#4 DevOps Diary: On Serverless, Events, And more Notes
Hello everyone,
one week after the other passes by so quickly — so here I am again with another DevOps Diary. Today I am posting one day early since there are so many cool events starting today!
Quick reminder, if you are interested in collaborating on a DevOps Learning Group, I would love to hear from you!
Videos 🎥
- Hear from fatherlinux i.e. Scott McCarty on Linux Containers in this 7 part series
- Marcia Villalba is hosting live AWS office hours around CEST lunchtime — the last one covered serverless with Gunnar Grosch, so check it out if you have some time.
Blog Posts 🗞️
- Learn how to navigate the complexity of Kubernetes with Helm
- Three different ways to manage your Helm Chart and which one might be the best for you
- If you are learning/wanting to learn about Serverless, Serverless Land has lots of great blog posts and video content

Reminder that I am keeping all of my notes in a public Notion page 👀

Pro-Tip 💡
It is ok to skip through content. If you are halfway through a video, or book and you realise there might be resources better suited for what you are looking for and your level of expertise, it is ok to not finish the resource.
A lot of times, we feel in some way obliged to keep giving our attention. Your time and attention is probably your scarcest resource — spend it wisely.
The beauty of free and open-source content is that skipping content not involved with much opportunity cost.
