Chaos Community Broadcast

Notes:

In this episode we are joined with Cat Swetel, who is a fully vaccinated technology leader. Cat talks with us about devops, feminism, and how epistemic injustice correlates to Continuous Verification.

Notes:

In this episode we are joined with Jason Cahoon, Site Reliability Engineer at Google. Jason talks with us about all things Google and the DiRT framework (aka Chaos Engineering), from the massive amount of coding happening at Google to experiments reinforcing the value of DiRT itself (plus get the dirt on the DiRT curse!).

Notes:

In this episode we are joined with Amy Tobey, Principal SRE at Equinix. Amy discusses with us everything from what an SRE is to whether Chaos Engineering is an advanced practice to the rise of computers.

Notes:

In this episode we are joined with Corey Quinn, Chief Cloud Economist at The Duckbill Group. Corey talks with us about many things including Chaos Engineering as a cost optimization strategy for the cloud and his thoughts on AWS Chaos Engineering platforms.

Notes:

In this episode, a few of our speakers from GOTOpia 2021 joined us live for a conversation about Chaos Engineering and the benefits, the oddities, and how to undermine the practice.

Notes:

In this impromptu episode we take a tour through highlights from each of our 12 previous guests. Season 2, here we come!

Notes:

In this episode, we are joined by Christina Yakomin, a vanguard of reliability at Vanguard. Christina dispels the notion that Chaos Engineering is just for startups and can’t be done in high-stakes, regulated environments. This is an episode that hits just the right note—literally.

Notes:

In this episode, we are joined by Andy Fleener, Platform Operations Manager at SportsEngine, and contributing author to Chaos Engineering: System Resiliency in Practice.

We discuss his chapter on humanistic chaos and how we can apply Chaos Engineering to human systems. This leads to other subjects such as Andy’s affinity for humans and how humans approach problems and his preference for salty nut rolls versus peanut brittle.

Notes:

In this episode we are joined with Liz Fong-Jones, developer advocate, labor and ethics organizer, and Site Reliability Engineer. She joins in the conversation to discuss observability versus monitoring and how this is critical for Chaos Engineering. Along the way we discuss unionizing software workers, how internet companies handle traffic, and more.

Notes:

In this episode, we are joined with Mikolaj Pawlikowski, creator of Powerful Seal and author of the Chaos Engineering book at Manning. This conversation runs the gamut from open source software to seatbelts to the much beloved Toyota Yaris. There is some practical advice on Chaos Engineering and how to help Kubernetes be more reliable through Chaos Engineering practices.
