Supply Chain has become a household term during the pandemic - this is because issues in supply chain has led to disruptions for consumer goods or even chicken sandwich - as Marshall pointed out in his blog post here (https://devopslamb.wordpress.com/2020/12/30/disaster-recovery-for-supply-chains/)
I'm joined by Marshall Lamb, Distinguished Engineer and CTO of Sterling, IBM Sustainability Software to discuss what a resilient supply chain looks like, how to build it and its relationship with SRE. Marshall also shares his guidance for practitioners interested in the supply chain industry and ingredients organizations should embrace to building resilient solutions.

In this episode with return guest David Leigh, we explore one of the most important pillars of Season 3: how learning transforms systems—and more specifically, how resilience is built not through tools or processes alone, but through the interplay of diverse perspectives, psychological safety, and evolving mental models.
In this unique episode, we sit down with Dr. Jane Goodyer, Dean of the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University and a global leader in reimagining engineering education. From her inspiring personal journey to pioneering Canada’s first fully work-integrated digital technologies degree, Jane shares how academia and industry can collaborate to prepare graduates for the ever-changing world of work.
Season 3 of Making of the SRE Omelette is here - and it’s all about resilience.
The conclusion of the two part crossover podcast series explores the intersection of AI with sustainable IT operations featuring Jerry Cuomo from The Art of AI and Kevin Yu from Making of the SRE Omelette. The discussion delves into practical measures for more efficient energy use in AI systems, emphasizing the need for data and the analysis of past behavior to inform energy-efficient decision-making. Jerry and Kevin highlight the importance of balancing AI and human inputs to achieve meaningful tasks and improve overall quality of products. Discuss challenges such as right-sizing compute and recognize the pivotal role of data in addressing these issues, advocating for a data-driven approach to answer critical questions and provide necessary context for decision-making.
