Basically be respectful of all of your fellow participants and presenters. And with that out of the way, my name is Paul Tchaikovsky and I am thrilled to welcome you to the grand final of the CNCF face-off between the SRE Street Band and Team Tinkerbell without any further ado, here is our host that he's both hot and smart, the everlushest Maddie Stratton. Okay, thanks Paul. I also realized I'm not using my good mic but that's just too bad. Hopefully it sounds fine. I'm not ready, but we're gonna start the game. Sorry, we can't hear you. I think you've got a bad mic or something. Can you speak up? I can. I'm messing with you, it's okay. All right, so there we go. We're back. Oh, that's so much better. Now he really is luscious. I am luscious. This is the luscious mic versus the just adequate mic before. That said, I can't believe we are here at the end of the road. I feel like there's a boys to men thing we could do here but we're not because we'll get a copyright strike probably because if I were to sing it, it would sound so much like boys to men that it clearly would be considered a copyright strike. But this is it. This is the championship. This is the final game of the first season, maybe the only season we don't know yet. We haven't gotten renewed yet. We'll find out. But of CNC face-off, if you're tuning in for the first time, well, heck of a way to come in at the end but it's okay, you can come along. What we've got is we've got two great teams who have battled their way or maybe just sort of walk their way on in. I'm not here to judge. To be in our final round, we're gonna be getting to meet our teams right now and we're gonna get things started. So our first team here in the championships fighting to see who will be awarded the coveted CNCF cup. Can we see the ass? There is the artist rendering of the CNCF face-off cup and the CNCF certification of your choice. Lloyd legal makes us say no, that's not real. But I don't know, just go find pop. If it's at KubeCon next week, he'll give you a certificate for a free one. That said, here are our teams competing. First off, we have coming back off of a bye week is the SRE street band. And starting off we've got our first player in the SRE street band is Alex. Alex, welcome back to CNCF face-off. What's your, how you feeling about your team's chances today? Feeling pretty good so far. So far in this entire tournament, we've not given up a single point and we're hoping to extend that streak. Excellent, excellent. Next player on the SRE street band joining along is Ian. I know you've got maybe some secret strategy in store. Can you give us a little bit of a hint about what we can look forward to today? We do have a secret strategy, but then if I told you it wouldn't be a secret strategy. The secret strategy is to keep the strategy secret. Yes, and rounding out the SRE street band is Keri. Keri, what do you think is the one thing your team has going for it that will just make your opponents just not even score at all? Definitely, it's because we were undefeated already. So that's probably making them shake in fear. Intimidation is a legitimate tactic. Well, facing off against the SRE street band coming back from last episode where they narrowly defeated the Rogues gallery, leading off team Tinkerbell is Jeremy. Jeremy, you've heard some tough talk coming from the SRE street band. Do you think their words can meet their boots? I think it was Colonel Mustard in the data center with the angle grinder. Ooh, we need to figure out how to do a clue version. I know we talked about Hollywood squares, but clue could work. Our next player on team Tinkerbell is going to be Mark. So Mark, what do you think is going to be... What set you to victory in the last face-off? Yeah, Mark, the real deal, Glockenspiel here. I think that last time I turned up, first time I was playing, and I just brought the fire. And I'm just going to do the same today. I think really the reason why they haven't conceded the point yet is because they've never been against me. So let's see how it works out. That's fair, that's fair. And rounding out the team, one of the things about team Tinkerbell is they mix it up every time. They always have a new player each time. That might be a secret to the success. And in her first time on the face-off, just coming into the champions, which is how you got to do it, is Shelby. Shelby, are you nervous? I'm nervous, I'd say no. I'm pretty hyped, bringing the beginner's luck and some rookie energy here. So hopefully we can... Not hopefully, definitely. We can kick some butt. All right, okay, with that said, let's get ourselves right into the face-off. Our first face-off is going to be Alex facing off against Jeremy. So get your hands on your buzzers. Remember, do not buzz in until I complete reading the question. What we've done is we've asked hundreds of cloud-native engineers, a bunch of survey questions, and our players have to guess what the most popular answers were. And we'll proceed along. It's family feud is what we're doing here, okay? I mean, for crying out, this is like seven episodes. You all get it by now, right? Okay, producer Paul, let's get that first question on the board. Hands on your buzzers. Let's see what we've got. What do you think most developers spend most of their time doing? All right, first buzz was Alex. Alex, what do you think most developers spend most of their time doing? Copying code snippets out of Stack Overflow. Show me copying code from the internet. Survey says. And it's the number two answer. Fantastic. Okay, Jeremy, you do have a chance to steal. If you can guess the number one answer on the board, your team will take control. Otherwise, the SRE Street Band will run. So what do you think is the number one answer on the board there, Jeremy? I'm gonna shoot writing code. Show me writing code. Survey says it's the number one answer, which means Tinkerbell will play. All right, moving ourselves on over to Mark. So Mark, you got four answers and three strikes. You've got some space to move here. We asked hundreds of cloud native engineers. What do you think most developers spend most of their time doing? Engaging in flame wars on either Twitter or Hacker News. Show me flame wars on social media. Survey says tweeting or shitposting. Excellent. Okay, Shelby, you got three answers to go and three strikes. You're sitting pretty comfortable here. I'm gonna go with waiting for code to compile. Show me my code is compiling. Survey says. No, first strike. Okay. Fun fact, the audience actually here's the strike, I think. I don't remember, but I know the players don't. Okay, Jeremy, you got three more to go and two strikes. What are most developers spending their time doing? I'm gonna go documentation. Show me documentation, writing docs. Survey says no. Of course that. The code is self documented. What they claim they're doing, what they claim they're doing. All right, Mark. Got one shot here to, you know, one strike but three possible answers. What do you think? Keep bugging. Show me debugging my code. Survey says. No, all right. No. Okay, Alex, your team has a chance to steal. If you can guess one of these three answers you will take all those points. So go ahead, confirm among your team. Let me know when you've got yourself an answer or when I get tired of waiting. All right. I don't know, what do you all think? Chatting on Slack? Either Slack or maybe email. Yeah. Attending meetings. Meetings. Ooh, meetings might be good. Oh, yeah. I feel like meetings could be a number three. I'm feeling good about meetings. I like meetings or Slack. Like, you all like meetings? I'm feeling the meetings. Yeah, me too. Okay, then let's go with that. Okay, survey says. Meetings is the number three answer on the board which means 45 points go to the SRE street band. But let's see what numbers four and five were. What else was still on the board? We had making mistakes but most of the time making mistakes or yelling at computers. Excellent. Okay, so we've got to start but 45 points that's not insurmountable. There's still three more questions to go. Next face off is going to be Mark versus Ian. Players get to your buzzers and let us see the next question. When I deploy infrastructure, I use this. Ian, first buzzed in. What's the number one answer on the board? Circle CI. Show me Circle CI. Survey says no. Okay, which means then Mark, we'll just, we go ahead and y'all just get to play. So what do you think, Mark? Bash. When I deploy infrastructure, I use this. We asked hundreds of cloud native engineers. Bash. Show me Bash or Shell. Survey says no. All right, Shelby. You got six possible answers but only two strikes but you got a good shot here. We've already seen it's not Bash. It's not Circle CI. What do you think was the answers that we received for when I deploy infrastructure? I use this. Cloud native engineers. People who are part of the cloud native community like CNCF, maybe Kubernetes. Show me Kubernetes. Survey says no. Okay, Jeremy. This is not going to be a, what could be, you could come back. I feel like there's a whole category that's being missed. Okay, Jeremy, what do you think? We asked all these engineers, what do they use to deploy infrastructure? I'm feeling names and logos. Let's go with, let's go to our friends at Terraform. Show me Terraform. Yes, the number one answer on the board. Okay, you're still holding on here, Tinkerbell, but you can't get one wrong. All right, Mark, what do you got? When I deploy infrastructure, I use this. Sorry, me? Yes. Okay, after Terraform, I don't know if we're going that way. I'm going to say Ansible. Show me Ansible. Survey says number four answer on the board. Okay, now we're moving. Shelby, what do you got for us? You got only one strike and a couple more answers. Sure. Cloud formation. Show me cloud formation or CF templates. Yes, the number three answer. Okay, Jeremy, back to you. You've got your team back in it with Terraform. You got three more to go. What do you got for us? Oh, our other favorite, Pulumi. Let's the Pulumi. Show me Pulumi. Survey says... What? This is how you know that I did not cheat by putting in the answers. Okay, so Ian, your team has a chance to steal here. If you can name one of the three remaining answers, you will steal these 34 points and put yourself in a really nice position going into the third question. See, what do we got? Terraform, Cloud Jenkins, yeah, maybe Jenkins. Because I care for... Do we want to do something IAC or do you want to get jokie? There's almost always one, right? What about like hopes and dreams or... Prayers, right? I feel like there's probably at least one more named IAC in there. Well, there's also Chef and Puppet maybe. Yeah, I'm not going to say any of these. They're all kind of right. It's just what we're the answer to. It's a little old, I feel like, but... Yeah. I'm stuck on this. I say we go with Chef or Puppet. They're both so popular in the general DevOps-y community that I think kind of leads into this. Yeah, I see. Okay, show me Chef or Puppet. Survey says... Oh, well, yeah. Okay, so that means the points go to Tinkerbell. And let's see what the remaining answers were on the board there, Paul. Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. And we also had someone else or another team. And finally, Yammel. Yammel. All right, but this is good. Now I'll say this, you're saying Chef and Puppet, this is the year 2021 of our Lord Beyonce. So, you know, let's keep going. I know, but we're old. I worked at Chef. All right. So we got ourselves a game though. It's all right. Sorry to, it's SRE Street Band. You know, you have been scored upon now, but you know, it's pretty close. You're gonna have to earn this one as we go into our next round, which is Carrie versus Shelby in the face-off. Contestants, hands on your buzzers. Are you ready? We good? Ready. Okay. What is your main source for tech news? Okay, Carrie's our first buzz. What do you got? Twitter. Say it again? Twitter. Show me Twitter. Survey says number one answer on the board. Okay. All right, moving along. Alex, you're sitting well here. You got five answers, no strikes. Number one source for tech news. Reddit. Show me Reddit. Survey says, yes, it's number three answer. Ian, let's see if we can get yourselves sitting real, real good here coming off of this third question. Main source for tech news. We asked hundreds of engineers. Maybe hacker news. Show me hacker news or the orange website. Yes, it's a number two answer, which is so depressing. All right. Carrie, we've kind of got, I think some of the easy ones out of the way. These are not to diminish the hard work that the team has done so far, but I think it's getting a little trickier now. Main source for tech news. Let's say like coworkers or like a Slack channel. Show me my coworkers or internal Slack. Survey says, no, that was a good one. Good one there. Okay, Alex, what do we got? Three more to go, two strikes. Twitter, hacker news, Reddit. Not your coworkers, slash dot. Show me slash dot. Since apparently we're talking about a decade ago. This is the legacy episode. Survey says, no, that's a strike. All right, Ian. Got three answers, but only one strike to go. If you don't get this one, then Tinkerbell has a chance to steal. Now, I mean, I do want to follow, I'm thinking about going with kind of Alex's queue there or maybe saying dig, but I don't know that I want to go there quite yet. But maybe, we already said the internal slacks are not, okay, but maybe public Slack channels or actually, no, I'm gonna take it back. I'm gonna take it back. Maybe Discord channels. Show me Discord or Discord channels, public channels. No, okay. That brings us Shelby. You have a chance to steal. If you talk amongst your team, if you all can grab one of these, you will pull those 37, well, more than 37 points over to your side, which will set you up nicely for the final question. I'm feeling email newsletters. I'm thinking exactly newsletters or like a feed reader, but just something, yeah, probably newsletters. What about LinkedIn though? I mean, I know, I don't enjoy it, but I do read it a lot. That's, you know, Facebook or- Vlog, I don't enjoy it, but I read it a lot. Could mean so apply to so many things in my life. No, I'm late. Do people get tech news from LinkedIn? Do people answering this survey get tech news from LinkedIn? I'm gonna say no. I'm leaning newsletters. Okay. Show me newsletters. Survey says newsletters that are not from Corrie Quinn, which means that 45 points go to Team Tinkerbell, but let's see what the other answers were. Last one. Next answer on the board was Corrie Quinn. Yeah, Corrie Quinn. And the final answer was podcasts. Okay. This is, all right. So I think you've got a, let me, this shot exists. Let's, I think, yeah, it's not over yet. This brings us to our final face-off, our final round, Alex against Jeremy again. And let's have fingers, fingers, hands on the buzzers, clickers on the buzzers. Let's see our final question as we see who will win the CNC face-off cup. Name something associated with cloud computing. Alex, so fast. Okay, Alex, what do you got? Confusing pricing structures. Show me confusing pricing structures. Survey says, no, okay. So that starts with you, Jeremy. Can you name something associated with cloud computing? Servers. Show me servers. Survey says, no, well, okay. So, but wasn't that playing? I thought they get control because, oh, now we don't remember what happens. I think it was the team. And it goes back to Alex. I mean, I think it was my team. My team gets it. That's the rule. No, all systems don't go to anything. They've got a lot of time until we get it this way. Look, I have the team. I have the rule in front of me. And the rule is the team that was asked the question originally gets to play if they both failed. Okay, so that would be SRE Street Band then. So yeah, it goes back to Alex, right? So it would be Ian because Alex buzzed in. So yes, Ian, Alex, the SRE Street Band has control of the board. That's a different game, but they get to play. So Ian, let's go. Something associated with cloud computing. Maybe VMs. Show me virtual machines. Survey says, this is going to be, I said there wasn't going to be a controversial one. I feel like maybe this is where we are. Okay, Carrie, name something associated with cloud computing. Your team is going to have to get pretty much all of these, I think, in order to pull this off. So. I'm so surprised that the answers that were already given are on the board. So I feel like I have to switch gears. Can we say AWS? Omi Amazon or AWS. Survey says, yes, the number one answer on the board. Okay. All right. Okay, Alex, something associated with cloud computing. So I mean, I want to do more fun stuff, but if this is the only hit we've had, let's go with GCP. Show me Google Cloud or GCP. Survey says, no. Okay, Ian, you got to get these out so we can pull this off. I, well, I want to keep going with the one hit that we got in saving Azure. Oh, how about CNCF? Show me cloud native or CNCF. Survey says, no. Okay, so if you have a chance to spill, I'm pretty sure math-wise- This is the hardest one ever. I know, it just makes no sense. So, how do we feel about Kubernetes? I mean, how do we feel about Kubernetes as an answer? I was gonna say that seems like a pretty big question. I think it's either something like Kubernetes, well, but they already got rid of CNCF. So it could have been some sort of other brand name like EBS or something. So I'm thinking Kubernetes or EBS right now. Was that your answer? Kubernetes. I don't know, I got a mind of boss. Okay, Jeremy, it's your call. Kubernetes. All right, show me Kubernetes. Survey says, no. So the 13 points go to the SRE street band. What is this question? I know, like it's unfair, I demand another question. Demand another question. I don't have an answer. Okay, let's see the answers. All right, let's see what the answers are on the board and I, these are from the survey. I'm just gonna tell you, and I'm surprised myself that y'all didn't get them. Well, 13 was the highest one though. Yeah, it was pretty broad. So we did what we could do. We have a question. This is process, right? Okay, sadness? Sadness. And next answer was security breaches. That wasn't even this week. This was from a while ago. Our next answer was APIs, so people associate APIs. And then the number two answer on the board was Corey Quinn. Corey Quinn. I was gonna say that too. No. How many of these survey responses came from Corey's IP? Corey and Tim have been over there stuffing these ballots. It's pretty quick, sadness. Wouldn't those be the same answer? It is a little bit the same picture. All right, that does bring us to, so we award those, the points have been awarded. So, and that leaves us with our champions of CNC face-off, our team, Team Tinkerbell. Next week at KubeCon, we will be presenting Team Tinkerbell and or their duly appointed representative with the CNC face-off cup. I would show it to you now, but according to Amazon, it's supposed to be delivered by 10 p.m. tonight to my house. So I actually can't show it to you. It won't be complete anyway. So it's okay, but thank you everybody for participating SRE Street Band. We've got some lovely parting gifts. We've got a lifetime or a year supply of Rice Seroni to San Francisco Treat, as well as the CNCF certification of your choice. Just find Pop, he'll hook you up with that. That's his problem to take care of it. We get to defer all those things. You also have an invite to the next round of whatever CNCF game show nonsense and I think, yeah, thanks to all of you for playing, everybody for watching. Sorry, Matty, this is just coming in. Pop is letting me know that every contestant state also gets a fully expenses paid trip to KubeCon EU next year. Oh, perfect, perfect. Just reach out to Pop and he will take care of that for you. Also, any finalist when you're in the Chicagoland area can be treated to an evening of tavern pizza. You know, hosted by me. Well, we'll definitely take care of that for you. Pop is in the chat spamming the word no. So we will be hearing from the CNCF lawyers, I'm sure. But until then, we hope to see the people that we do see next week at KubeCon. If we're gonna see you there in person or virtually it's hybrid. So we're gonna do some fun things with CNCF TV. We're gonna have great wrap ups every week. So make sure if you have not already mashed that follower subscribe button here in Twitch. So you'll know when all that great stuff is happening. I know I'll be hosting the Friday night wrap up show at the end of the week. So that should be fun. The rest of them will probably be fine too, I guess. And yeah, so with that, we will see you at the next iteration of game shows here on CNCF TV. Yay!
