Day Two DevOps features hosts Ned Bellavance and Ethan Banks, who steer conversations about the ongoing, real-world work of running cloud platforms. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's a practical look at the complexities that emerge after the initial deployment, drawing directly from their own extensive backgrounds. Each week, they bring in other seasoned professionals-technical leaders, trainers, and consultants-to unpack the specific nuances and unexpected challenges within environments like AWS and Azure. The dialogue spans critical areas including networking, security, and automation, all through a lens of operational DevOps. Listening to this podcast provides actionable insights and grounded perspectives that help practitioners navigate the continual evolution and management of their systems, moving beyond setup to sustained, confident operation. The focus is on the knowledge required for the long haul, offering a resource for those deep in the details of cloud infrastructure.
