Ever since I started signing GitHub commits with SSH keys I’ve made sure to use git v2.35 or later. Unfortunately Google Cloud Shell comes with a rather crusty old version of git (as part of the fact that it’s still based on Debian 11 ‘Bullseye’). Just copying over a more recent git binary doesn’t work. […]

TL;DR Amazon Web Services Certified Solution Architect Professional (AWS CSA Pro) took me a lot more time to study for than Google Cloud Platform Professional Cloud Architect (GCP PCA).

Or more specifically, Modern Apps are written in Modern Languages, get deployed onto Platforms, and that deployment process is Continuous Delivery (as these things are all interconnected). Background ‘Modern Apps’ seems to be a hot topic right now. Some of my DXC colleagues are getting […]

Certification
TL;DR Knowing how the cloud works is becoming essential knowledge in the IT industry, and getting certification is a reliable way of ensuring that knowledge is consistent and tested.

Open Source and Export Controls

All three of the major cloud service providers have (or have announced) ‘have your cake and eat it’ versions of their services where data resides on premises whilst stuff is managed from a control plane in the cloud.

Originally posted internally 12 Jan 2016: What Would Google Do? It’s a good generic question when considering any problem in the IT space. Often the answer is pretty obvious, where Google’s already doing something (and better still if it’s published the hows, whats and whys).

All of the major cloud providers now offer some means by which it’s possible to connect to them directly, meaning not over the Internet.
