Lisa at the Edge

In this episode I am joined by Martyn Coupland. 

Martyn is the DevOps Technical Lead at Virgin Atlantic. 

I first met Martyn a few years ago at a user group and was blown away by his infrastructure as code skills. 

Martyn has just launched his own podcast called DevOps Squared so be sure to check that out. 

In this episode we discuss what is DevOps and surprisingly don't mention any technology. I ask the questions 'Is there such a thing as a DevOps engineer?' and is 'DevOps only for the public cloud?'

In this episode myself and Kenny Lowe Senior Engineering Technologist at Dell Tech and Azure MVP are lucky to be joined by Jeff Woolsey Principal Program Manager at Microsoft looking after Azure Stack HCI, Windows Server and all things Hybrid cloud.  

This episode is the result of a threadzilla on Twitter where there was a hot debate on Azure Stach HCI's naming convention.  Is it just a marketing ploy? Does it mean something more? Is it a sign of things to come? So of course I address this topic with Jeff.  

We also discuss Azure Arc, Windows Admin Centre and Azure portal and the use cases for each.  We go in to a bit more depth on Azure Stack HCI use cases and we get a cheeky glimpse of what is to come for Azure Stack HCI! 

I look forward to having Jeff back on Lisa at The Edge when he can talk more about future announcements.

In this episode I am joined by Darren Small Microsoft Azure Stack Global Black Belt, Kenny Lowe Azure MVP and Senior Engineering Technologist at Dell Technologies as well as a super special guest Dino Bordanaro, Azure MVP and owner of Bordonaro IT in Germany.

We discuss why Azure Stack Edge is a perfect sidekick for Azure Stack Hub, the benefits of a disconnected Hub, what it means to run an appliance in your datacentre, AKS Engine and answer some questions. We also talk a bit about the barriers to innovation and why a culture shift and deep understanding of customer issues is required to reach the potential of this new edge capability.

We discuss Sarah's role as a Cloud Advocate and how she never imagined herself in this role.  We talk creating content, whether surviving a pandemic should be seen as a productivity contest or not and I hesitantly share my thoughts and feelings on 'Woman in Tech' events and it turns out Sarah feels the same.
