Just kidding ;)

Today we are discussing Configuration Management and Infrastructure as Code. Yes, there is a difference! At least, we think there is. What about you?

We dive into our favorite CM/IaC tools, what cool things we like to do, where they helped us out, and what we would do if we were running our own thang.

Leave us questions, comments, feedback, and more on Stitcher or iTunes!

We're back! After both Mike and Phil destroyed their computers in epic fashion, we have returned to record our AWS conclusion and dive into our projects.

It's been one year! How crazy is that? We dive into where we were when we started, where we're at now, and where we think we're going career and podcast wise!

Where we have gone the past year?

Did we see ourselves going down this path?

What did the first year of our podcast teach us?

Is there anything this year that we hope we could've changed?

Where do we see the podcast going?

What primary technologies we want to work with in 2019

AWS – EC2 and S3 exam experiences

Hey everyone! Today we start to go over our experiences in studying for the AWS Solutions Architect exam, plus some catching up on Kubernetes and container stuff. 

We then discuss the merits of having a cert versus just the foundations, and then circle back into what tripped us up on the exam.

Enjoy!

EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

Hey all! We were excited to start a new episode after the holiday, so this might not have been as clean and PG as we wanted ;) 

Also, Ruby and Python discussion gets violent.

BTW we don't use Emacs, and you shouldn't either :D 

From Chris: See you next yea--

Mike and Phil: OMG SHUT UP.

Today we had the honor and privilege to be joined by a prominent leader in Information Technology. Microsoft Partner, business owner, Sysadmin, husband, father, podcaster, and gamer, Paul Joyner has been in I.T. since before Exchange had years appended to it! 

We discuss Paul's origin's into I.T., Hybrid Cloud and Pure Cloud solutions, managing the business and the technical side, automation through SaaS and tools, and more.

Thank you Paul, it was truly a pleasure having you on today.
