• Why DevOps is not important

Continuous Delivery is the practice underlying the DevOps principles. That’s why for this episode of DevOps Shorts I’m incredibly excited to interview Tracy Miranda - the executive director of the Continuous Delivery Foundation.

- Why Kohsuke Kawaguchi created Jenkins

- How to avoid becoming obsolete in the rapidly changing IT industry

That's why I'm so excited to have J.Paul Reed as my guest. Paul is one of the most passionate promoters of resilience engineering practices. He's a co-organizer of REDeploy, a frequent speaker on related topics and now also a senior applied resilience engineer at Netflix.

And he's also a great story-teller!

This episode is also slightly longer than usual because in the end Paul goes into what I considered too important to stop him - the distinction between reliability and resilience.

Listen to the episode to learn:

- Why release engineers are the air traffic controllers of IT

- Why it's important to treat humans as humans

- What really leads to a DevOps A-HA.

- How DevOps changes people's lives

- Why user interfaces need to evolve in order for DevOps to evolve

I'm so thrilled! My guest for tonight is Mark Burgess - a "technologist, scientist and author, specializing in the physics of Information Systems" (quoted from Mark's website).

Mark is probably best known to the IT crowd as the man who defined the ideas behind **desired-state configuration management** and the creator of the CFEngine CM tool that predated Puppet, Chef and Ansible and is still in use at quite a number of companies.

But for me Mark is first and foremost the mind behind Promise Theory which provides a new outlook on how effective collaboration between free agents occurs in complex systems.

I was thrilled and humbled to have Mark as my guest because his ideas and thier implications are omnipresent in the systems we build and those we're part of.

Listen to the episode to learn:

- What's the connection between physics and information

- Why IT moves so slowly

- If playing with Kubernetes can make society a better place

If you find Mark's ideas as fascinating as I do - make sure to check out his latest book Smart SpaceTime and a documentary series "Bigger, Faster, Smarter" on Youtube.

And if you really want to benefit from Mark's deep understanding of complexity - he's also providing consultancy to large IT organizations looking to adapt their systems and processes to the changing reality of our tumultuous world.
