This interview was supposed to be about what Cisco DevNet is doing for application developers--and a good part of it is--but it also wandered into a really interesting chat about data security and how we should manage our personal information online in an age where the legal acquisition of that information can be as damaging or more damaging than a black hat attack. We also talk about Ashley's own developer-focused podcast (The DevTools Podcast with Ashley Roach), and the perils of parenting in the digital age. Enjoy!

Ep41: More on DevNet, and OMG What Have We Done with our Personal Data?

This is the first episode in the series we're doing at KubeCon Seattle. In it, James explains how his company is jumping from one public cloud to another with the help of Kubernetes. He also covers why they're doing it and shares his top tips for anyone else contemplating such a move.

Please forgive the dodgy audio. I'm working with some new audio equipment, and it may take a couple more shows to iron out the wrinkles.
