b'How are companies evolving in a world where Cloud is on the rise? Where Cloud providers are bought out and absorbed into other companies?\\nToday, we\\u2019re talking to Nell Shamrell-Harrington about Cloud infrastructure. She is a senior software engineer at Chef, CTO at Operation Code, and core maintainer of the the Habitat open source product. Nell has traveled the world to talk about Chef, Ruby, Rails, Rust, DevOps, and Regular Expressions. \\nSome of the highlights of the show include:\\n\\nChef is a configuration management tool that handles instance, files, virtual machine container, and other items. \\nImmutable infrastructure has emerged as the best of practice approach. \\nChef is moving into next gen through various projects, including one called, Compliance - a scanning tool.\\nSome people don\\u2019t trust virtualization. \\nHabitat is an open source project featuring software that allows you to use a universal packaging format. \\nHabitat is a run-time, so when you run a package on multiple virtual machines, they form a supervisor ring to communicate via leader/follower roles. \\nDeploying an application depends on several factors, including application and infrastructure needs. \\nIt is possible to convert old systems with old deployment models to Habitat. \\nHabitat allows you to lift a legacy application and put it into that modern infrastructure without needing to rewrite the application.\\nYou can ease in packages to Habitat, and then have Habitat manage pieces of the application.\\nHabitat is Cloud-agnostic and integrates with public and private Cloud providers by exporting an application as a container. \\nChef is one of just a few third-party offerings marketed directly by AWS.\\nFrom inception to deployment, there is a place for large Cloud providers to parlay into language they already speak. \\nOperation Code is a non-profit that teaches software engineer skills to veterans. It helps veterans transition into high-paying engineering jobs.\\nThe technology landscape is ever changing. What skills are most marketable? \\xa0\\nOperation Code is a learning by experience type of organization and usually starts people on the front-end to immediately see results.\\n\\nLinks: \\nNell Shamrell-Harrington\\nNell Shamrell-Harrington on Twitter\\nNell Shamrell-Harrington on GitHub\\nOperation Code\\nChef\\nRuby on Rails\\nRust\\nRegular Expressions\\nHabitat\\nAWS\\nKubernetes\\nDocker\\nLinkedIn Learning\\nGorillaStack (use discount code: screaming)'
