Sascha Bates, "Bratty Redhead" at O'Reilly Velocity Conference 2013, with John Furrier and Jeff Frick
#velocityconf @thecube
From the Velocity Conference in Santa Clara, John Furrier, theCUBE host, talked to Sascha Bates, DevOps Enthusiast and Automation Junky at Bratty Redhead about the trends in the industry.
The Velocity Conference is not about the browser anymore, it's about UI and UX performance, about deployment, production, DevOps, said Furrier, and Sascha added that "it looks like technical problems but it is really people problems." She thinks that "solving people problems makes tech to simply fall into line." That is pretty obvious from all the talks.
Transitioning DevOps
Furrier steered the conversation towards getting started with configuration management and the new and old in the business. Sascha disagrees that the old stuff is going away completely; she thinks that there's a big bubble in San Francisco and "the Enterprise exists."
To quote, "the Enterprise is not going away any time soon, and neither are the data centers. And neither are the special snowflakes." Despite the world wanting to believe there are special snowflakes anymore, they are still around. "The configuration management does make certain things harder, but it allows you to, when you use it, to get rid of the tedium. You automate out of a lot of chance and unknowns when you write the automation, and it allows you to get the data stuff that you do over and over out of your hands, so that you can concentrate on the real problems," explained Sascha.
So, what Sascha is saying, is that automation gets rid of the tedious, boring tasks that no one wants to work with.
As for the open source impact on the Enterprise, Sascha commented that open source makes it more fun to work for a certain company. Smart people will find it irresistible to go and work with open source code. "Open source, as opposed to proprietary software, has the potential to attract talent," noted Sascha.
