"Because I don't want software to go down every single day in my next gig!" is what drives the motivation of Ash Patel, Reliability Advocate and Podcast host of SREpath, to talk about and educate IT professionals on the importance of building and operating reliable systems.For 15 years Ash used to be Director of Operations at a private health service organization. He has experienced that patients couldn't get the treatment they expected due to unreliable software he was responsible for. In our conversation Ash talks about how he had to close the knowledge gap on technology but also solve the problem by having engineers understand the pain and the requirements of their end users. One way to educate more engineers is through his podcast called SREpath where Observability has become a hot topic recently. Tune in, hear about the memorable stories from his guests from CapitalOne, IKEA and SquaredUp, and lets move towards a world where software is reliable by default.Links as discussed today:Ash on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ash-patel-srepath/SREpath Podcast: https://www.srepath.com/podcast/Clearing Delusions in Observability https://read.srepath.com/p/30-clearing-delusions-in-observability-2af Boosting your observability data's usability https://read.srepath.com/p/35-boosting-your-observability-datas-3f4 How to Enable Observability for Success https://read.srepath.com/p/40-how-to-enable-observability-for
