1. Detection Engineering in the Age of Cloud – Jimmy Vo – ESW #262
Cloud, DevOps, Kubernetes - the world has gone crazy. We don't have servers anymore - we have workloads, instances, and serverless. We have CI/CD pipelines. These workloads are distributed, immutable, and ephemeral (aka 'DIE' - hi Sounil!) in many cases.
Today, we chat with Jimmy Vo about what it was like, as a detection engineer, to come from a traditional banking environment and suddenly get thrown into a world full of 'cloud-first' startups.
"DevOps folks are nuts."
--Jimmy Vo
