| Yellow is the new Green! | Bill Roske | 33m |
Claims that pass/fail binary regression reporting drives unsafe behaviour and proposes yellow metric as the real release target: tests report step/assert-level… | ||
| From Launch Pad to Landing Zone: DevOps Governance with Terraform | Jim Counts | 40m |
Shows how Terraform automates a governance factory: a root launch pad that provisions tooling (Azure storage, Key Vault, Azure DevOps projects, service… | ||
| Mutability, Declarability, and Disposability, oh my! | Steve Traugott, Lance Brown | 29m |
Compares mutable (patch-and-tweak day two) versus immutable workflows that redeploy updated images instead of patching live servers, showing a three‑tier… | ||
| Enabling a Continuous Deployment Mindset | ANDREW JARDING | 34m |
A single cross‑functional team modernizes a monolith used by ~1,000,000 users generating ~30,000,000 cases/year, moving from 1 deployment per quarter ->… | ||
| Kubernetes cost optimization - How to actually do it | Annie Talvasto | 33m |
Claims concrete numbers: choosing the right VM family can cut compute line items by up to 50%, spot instances can be up to 90% cheaper but preemptible… | ||
| Kubernetes on AWS: Zero to hero | Annie Talvasto | 35m |
Compares EKS, ECS and Fargate with concrete tradeoffs: EKS adds a managed Kubernetes control plane but charges extra and needs expertise, ECS is simpler but… | ||
| Automate Your Career with a Personal Brand | Ashley McGlone | 41m |
