Daily Reading List – June 20, 2023 (#107)

I’m back after a restful vacation, and starting to wade through thousands of unread blog posts and articles in my RSS reader. Here are the handful that I consumed today.

[blog] 5 Helpful Commands for Cloud Workstations. Nate shows off a few ways to spin up and interact with cloud-based dev environments. I suspect this will be increasingly useful for those using throwaway dev environments to quickly experiment with new technologies.

[blog] What is platform engineering? Good post from Donnie that offers a practical take on platform engineering, why it matters, and how it works.

[article] Reports of OpenStack’s Death Greatly Exaggerated. It feels like OpenStack peaked 7 or 8 years ago, but it’s plugging along and seems to have found it’s niche.

[blog] 2022 State of DevOps Report data deep dive: Documentation is like sunshine. What’s one predictor of good (technical) org performance? From this data, it seems like if you simply show me your docs and doc processes, I can tell if you’re good at software delivery.

[blog] Introduction to Firebase in .NET. .NET devs can have fun too! This post walks through using the Firebase platform and Firestore databases for .NET apps.

[blog] Proven Practices for Developing a Multicloud Strategy. Solid post from our friends at AWS. I agree with everything Tom says here.

[youtube-video] How Google Cloud reached 1 million subs. Fun video from our team that looks at the effort to earn one million subscribers to our YouTube channel.

[blog] Version after version; how the open source project Kubernetes releases its software. With thousands of contributors and many components, how does Kubernetes ship software? This post goes into good depth.

[blog] ​Change Fatigue In Digital Transformation: Where Has All The Value Gone? If you’re team is worn out from changes, maybe it’s not because of the effort, but because of mismatched rewards?

[blog] Cloud CISO Perspectives: Early June 2023. Here’s another strong roundup of security + cloud news.

[article] Kelsey Hightower Predicts How the Kubernetes Community Will Evolve. I’m always happy to hear thoughts from Kelsey, and this article doesn’t disappoint.
