Ernest Mueller, the Agile Admin has been part of the DevOps scene almost since the very beginning. He was one of the founders and still a leader of the Austin DevOps scene. Ernest after many years of speaking at DevOps Days Austin had announced that he was “semi-retired” from speaking at DevOps Days Austin and would no longer appear there. devopsy.kinsta.cloud in an exclusive, is now reporting that Ernest Mueller, the Agile Admin is back!
Via unnamed confirmed sources we have verified that Mueller will be reprising his “State of DevOps” presentation at this year DevOps Days Austin on May 2nd and 3rd. If this is indeed true, what a great turn of events for the DevOps community.
Our unnamed confirmed sources also tell us that the his fellow organizer crew for DevOps Days Austin crew is ecstatic that Ernest has reconsidered. Just on the rumors alone ticket sales for the event have immediately picked up.
Will this be Mueller’s swan song? Will this years presentation rekindle his burning desire to present at DevOps Days Austin? Only time will tell. We hope to confirm details with Mueller shortly and will have a follow up story shortly. For now though the news is that Ernest M is back!
