DevOps Paradox

#225: How did Kubernetes become the predominant choice for modern-day DevOps teams? From changing how applications run to reshaping security parameters, learn how this open-source platform continues to turn heads.

In today's episode, we talk with Craig Box, VP of Open Source and Community at Armo, as he uncovers the secrets behind Kubernetes. From Google's original vision for the tool to its unexpected rise in popularity within the DevOps community, we'll explore Kubernetes' improbable journey. Also, we'll get insights into managing potential security issues, and learn how Kubescape is transforming Kubernetes' security landscape.

#224: Are boot camps and CS degrees always necessary for landing a job? Or, can hands-on learning through eLearning platforms bridge that gap?

In today's episode, we speak with Lane Wagner, creator of boot.dev, to learn about the obstacles new developers face on their journey to becoming proficient back-end developers.

#223: Maybe you've been in the tech space for years and you're ready to get into open source. On the other hand, you may be fresh out of school and you're trying to build your CV. What project should you start to work on? The answer is easier than you think.

In this episode, we speak with Dotan Horovits, Principal Developer Advocate at Logz.io, on topics ranging from running an in-person event to the proper way to engage in open source communities.

#222: Where do you start when you are having performance bottlenecks in your application? You might start looking at a log or a dashboard. What if there was a better way?

In this episode, we speak with Kursat and Fatih, co-founders of Ddosify, about how the standard way of analysis will become a thing of the past.

#221: As an application developer, how often do you receive spreadsheets of findings from your security team? Do you drop everything you're doing and work your way through the 57,239 findings during your existing sprint? Our guess is probably not. Even if you did, how would you know where to start? Just because a finding is marked as critical does not mean that it's exploitable.

In this episode, we speak with Ravid Circus, CPO at Seemplicity, about how you should be handling and remediating these security problems. Hint: it's not by using spreadsheets, but rather it needs to be in your day to day work.

#219: In a world overflowing with data, traditional relational databases struggled to keep up with the demands of scalability, flexibility, and performance. Enter NoSQL, a groundbreaking approach to database management that shattered the limitations of the past.

In this episode, we talk with Matthew Groves, developer advocate for Couchbase, about his thoughts on SQL (the language), where you should actually start programming if you're new to the industry and why conferences and user groups are starting to make their return.

#218: Continuous testing has become an integral part of modern software development and delivery. It enables organizations to maintain high quality and agility in the face of rapid software iterations. But how can we harness the power of artificial intelligence to enhance and optimize the continuous testing process?

In this episode, we speak with Bharath Vantari, Principal Presales at Perforce for Blazemeter, about how we should start thinking how we can add AI into our continuous testing process.

#217: Extended Berkeley Packet Filter, or eBPF, has been making waves in the tech industry over the past few years. It's a technology that enables you to extend the functionality of the Linux kernel without having to write kernel modules. But what exactly is eBPF, and how does it impact our systems, networks, and security?

In this episode, we speak with Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer with eBPF pioneers Isovalent, about where eBPF started and why you may never write a line of (byte)code of eBPF yourself.

#216: As your team continues down the microservices journey, at some point you've probably hit the wall on being able to test against the versions of the other services that you really need to test. You could spin up new hardware, but that becomes very inefficient and very costly very quickly.

Since you are running your production (and staging and QA) environments in Kubernetes, there has to be an easy way to do this type of testing.

In this episode, we speak with Arjun Iyer, CEO and Co-founder at Signadot, about how sandboxes within your Kubernetes clusters can help with your testing problem without breaking the bank.
