We recently opened our new offices right in the heart of East Austin. Our execs Spencer Tuttle, Keith Messick and Tom Rabaut joined Redis employees, customers, and more to celebrate the grand opening. We’ve been part of the Austin community for years, but we can’t wait to get to know our new neighborhood. We’ll frequently be holding workshops, enablement training, and other get-togethers there, so be sure to keep an eye out for your chance to say hi in person.

Long ago, a manager told me when considering changing jobs, "be sure you're running to something, not away from something." That advice has stuck with me over the years, and has morphed in its meaning over time.
I had a really enjoyable time when I worked at Confluent, helping people find value in data streaming and how it could revolutionize the world's business interactions. Near the end of my time there, the COVID-19 pandemic struck. We were still a pre-IPO company, so things got weird. Very weird. My daily, fully busy schedule became more like one per day. And most of these calls were people talking about coping with what was going on. I got very nervous that Confluent wasn't going to make it as a company, and I decided to look elsewhere. It could be said I was "running...away from something." It turns out that no one really knew how to handle the pandemic and nowhere was necessarily better. Confluent went on to have a successful IPO, and I still encounter them at many mutual customers.
Fast forward to the fall of 2023. My friend Cliff G. won't stop telling me about Tabular, almost daily. For those who know Cliff, they know he's not the type to overhype anything. I finally gave in to his insistence and talked to the Tabular team. I've never met a more humble, fast-paced, and brilliant group of people (many of them are former Netflix). In my internal meetings, they're always ready to jump in and help out - and people back out when they know they're not going to help (an equally important skill!). I relish getting to have frequent conversations with the leaders of the company and I already feel like I'm able to make an impact on how we help customers unlock their data.
It's funny - back at Confluent, we often saw many people take data sources and stream them all ultimately into an object store. Anytime I asked what they planned to do with it, they typically didn't know, but they figured they'd store it there because it was cheap and they'd find value someday. Now with Tabular (based on the foundation of Apache Iceberg), they're able to extract that value from all of those files from all of those years - faster and usually cheaper (after optimization runs). It's so exciting to finally complete the circle of "dumping data" to "unlocking value" - and this is exactly why I "ran to Tabular."
I couldn't be more excited about the future.

🌟 Super excited to share that my training "Securing 4 C's of a Software Product: AWS Edition" has been accepted at BlackHat USA 2024, Las Vegas. 🚀🎉
Following a successful MVP demo, a startup secured significant funding, paving the way for the soft launch. Security is paramount, with challenges like scattered secrets and broad admin privileges. This inspired the creation of my training program, focusing on securing the core pillars of product security: Code, Container, Cluster & Cloud.

More of the Permiso team taking the stage at BlackHat in a few weeks!
Bleon P. will be leading a session called "Nebula - 3 years of kicking butts and taking usernames," where he will talk about building Nebula, a cloud C2 framework and some of the updates he's been making to this open source tool.

🔒 Important Security Note for EKS Users! 🔒
So adding an external-id when assuming a role is a security best practice that's quite commonly known, be it a service or a head user.
However, if your pod in EKS wants to assume a role, to maybe access an AWS service like AWS Secrets Manager to retrieve secrets, then unfortunately, you cannot use an external-id.
This is because `aws eks get-token` doesn't support external-id yet. Please upvote the Github issue below so that it can be prioritized.
