DevOps Accents #26: Software Configuration Management with David Sandilands from Puppet

You can't not know Puppet if you call yourself a DevOps engineer. So, this one is for you, because we had a chat with David Sandilands a Principal Solutions Architect at Puppet in this new episode of DevOps Accent podcast. We discussed Puppet's past, present, and future and learned that virtual machines today are used far more extensively than you could possibly imagine! How? Listen to the episode and you will learn!

Also in this episode:
- What was the role of Puppet before and what is it now?
- How many companies use Kubernetes?
- The effect of inertia in technologies for bigger companies;
- How much time does it take to scale up?
- On prem vs. On cloud: cost effectiveness;
- Will VMs ever go away?
- Puppet and AI?
- What do companies ask for when they ask for AI?

🔐 Is your Google Cloud environment truly secure?

When securing cloud services like Cloud Run, Google Cloud Armor is often the go-to solution, offering top-tier protection against threats such as DDoS attacks and SQL injection. But here's the catch: the cost can be overwhelming for many businesses.

💡 To effectively use Google Cloud Armor, you need to configure it with a load balancer and backend. While it offers robust adaptive protection, accessing the full range of features might cost you €200+ per month, scaling up to €3,000 for enterprise-grade security.

But there are alternatives! Platforms like Cloudflare provide a more budget-friendly option, offering many similar features at a fraction of the cost. With a free basic plan and a pro plan at just €20, you get solid protection without breaking the bank.

Should you spend thousands a month for enterprise protection, or is Cloudflare the smarter choice for your business? 🤔

Check out the full article to explore the trade-offs and choose the right solution for your cloud security: https://mkdev.me/posts/can-i-use-cloud-armor-with-cloud-run

Hear ye, hear ye! There's a rumour of a fantastic beast called the 10x Engineer. In some spheres it is called 10x Developer. Today we decided to figure out how to catch and tame such a creature, what are they good for, or could it be nothing more than an urban legend? Elin Brusberg, a highly experienced development manager at Vitec Megler AS and chairperson at DevOpsDays Oslo, will help us in this endeavour.

If you want to catch a 10x Engineer, or are contemplating becoming one, then you owe it to yourself to listen to this episode. We've warned you.

In this episode:

🦊 10x developer — what is that?
🐰 Building a functioning team vs. relying on that one guy;
🐯 How to keep your engineers and developers engaged and invested?
🐼 Comfort vs. Challenge: how people are different sometimes;
🐨 Developer and business manager, how to build this relationship?
🦉 How to choose your hiring priorities?

Docker made containers really popular. It was the OCI standards that made them portable. But running a single container is just the start. When you're working on a large scale, you also need orchestration, networking, storage — and it's best to have standards for all of these.

In this wrap-up of the Dockerless series we cover:
🔹 CRI – swap container managers in Kubernetes without having to change Kubernetes itself.
🔹 CNI is the standard for container networking – just plug and play!
🔹 CSI – making storage and orchestration platforms separate
🔹 Kata Containers are lightweight virtual machines that act like containers.
👉 The bigger picture: containers, VMs, networking, and storage are all coming together into one standardised, open ecosystem for building infrastructure.
