Willson's List:<br><br>- Cloud Computing with OpenStack<br>- Configuration Management with Ansible<br>- Containers with Docker<br>- CI/CD Pipelines (or DTAP Streets) with GitLab CI<br>- Container orchestration with Kubernetes<br>- Monitoring with Sensu or Prometheus<br><br>A highly-observant person will notice that these are the same knowledge domains, just highlighted differently. My fond hope is to get into at least a few debates about what is and is not DevOps, and hopefully at least one of them will descend into shouting "Developer Freedom!" and "Site Reliability!" at one another in a fashion reminiscent of the old "tastes great" vs "less filling" beer commercials. If we can't get that high, maybe we can at least get to "bleh bleh bleh" vs "dilly dilly".<br><br>Of course, like with Linux Camp and all our classes, the class materials will be CC BY SA. You pay for bunk, food, and performance art (teaching).
