“It turns out that all things that aren’t updated this minute have high profile security vulnerabilities.” @benjammingh on Docker #oio15

“This isn’t a mad hack. It’s a Google search.” @benjammingh on pushing secrets to public github repos (don’t). #oio15

“You know where you stand with attackers.” @benjammingh on where to place your trust: in bug bounty programs. #oio15

“Think it’s sounding like comp sci? You’re right; it is. I’m not even a computer scientist. It’s all gone horribly wrong.” @garethr #oio15

Fascinating tour of today’s unikernel landscape by @garethr at #operability.io; needs to be in @devopsweekly. #oio15

“Limited here by the slide, not the insanity of our systems. I could add more layers.” @garethr on unikernels #oio15

“Everyone wants to be the VMware of containers. If you don’t know why, go look at VMware’s market cap.” @garethr #oio15

New OSes: cluster-centric & pushed to filesystem as primitives (tho Zookeeper is amazing, nobody wants to run a ZK cluster). @garethr #oio15

If the general-purpose OS is over, what does that mean? These were written in 2014… about the 1970s. @garethr #oio15

Log everything, not just errors, to explore how software actually works in production when things are going well. @matthewpskelton #oio15

It’s cheaper to dig a new oil well than fix broken internal sensors; logging is essential. @matthewpskelton #oio15

Introducing these four core values correlated with lower operational pain & costs. @rich_archbold #oio15

“No reason for the giraffe. We wanted a mascot.” @capotribu Thanks @gotHighOps for sponsoring #operability.io! #oio15

Don’t deflect blame in incident status updates. It’s not constructive & won’t inspire confidence. @scootklein #oio15

“Imagine yourself sitting on this rock, on vacation, but knowing your cellphone is within reach.” @scootklein #oio15

You can improve team cohesion & the customer experience by practicing empathy. Think about building respectful systems. @emmajanehw #oio15

As decision thinkers and creative thinkers may clash, be clear on how much time to spend on each. @emmajanehw #oio15

Creative thinking may be underrepresented in your team: recognize it and appreciate it. @emmajanehw #oio15

Empathy is a skill we can learn. Be vulnerable. Collect stories. Listen. Respond. Refer back. @emmajanehw #oio15

The big public cloud providers spend billions and still have outages. You will too; plan for it. @davidmytton #oio15

Things you glorify are what your team will do more of. Don’t praise “heroics”: 4am crunch-time coding is _failure_. @mipsytipsy #oio15

“It’s such a relief to work with people who find disasters hilarious, not terrifying.” @mipsytipsy on value of humor in #opslife. #oio15

“You want a unicorn. Of course you do. Unicorns = amazing. […] You don’t get to hire an ops unicorn goddess.” Reality via @mipsytipsy #oio15

“Complexity exacts a staggering tax on your humans. Good ops eng attempts to pay down that tax.” @mipsytipsy #oio15

“Great ops engineers: really fucking good at learning on the fly. 2am. Site’s down. Suddenly you’re an expert at Redis.” @mipsytipsy #oio15

Lots of people who think they need ops teams just need someone who cares deeply about the health of their infrastructure. @mipsytipsy #oio15

Day two of #operability.io with @capotribu starting off by thanking the sponsors. Love that @pivotal is one! #oio15

The future @anne_e_currie describes seeks optimal use of all data center resources, cloud or not. #oio15 #operability

Dealing with scarcity in IT: a history. Specialization, physics, crowdsourcing. @anne_e_currie #oio15 #operability

Automation isn’t the point; it’s used in service of your actual goals. @kief #operability #oio15
