Latency2023 - The devops of video games by Ben Curran
When I started working with cloud services and devops toolsets, things felt strangely familiar. Like I had done this kind of stuff before. I realised something big - I've had a lot of practice doing this stuff. Through my years I have spent a LOT of time playing video games and they have taught me a lot of these skills that I was now using in the real world. It turns out, I had been teaching myself devops concepts for years by playing my favourite video games.
I want to take you on that journey through some of the best DevOps video games ever made, and the key concepts I took from them that taught me the core foundations of DevOps over the years before I even knew what it was. You may look at the games you've played over the years in a different way and find lessons that they have taught you about your career.
