#devopsdaysbos 'testing the "untestable"' sounds interesting

#devopsdaysbos next breakout session starting shortly

#devopsdaysbos yay, I won an iPad thanks to @xebialabs

#indieweb looks like it worked, only kinda broke another part, but ... iterate

#indieweb trying to syndicate with shortlinks instead of full permalinks

hmm, this is supposed to be sending shortlink to brid-gy not the full link...

try this again... what the what?

try this again... what the what?

ack, broke my client

#devopsdaysbos mostly talking about ElasticSearch in this group, not much about the L and K there

REALLY digging my new liveblogging page for this, mwuhahaha

#devopsdaysbos ironically, recording stats on a stat collection system and logging to something else... its turtles all the way down

#devopsdaysbos important to keep track of metrics from elasticsearch. decide your best shard size, etc

#devopsdaysbos Its somewhat difficult to find too much common ground in some spots since everyone's data will be different

#devopsdaysbos there are bits that are missing in the out of the box documentation. James hit a problem with datestamps missing by default

#devopsdaysbos in an ELK discussion group

#devopsdaysbos all your comments and likes on my posts get syndicated back to my site #indieweb

#devopsdaysbos poll is up for next session

#devopsdaysbos problem: how do you make sure documentation is up to date.

#devopsdaysbos question: how do we store documentation? wiki? file storage somewhere? website?

#devopsdaysbos ideas: for tutorials, automating tutorials to make sure your tutorials are always up to date

#devopsdaysbos ideas: writing simple tests with your functions becomes documentation for your functions

#devopsdaysbos in the group discussing documentation

#devopsdaysbos Thank you @sstatik for a great talk!

#devopsdaysbos coming back after lunch we have @sstatik talking about overcoming regulatory burdens at startups

#devopsdaysbos Next talk on Network Security and their issues. "Roll this one line change back because you have to follow process"

#devopsdaysbos "being a network engineer is hard [...] because the tools I use are in the stone age"

#devopsdaysbos moving on to next talk by @PeteCCDE about Managing Network Configs with Git

#devopsdaysbos thanks @vkokkili for your presentation

#devopsdaysbos after a few tweaks to my live blogging client, i'm back.

#indieweb testing out adding a live blogging option to my mp endpoint

#indieweb testing out adding a live blogging option to my mp endpoint

#devopsdaysbos next presentation DevOps - Operations Challenges by @vkokkili

#devopsdaysbos thanks for the presentation Katie

#devopsdaysbos Make sure everyone has that "north star" where they know what the true mission is.

#devopsdaysbos do your job until ... the job is done, or the job changes.

#devopsdaysbos talking about Football's overlaps with devops. Specialization, Mission Focus, Temwork, etc.

#devopsdaysbos first speaker, Katie Rose on GridIronOps

#devopsdaysbos a lot of the extra money will be donated to local charities. devopsdaysbos++

#devopsdaysbos today is focused more on things you don't often talk about too much

#devopsdaysbos getting started on day 2

#devopsdaysbos thank you @sigje great talk

#devopsdaysbos The most important tool at your company is sticky notes, it lets you think outside the box

#devopsdaysbos "Tools also frame our choices"

#devopsdays using SVN is fine, but it does effect behavior.

#devopsdaysbos woops, tweets were set to #devopsdaybos by accident

#devopsdaybos tools and culture are tied together, they have to work together to go anywhere

#devopsdaybos "Devops is culture not tool!" but "Devops is automation!" ... wait.

#devopsdaybos psyche! "Tools for Effective Change"

#devopsdaybos Topic of Effective Tools

#devopsdaybos restarting after lunch with Jeffifer Davis @sigje

#devopsdaybos Jenkins task scanner plugin ... need to look this up

#devopsdaybos minimal friction is hard, easy reporting is really really important

#devopsdaybos Anthony Spring, quantifying technical debt

#devopsdaybos @ForestJay great presentation link to your linkedin?

#devopsdaybos even if you are not interested in that job, keep open and be nice and friendly to those head hunters.

#devopsdaybos LinkedIn goes by N-degree contacts. open networking makes sure you get in more people's Nth level contacts

#devopsdaybos #indieweb "Open Networker" what I used to call "Friend Collector"

#devopsdaybos PASSIVE job search is much better, headhunters come to you. Jobs aren't always posted publicly

#devopsdaybos takes about 6 months for active job search

#devopsdaybos lighting talk #3 "Networking and Headhunters and LinkedIn! Oh My!"

#devopsdaybos using 99designs for design. get it in cotton, we are coders, not workout people

#devopsdaybos rule 2, dark colors, rule 3 remember women's fit

#devopsdaybos guidelines for better tech t-shirts. rule 1 nothing on the back

#devopsdaybos community@sonatype.com if you are interested in more info

#devopsdaybos flying by reference architectures.... there are a consistent set of tools between them all

#devopsdaybos the software supply chain, fewer suppliers, better products from suppliers, minotor

#devopsdaybos 44,000 people viewed reference architecture, learn and compare

#devopsdaybos Mark Miller, first lighting speaker

#indieweb i really should make hashtags auto set that category

I'm getting distracted watching someone try to work out where to fit all their new free stickers on their laptop... #firstworldproblems

#devopsdaysbos appsembler startup giving us their warstory

#devopsdaysbos case study of deploying containers at scale.

#devopsdaysbos thank you @danriti

#devopsdaysbos plenty of circuit breaker libraries out there.

#devopsdaysbos reset timeout to basically do exploratory requests.

#devopsdaysbos after N timeouts, stop trying to connect to service. returns an error MUCH faster. (break binding from timeout value)

#devopsdaysbos circuit breakers prevent retries. so no load on a broken service.

#devopsdaysbos combine timeouts to the circuit breaker pattern

#devopsdaysbos timeouts to prevent continual loading, but certainly not perfect

#devopsdaysbos "Hope is not a design method!"

#devopsdaysbos examples available at github.com/danriti/shourt-circuit

#devopsdaysbos case study of how you should degrade when various services fail.

#devopsdaysbos remote calls != local calls by Dan Riti

#devopsdaysbos next talk starting on PaaS

#devopsdaysbos Thank you Mallika Iyer

#devopsdaysbos questions for speaker https://pollev.com/g2techgroup

#devopsdaysbos silo search is important to search across services

#devopsdaysbos histrix (part of spring cloud services) listens on config changes and alerts changes, and stops error from spreading

#devopsdaysbos 3rd musketeer is having fault tolerance

#devopsdaysbos avoid microservices talking too much, service discovery and registry (eureka for ex) the 2nd musketeer

#devopsdaysbos microservices all need APIs, the first musketeer

#indieweb @kevinmarks, know of a micropub client geared at livetweeting / liveblogging?

#devopsdaysbos "don't do more than one microserver per container"

#devopsdaysbos problem with grouping microservices, scaling, change deployment is slow, monolithic creep

#devopsdaysbos wrong link given out: https://pollev.com/g2techgroup

Basic introduction to sine of the key concepts of devop #devopsdaysbos

running a little behind, still getting myself set up. introductions and such #devopsdaysbos

Just sitting down and getting settled in at #devopsdaysboston

Off to DevOpsDays Boston. Now to figure out how to turn the discussion to social web dev. Heh

Almost missed it. Happy birthday @kevinmarks!
