Mitchell Ashley and I have been doing podcasts together since about 2007 or so. Back then the subject matter was security. But now with the launch of devopsy.kinsta.cloud we are launching a new series of podcasts on DevOps. In doing so we are joining a small field of quality podcasts on DevOps. Podcasts like DevOps Cafe and Arrested DevOps have set a high bar of quality. Eventually Mitchell and I hope to join them. Our podcasts will be shorter than some of the others though. They will be supplemented with Mitchell or my notes from the show.
So here is our first episode. We really just introduce Mitchell and I to the audience and talk a little about some of the stories on devopsy.kinsta.cloud over the last week. In the future we will have guests and dive a little deeper into the world of DevOps.
