DevOps Decrypted: Ep. 19 - The Open Source Drama Broadcast

DevOps Decrypted: Ep. 19 - The Open Source Drama Broadcast

It looks like Rasmus has gone rogue in this episode… He’s kicked Laura out as host and commandeered the DevOps Decrypted podcast to further his own agenda – ranting about open-source drama! We're kidding about Laura, she's just taken a break for this episode. But we’re certainly not kidding about the open-source drama; it's actually a huge topic that could have far-reaching consequences for devs and providers globally. Of course, we’re referring to HashiCorp's decision to move Terraform to the business source licence, or BSL. Jon, Jobin and Rasmus discuss what this all means, how it reminds them of the Jenkins debacle, and what impact it could have on Adaptavist and the dev community at large.

But the big story on the agenda is Adaptacon 2023, our internal, global conference. Jon explains the challenges of organising an event like this and its benefits – even when the talks appear to have nothing to do with our business.
