DevOps and Docker Talk: Cloud Native Interviews and Tooling

• What's Coming in 2025?

  This episode is about what I'm seeing and what I'm doing right now, and then for the rest of the year. There are three parts. First, I talk about what's about to happen for me for the next few weeks re going to London for KubeCon. Then what I'm planning to change in this podcast, as well as my other content on YouTube for the rest of the year. And lastly, I talk about some industry trends that I'm seeing that will force me, I think, to change the format of this show. I recorded the episode on March 22, 2025.★Topics★My work at KubeCon EU in LondonWhat's next for this Podcast and my YouTubeWhat's up with AI for DevOps?Creators & Guests Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host (00:00) - What's Coming in 2025 (01:07) - Highlights I'm excited about re KubeCon (04:35) - Changes to this Podcast (05:58) - What's up with AI and "Agentic DevOps"?

• Docker Build the best way with Docker Bake

  The Docker Bake Build tool just went general availability, and I'm excited about what this means for creating reproducible builds and automation that can run anywhere. In this video I'm gonna break down some of the features, the benefits and walk through some examples.In this episode I explain why docker buildx bake exists, what it can do, and I walk through multiple examples of Bake files and how it's better than docker build image and docker compose build. I also touch on BuildKit and Docker's GitHub Actions.There's also a video version of this show on YouTube.★Get started with Docker Bake★Walkthough https://docs.docker.com/guides/bake/ Docs: https://docs.docker.com/build/bake/GA Announcement: https://www.docker.com/blog/ga-launch-docker-bake/Creators & Guests Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host (00:00) - Intro (00:04) - / (00:41) - History Lesson (01:29) - Bake Today (02:43) - Ad for...

• Is Swarm at EOL?

• Aikido: Is a Single DevSecOps Tool Possible?

  Or watch the video version on YouTube. Bret is joined by Willem Delbare and Roeland Delrue to discuss Aikido, a security tool consolidation platform designed specifically for smaller teams and solo DevOps practitioners. The discussion explores how Aikido addresses the growing challenges of software supply chain security by bringing together various security tools - from CVE scanning to cloud API analysis - under a single, manageable portal. Unlike enterprise-focused solutions, Aikido targets the needs of smaller teams and individual DevOps engineers who often juggle multiple responsibilities. During the episode, they demonstrate Aikido's capabilities using Bret's sample GitHub organization, and show how teams can implement comprehensive security measures without managing multiple separate tools.There's also a video version on YouTube.★Topics★Aikido websiteAikido on BlueskyAikido on LinkedInCreators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host Willem Delbare - Guest Roeland Delrue - Guest (00:00) - Intro (06:20) - Aikido Origin Story (10:32) - What Does AutoFix Mean?
