Episodes

  1. Interview with Robert Vettor of Microsoft - What Is Cloud Native?

    So what does "cloud native" mean exactly - and how does it fit into the DevOps and microservices movement as a whole? We've invited Robert Vettor from Microsoft Premier to talk to us for thirty minutes about this architectural framework and what it means for companies wanting to produce software...

  2. John-Daniel Trask of Raygun

    We welcome back an old friend to the podcast - John-Daniel Trask of Raygun! We talk about the importance of monitoring and making that connection with the customer experience, and what he's seen go right - and wrong - in working with companies large and small. We're huge fans of Raygun and see…

  3. Betsy Beyer and Stephen Thorne

    A great interview with Betsy Beyer and Stephen Thorne of Google, coauthors of the incredible "Site Reliability Engineering Workbook". We cover a lot of ground in this interview, including how Google learns from failures, what toil is and how good organizations try to fight it, and when LESS...

    So thrilled to have Gary as a guest on the Achieving DevOps podcast! Gary Gruver is one of my personal DevOps heroes and is very well known for his landmark books. His writing is powerful and pragmatic - revealing a solid background in the manufacturing field. He brings a process-driven…

  5. Michael Stahnke of CircleCI

    Had a great interview recently with Michael Stahnke of CircleCI! Back when I first met him, he was at Puppet – and I loved hearing his perspectives on continuous delivery and configuration management tools. Now he’s on to new things at CircleCI, as Platform VP. As usual we range pretty far and...

  6. Tyler Hardison of Redhawk Security

    Had such a great conversation recently with Tyler Hardison, the CTO of Redhawk Security. When I originally reached out to him for an interview in my book, I was primarily interested in what he had to say about DevSecOps and building security into the software lifecycle. What surprised me was the...

  7. Ryan Comingdeer of Five Talent Software

    I got a chance recently to get reacquainted with a very prominent figure in the Oregon tech industry - Ryan Comingdeer from Five Talents Software, based out of Bend. What he told me about security, how to learn from failure with gamedays, and how microservices and security are not just the domain...

  8. John Weers of Micron

    A great talk with John Weers of Micron Semiconductors. I think I interviewed about 2 dozen people for the book; John made more impact than anyone else. The Micron story intrigued me because it's not an "easy get" - fab facilities come with some unique constraints, including absurdly long lead…

  9. Nathen Harvey of Google

    We have a nice little sit-down with Nathen Harvey, formerly of Chef, and now at a little mom-and-pop startup called Google! Nathen is a heckuva guy and has me rolling around a few times; he brings a ton of enthusiasm and experience to the table. Join us as we talk about the role of configuration...

  10. Humana's Cloud Migration Story with Jon Cwiak

    About a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting with Jon Cwiak, an enterprise architect at the insurance giant Humana. I love the Humana story and I’ve been watching them overcome obstacles and challenges along the way – they always move upwards and their cloud migration effort is really starting…

  11. Change Is About Habits - Not Outcomes!

    Sharing some lessons I learned from my local gym, and how to create lasting change by thinking small... tiny even! We pull some great stuff from "The Power of Habit" and the Crossfit craze, and talk about how this can help set you up for success - personally and at work.

  12. Interview with Abel Wang, Part 3

    We wrap up our 3-part discussion with Abel Wang of Microsoft. Here's where the rubber hits the road - Abel talks with us about the importance of testing, the power of feature flags (Abel’s a tireless advocate for LaunchDarkly, one of our faves), how eliminating flaky tests is key, and Dynatrace.

  13. Interview with Abel Wang, Part 2

    Part 2 of 3. We continue talking with Abel about feature flags and how to handle estimates so quality is never on the chopping block.

  14. Interview with Abel Wang, Part 1!

    Our first 3-part interview! I love the energy Abel brings to the table, and his background as a serious coder makes his advice both pragmatic and spot on. He’s a fantastic speaker as well, if you’ve ever had the chance to catch him at a conference. (Check out his latest from Build 2018!) He wrote...

  15. Blameless Postmortems with Jane Miceli

    It's simply not true that the DevOps "unicorns" out there don't make mistakes. They simply do a better job of learning from and not repeating them, and this often starts with the art of the blameless postmortem. Join Jane Miceli and I as we bat around what makes blameless postmortems such a...

  16. Exposing Technical Debt Is Step 1

    In the book, Ben's team makes a single list of the "nonfunctional requirements" and shortcuts they've had to make - technical debt - their first step. Why is this important? We'll talk about Plimsoll lines, the BTE ratio at Microsoft, and why exposing technical debt should be your first step to...
