We discuss security related to the colonial pipeline, and what we could do to improve against ransomware attacks.

What are the different things that are impacts in that type of attack. And it's really a good exercise in thinking about security, especially security of secondary systems, and hard networks. very robust, resilient conversation.

1x1 discussion with Andi Mann, He's a real leader when it comes to infrastructure, automation, DevOps, analysis, just putting everything together. And we had an amazing conversation, ranging the whole gamut of how to make technology better. complexity, hybrid, open source. You name it, we covered it!

General topics of interest: learning DevOps, and tech roadmaps, and how to build up to skills, infrastructure pipelines, release management, and more. These are topics that we want to dig into over the next several months.

How will we secure infrastructure in the future? Why is so hard to get security taken seriously? Because it's a supply chain problem. a vendor problem, AND a customer problem.

We have to solve this because it threatens to undermine very fabrics of what we've been building together.

We go DEEPLY into the practice of image base (aka immutable) deployment.

Image based deployment is when we building infrastructure by cloning systems. That means actually writing the system image directly to disk. We typically start a VM, where it's already on the disk, and then clone that to an existing system.

We started with the idea of what should our infrastructure be if we were going to get the perfect thing, the ideal thing and then work backwards?

We focused in on home and industrial uses. That led us into the way we think about building technology.

All about security, zero trust data, and shared homomorphic security.

If those terms mean something to you, you will find our conversation fascinating. And if they don't, you better be listening, because these are really important concepts that come together for how we will secure data in the future.

And we really believe that these are transformative technologies that challenge the current status quo.

We went deep into vendors, specifically Red Hat. So if you like vendor gossip and speculation then you'll love this. We talked about Red Hat, IBM, Oracle, a couple other vendors of note and speculated on their strategy.

Is there a Jevons Paradox of Complexity? We started by asking key questions like: How much complexity is too much? How do we measure it? What's the business risk? DId we make complexity cheaper or just hide it away? Is there a price to be paid for building incredibly complex systems?

We answered these and more in the reference of business concerns and the business value.
