This weeks we discussed how to approach a new position / consultation gig. What do you tackle first? How do you map things out?

In this episode we discussed something we deal with occasionally - understanding a problem or a pain, thinking of a solution, and then implementing this as a tool or a product. We share some tips that can help out when starting to build, both from the engineering side but also from Ops perspective.

This week we took a break from best practices and procedures and talked about some hot news - AWS starting to charge for public IPv4 addresses - what should you do? How to mitigate, when does it start etc.
The other topic was Israel's shiny new region, pricing, reasons to use and some AC considerations if you ever decide to build your own data center!
