Today's history lesson is about the non-markup language platform engineers love to hate, YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML). Ingy tells us all about how and why it started, how it evolved over time, and what's happening next with YS. Note: sorry about the audio issues in this episode. We did our best to clean it up.Links:https://helmys.org/https://yamlscript.org/https://exercism.org/https://yamlscript.org/ingydotnet/

Recovering from Disaster with Seth Eliot
Disaster recovery is more than automation and infrastructure. There's a lot that goes into your services and some of those things can't be defined as code or automated. When was the last time you restored your database from a backup? How do you use least privileged access when your region changes and how do you even know you're having a disaster. Seth has a lot of experience and a ton of good insights in this episode.LinksSeth’s Linktree https://linktr.ee/setheliotarpio https://arpio.io/services/EKS Auto example repo https://community.aws/content/2sV2SNSoVeq23OvlyHN2eS6lJfa/amazon-eks-auto-mode-enabled-build-your-super-powered-clusterDisaster recovery white paper https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/disaster-recovery-workloads-on-aws/disaster-recovery-workloads-on-aws.htmlDisaster recovery blog series https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/tag/disaster-recovery-series/Ship it! with Pete Naylor https://changelog.com/shipit/127Engineering Resilient Systems on AWS by Jennifer Moran https://www.amazon.com/Engineering-Resilient-Systems-AWS-Resilience/dp/1098162420Four Things Everyone Should Know About Resilience https://community.aws/content/2duX45O6vKOE7cmmXQ9Nj3tO3bL/should-know-resilience
