Welcome to the month of November. I am excited to reboot my newsletter in a new monthly format. Of course this coincides with my new role in Walmart as Staff TPM at PeopleTech, which is exciting, so I will definitely look to add a hint of SRE and DevOps topics over the course of my newsletters.
The way I am reformatting the structure of this newsletter will consist of industry news and interesting blogs that I follow, and some articles that I publish myself.
