Lightning Talks - Fear of the Bus: Docs and DevOps

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Advocates classifying all DevOps knowledge into three bins: automatable, structural, secret and automating anything scriptable so runbooks become code not long instructions. Operational docs favor punch‑lists, templates and a spreadsheet audit with analytics to find gaps and user search terms. Store secrets with threat‑modeled access controls, keep one canonical flat single‑file wiki for findability, and wire a Slack react to open GitHub doc issues. Exercise continuity with a chaos‑monkey off‑duty test that removes pagers and access to reveal missing steps.
