Tool Standardization

Today's topic is called the future of cloud computing. The cloud is just somebody else his computer, right? In this podcast, we will define what the cloud is and how we got here.  And take a look at some ideas or how it's going to move forward. see https://devon.nl/podcast for all the episodes.

Security is extremely important, but the measures are taken in some companies are too strict and those measures limit innovation and flexibility that is expected from today's DevOps Teams.

Today we discuss another awesome topic: Threat modeling. What is it, how you can use it and how does it contribute to DevSecOps, and finally how to make a success out of it!

Episode 13, and the first one of 2021! Today's topic is monorepos. We will be talking about; what is a monorepo, the advantages the disadvantages of monorepos and finally we will give you some advice and share some ideas on when to use it and when not to use it.

In this episode, our Accelerators Santaji, Remko, and Nawid discuss whether Cloud actually saves costs and how that translates to savings in the short term and the long term. Furthermore, we discuss how you should actually view costs and touch on different approaches on how to manage costs at scale in a cloud environment. Whether you are currently considering cloud migrations or struggling with managing costs, this conversation worth listening to.

In this episode, our Accelerators Remko, Nawid, and Markus discuss the benefits and drawbacks of Tool standardization. We look at the pros and the cons, is this suitable for big enterprises or only for startups? Where do you draw the line? When do you need to do it and when do you need to avoid it.

In this episode, our Accelerators Phani, Remko and Nawid discuss the benefits and drawbacks of Low code and No code platforms. We focus mainly on topics such as quality, maintainability, flexibility, lock-in and various other criteria when considering such a move. What does it mean for your workforce and how does it scale? How does the rapid development of applications with these platforms change our perception of quality? If you are using a low code platform or considering to do so, this conversation is one you do not want to miss.

In this episode, our Accelerators Nawid, Markus, Phani and our guest speaker Chris Stone discuss the origins and context of how the agile manifesto came to existence and whether it needs an update 20 years after its creation. We discuss what the agile manifesto has meant and what it has been lacking in general and also in more specific contexts. And whether alternatives to the agile manifesto, such as manifesto 2.0, heart of agile, modern agile or DevOps are the answer to these shortcomings. How has the manifesto and the principles of agile led our industry in the form of commoditization of certifications. And finally of course, can we apply Agile principles such as continuous experimentation and learning and continuous improvement to Agile itself and update it to fit the needs of the community in 2020? Whether you are working in agile teams or leading an agile organization or one that is transforming to agile, this is a conversation worth listening to.

In this episode, our Accelerators Nawid, Remko, Markus, Phani, Monica and Santaji join the conversation about cross functionality in teams and what it means to be t-shaped. As the demand for shorter software development cycles is ever increasing. One of the more significant contributors seems to be the creation of cross-functional teams and the elimination of silo's as we know them in larger traditional organization structures. Although, even when cross-functional teams seem to save the day at first glance, often we see that this is nothing more than simply making the silo's smaller instead of getting rid of them. T-shaping is one of the solutions proposed to combat this and make way for removing silo's wherever they may exist within your value chain. But how do we create cross-functional teams with t-shaped engineers? To get an answer to that question and many more, you may want to listen in to this episode. If you are struggling with the creation of cross-functional teams or motivating your engineers to become more t-shaped, this conversation is worth listening to.

In this episode, our Accelerators Nawid, Remko and Markus  discuss the advent of Infrastructure as Code and its implications on how we came to think about our machines. We talk about their advantages and disadvantages and how it has changed the world of Ops and Infra through cost reduction but also how these technologies have enabled us to distribute the load of infra management throughout teams. And what the impact of this evolution will mean for the skillset and capabilities of current and future DevOps teams.
