For the growing community of software engineers running production systems, an independent DevOps/SRE News podcast hits the scene with a sharp and smart news-like energy and conciseness to its set-up.
Promising focused, practical recaps of modern shifts in everything related to DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering, Ship It Weekly explores how modern software essentially takes things from the laptop to the wider world, and all of the problems that can and do arise along the way.
The podcast talks us through the journey from code to communication and beyond, and each individual episode takes on news items and developments alike to help you swiftly keep on top of all changes and progressions in the DevOps realm.
Hosted by Brian Teller, Ship It Weekly has a fast-paced vibe to its presentation, meaning that even a short, twelve-minute episode is stacked high with recent development issues, shifts, progressions, and struggles. This bite-sized approach means that anyone in the DevOps space can stay updated or quickly catch up on everything that’s come to pass in recent weeks. This includes platform trends, infrastructure changes, and a general focus on the format of; “What happened, why it matters, and what you might want to do about it in your own work environment.”
Ship It Weekly’s host doesn’t take a one-size-fits all approach to discussing DevOps. Instead, he explores the value of team culture and decision making, Terraform scripts and deployment workflows, by way of honest recaps that both inform and educate. This intends to critically uncover the truths of the development arena, and look at such topics as why moving fast isn’t always the best tactic.
On that note, a recent episode entitled “Special: When the Cloud Has a Band Day: Cloudflare, AWS, us-east-1 & GitHub Outages”, explores the widespread ache of cloud providers breaking down, and shares insight on the fact that many modern apps, websites and services don’t run on their own systems anymore – they are held down by massive data centres, controlled by huge corporations like Google Cloud or Azure. This episode digs into why cloud outages happen, the risks associated with use of the cloud, and how small failures can ultimately snowball into widespread downtime.
Ship It Weekly is a weekly DevOps/SRE news podcast that breaks down outages, incident writeups, and tooling releases into practical takeaways for engineers running production systems.
