry of myths about Cloud Foundry. With the platform updating so quickly, many of the issues behind these myths have long been addressed, and many were just false from the get-go. Coté and Richard talk about a recent post dismissing common myths.

Container networking and storage is hella-complicated. Check out this conversation with Usha Ramachandran, Richard Seroter, and myself on the topic, including a discussion of why it’s so complicated and how Cloud Foundry addresses the problems.
Previewing his CF Summit talk, Gary White explains what blockchain is and how it’s being integrated into Cloud Foundry as a service. We start talking about how blockchain works and what kinds of capabilities it provides, beyond just bitcoin. We use the example of a shoe supply-chain to go over an example of using a blockchain verified ledger. Gary then goes over some examples of blockchain could be used in Cloud Foundry and how folks he’s working with are integrated it into the platform for easy, reliable use by product teams.
