(Video) Interview with a real DevOps Practitioner

#devops #career #vide #aws

Hey Folks,
So I will try and keep this short as the real content of this post is of course the video itself and the wonderfully wise words that my interviewee delivers.

If you are interested in DevOps at all then this video interview is for you. Basically I ask a real DevOps Practitioner that works and has worked in the DevOps world for many years lots of questions all about DevOps, from the basics, like what it is and how to get involved and learn DevOps techniques all the way to asking questions about DevOps frameworks (CALMS) and even security's involvement in DevOps...

Anyway, I thought I would just post it here to you wonderful people incase anyone had an interest and the gentleman that I interview (Jamal) is incredibly insightful and full of wisdom that he openly shares. I honestly learnt so much just interviewing him so I am sure you can gather a bunch of useful information (or at least jumping off points) that you can take back to your respective companies or places of work/devving...

This video in total is nearly half an hour long so for your benefit I have included in this post the questions that I asked and timestamps to those questions in the video so that you can jump ahead if you would like to. I have also included links that are discussed in the video so that if you don't even want to watch the video then you can at least gain something from this post in regards to places online where you can learn more about DevOps and engage with the DevOps community!
