This perspective is interesting. It’s not about how big the user base but how influential the users are, and what’s the role of the tool in the bigger picture of social conversations vs. in a vacuum > Twitter was the spark that ignited the Bezos bombshell https://t.co/bigGoQmEg9

@AndiMann @jpmorgenthal The notion that IT is somewhat still in its early days and manually crafted like a pair of artisanal shoes (I’m Italian, what do you expect), lacking the rigour and tooling of #automation, is not something I expect people to accept without mixed feelings.

@jeffsussna No, but I’d like to keep my job…

On stage and in customer meetings, I keep saying: without #automation, human professionals (no matter if IT ops or devs) won’t be able to win 3 challenges of modern IT:

1. Scale of infrastructures
2. Complexity of app architectures
3. Speed of #AI

Happy to repeat it ad nauseam

My controversial statement of the week has been “For the most part, the IT industry still still in an artisanal phase. Public cloud providers were the first introducing a discipline and a systematic adoption of #automation, leading the way towards a still far industrial phase”

My two weeks business trip is coming to an end. Two Ansible Automates keynotes and many, many customer meetings in Madrid, Luxemburg, Brussels, and Milan. All excited about @Ansible, the future of #automation, and Ansible Security Automation.

@fintanr @bt_uk I had to chance 4 houses (and one countries) to finally have fibre. I feel like I live in the future how.

@Beaker Thanks. I’ll consider them for my most passive aggressive days.

Choosing a title for a keynote I’ll do in the US. Which one do you like better:

1. Dear Central IT, automate or be automated.
2. We learned how to scale infrastructures and applications. How do we scale IT operations, now?
3. Automation: the decade to come
