I Can’t Go to That DevOps Conference
Last year, I was able to attend 18 DevOps conferences. I saw some awesome presentations, met incredible people and expanded my knowledge of the latest practices at each conference.

Securing Immutable Servers in a Serverless World
Snowflakes are beautiful, unique creations. But, let’s keep them in nature. They don’t belong in our server infrastructure.

All Day DevOps: System Hardening with Ansible
The DevOps pipeline is constantly changing. Therefore, relevant security controls must be applied contextually.

DevOps for Small Organizations: Lessons from Ed
Ed was demoralized. He had just heard a speaker who would change his life. He knew he needed to change, and he knew what the end goal was. He just didn’t know how to get there. He needed fresh air. He needed endorphins. What better way to do that than go on a six-hour run […]
