In this episode, Paul Burt talks with POP about etcd, distributed systems, and our favorite comics. Paul is an absolute genius and I think you all will get a kick out of the way he approaches not only the tech subjects we discuss but any subject in general.
Pauls BIO: Paul Burt is the Director of Community and Marketing at MayaData. He previously worked at CoreOS and Red Hat, and currently moderates /r/kubernetes. Paul has a knack for and demystifying infrastructure, and making gnarly, complex topics approachable. He enjoys home brewing beer, reading independent comics, and yelling at his computer when it doesn’t do what he wants.
