As I wrote last week, in doing my research for this blog I have been looking around for a good list of DevOps people to follow. I have found a small list here and there, but unlike in the infosec community where we had the @securitytwits, there is no analogue to that in DevOps. So with a tip of the hat to Bill Brenner of Akamai (and formerly of cso.com) I have stareted a new tradition here on devopsy.kinsta.cloud. Our own Follow Friday: DevOps Peeps to follow on Twitter. New for this week:
@hullsean @champagnie @planetdevops @krishnan @tarunbhatti @wickett @nathenharvey @andimann @byron_miller
From last week: @patrickdebois: @realgenekim: @botchagalupe: @jezhumble; @garethr; @kartar; @krisbuytaert; @jordansissel; @agentdero;@allspaw; @monkchips: @devops_borat; @lnxchk: @damonedwards; @lusis; @obfuscurity; @shanley: @adrianco; @scriptrock;@jumpcloud; @sd_architect; @govictorops @softlayer @docker; @chef
You can find all of these people on a Twitter list I have started at: https://twitter.com/devopsdotcom/lists/devops-twitters-to-folow
Also as a bonus this week a list of some of the great DevOps podcasts to listen to:
Do you have any twitter names to add to the list or DevOps podcasts to list? Mail me at [email protected] or leave it in the comments. Have a great weekend!
