Note: DevOps’ish will no longer publish an RSS feed. It’s a business decision at this point. Please subscribe via e-mail. Subscribers seem to be the only metric potential sponsors care about. This change should ensure the long term viability of DevOps’ish. Are you ready for KubeCon? I’m not, but I hope to be by end of day Friday. There are a number of events every night (see Events section). If your calendar isn’t booked and you’re looking for something to do, several sponsors are hosting things across San Diego. I’ll be arriving on Sunday midday and heading over to Cloud Native Rejekts. Monday, I’ll be helping at the New Contributor Summit. Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be non-stop Kubernetes and cloud native awesomeness. Thursday things seem to slow a little. When in doubt, I’ll be near the Red Hat booth or supporting my friends that are speaking. I tell my family that this is essentially our Super Bowl for the year. I hope it doesn’t disappoint. ...

I actually crossed things off my list this week. The little wins should be celebrated along with the big ones. There is something very therapeutic about erasing a line on a whiteboard or checking a box. That’s not celebration enough though. Make sure if you are doing complicated work that you take a moment to celebrate when it all comes together. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself. Morale is a huge part of this work. I learned this early on back in my military days and it has served me very well in the DevOps world.

Our vacation in Yosemite National Park was amazing. Thanks for sticking around. I jumped out of PTO into DevOpsDays Detroit 2019. It was a great event! My report is linked below.

This week’s introduction is brought to you by Corey Quinn. Send complaints Corey’s way: What’s made of comfy ring-spun cotton, available in your size and shape, AND guaranteed to start a flame war with your AWS pals? The 2019 Last Week in AWS Charity T-Shirt! This year’s shirts come in two flavors — one for each pronunciation of the acronym for Amazon Machine Images. Are you an Ahh-Me or an Ay-Em-Eye? Pick your preference, and wear it loud and proud! As usual, all proceeds from these shirts go directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which has helped increase the survival rate of childhood cancer from 20% to over 80%. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Now you can wear your inside joke on your chest, and your heart on your sleeve all at the same time.
