DevOps Underground – 2 Presentations: Kubernetes Ingress & DevOps and Microservices Better Together
Our dev team will be at the Skills Matter DevOps Underground meet-up on Thursday evening. The meet-up has two presentations; the first from Mark Boddington looking at the history of containers and have Docker has become the go-to app for application packaging. It will also look at Kubernetes and how this has itself become top dog, beating Docker even, for all things orchestration and finishing off looking at the Ingress Specification and the NGINX Ingress Controller.
The second presentation by Sean Farmer “DevOps & Microservices Better Together” takes a look at what it takes to successfully transform your DevOps team and functions. Looking at everything from testing and deploying work, how your DevOps team works within the wider business teams, and how you can reduce the lead time of rolling out those all important new features. The presentation will help you identify what things might hold you back, and what you can do to overcome those obstacles and succeed.
Speakers: @farmar & Mark Boddington of @nginx.

Beyond Uptime: Building a Self-Healing OpenClaw Observability Stack
3 min read The allure of OpenClaw is undeniable. You deploy a highly autonomous, self-hosted AI agent, give it access to your repositories and inboxes, and watch it reason through complex workflows while you sleep.

When AWS us-east-1 Fails, Much of the Internet Fails With It
7 min read There are cloud outages, and then there are us-east-1 outages. That distinction matters because failures in AWS’s Northern Virginia region rarely feel like ordinary regional incidents.

In the Age of AI, Operational Memory Matters Most During Incidents
7 min read Artificial intelligence is making software easier to produce. That much is already obvious. Code that once took hours to scaffold can now be drafted in minutes. Boilerplate, integration logic, tests, refactors and small internal tools can be generated with startling speed. In some cases, even substantial pieces of implementation can be assembled quickly enough to

AI Didn’t Kill the SDLC. It Made It Harder to See
10 min read Whilst AI has compressed the visible stages of software delivery; requirements, validation, review and release discipline have not disappeared. They have been pushed into automation, runtime and governance. The real risk is not that the lifecycle is dead, but that organisations start acting as if accountability died with it. There is a now-familiar story about

When Code Becomes Cheap: The New Reliability Constraint in Software Engineering
4 min read How AI Is Shifting Software Engineering’s Primary Constraint For most of the history of software engineering, the primary constraint was production. Code was expensive, skilled engineers were scarce, and shipping features required concentrated human effort. Velocity was limited by how fast people could reason, implement, test, and deploy. That constraint shaped everything from team size,

Buy vs Build in the Age of AI (Part 3)
5 min read Autonomous Code, Trust Boundaries, and Why Governance Now Matters More Than Ever In Part 1, we looked at how AI has reduced the cost of building monitoring tools.
