Not actually a DevOps talk
I get asked to talk on DevOps a lot. Here’s my current (late 2016 and 2017) presentation, going over the why’s, the how’s, the technologies, and the meatware that supports including some best and worst practices based on what Pivotal customers do. See the newer slides with big pictures on most slides, and some of…

Getting Started — picking your first cloud native projects, or, Every Digital Transformation Starts with One Project
This post is pretty old and possibly out of date. There’s updates on this topic and more in my book, Monolithic Transformation. Every journey begins with a single step, they say. What they don’t tell you is that you need to pick your step wisely. And there’s also step two, and three, and then all…

Deciding where the Docker ecosystem will make money
The Docker forking hoopla is providing an interesting example, in realtime, of how open communities figure out monetization. #RealTalk: Open communities are not immune to C.R.E.A.M. One of the most important decisions an open source community makes is where and how it will make money. I always liked Eclipse’s take because they’re mega clear on this…

Questioning DRY
tl;dr Recently, I’ve been in conversations where people throw some doubt on DRY. In the cloud native, microservices mode of operating where independent teams are chugging along, mostly decoupled from other teams, duplicating code and functionality tends to come more naturally, even necessarily. And the benefits of DRY (reuse and reducing bugs/inconstancy from multiple implementation…

Self-motivated teams lead to better software
This post is pretty old and possibly out of date. There’s an updated version of it in my book, Monolithic Transformation. In contrast to the way traditional organizations operate, cloud native enterprises are typically comprised of self-motivated and directed teams. This reduces the amount of time it takes to make decisions, deploy code, and see if the results…

The recording for my talk at DevOpsDaysDays Chicago is up. As I mention in the opening, it has some material from my previous talks but is also pretty updated with new tips and tricks, as it were. Here’s the slides if you like that sort of thing. (And, here’s the clown zombie, from Day of…

DevOps Mumbo Jumbo & Zombies – thwackCamp panel
A few weeks back I was on a panel for a Solarwinds conference (done all online, in Solarwinds style, of course). Check out the recording a above (or just a 1 minute excerpt if you don’t have time). There’s also an article covering the discussion. For some reason we started talking a lot about QA,…

Coté Memo #074: \”Let’s start an anonymous club.\”
It’s mostly links this week, with a big add video ad for my pal below: Get your lurn on [player.vimeo.com/video/121…](https://player.vimeo.com/video/121473651?color=01786e&byline=0&portrait=0) Do you want to bone up on your product management skills?

What does IT need to start doing to become a software defined business?
I was asked to talk to do an internal, “brown-bag” style talk at a company this week. I chose to do a slightly more technical-oriented version of the talk I tend to give, commentary and pointers on moving your orginization over to relying on more and more custom written software to run your business. Here,…

The first wave of IBM/Apple enterprise iOS apps
A good looking list from the press release: Plan Flight (Travel and Transportation) addresses the major expense of all airlines — fuel — permitting pilots to view flight schedules, flight plans, and crew manifests ahead of time, report issues in-flight to ground crews, and make more informed decisions about discretionary fuel. Passenger+ (Travel and Transportation)…

docker has a straightforward CLI that allows you to do almost everything you could want to a container. All of these commands use the image id (ex. be29975e0098), the image name (ex. myusername/webapp) and the container id (ex. 72d468f455ea) interchangably depending on the operation you are trying to do. This is confusing at first, so…
