Coolest story I've heard the last couple days was about @khedley's mother's career as the first woman air traffic controller in the USAF, then as a controller in the private sector, and later as a developer following the 1981 air traffic controller strike.

Also, had a really good chat at breakfast this morning with @dietmar.kling, @ccook0, @aherweyer and a few others whose names I didn't catch this morning about controlling costs in the cloud. Dietmar mentioned how he was working on a private cloud for developers to work in that would track resource usage so that they would have a better idea of what their applications would cost when hosted in the public cloud. He also mentioned how they were I believe avoiding using the AWS API as much as possible and building just for Kubernetes (not sure if that makes sense - containers and Kubernetes are still very new to me and I know nothing about AWS) so that if e.g. Azure became more cost effective for them than AWS then it would be easier to switch platforms. Chris and Alex talked a bit about their lab environment for devs and how if you leave something there for longer than 90 days those resources are destroyed. I never caught his name but someone else mentioned using ParkMyCloud to minimize waste in cloud costs. https://www.parkmycloud.com/about/ We all thought by the end that it would be really cool to hear from others what their experiences are on this topic.

@jerreck.moody thanks for sharing the story. I mentioned Park My Cloud for AWS this morning!

I've been trying to get approval to attend this event for years. Not only did I get to go this year, my CIO came with me. After day 1 he told me the sessions he saw cleared up some misconceptions he had about DevOps.

Great sessions but most valuable were the networking (birds of a feather, lean coffee) would have liked more of those.

As a first timer at Does,I'm super thrilled about this summit and the immense knowledge I gained from the experts and shared with fellow delegates. I'm Equally super pumped to pass on, and implement the principles learned to rest of my team and organizational wide. The key is ongoing learning, reaching out for new heights. Proud to be part of this top community. #mystory.

I'm from Ecuador. I'm returning home with a lot of very useful knowledge and also very inspired and eager to share it with my team and to help to develop the technology ecosystem in Latin America. 😀
