Getting ready for next week's SREcon, we picked another SREcon classic for this week's Talks We Like.
This is Netflix's Brendan Gregg's talk on using checklists when responding to performance issues. As Brendan puts it, "When Netflix is down, minutes matter, and there's little time for traditional performance engineering."
Fine-grained access control has been a core feature of Rundeck from the earliest days of the project. However, it wasn't always so easy to create and edit access control policy files.
Recent features added to open source Rundeck and Rundeck Pro make working with Rundeck's access control policies a lot easier.
In today's edition of Talks We Like, I'm highlighting a talk that anyone interested in SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) should watch: Ben Traynor's Keys to SRE.
Our industry has always had localized expressions for work that was necessary but didn’t move the company forward. "Busy work." "Monkey work." "Muck work." "Chores." Now, thanks to the SRE movement, there is a word we can all use. That word is “toil.”
The concept of toil is a unifying force because it provides an impartial framework for identifying — then containing — the work that takes up our time, blocks people from fulfilling their engineering potential, and doesn't move the company forward.
Did you miss our latest Office Hours session? Don't worry. We have the whole session recording right here. If you have questions after watching the video, please reach out to the Rundeck Team.
Companies are moving to self-service operations as a way to increase agility by reducing the friction of ticket queues and cross-department dependencies. Actions are moved to be within the reach of those who need them. Calculating the return on investment of self-service operations will always vary from company to company as each business operates in a unique environment.
