DevOps and Docker Talk: Cloud Native Interviews and Tooling

My friend Kevin Griffin and I talk about the tools we use often for working in development and operations teams remotely.

I sit down with Gianluca Arbezzano, a Docker Captain and Site Reliability Engineer at InfluxData. We talk about open source projects for monitoring and observability in containers and Kubernetes.

Brandon and I go through the last year of Swarm (SwarmKit) and what's happened so far in 2020, and talking about their future commitment to the built-in Docker orchestrator.

In this short episode, I cover some Docker upcoming events and announcements.

I answer some audience questions about serverless, and the future of containers... when a lot of the news out there is talking about functions as a service is "the future of everything". As usual, the answer is "it depends", but if you're a team that's already doing microservices and containers, and you're looking to deploy smaller features faster and cheaper, then serverless might help. For most of us though, writing and shipping functions only, rather than traditional applications, is years away, because we have bigger problems to solve first, like speeding up our deployment processes or improving our monitoring and recovery.

In this episode, I sit down with Gerald Croes of Containous from KubeCon. We talk about the release of Traefik 2.0, and other projects like their new Service Mesh offering on top of Traefik called Maesh.

Happy New Year container fans! In this episode, I talk with Brice Fernandes of WeaveWorks to discuss their latest Kubernetes and Docker projects. We also talk about GitOps, which is my favorite way to setup application deployments and infrastructure changes.

In this episode, I traveled to Vienna, Austria and hung out with my friend Laura Tacho, and we talked about the human side of DevOps. We challenged ourselves to not mention any specific tools, but...that didnt last very long.

In this episode, I chat with a powerhouse combo of Kelsey Hightower and Jérôme Petazzoni, who's combined influence in the container space can not be overstated. I was a bit nervous for this one, having such big stars on the show n' all, but I think it went great as we dove into various Kubernetes and container topics. This is surely "one for the books"!

In this episode, I talk with Elton Stoneman, an Architect at Docker. We talk about Everything Docker and Windows, covering topics like WSL, Windows containers, Docker on Windows Server, and more. And as a reminder, this podcast is listener supported by those of you that buy my Docker, Swarm, and Kubernetes courses. If you're already one of my 120,000 students, I thank you so much for your support. Just last week we launched Kubernetes Mastery, which lets you dive into hands-on with the leading container orchestrator. I built this new course with my friend Jérôme Petazzoni, who's been teaching Kubernetes and Docker longer than almost anyone. You can get coupons for those courses at bretfisher.com. We're launching more videos monthly, which you can get notified of on my newsletter, which is also at bretfisher.com

In this 50th episode, I sit down with two people from Cloudbees, Viktor Farcic, and Oscar Medina. We talk about CI/CD in Kubernetes and the GitOps-style of continuous deployment using Jenkins X. And as a reminder, this podcast is listener supported by those of you that buy my docker, swarm, and kubernetes courses. If you're already one of my 120,000 students, I thank you so much for your support. You can get coupons for those courses at bretfisher.com.

Now on with the show.

In this special episode, just a day after Docker announces they've split the company and sold their Enterprise products, I sit down with fellow Docker Captians Jeff Nickoloff, Michael Irwin, and Nirmal Mehta to discuss it, as well as the future of Docker's open source.

In this episode, I talk about proxying with NGINX vs. Traefik, and the proper protocol for image tagging in a CI environment. I give a quick "elevator pitch" on Kubernetes, and I talk about service meshes like Istio. I also cover adding a conditional healthcheck to delay a service startup until another service is healthy.

In this episode, I answer a few questions about Swarm networking, Traefik as your proxy using Consul to store its configuration, and then I go into deeper detail about logging in Docker.

In this episode, I have a great chat with Darren Shepherd, who is the Co-founder and Chief Architect at Rancher Labs. You probably know them for making, well, Rancher. We also talk about k3s, k3OS, RancherOS, RIO and k3v. It was a lot of fun and we covered a lot of ground on how they've launched so many Kubernetes projects in the last few years.
