Mahesh Kumar, VP Marketing CFEngine
@mahesh_CFE
Hello Everyone! It is not too often that one gets to join a company with solid fundamentals when it comes to technology and one that finds itself as the change leader in an area that is evolving real-time (DevOps and Continuous Delivery). Well, I am thrilled to report that I am onboard here at CFEngine as their VP of Marketing.
In the days ahead I will be reporting back frequently on the cool things we are doing here at CFEngine. Such as recently winning an award from JPMC that you can read more about in our blog. Of course we could speak about the ground breaking and innovative areas we are focused on here at CFEngine such as continuous delivery and continuous operations. However I am getting ahead of myself. I wanted to use this post to introduce myself as well as talk about the recent Velocity and DevOps Days events in NYC.
It was unusually warm and nice in NYC this time of the year. Velocity started out with some great talks by practitioners and thought leaders in this space. Jeremy Edberg of Netflix delivered one of my favorite sessions. As the reliability architect at Netflix his hands are full; the talk he gave on ‘How Netflix Operates Multi-Region Clouds for Maximum Freedom and Agility’ was informative and gave the audience a peek into the Netflix philosophy around operations - including not having a QA department or Engineer! There were many other notable presentations from the likes of Google, Facebook, Etsy, DataDog.
