Tanzu Talk

Episode 165: Accidental universal control plane, with Joe Beda

In this episode, we talk with Joe Beda about, of course, kubernetes, but also about an organization's platform, the roles that work in the software supply chain in enterprises, types of developers, and other topics like what DevOps "is" now. This discussion will give you a good view of how to model and think about enterprise software development and operations now-a-days, and thinking through the strategy you want to take to transform your organization to be cloud native.

Episode 164: It’s Tanzu!, a look at the VMware Tanzu portfolio with Jared Ruckle

VMware recently released and outlines its Tanzu and major updates to vSphere. To understand how the Tanzu Application Service, Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, vSphere and VCF all fit together, we have Jared Ruckle on. He walks us through the portfolio, new names and products, and we discuss where the Tanzu products are positioned in the cloud native stack. Also, a discussion of Latin.
As Coté mentioned, we have Spring Live coming up, a 24 hour online conference chocked full of developer content, plus some cloud native infrastructure and culture talk. You can attend for free. And if you miss it, don't worry, it'll be recorded to watch later.

Episode 163: Developer Experience is a Team Effort at Liberty Mutual

"The more we can get into our [developers'] hands [...] the faster we've seen adoption, the faster we've seen growth, the more we've seen folks understand the tools because they're diving in and taking ownership" - Miranda LeBlanc, Developer Enablement, Liberty Mutual
In this episode, Dormain chats with three people (Miranda LeBlanc, Matt Ruel, and Kevin Ingvalson), all with different roles that impact the developer experience at Liberty Mutual. She finds out what moves the needle, what changes when you think about getting to production as part of the developer experience, and why containers matter... But the meta takeaway is that all three are laser focused on building a delightful (and secure) experience for developers. That alone speaks volumes to how far and wide the "developer centric" mindset can and should go.

Episode 161: The kubernetes community, being a good corporate citizen in open source, with Dawn Foster

In this episode, I talk with Dawn Foster about companies working in open source, the kubernetes community, and a few other topics. I was especially interested to hear about the goals of the kubernetes community, what is it that that community wants? We also discuss: the multitude of roles in open source communities, beyond programming or even documentation; why hardware vendors get interested in open source; and what's kept Dawn working in open source all these years.

Episode 159: A Checklist for API Security with Wim Remes

As a security expert and consultant, Wim Remes (@WimRemes), was fed up with clients using security products that had lacking API security themselves. But he knew that it was a multi-faceted problem that couldn't be addressed in one place. So, he developed a maturity model for security APIs that could serve as a check list for clients evaluating products, procurement teams involved in purchasing security products, and security vendors building the products. As it turns out, it's a pretty good checklist for any developer building APIs.
