Episode notes
The Isolated Cloud Head
- Nana Janashia recalls a time when cloud infrastructure was managed by a single person in an isolated room.
- This 'cloud head' worked separately from the software developers, highlighting the historical siloing of infrastructure management.
IaC's Ripple Effect
- The shift to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) brought infrastructure management closer to developer workflows.
- This shift enabled key improvements like blueprints, automated pipelines, and improved collaboration through Git.
Tame the Kubernetes Beast
- Newcomers to Kubernetes should focus on using the cluster, not administering it.
- Learn basic deployments, services, and how to deploy dockerized apps; advanced administration can come later.
