Kubicast #96 — Back to basics with Mateus Prado

In this episode of Kubicast we had the honor of hosting Mateus Prado—who started his career as an IT instructor and now works as a Senior Technical Account Manager at AWS—to talk about the importance of having basic knowledge of infrastructure to work in DevOps, without living on "makeshift workarounds".The thing is, sometimes the problem isn't in Kubernetes, but in the DNS, and you don't know how to interpret the message it's giving you. Also, what can happen is that when you don't understand the HTTP protocol, another primary networking resource, you end up lost among statuses you don't understand deeply and API responses. Then, you're just praying that they get from one side to the other.So, in a DevOps role, especially as a beginner, your life will be easier if you understand the essential concepts of networking, because in times of trouble you need to know how things work to fix them, even if today we work with platforms that abstract all of this!Press PLAY to check out this AWESOME conversation!https://www.buzzsprout.com/184652/11160022
