Product management versus delivery management... two distinct but complementary roles within a company, each serving essential purposes. Understanding their significance can shed light on their importance to an organisation. Some may argue that both are essential, while others might contend that product management alone is enough. Let's explore and determine their significance.
In this episode of the Cloud Unplugged podcast, Jon Shanks and Jay Keshur share their thoughts on product management and delivery management. They discuss how these roles contribute to efficient product development and when they become crucial, the challenges and importance of having a clear vision for your product, and how to settle the potential conflicts between these roles.

Jon and Jay discuss what Day 0, 1 and 2 mean in the cloud deployment and touch on platform teams work to create a great experience for their clients: developers. Jay talks us through how to build a platform as the goal keeps moving.
Jon and Jay dive into what, according to them, a good developer experience really is, from writing code, all the way through to troubleshooting your application. The ease with which you get logs, and metrics, understand problems and how platform teams can support them.
Richard Smith from Codification.io joins the podcast. He has helped build several enterprise cloud-native platforms, often modernising legacy applications with the Cloud. The key player involved in the DevOps team, and especially during a transformation, there are some everyday struggles. Richard shares the common DevOps struggles that he witnessed with us.
You wouldn’t build your own car, so why would you build your own platform?
Jon and Jay consider the pros and cons of building your own. Spoiler alert: they advise against it. Cloud provides innovation behind the scenes, whereas building your own means you have to hire a team and sink enormous costs before providing any business value.

Most of us aren't at Spotify's scale, so for us mere mortals what is actually useful to implement? Jon and Jay work it out by discussing squads, chapters, agile delivery teams, platforms, and what really works for delivering in the cloud.
Is there a place for DevOps in a Cloud Native world? And what does Cloud Native really mean? Appvia founders Jon Shanks and Jay Keshur take on these questions and more. Come for the answers. Stay for the laughs. You don’t want to miss this one!
When it comes to delivering in the Cloud, you need to know when to stay in your lane. People are the most expensive resources in any organization. Jon and Jay answer the question, what’s the golden path for secure application delivery in the cloud and how much of that can you outsource and insource while still remaining lean?
Jon and Jay cover best practices in authentication and authorization, and how to avoid the complications that can arise with multiple teams and projects. Topics include:
- The importance of establishing SSO and the use of single identify from the very beginning
- Authorizing and managing access for multiple teams, and how the process differs among the 3 big Cloud vendors.
Jon and Jay answer the age-old questions: Is a landing zone right for your company? What are the reasons for a landing zone?
The evolution of Cloud services in the past few years has brought tremendous benefits, but also new challenges. These new complexities in cloud services make it difficult to ship applications.
From tooling, to principles, to lack of standardized metrics, Jon and Jay lay out the current challenges in DevOps and why delivering cloud applications can be so arduous.
Listen to a lively discussion about the state of DevOps today.
Our hosts Tim Stahl, Graeme Colman, and Salman Iqbal discuss the biggest problems in DevOps and how to solve them.
- How DevOps teams interact with other roles is becoming fuzzy
- DevOps tools and how people are using them
- Fail fast: if you pick the wrong tools and processes, pivot and move on
