In this episode we return after a couple of years in hiatus to talk about what we’ve been up to since we last recorded, including: LLMs; the differences between platform, DevOps, and sysadmin; and red tape. Show Notes: https://www.adminadminpodcast.co.uk/ep102sn/  

What if the biggest cyber risk inside your company wasn't malware — but identity? In this episode, I sit down with Santhosh Jayaprakash, founder & CEO of UnoSecur, to unpack one of the fastest-moving transformations in cybersecurity: the rise of identity as the new perimeter. Attackers don't break in anymore — they log in. And with AI agents, LLM workflows, and machine-to-machine communication exploding, identity risk is growing faster than security teams can react. UnoSecur is building an identity security platform that monitors identity behavior after login, detecting stolen credentials, risky machine identities, and AI agent misuse in real time. Think of it as the layer that finally answers the question: Who is actually doing what inside your systems — and should they be doing it? Our sponsor:

DevOps practitioners — whether developers, operators, SREs or business stakeholders — increasingly rely on telemetry to guide decisions, yet face growing complexity, siloed teams and rising observability costs. In a conversation at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, IBM's Jacob Yackenovich emphasized the importance of collecting high-granularity, full-capture data to avoid missing critical performance signals across hybrid application stacks that blend legacy and cloud-native components. He argued that observability must evolve to serve both technical and nontechnical users, enabling teams to focus on issues based on real business impact rather than subjective judgment.AI's rapid integration into applications introduces new observability challenges. Yackenovich described two patterns: add-on AI services, such as chatbots, whose failures don't disrupt core workflows, and blocking-style AI components embedded in essential processes like fraud detection, where errors directly affect application function.Rising cloud and ingestion costs further complicate telemetry strategies. Yackenovich cautioned against limiting visibility for budget reasons, advocating instead for predictable, fixed-price observability models that let organizations innovate without financial uncertainty.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest in observability: Introduction to ObservabilityObservability 2.0?

Neste Kubicast, recebemos o Chico (Francisco Rodrigues) e o França, da Qive, para um papo técnico e divertido sobre como instrumentamos uma aplicação legada em PHP com OpenTelemetry e destravamos visibilidade de ponta a ponta. Contamos como foi a descoberta, o desenho da arquitetura e as primeiras vitórias: da auto‑instrumentação às correções cirúrgicas que derrubaram a latência no p95 e eliminaram instabilidades intermitentes.Falamos de decisões práticas: por que escolher OpenTelemetry em um monólito Zend antigo, como alinhar a coleta com o ecossistema Grafana (Tempo, Loki, dashboards, alertas) e qual o impacto real em consumo de CPU/memória versus os ganhos na operação. Também abrimos o jogo sobre trade‑offs de transporte (gRPC/Protobuf), overhead na request e como padronizamos spans para tornar o tracing “quase APM”, mas com stack aberta.De quebra, exploramos experiência do time (SRE e Eng. de Software) para acelerar adoção, self‑service e developer experience. Se você quer entender auto‑instrumentação em PHP, custos/benefícios, stack de observabilidade com Grafana e boas práticas de tracing distribuído, este episódio é para você.Links Importantes: - Marcelo França - https://www.linkedin.com/in/marceloluizfranca - Francisco Rodrigues - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fcoedno - Artigo inspirador - https://medium.com/engenharia-arquivei/instrumente-sua-aplica%C3%A7%C3%A3o-php-com-opentelemetry-cb3460a64d04 - Conheça a Qive - https://qive.com.br/institucional/ - Opentelemetry PHP - https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/php/ - João Brito - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juniorjbn/O Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes.

Over the last few years, I've worked a lot with various customers on finding better ways to build database software, often using the principles of DevOps to drive the change. A lot of managers and leads want to see a smoother process to help their teams become more efficient. DBAs often want less overhead and friction in the process, while developers just want to deliver code. In many cases, however, what lots of management wants is speed, and they're looking for ways to increase their current speed and deliver more software. Their current rate of development might be quick enough if you can reduce your bottlenecks. Making communication easier, limiting the slowdowns from handoffs, and reducing the risk of mistakes are everyone's goals. However. Read the rest of Being Mindful of Design Time

André Arko, CEO of Spinel Cooperative and longtime Bundler maintainer, joins Corey Quinn to introduce RV, a new Ruby tool that installs Ruby in one second instead of 10-40 minutes by using precompiled binaries. Inspired by Python's UV, RV aims to simplify Ruby dependency management without the complexity of older tools like RVM and rbenv. They talk about why Ruby isn't actually dead, Apple's problem with shipping a five-year-old end-of-life Ruby in macOS, and the challenges of writing dependency managers in the language they manage. André also shares how he transitioned from a struggling nonprofit model to a cooperative that charges companies for expertise, proving that open source maintainers can build sustainable businesses without relying on donations.Show Highlights:(03:50) Introducing RV(05:12) The RVM vs rbenv Wars and Why They All Break Bundler(09:00) Why Your Mac Still Shows Ruby 3.0.0 in Your Prompt(11:00) The Chef vs Puppet Philosophy Divide(16:30) Installing Ruby in One Second vs 40 Minutes(18:13) Apple's Ancient System Ruby Problem(22:20) RV's Incremental Approach (24:23) Is Ruby Dead? (28:44) Why RV Is Written in Rust, Not Ruby(31:10) The Bundler Problem(32:15) The Financial Reality(38:00) Spinel's Plans to Make Money(39:23) How to Stay In Contact with AndréLinks:André Arko: https://arko.netBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/indirect.ioSpinel Cooperative: https://spinel.coopSponsor: Duckbill: https://www.duckbillhq.com/

A gente sentou com um trio do Mercado Livre para abrir a caixa-preta do Fury, a plataforma que sustenta milhares de serviços e times. Falamos sobre como transformar Kubernetes em um produto de plataforma consumível, com autonomia para os times e guardrails que não viram algemas. Sim, é sobre Platform Engineering de verdade, com aprendizados que doem no bolso e no pager.Entramos em detalhes de experiência do desenvolvedor (DX), SDKs, templates e Golden Path no Backstage, além das escolhas que tornaram o Fury utilizável por centenas de times sem precisar “fazer kubectl em produção”. Também discutimos arquitetura multi-cloud, clusters por criticidade, autoscaling (Karpenter/KEDA) e como democratizar observabilidade sem expor todo mundo ao PromQL às 3 da manhã.Para fechar com chave de ouro, falamos de governança e segurança no dia a dia (DevSecOps na prática), SLIs/SLOs e o dilema entre padronização e liberdade. Tem história de guerra, roadmap, trade-offs e até as dicas de carreira dos convidados. Todos os links citados (Backstage, ArgoCD/GitOps, Karpenter, KEDA e materiais sobre Platform Engineering) estão na seção de DESTAQUES abaixo para você explorar.Links:Saiba mais sobre o Fury - https://medium.com/mercadolibre-tech/subpage/79a519305008Julia Pedroza - https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianunesp/Juliano Martins - https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianommartins/Marcelo Quadros - https://www.linkedin.com/in/quadros-marcelo/João Brito - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juniorjbn/O Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes.

Your gross margin might not be telling the truth. In episode #327, Ben Murray exposes the seven “dirty secrets” that distort SaaS gross margins — from incorrect COGS coding to missing allocations for shared resources and misclassified expenses. Whether you're a CFO, finance lead, or operator, you'll learn how to clean up your P&L and get accurate unit economics that reflect your true performance and valuation. What You'll Learn The 7 big offenders that make SaaS gross margins misleading. How to correctly code payment processing fees (Stripe, ACH, wire) under DevOps in COGS. The difference between internal-use software and third-party apps embedded in your product. How to classify customer success — adoption-focused vs. account management. Why demo and test environments must be allocated properly between departments. How to ensure fully burdened expenses (wages, taxes, benefits, bonuses) are coded correctly. The impact of co-mingled headcount on margins by revenue stream. Why department leaders belong in the departments they manage. Why It Matters For Founders: Clean accounting drives higher (or preserved) company valuation and investor confidence. For Finance Teams: Accurate COGS and gross profit ensure your SaaS metrics are reliable. For Operators: Clear expense allocation helps identify efficiency opportunities in support, services, and DevOps. For Investors: Properly structured financial systems and accounting practices make due diligence faster and cleaner. Key Takeaways Misclassified expenses can make your gross margin appear stronger or weaker than it really is. Always differentiate between OpEx and COGS — the foundation of credible financial modeling. Track margins by revenue stream (subscription, usage, services) for true business insight. Ensure your P&L reflects fully burdened costs per department — including contractors. Clean financial data = higher trust from investors and buyers. Resources Mentioned SaaS Metrics Foundation Course: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation Quote from Ben “Your P&L doesn't lie — but bad coding does. If your COGS and OpEx aren't clean, your gross margin isn't either.”

In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green interviews David Klebanov, VP of Partner Solutions at Alkira, about the company's two major announcements — the launch of MCP Server and NIA Copilot — both designed to bring AI integration and natural language interaction to network automation and infrastructure management. Alkira, known for pioneering Network Infrastructure as a Service (NIaaS), delivers global connectivity and security entirely through cloud software. The company's latest innovations mark a significant step forward in bridging AI applications and network intelligence. The first announcement, MCP Server (Model Context Protocol Server), standardizes communication between AI applications and infrastructure systems. “MCP acts as a highway between AI and the network,” said Klebanov. “It allows AI models to access telemetry and configuration data in a consistent way, enabling smarter automation, faster response, and more intelligent decision-making.” This new capability complements Alkira's existing automation tools, such as REST APIs and Terraform. MCP provides a third option specifically for AI and agentic environments, allowing developers and DevOps teams to choose the right tool for their workflow — whether they're building in traditional, cloud-native, or AI-powered contexts. The second announcement, NIA (Network Infrastructure Assistant) Copilot, applies the same AI-driven intelligence directly to the network engineer's workflow. Integrated into the Alkira portal, NIA allows administrators to interact with their network using natural human language instead of complex code or command-line interfaces. Engineers can simply ask questions, issue commands, or retrieve data in conversational form — “like talking to ChatGPT, but for your network,” Klebanov explained. Both MCP and NIA are designed to work together: MCP connects AI applications to infrastructure externally, while NIA empowers network teams internally. Together, they deliver real-world value by making complex infrastructure management simpler, faster, and more intelligent. Klebanov emphasized that these tools also open new opportunities for the MSP and channel partner community, noting that Alkira is a 100% channel-focused organization. “AI is front and center for enterprises, and our partners now have a way to deliver real, AI-friendly network solutions — not just theory, but technology that provides immediate value.” Learn more about Alkira's AI-powered network solutions at alkira.com.

This month The Management Brief will explore prominent lean theories that have been guiding organizations in their lean transformations. This week, Josh Howell, LEI President, and Mark Reich, LEI Chief Engineer Strategy, are joined by Dr. Steven Spear, renown lean expert and senior lecturer at MIT.   Steven is co-author of Wiring the Winning Organization: Liberating our Collective Greatness through Slowification, Simplification, and Amplification,1 which examines how some companies over the last 150 years have led markets by solving their most important problems better, faster, and easier than the competition. The trio discuss Steven's work and his 30-plus years of lean learnings.  Steven recalls his start at the Toyota Production System Support Center (TSSC), when Mark was one of his mentors and sensei along with the Hajime Obha. He was thrust into all things lean and trying to grasp the Toyota Production System (TPS), without much clear instruction of principles and tools, instead just guidance to go and see and find things that were broken. “What I realized was going on is that they were teaching me to look for broken things, and the reason why they weren't telling me how is they wanted to first see what was broken in my approach,” says Steven. “So there was this layer of see a problem, solve a problem. That becomes sort of a mantra in my work about how we organize our behavior, how we architect our processes, how we architect our processes so that we can immediately see where we're wrong and use that as an immediate trigger to swarm onto the situation, figure out why it's wrong, and how to make it right.”  Steven grasped that TPS is a system built around the ability to see problems and respond to them quickly. “It's a simple thing to say, but the hard work is to keep pushing and pushing and pushing so you can see problems in greater detail, with greater accuracy, at smaller scale, sooner before they have a chance to become big problems. And everything else I think I've done since that moment ... has been elaboration on those points.”  The trio go on to discuss:  Steven's immersion in Toyota led to the groundbreaking article, “Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System,”2 which puts forward rules for how to design systems that establish standards, capture understanding, enable individuals to see when things go wrong, and then fix the problems they find.   High-Velocity Edge,3 Steven's first book, was built on the insights that the way for companies to compete is on solving increasingly more problems at greater depth and breadth and faster (velocity). He eventually wrote Wiring the Winning Organization, which states more explicitly that “winner's win because they're just much better at seeing and solving problems than anybody else.”  Steven describes three layers behind the slowification, simplification, and amplification framework: 1) compete on ability to see and solve problems, 2) understand the instrumentation and ingenuity through which individuals work, and 3) architect the social circuitry in all processes, procedures, and routines by which the work of individuals is integrated into collective action toward common purpose.  A problem-solving danger zone for companies is when iteration and experimentation are inhibited. To get into a winning zone requires slowification (committed time and space to solve problems), simplification (simplify problems at the operating level rather than moving them up and down silos), and amplification (see problems earlier and more often when they are small).  Leaders need to liberate people's ingenuity rather than maximize efficiency, according to Steven. “There's too much in society where leaders think their job is to somehow collect data, do analysis, and then tell other people what to do.” While a fan of AI, Steven fears that leaders who are predisposed to data collection, analytics, and command and control management will turn AI into “an unholy devil for the rest of us” and dismiss creativity, dismiss ingenuity, and commitment to mission.  Steven and his co-author Gene Kim have tried to harmonize problem-solving ideas across different communities of thought. “We've all had the experience where someone says, ‘This must be a lean problem vs. a Six Sigma problem vs. a DevOps problem vs. an agile problem.' Folks, it's a people problem. That's it. It's people who are in a relationship and either relationships aren't working because they can't see problems, they can't solve problems, or they can't systematize what they learned. And so we thought we were doing some kind of service here to simplify the language so people could speak and collaborate across domains.” Optimism about organizations' abilities to transform: “Outside in a personal life, [people are] striving so hard to be valued by others. This is not in sort of any kind narcissistic, weak way. It's just this is what people try to do. This gets back to like our creative origins in that we want to do things useful and valuable to others. And then we bring them into the workplace, and we tell them none of that: we're going to be demeaning of you, of your potential, your opportunity, your chance for appreciation. So all we're saying is, what we've naturally been created or evolved to do, just extend that into the workplace. Mark, that's my source of optimism because when you start having conversations with people that way and get them to talk about all the joy they have as coach of this, as head of that, as volunteer here, it's like, don't leave that at the door. Bring it in. And people, when you say, ‘Oh, that's what you want me to do, yeah,' they're happy to do that.”

Can decades-old management philosophy actually help us tackle AI's biggest challenges?In this episode, John Willis, a foundational figure in the DevOps movement and co-author of the DevOps Handbook, takes us through Dr. W. Edwards Deming's System of Profound Knowledge and its surprising relevance to today's most pressing challenges. John reveals how Deming's four-lens framework—theory of knowledge, understanding variation, psychology, and systems thinking—provides a practical approach to managing complexity.The conversation moves beyond theoretical management principles into real-world applications, including incident management mistakes that have killed people, the polymorphic nature of AI agents, and why most organizations are getting AI adoption dangerously wrong.Key topics discussed:Deming's System of Profound Knowledge and 14 Points of Management—what they actually mean for modern organizationsHow Deming influenced Toyota, DevOps, Lean, and Agile (and why the story is more nuanced than most people think)The dangers of polymorphic agentic AI and what happens when quantum computing enters the pictureA practical framework for managing Shadow AI in your organization (learning from the cloud computing era)Why incidents are “unplanned investments” and the fatal cost of dismissing P3 alertsTreating AI as “alien cognition” rather than human-like intelligenceThe missing piece in AI conversations: understanding the philosophy of AI, not just the technologyTimestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:27) Career Turning Points(00:05:31) Why Writing a Book About Deming(00:12:53) Deming's Influence on Toyota Production System(00:19:31) Deming's System of Profound Knowledge(00:28:12) The Importance of Systems Thinking in Complex Tech Organizations(00:31:43) Deming's 14 Points of Management(00:44:17) The Impact of AI Through the Lens of Deming's Profound Knowledge(00:49:56) The Danger of Polymorphic Agentic AI Processes(00:53:12) The Challenges of Getting to Understand AI Decisions(00:55:43) A Leader's Guide to Practical AI Implementation(01:05:03) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____John Willis' BioJohn Willis is a prolific author and a foundational figure in the DevOps movement, co-authoring the seminal The DevOps Handbook.

As AI tools like Copilot, Claude, and Cursor start writing more of our code, the biggest challenge isn't generating software — it's trusting it. In this episode, JP (Jayaprabhakar) Kadarkarai, founder of FizzBee, joins Joe Colantonio to explore how autonomous, model-based testing can validate AI-generated software automatically and help teams ship with confidence. FizzBee uses a unique approach that connects design, code, and behavior into one continuous feedback loop — automatically testing for concurrency issues and validating that your implementation matches your intent. You'll discover: Why AI-generated code can't be trusted without validation How model-based testing works and why it's crucial for AI-driven development The difference between example-based and property-based testing How FizzBee detects concurrency bugs without intrusive tracing Why autonomous testing is becoming mandatory for the AI era Whether you're a software tester, DevOps engineer, or automation architect, this conversation will change how you think about testing in the age of AI-generated code.

In this conversation with Malte Ubl, CTO of Vercel (http://x.com/cramforce), we explore how the company is pioneering the infrastructure for AI-powered development through their comprehensive suite of tools including workflows, AI SDK, and the newly announced agent ecosystem. Malte shares insights into Vercel's philosophy of "dogfooding" - never shipping abstractions they haven't battle-tested themselves - which led to extracting their AI SDK from v0 and building production agents that handle everything from anomaly detection to lead qualification. The discussion dives deep into Vercel's new Workflow Development Kit, which brings durable execution patterns to serverless functions, allowing developers to write code that can pause, resume, and wait indefinitely without cost. Malte explains how this enables complex agent orchestration with human-in-the-loop approvals through simple webhook patterns, making it dramatically easier to build reliable AI applications. We explore Vercel's strategic approach to AI agents, including their DevOps agent that automatically investigates production anomalies by querying observability data and analyzing logs - solving the recall-precision problem that plagues traditional alerting systems. Malte candidly discusses where agents excel today (meeting notes, UI changes, lead qualification) versus where they fall short, emphasizing the importance of finding the "sweet spot" by asking employees what they hate most about their jobs. The conversation also covers Vercel's significant investment in Python support, bringing zero-config deployment to Flask and FastAPI applications, and their vision for security in an AI-coded world where developers "cannot be trusted." Malte shares his perspective on how CTOs must transform their companies for the AI era while staying true to their core competencies, and why maintaining strong IC (individual contributor) career paths is crucial as AI changes the nature of software development. What was launched at Ship AI 2025: AI SDK 6.0 & Agent Architecture Agent Abstraction Philosophy: AI SDK 6 introduces an agent abstraction where you can "define once, deploy everywhere". How does this differ from existing agent frameworks like LangChain or AutoGPT? What specific pain points did you observe in production that led to this design? Human-in-the-Loop at Scale: The tool approval system with needsApproval: true gates actions until human confirmation. How do you envision this working at scale for companies with thousands of agent executions? What's the queue management and escalation strategy? Type Safety Across Models: AI SDK 6 promises "end-to-end type safety across models and UI". Given that different LLMs have varying capabilities and output formats, how do you maintain type guarantees when swapping between providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Mistral? Workflow Development Kit (WDK) Durability as Code: The use workflow primitive makes any TypeScript function durable with automatic retries, progress persistence, and observability. What's happening under the hood? Are you using event sourcing, checkpoint/restart, or a different pattern? Infrastructure Provisioning: Vercel automatically detects when a function is durable and dynamically provisions infrastructure in real-time. What signals are you detecting in the code, and how do you determine the optimal infrastructure configuration (queue sizes, retry policies, timeout values)? Vercel Agent (beta) Code Review Validation: The Agent reviews code and proposes "validated patches". What does "validated" mean in this context? Are you running automated tests, static analysis, or something more sophisticated? AI Investigations: Vercel Agent automatically opens AI investigations when it detects performance or error spikes using real production data. What data sources does it have access to? How does it distinguish between normal variance and actual anomalies? Python Support (For the first time, Vercel now supports Python backends natively.) Marketplace & Agent Ecosystem Agent Network Effects: The Marketplace now offers agents like CodeRabbit, Corridor, Sourcery, and integrations with Autonoma, Braintrust, Browser Use. How do you ensure these third-party agents can't access sensitive customer data? What's the security model? "An Agent on Every Desk" Program Vercel launched a new program to help companies identify high-value use cases and build their first production AI agents. It provides consultations, reference templates, and hands-on support to go from idea to deployed agent
