The Top 5 DevOps Dashboards Every Engineer Should Consider

There is lots of talk about what DevOps is and means, even a Wikipedia page, to which I may soon give some much needed love. However, a friend recently asked if I knew anyone worth hiring for a "devops" role, and I found myself asking clarifying questions about the sort of person he had in mind. Seemed worth writing down. The friend was looking for engineers. So what does it mean for an engineer to be devops-y?

Community Interactions in DevOps

A path to DevOps When Lara Hogan asked Bridget Kroumhout (on stage, at Velocity), "So, how did you get tricked into operations?" it was funny, but it got Kroumhout thinking. It's a question she's been asked before, and has sometimes been at a loss for an answer since she didn't follow a plan originally. Kroumhout now offers a plan-a wonderfully thoughtful and pragmatic set of resources beginning with culture (e.g., if you work in tech for even a little while, you'll notice that you have a lot of social and economic privilege, no matter your demographic identity, because you have more choices in your work and life than do many of your fellow humans), tools, education, community, and how to launch your career. Even if you're already well established, this is worth a read if only to rekindle your fire.

The Shutl engineering team has been operating with a DevOps mentality for over two years. We started by rebuilding our infrastructure under Chef and embedding our operations engineers into our agile product development process. We made great progress and saw a big improvement in delivery and quality as all team members were responsible for getting things live and ensuring their long-term maintainability. But… we still had a silo. Only a few of our team were doing the lion's share of the work when it came to maintaining our infrastructure, and on-call duties were shared by just a small number of people. Over the past six months, we've changed that. So, rather than extol the virtues of this approach - there are plenty of articles doing that! - we thought we'd share some of the steps we took to make every engineer a DevOps engineer.
