A wide mix of content this week, with posts on IT governance, building teams around psychological safety, the divide between the devops community and the traditional ITSM community, and more technical posts on service discovery and scripting atop Kubernetes. Hopefully something for everyone.

This post makes the important point that any successful attempt to adopt devops practices in a large organisation has to address the mismatch between traditional IT project-centric governance and the the needs of flow.

Notes from a conversation at configuration management camp back in February, about the mismatch between modern infrastructure environments and classic ITSM tenets. In particular looking at CMDB as something that should be useful to everyone, but maybe isn’t.

A look at using CRDTs for service discovery. Contains a good overview of other options, including DNS and tools like etcd and zookeeper, and why they chose CRDTs with Akka as an alternative.
