Episode 122: Don’t get wasted at sales kick-off, Coté needs to stop being so pessimistic


Listen Later

It’s our annual surviving sales kick-off show. There’s some exciting developments in Coté’s life on the stage and trenchant tips from Matt and Brandon (spoiler: don’t get wasted!). We also discuss the odd trend of kubernetes now actually not being for mere mortals and then Coté complains about writing talk submissions for CFPs.
Hard-hustle shameless self-promotion

Kubernetes Korner
Bluebox turned out well (https://twitter.com/jesseproudman/status/961340998730346496). Real A-Team over there (https://twitter.com/cote/status/961341524620562433).
Jay@451 has some Heptio packaging and pricing (https://451research.com/report-short?alertid=1098contactid=0033200001wgkckaa2entityid=94289type=mis): “HKS is offered in four tiers including Starter, with one supported configuration, unlimited tickets and up to 25 nodes; Professional, intended for organizations that are growing their deployments, with up to three supported configurations, unlimited tickets and up to 250 nodes; Enterprise, for large, mission-critical environments that covers up to five supported configurations, unlimited tickets and up to 750 nodes; and a Custom version, intended for the largest web-scale environments of more than 750 nodes. Pricing starts at $24,000 per year for the Starter tier.”
Pivotal Container Services (PKS) is GA (https://content.pivotal.io/blog/secure-multitenant-kubernetes-in-minutes-pivotal-container-service-goes-ga).
Kubernetes is a bully (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/02/07/kubernetes_hegemony/)?
Oh, and also, you’re not supposed to be excited about kubernetes any more (https://twitter.com/cote/status/963481741171265537)…?
Bonus: Is DevOps still a thing? (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/02/06/devops_no_ops_less_ops/)
Coté is negative
Matt Ray could probably write this abstract (https://www.papercall.io/speakers/cote/speaker_talks/61621-devops-who-never-lived-can-never-die-or-the-many-faced-god-of-operational-excellence) with more rainbow.
See the other punch in the gut talks (https://www.papercall.io/speakers/cote) Coté has.
