Almost six months ago I wrote an introductory post announcing the Datanauts Podcast, a show focused on modern data center design coupled with mixing technical silos. With 2015 drawing to a close, I’m really pleased to share that we’ve managed to release 19 shows that cover a wide range of topics. This is, in fact, where I’ve directed a fair bit of my time usually spent writing blog posts. I find that talking to various technical wizards across silos is quite stimulating, rewarding, and helps in my quest to remain ever vigilant when it comes to seeing which technologies are being absorbed in today’s data centers. And it’s fun to share these conversations with the world!
Thus far, feedback on the show has been excellent. It’s also a pleasure to record with my co-host, Ethan Banks, as he is a really snazzy gentleman who has been creating excellent shows at the Packet Pushers for over half a decade. We originally met at Cisco Live 2013 and wanted to make a weekly show specifically for technical professionals who were looking to expand their horizons across skill sets as it relates to data center design, architecture, and engineering.
We’ve now released our 19th Datanauts show focused on PowerShell Automation. However, there’s a large variety of topics and I really think you’ll enjoy many of the shows and guests we’ve put together for you. Here’s a few that came to the top of my head when writing this post:
- The Realities of Hybrid Cloud
- Making the Most of Consultants
- Docker, Open Container Initiative, And Containers
- Apache Mesos: A Data Center OS
- Automation for Fun and Profit
- Performance Troubleshooting (part of The Silo Series)
I’m really pleased with the amount of effort we’ve been able to carve out and invest into this show, and it’s great to see the Packet Pushers network expand beyond hardcore networking knowledge to encompass more pieces and parts of the data center. Other shows that you can find on their channel include: The Weekly Show, The Network Break, Priority Queue, and Citizens of Tech. As always, if you have comments or input into the show, I’m all ears.
We’re really jazzed up about 2016 and plan to produce a ton of great shows. The goal is one per week each Wednesday. Like the show? Tell a friend! Tell two friends! Both Ethan and I really appreciate all of our listeners and hope you have a great holiday season. 🙂
