Using BUCC on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

BUCC is a command line tool from Stark & Wayne that let's you easily set up BOSH, UAA, Credhub and Concourse on multiple IaaS providers.

Continuous Learning

• https://twitter.com/an0xff - weekly cross-team meetings with 3 minute 'daily-style' intro round per person and 1-2 deep dive topics with 30-45min each where people present new things and discuss possibilities to apply/integrate them.
• https://twitter.com/paolizq - Coding dojos to increase software craftsmanship and knowledge on programming tools.
