Sanjeev Sharma of IBM has a new book out called the DevOps Adoption Playbook, a guide to adopting DevOps in a multi-speed IT enterprise. Let me say that this is no book for dummies either.

The DevOps Adoption Playbook represents the sum total of the many DevOps lessons and learning that Sanjeev has accumulated in his role as a CTO and leader of DevOps at IBM. Much of it is based on the workshops he has done all over the world with literally dozens of enterprises.

As I told Sanjeev after reading the book, "in a market full of books on "what is", this is a book on "how to".  I think you will enjoy this chat.

Logs are increasingly becoming a big data analysis issue. So why not bring some AI to this big data problem? Loom Systems is doing just that and as a result is making it easier to analyze log data for actionable and meaningful results. I had a chance to sit down with Loom Systems CEO Gabby Menachem to discuss what AI means for the log analysis space and how it can make your job easier.

DevOps.com caught up with Gene Kim prior to DOES London 2017. However due to some sound engineering issues, this chat was not able to be edited in time for the preview of the great DOES London 2017 show it was intended to be. With more time we have cleaned up the file and while not perfect it is indeed very listenable with some great info from Gene. If you like you can also check the keynotes from the show, many of which Gene mentions here on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCnmJCc95ns&list=PLvk9Yh_MWYuyBf9AAlnI7Q6-zy_iDqRoh

When two legends in the InfoSec world start a new company, people take notice. Jeremiah Grossman and Robert "RSnake" Hansen recently announced their new venture BitDiscovery (http://www.bitdiscovery.com) was coming out of stealth, fresh off a venture raise and the acquisition Robert's company, Outside Intel. 
BitDiscovery offers a radically different way of doing asset inventory and website discovery. Rather than scanning when you want to discover your assets, with BitDiscovery, you just query the master database that the company has assembled and it tells you what it has already found there. 
This is possible because BitDiscovery keeps a snapshot updated constantly of just about the entire Internet. That is one Big Data based solution right there. 
Robert and Jeremiah are just the kind of guys to make something like this work. Also after speaking to them, I believe that with that kind of data, there will be a lot more uses for this technology that will present themselves to the BitDiscovery team.  
With the track record of these two pioneers, look for big things!

On a project to move one of Google’s Fortune 500 customers to Google Cloud, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Spinnaker open source, our DevOps Chat guest ran into the message “hang tight". No scripts or documentation. Not to be delayed, Miles Matthias, Google Cloud Consultant with Container Heroes, filled the gap and contributed his work back to the Spinnaker community.

This episode of DevOps Chats features a preview of Mile’s talk, “Monitoring Spinnaker with Prometheus Operator on GKE” he is is giving on Saturday, November 16th, 3:45 pm PT, at Spinnaker Summit 2019. Miles also talks quite a bit about Canary testing in this episode.

In the traditional datacenter world, security was (or is) very network-centric. Firewalls, IDS, Network Access Control, focus on the aggregation of all traffic traversing in, out, and across the network. Cloud-native applications rely upon different constructs and methods of building applications. It's not just the software and technology stack that requires different security in the cloud-native era.

We can't just surround cloud-native applications with security; we must build in security. And to do that requires you understand how container and microservices applications are made using DevOps. You must think about how DevOps works to build in security properly. Enter Lacework, a platform built for DevOps teams to build security into cloud-native applications.

Vikram Kapoor, Lacework Co-Founder and CTO, joins DevOps Chat to explore API-centric applications and infrastructure-as-code. We discuss how to build security into cloud-native applications through the DevOps-based software creation process, and not only rely on runtime security technologies. Vikram also discusses some of the planned uses for the recent $42m round of funding.
