As my regular readers know, I started a series on companies that I found intriguing who were going to Jenkins World both late (a couple weeks before the event started), and ad hoc. That meant that companies I talked to on a regular basis came to mind, simply because I knew what they were up […]

Snowflake servers, where every configuration is just a little different, can introduce unnecessary security vulnerabilities and complications. While common in IT infrastructure, in the DevOps realm they are gradually becoming ancient history. At All Day DevOps 2016, Erlend Oftedal (@webtonull), […]

Developers have been versioning their source files since the early days of Unix. Anyone else remember SCCS? Back in those days, storage was at a premium: Disks were small and very expensive and it was too inefficient to store a complete copy of each version of the source file.
