When negative feedback shakes your confidence, it can be difficult to get back to feeling like yourself at work. In this episode, Anne and Frances help a struggling listener who has spent years toning herself down in the workplace after being told that she was too assertive — now, she feels that her modest approach is holding her back. Together, they use Anne and Frances’s “trust triangle” framework to explore how empathy, authenticity, and logic can help you rebuild confidence and trust with your colleagues, and share helpful confidence hacks for getting comfy with discomfort.

We're all familiar with Puppet's main forte; that of managing configuration for computers, servers, cloud instances, etc. But as with any tool, community members often… color outside the lines.

Carrying on with our community spotlight series, this episode highlights one of those unusual usages. Corey Osman started this project by using Puppet to manage tiny IoT devices but ended up building a whole management framework out of Puppet and Bolt technologies. Let's get started and hear his story.

Today's musical intro was recorded by Manny, a software engineer on our hosted services team.

Open Source: “More than a License” but Not Quite a Business Model with Dotan Horovits 35:12

לפני 48 weeks35:12

35:12

After several decades of use, should we consider open source software (OSS) a business model? In short: No! In this conversation, open source evangelist Javier Perez welcomes technology evangelist and CNCF ambassador Dotan Horovits to provide context for the biggest changes happening in OSS, discuss what a sustainable future looks like for open source, and explain what to do when companies choose to go not-so-open with their source code. Highlights: Why open source shouldn’t be considered a business model The “disturbing trend” in OSS and why “nothing is written in stone” when it comes to open source How tools can differentiate themselves from the ‘open source-ness' of their projects Speakers: Javier Perez , Open Source Evangelist Dotan Horovits , Cloud Native Ambassador at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and host of the OpenObservability Talks podcast Links: Get the new State of Open Source Report from OpenLogic Find Dotan on LinkedIn and Twitter Read Dotan’s articles on ‘vendor-owned open source’ and ‘When Your Open Source Turns to the Dark Side’ Read Javier’s articles on the State of Open Source in 2024 and concerns over the future of open source Listen to OpenObservability Talks on YouTube and wherever you get podcasts Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

When Will IT Security Escape the Cat-and-Mouse Game? with Sean Atkinson, CISO of CIS 34:01

לפני 1 year34:01

34:01

When Sean Atkinson says that “We’re on a trajectory to have the most vulnerabilities ever identified in a single year, starting this year,” take note: As Chief Information Security Officer for the Center for Internet Security, he knows what he’s talking about. He’s referring to the ever-increasing tide of weaknesses and flaws that undermine the security of software used every single day by teams around the world. Between a more active threat landscape, demands for development velocity, and the rise of generative AI, the cat in this proverbial game of cat-and-mouse has their work cut out for them. In this conversation, Robin Tatam, Puppet’s Evangelist and Certified Information Security Manager, talks with Sean about the role of a CISO, what’s behind the unprecedented rise in vulnerabilities, and how smart integrations turn automation into a first-line defense against threats, misconfiguration, errors, and software vulnerabilities. Highlights: What a CISO actually does versus a CIO or a CTO The difference between “security” and “compliance” How compliance helps build the backbone of a long-term security posture Who really owns IT security and where IT operations fits into the security conversation What CIS Benchmarks are, what they do, and how CIS “wizards” keep them up-to-date on the latest vulnerabilities How Puppet’s partnership with CIS puts the power of automation behind CIS’s widely recognized frameworks Speakers: Robin Tatam , Senior Technical Marketer and Evangelist, Puppet by Perforce Sean Atkinson, Chief Information Security Officer, Center for Internet Security Links: Learn more about Security Compliance Enforcement , a premium feature for Open Source Puppet and Puppet Enterprise that automates secure configurations hardened against CIS Benchmarks and DISA STIGs Listen to Sean’s podcast with CIS, “Cybersecurity Where You Are,” wherever you get podcasts Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

It’s all good news, we promise! The Forge has always been the go-to spot for Puppet users to find, download, and update content and modules. On this episode, we're revealing a few of the exciting changes that are going to make the Forge even easier and more valuable for all Puppet users, like personalization, filters, and features to track module versions and updates against your Puppet file. As of today, there are 7,508 modules on the Puppet Forge – some active, some deprecated, some created and supported by Puppet Labs, some by community groups like Vox Pupuli. While it’s become a hub for all Puppet users, we've heard feedback on ways it could be even better. We see a brighter future for the Forge – one built for and shaped by users like you! Join Ben Ford as he talks to Forge Product Manager Saurabh Karwa about what the Forge is today, the subtle changes that are already in the works, the near-term roadmap, and the long-term vision for the Forge.

Your Return-to-Office Plans Will Shape Your Platform. Here’s How. 28:02

לפני 2 years28:02

28:02

Platform engineering is all about giving devs the tools they need to work independently. Work-from-home policies give people flexibility in where and how they work. It should be a match made in heaven, right? Well... it’s more complicated than that. Research, feedback, and evangelizing are critical to building an internal developer platform (IDP). But WFH can make that communication tough. And that's before you’ve even considered compliance and security (ugh, the 2FA). A human-focused IT strategy was crucial in supporting a shift to remote work during the pandemic, and it's going to be equally as important as we shift to a platform paradigm. In this roundtable discussion, Ben leads a roundtable discussion of how return-to-office plans can impact platform engineering, joined by Margaret Lee and David Sandilands, authors of Puppet's 2024 State of DevOps Report: Platform Engineering Edition . Speakers: Ben Ford, Community Lead at Puppet by Perforce Margaret Lee, Manager of Product Management at Puppet by Perforce David Sandilands, Senior Solutions Architect at Puppet by Perforce Highlights: The remote/in-office flexibility your platform needs to consider Hardening measures essential to a secure IDP in the hybrid era What we learned about accommodating a workforce during the pandemic Evangelizing a platform without the in-person connection Links: Email Margaret at Margaret.Lee@perforce.com Find Ben on Mastodon , Twitter , and in the Puppet Community Slack as binford2k David Sandilands on Twitter Get the 2023 Platform Engineering Report and sign up to receive 2024’s when it releases Read the episode transcript Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

The Politics of Your Job: Building Trust + Subverting DevOps Hierarchies (Respectfully) with Joshua Zimmerman 33:04

לפני 2 years33:04

33:04

Politics is everywhere in your organization. No, not THAT kind of politics – the kind that happens when you need something and can’t get it, or when you get good at something and people start noticing. Actually, politics happens just about whenever decisions get made. Joshua Zimmerman says that kind of politics is rooted in people, and with the right mindset, you can use politics to make things better in your organization – for you and your entire team. Joshua is a DevOps manager and organizer who thinks you could benefit from understanding and navigating the political landscape of your organization so you can help shape it. In fact, his presentation at DevOpsDays Chicago 2023 was all about that, and we were so impressed, we invited him on the podcast. After listening to this episode, we hope you’ll be able to figure out how decisions get made where you work, define your political structure, and leave with a few tools you can use to gain leverage with your team to make better decisions together. Highlights: Helping unpack the term “politics” in the context of your job Why org charts aren’t great for determining the real structure of your org Why trust matters more than authority (and how to sniff out both in your org) How to build lasting trust in your team and org How to subvert hierarchy to get what you need (without making anyone mad) Speakers: Ben Ford , Developer Relations Director at Puppet Joshua Zimmerman , SRE/DevOps Manager Links: Find Josh on LinkedIn, Mastodon, and Twitter Watch Joshua’s talk at DevOpsDays Chicago 2023 (2:26:00 – 2:54:30) Find Ben in the Puppet Community Slack as binford2k and on Mastodon Find Us Online: puppet.com Pulling the Strings on Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn Read the episode transcript…

Great things – tools, spaces, companies, brands – are supported by great communities. The Vox Pupuli are perhaps the most prominent, active group in the Puppet community. Here’s what they're up to lately, what it’s like being one of them, and what Puppet (the community) means to Puppet (the company). The Vox Pupuli are 200+ strong; they maintain dozens of modules on the Forge; even executive leadership knows their name. On this episode of Pulling the Strings, join Puppet community members Gene Liverman, Tim Meusel, and Ben Ford for a casual discussion on what what Vox Pupuli actually do, the role of community in shaping a company like Puppet, what Vox Pupuli is focused on now, and what drives the highly engaged group. As Tim puts it, “There is no excuse to not participate.” Highlights: How Vox Pupuli works The relationship of Puppet (the company) to the Vox Pupuli The power of independence The time Vox Pupuli helped Puppet avoid disaster in a new release What Vox Pupuli is working on now Speakers: Gene Liverman, SRE at LTN Global and former SRE at Puppet by Perforce Tim Meusel , Vox Pupuli PMC Community Member Ben Ford , Community Lead at Puppet by Perforce Links: Find out more about the Vox Pupuli at https://voxpupuli.org/ Find Tim on Twitter at https://twitter.com/BastelsBlog Find Gene in the Puppet Community Slack as genebean https://puppetcommunity.slack.com/team/U3DCRQQKA Find Ben in the Puppet Community Slack as binford2k and on Mastodon at https://hachyderm.io/@binford2k Follow the Puppet Community Team on Mastodon https://fosstodon.org/@puppet Listen to Tim’s previous episode discussing how to build an awesome open source community https://www.puppet.com/resources/podcasts/awesome-open-source-community Find Us Online: puppet.com Pulling the Strings on Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn Read the episode transcript…

The Platform Engineering Pitfall You Aren’t Looking For (Yet) 36:20

לפני 2 years36:20

36:20

In the past few years, developer experience has become one of the biggest concerns at the C-level. Gartner found it’s the top value factor for adopting IDPs, performance engineering, CI/CD, and more core aspects of platform engineering. In 2021, McKinsey said it should be “the cornerstone of talent strategy” – and still, it’s a sticking point for a lot of software orgs. Turnover, burnout, skill gaps – symptoms abound that can often be contributed to bad DevX. Justin Reock is Field CTO at Gradle, makers of Gradle Enterprise and Gradle Build Tool. He’s focused on the developer experience at an intersectional level – where right-brain creativity, left-brain productivity, and ‘joyful activity’ combine to make development better for the people who do it. In conversation with David Sandilands, Senior Solutions Architect at Puppet, Justin shares his perspective on where platform engineering is headed and how the future of platform engineering – up, down, or flat – depends on using tools to engineer the developer experience. Speakers: David Sandilands , Senior Solutions Architect at Puppet by Perforce Justin Roeck, Field CTO at Gradle Highlights: Justin’s career to date and starting a year of living out of an RV Why the future of platform engineering depends on a developer experience focus Instructions for organizations to adopt real practices, not just hype The personalities needed to make stuff like platform engineering actually work Links: Download Puppet’s 2023 State of Platform Engineering Report Organizational Physics by Lex Sisney Find your nearest devopsdays event Justin Reock on Twitter Justin Reock on LinkedIn David Sandilands on LinkedIn David Sandilands on Twitter Read the episode transcript Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

It's Always Audit Time: Compliance is Coming for Your Department (Yes, Yours) 29:18

So your organization failed a compliance audit and got slapped with fines and penalties. Bummer! You pay the fine, spend a few days fixing your configurations, run a scan, and get ready to do it again come the next audit. But that approach doesn’t work anymore: The risks are too high, and fixing months of configuration drift at the drop of a hat (let alone hunting down all the paperwork for auditors) certainly isn’t your team’s favorite thing to do. Demo Puppet Comply + CEM for cross-department visibility and automated compliance The broad scope of today’s compliance management requires a coordinated effort from more than just the security team. In this episode of Pulling the Strings, two Puppet compliance experts make the case for cooperation among security, compliance, ops, and just about everyone else in your organization. They discuss the crumbling walls between security, compliance, and ops, as well as tools organizations use to ensure continuous compliance. Highlights: Why organizations always wait until something goes wrong to pay attention to compliance + security The simple micro-adjustments that prevent massive corrections come audit time Working toward better alignment between teams so that they’re making compliance easier The point and benefits of continuous compliance – and why ‘cowboy compliance’ isn’t enough Why compliance frameworks matter across security, compliance, and ops Speakers: Ben Ford, Community Lead at Puppet by Perforce Claire McDyre , Senior Product Manager at Puppet by Perforce Robin Tatam , Senior Director of Product Marketing, Puppet by Perforce Links: Try Puppet Comply + CEM to give your whole team the power to tackle compliance Read Claire’s content on the Puppet blog Read Robin’s content on the Puppet blog Read the episode transcript Find Us Online: puppet.com Apple Podcasts Twitter LinkedIn…

“It doesn't matter how small the contribution is – I think everyone benefits from the different environment, the different culture, of open source communities.” From ‘free software’ to the Mars Rover, the scope of open source is expansive, growing, and offering new challenges to organizations and practitioners alike. Now, Perforce Director of Product Management Javier Perez is excited to share the latest findings from the 2023 State of Open Source Report with the context of his 26+ years in the software industry. Look into the past and peer into the future with this exciting discussion between two open source evangelists. Join Javier and host Ben Ford, Developer Relations Director at Puppet by Perforce, as they discuss the history of open source, examples of open source software dating back to the 1950s, the communities that have formed around open source, where open source software is headed, and highlights from the highly anticipated 2023 State of Open Source Report, which asked ~900 global respondents about their use of open source software. Highlights: AI and machine learning took the number one spot as a technology that most survey respondents were interested in. The number-one reason organizations use open source software is access to innovation — not cost savings. How initiatives intra-organization methodologies like InnerSource are breaking down silos between companies. Why AI and Web3 are trends worth watching in the open source space.

CentOS 8 is EOL, so now what? 31:09

CentOS has become the de facto standard operating system for many organizations since it’s basically the same thing as RHEL, rebranded and without commercial support. CentOS was originally a community project, but over time Red Hat has become more influential in its direction and has shifted it to a "Stream" model, effectively moving CentOS 8 from being a downstream release (built after RHEL) to an upstream release (built before RHEL). This isn't exactly suitable for production use and thus many users are looking for alternatives.

In response, engineers manually perform a disparate set of actions across various cloud providers, container platforms, CI/CD tools, config mgmt tools, and hundreds of other APIs. To make this better, some developers try to create their one-off automation tools or integration hubs, usually per team or project.

Puppet's developer experience has been through a lot of growing pains.

Some of us still do that; old habits die hard. But the point is that the barrier to entry used to be really high, and it didn't have to be.

In this podcast, Eric Sorenson and Melissa Sussmann will be exploring the challenges that DevOps engineers face in using cloud-native infrastructure and how Puppet can help with your deployments. Continuous deployment is essential to the growing cloud-native space, especially in the case of containerization. Everyone we’ve interviewed is looking to adopt cloud-native technologies, but they face significant challenges in adopting containers, microservices, and serverless infrastructure for even simple cloud-native applications. Project Nebula provides automation that helps customers easily work on provisioning, rollbacks, application deployment, and notifications all through one tool. Nebula also provides teams with a platform for sharing workflows and best practices to build consistent and coherent deployments. It's our latest offering for teams that are adopting various cloud-native and serverless technologies and need to unify this heterogeneous toolset into a single, end-to-end deployment workflow. Sign up for Project Nebula here: https://puppet.com/project-nebula We are offering a free bluetooth wireless speaker and welcome kit to the first 100 active users who provide product feedback for Project Nebula. To be an active user, customers must actively use the app for a couple of weeks and create and run custom workflows. To give product feedback, customers must schedule 1:1 time with the Nebula product team.

Last month, we spent two and a half days in Budapest with some of our best community friends. I think the summary of Contributor Summit was the one common complaint I heard: "There was too much good content and it was really hard to decide between workshops!" said everybody. That's a really good problem to have and is the hallmark of a great experience. The key was in how the event was organized. Rather than tightly control the messaging, we simply asked our facilitators to build workshops that spoke to them and to just bring their best selves to the table ready to collaborate. This was part of our new focus on the community contributor experience. The whole Summit practically crackled with electricity and what felt like every attendee came up to tell me how productive it was for them. What are we covering? In this podcast, we talk about what made Contributor Summit special and some of the lessons we learned. We spoke with Tim Meusel, better known as bastelfreak , about the critical role that Vox Pupuli plays in our ecosystem. We even talked about marathon training, dispelled some misconceptions that Ben had about his mom's cooking, and established a clear winner in the German vs. Hungarian goulash rivalry. What else?

Bolt: Uniting Models and Tasks 33:54

לפני 6 years33:54

One of Puppet’s big strengths is declarative automation – you model the desired end state of your infrastructure and Puppet does the hard work of enforcing it. This concept is quite powerful and has become the industry standard for configuration management. But sometimes your workflow doesn't quite fit into that pattern. Sometimes you really do need to deploy point-in-time changes, or mix imperative and declarative approaches together in a single workflow. With Bolt, we've learned from the lessons of Puppet and used those to design the next generation of infrastructure automation. Listen as Eric Sorenson and Yasmin Rajabi explain the tools of the future. The music in this episode is part of a live performance Eric Sorenson, Puppet Director of Product, prepared for Volt Divers.

We're kicking off 2019 with a bang and a series of spotlights on notable community members and their achievements. We've got some great shows lined up for you, from useful development tools, to community experiences, to lessons we could learn from the history of computing. Let's get started today with Corey Osman of Portland, Oregon who's built a command line REPL . This quick screencast shows some of the capabilities of the tool: ![Puppet debugger REPL in action.](/sites/default/files/2018-12/animated-debugger-demo-smaller.gif) A REPL, or command-line shell, allows you to interactively work within Puppet and see what effect each line of code you write will have. Rather than trying to understand an entire system at once, you can drop into the shell and try out a language construct or see how a variable will be interpolated. For even greater understanding, you can add breakpoints to your Puppet code so you can stop compilation at a known spot and inspect your variables or see what classes have been declared. Today's musical intro was recorded by Michelle on our SRE team and her band, Great Niece .
