Talk summary: SRE principles by Tori Wieldt @ AWS re:Invent 2018
I caught a talk by Tori Wieldt at the New Relic booth at AWS re:Invent on “SRE principles”. Even though it was a short talk in the expo hall, rather than a formal scheduled one, it had a ton of good SRE material.

Notes from TechKnowCon 2018
I attended TechKnowCon (https://techknowcon.splashthat.com/) this week. I enjoyed the conference a lot. It centered around the theme of continuous learning, and how to instill a learning culture in your work environment. There were 2 talks in particular that I got a lot from, “Teach Like an Engineer” and “Peer learning at scale”…

Docker talk at SVCC’15
Some short notes from a talk from Ted Young on the Docker ecosystem. Slides available here.
BusyBox – a number of use linux tools packaged up in to a single file. “The Swiss Army knife of Embedded Linux”
CoreOS and Red Hat’s Atomic are particularly suited for running containers, work well with (and I think even come preinstalled with) Docker.
VM vs Container. VMs ofter have multiple apps running in them (e.g. a tomcat with multiple apps running it int). With containers it is typically 1 app per container. Containers typically run within a VM (although can run on “raw metal” too). Multiple containers per VM? – I’m not so clear on!
Cgroups may be used to limit and control resource usage.
12 Factor apps – Good practices for building “cloud native” or software-as-a-service apps.

Some short notes from a talk on “Everything you wanted to know about Git…” by Lenny Markus. Slides available here.
Tips:
Use autocomplete
Use the latest git tool, not the apple default
As part of the demo, he used watch to monitor a directory by running a command every few secs.
Covered git init, staging, reset and rebasing.
