Adventures in DevOps

Achieving Engineering Excellence: Training, Innovation, and the Cloud - DevOps 213


Listen Later

In today's episode, Warren, Will, and guest Markus Thurner, the director of technology at Vista dive deep into the world of DevOps with an exciting lineup of discussions about engineering excellence, the fast pace of technological innovation, and the ever-present need for balance between training and production.


Together, they explore how practice makes perfect in software development, drawing from analogies like the Brazilian soccer player practicing with brain diodes. They talk about the costs and benefits of training engineers, managing cloud expenses, and the evolving landscape of on-premise versus cloud data centers.


They dig into the importance of challenging the status quo, the complexities of operational versus capital expenditures, and best practices for writing scalable code. Whether you're curious about the latest in Kubernetes and AWS ECS, or just looking for some practical advice on continual learning and improvement, this episode has something for everyone.


Plus, stay tuned as they share personal recommendations, from the best gaming tablets for those long flights to must-listen podcasts and even a Metallica song that ties back to a gripping World War I tale.


This packed episode concludes with a thoughtful discussion on engineering excellence, and how teams can find balance, define their metrics, and drive both innovation and quality in their projects.
