Cloud Cost Memes
1. Level your risk

When Finance and Engineering work in silos, conversations can get a little awkward. Finance wants to cut costs no matter what. Engineering wants to provision resources for peak performance — oh, and level risks.
2. When technical debt catches up

The cost of reworking, or shipping now and dealing with consequences later, doesn’t seem crucial until it is. Instead, help your engineers understand the cost impact of their technical decisions so they can build cost-effective solutions.
3. We can allocate all your cloud spend — not without retagging, though

Cost allocation tags can be a pain in the neck, especially at scale or when you need to merge with a team or company that has a different tagging system.
4. Caption this: When a surprise AWS bill smacks you in the face

5. Don’t you dare settle for just “fine”

7. When a DevOps engineer goes all the way from the get-go. Solid foundations are important, you know.

8. When you explain to a DevOps recruiter what full stack means — and they take it personally

9. What a successful career in DevOps does to your letter-writing knacks

10. Who is an optimist? A person who sees a glass as half full. Who is a Site Reliability Engineer? The person who sees a glass as 99.99% full.

11. How the DevOps project started on Day 1 with the client, product manager, and team lead

How it’s going.

Kubernetes Memes
Kubernetes exponentially became the go-to container orchestration platform. But Kubernetes can be daunting, especially at scale. These Kubernetes memes show why.
12. When they told you all you needed was a YAML file to master the Kubernetes deployment

It is going to be easy, they said. But then you need to code to extend it.
13. Talk of running applications in containers on Kubernetes

14. Got 99 superpowers but running databases on Kubernetes reliably ain’t one of them

15. Does this apply to every team that is yet to use a managed K8s platform?

Funny Tech Memes
16. Don’t you dare make a joke about Continuous Delivery

17. It’s not just manual monitoring and infrastructure configuration

If you transfer the same on-premises practices you’ve used before to the cloud, you are likely to have a problem. Instead, you want to leverage automation, continuous monitoring, and cloud-native architecture to achieve the promise of the cloud.
18. Moving to the cloud won’t solve every problem you’ve ever had
But monitoring your cloud migration can improve your migration costs, security, and more.
19. When you thought you’ve fixed a major problem by lifting and shifting a legacy app to the cloud, but now you have a bunch of bugs, security issues, and runaway costs

Relatable DevOps Tweets
20. The speed of light has nothing on outages

21. Who else wished they could say this has not happened to them more than once

22. DevOps Borat is still relevant 10 years later

23. How to get the right answers from your machine learning system

24. What stakeholders think of when they hear “hybrid cloud”
