“Diversity leads to better outcomes… better decisions, increased innovation, stronger financial returns, and a great place to work for everyone” said Janet Van Huysse, Head of People at Cloudflare during our Q1-2020 kickoff. Veterans, people who have served in the military, are a vital element of a diverse workforce. We come in diverse shapes, sizes, colors, genders, and orientations. We bring diverse skillsets, experiences, and perspectives.
If you haven’t served in the military and haven’t worked with many veterans, here are some of the things that you can expect from your colleagues or direct reports that are veterans.
Veterans know what it means to SERVE. Indeed, it is a truism that living in service to others is a life well-lived, and that service to others is a foundation of esprit de corps. Though relatively few of us have seen combat, we have all signed a blank check to our nation made payable for any amount, up to and including our lives. This is what it means to become part of something bigger than oneself. This translates to putting our common shared interests ahead of our personal interests even when that means becoming an instrument of a foreign policy we Continue reading

On February 10th, The NRE Labs project launched four Ansible Network Automation exercises, made possible by Red Hat and Juniper Networks. This blog post covers job responsibilities of an NRE, the goal of Juniper’s NRE Labs, and a quick overview of new exercises and the concepts Red Hat and Juniper are jointly demonstrating. The intended audience for these initial exercises is someone new to Ansible Network Automation with limited experience with Ansible and network automation. The initial network topology for these exercises covers Ansible automating Juniper Junos OS and Cumulus VX virtual network instances.
Juniper has defined an NRE or network reliability engineer, as someone that can help an organization with modern network automation. This concept has many different names including DevOps for networks, NetDevOps, or simply just network automation. Juniper and Red Hat realized that this skill set is new to many traditional network engineers and worked together to create online exercises to help folks get started with Ansible Network Automation. Specifically, Juniper worked with us through NRE Labs, a project they started and co-sponsor that offers a no-strings-attached, community-centered initiative to bring the skills of automation within reach Continue reading

Since its founding, Docker’s mission has been to help developers bring their ideas to life by conquering the complexity of app development. With millions of Docker developers worldwide, Docker is the de facto standard for building and sharing containerized apps.
So what is one source of ideas we use to simplify the lives of developers? It starts with being a company of software developers who builds products for software developers. One of the more creative ways Docker has been driving innovation internally is through hackathons. These hackathons have proven to be a great platform for Docker employees to showcase their talent and provide unique opportunities for teams across Docker’s business functions to come together. Our employees get to have fun while creating solutions to problems that simplify the lives of Docker developers.
At Docker, our engineers are always looking for ways to improve their own workflows so as to ship quality code faster. Hack Week gives us a chance to explore the boundaries of what’s possible, and the winning ‘hacks’ make their way into our products to benefit our global developer community.
-Scott Johnston, Docker CEO
With that context, let’s break down how Docker runs employee hackathons. Docker is Continue reading
