In this episode, we explore a checklist Sysdig wrote on the first 30/60/90 days of a DevOps Engineer with Pawan Shankar (a beast!) . this is content that regardless of my employment with Sysdig i would absolutely devour and i hope you all will enjoy the time we spend on it, as its vital for Engineers, Tech Leadership, etc. Justin Garrison is a senior developer advocate at Amazon, he is formerly of Disney animation/streaming services and Disney+. he wrote a book with Kris Nova on Cloud Native infrastructure which shows the process, people, chaos factors in bringing together cloud native applications if a very digestible way. He gives his opinion on the first 30/60/90 days of a devops engineer, and valuable advice for automation. Justin provides some very amazing stories from his time at Disney and beyond to his brand new role at AWS as a Developer Advocate. Lastly, we talk about video games, debate MK vs Street Fighter, Home theater, and Justin gives perhaps the best GPU/CPU analogy i have ever heard. Justin is a great guy and i was so impressed by him.
