Google's educational efforts and the underlying Cast functionality, etcd3 and its switch to using gRPC, and AWS opens up its Mumbai region which makes me go on a slight tangent about the differences between regions.

Dockercon is over, but it brought a lot of really interesting things that I'm taking a look at today. I can't cover everything in this short note though, so I recommend that you take a look at the Docker blog for anything else. I'll also take a brief look at Chef's new Habitat tool.

Apple's WWDC introduced new options for Siri and I'll take a look at how that compares to the rest of the voice assistant world. Also, a brief look at Microsoft's acquisition of LinkedIn.

App Store subscriptions are an interesting thing and I have some ideas about where this could (but probably won't) go, and I decided to give my opinion about Apple Pay as well now that I've got it.

A new tool for online development, AWS outage, and AWS' interpretation of DevOps.

Some additional thoughts on Bitbucket's Pipelines, a new interface for Jenkins, and the happy result of the Oracle v Google lawsuit.

Pipelines seems to be almost as popular as machine learning right now and earlier this week Atlassian announced that Bitbucket now has them built in as well. Or rather, it's in beta. Naturally, I was interested so I decided to take it for a spin. This article shows how I set it up for one of my existing projects, and I'll go into the good parts and the limitations.

Google held it's I/O conference last week, and there was quite a lot of interesting things in there. That means this note is going to be mainly focused on that with some related links thrown in for fun.

Amazon introduced their IoT button, Wercker released a new way of working using workflows, and the EFF announced Certbot.

A little earlier than usual due to my holiday, this week's update brings you my initial impressions of Jenkins' first major update and a couple of other small things I wish to note.

In my ongoing quest for automating all deployment related matters, I discovered I needed a way to pull in single files from S3 for my Wercker builds. As I couldn't find a step for that, I built one.

Now that it's been released, I'll give my thoughts on why CareKit is potentially so important and talk a bit about the new automation features for OmniFocus.

It's a very AWS heavy period, and I'll dive into a couple of the more personally interesting announcements of last week. Then there are Intel's recent changes, and I have some thoughts on subscription services in the wake of TextExpander's changes.

While Aqua neatly makes the initial setup for my Lambda functions easier, that still left me with the deployments. In order to deal with that, I therefore made a simple deployment step for Wercker. I'll first go over how to use it, before showing how it works.

Last month I wrote about the installation script I built for Igor, but as I started writing more Lambda functions recently I realized that I needed that same functionality in a more easily accessible way. So I created Aqua to do this for me.
