Adam Jacob from OpsCode at Velocity 2010
Probably one of the best presentation I’ve seen in the last year was given by Adam Jacob @adamhjk at #Velocity last year. Adam touches on his insights on #devops, and how to progress through your technical career or startup in his “Choose Your Own Adventure” talk.
Adam Jacob – Operations
Your job is two things. Are you ready?
1. System Availability. Is the system down? BRING IT UP. That’s it.
2. Efficiency. Of everybody in the entire organization.It’s your job to make it so everybody else has an easy job. If they have a hard job, you’re screwing up the only other thing you’re supposed to do, and that means you’re doing a bad job.
Adam Jacob – How Web Sites Fail
CAP Theorem
Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance. Pick two.
Adam Jacob – Infrastructure as Code
Enable the reconstruction of the business from nothing but a source code repository, an application data backup, and bare metal resources.
Adam Jacob – Cloud Bursting and Other Magical Unicorns
You probably can’t. At least not how you think.
Adam Jacob – Startups
Obsessing over the details can lead to disaster. Find out what really matters to the success of your startup.
And perhaps my favorite of the series, on #devops:
Adam Jacob – DevOps
Cultural and Professional Movement.
Traditional operations? That shit does not work on the web!
Adam will be delivering round 2 of Choose Your Own Adventure this year at Velocity 2011. DO NOT MISS IT!
