I was a delegate for Tech Field Day 22 going December 9th through the 11th of 2020. Red Hat was one of the presenters on December 10th, and they came to talk about two things: OpenShift for Developers and OpenShift at the Edge. Since I am no developer, my area of interest was in what Red Hat is doing at the Edge. We talked about some interesting architectural challenges and maybe got a hint of things to come.

I was a delegate for Tech Field Day 22 going December 9th through the 11th of 2020. VMware present on the final day, December 11th, about their Cloud DR product, based on the acquisition of Datrium. Product market fit is a tricky thing, and it's something that VMware's Cloud DR team is working on. Their product certainly fits a specific type of customer. And if you're that customer, you'll be pleasantly surprised! If not, you will be a sad puppy. So is VMware Cloud DR good enough for you? Let's see.

When you start to create technical content, it's usually spurred on by an issue you encountered or a discovery you want to share. You're feeling passionate about the tech, for better or worse. The best content out there is made by those who have a connection to the technology and not just a passing interest. How do you select which tech to talk about? And what if you pick the wrong one?

To help me focus and study for the CKA exam, I have started a public GitHub repository to function as a CKA study guide. Each week I will focus on working through the domains and objectives in the exam, and I will add them to the study guide. Hopefully, I will add some code examples as well. Others are welcome to contribute or just follow along!

My goal was to get my Raspberry Pi 4 to PXE boot, and I failed. A lot. Like multiple times over the course of four hours. And that's normal. That's just how technology works. We tend to talk a lot about our successes and how awesome the things we do are, but not enough about failure. Well, here you go. A whole video that ends in my failure. Enjoy!

There were a lot of announcements made at the day one re:Invent 2020 keynote, and they all followed the reinvent idea very closely. They also embraced the fact that not everything is going to move to AWS, and maybe it doesn't have to.
