Continuing recapping my favorite sessions of DevOps Enterprise Summit 2015, here is Josh Corman and John Willis talking about Immutable Awesomeness. What is Immutable Awesomeness you ask? Have a listen to my interview with John and Josh and then listen into the actual session where they go over it.
Just a couple of hints: 1. Software supply chains are a great way to look at your development/deployment process 2.In a world where software controls everything, it really is a case of life and death 3. If you can’t get excited about what this all means, listen to the session again.
Of course what makes this interview and session great is the unbridled enthusiasm that both John and Josh bring to the subject. In fact there was a palpable buzz in the theater when they walked off the stage and over to my video studio. The same enthusiasm carried over to our interview too. It was a lot of fun to interview these two.
So have a listen and enjoy. Also if you enjoy John Willis presenting, he will be headlining the DevOps Connect: cdSummit SoCal on December 3rd, joining some other great speakers.
