Running local models on an M4 with 24GB memory

Local LLMs work best as supervised coding assistants. The writer ran Qwen 3.5 9B (Q4) in LM Studio on a 24GB MacBook Pro and got about 40 tokens per second, with thinking mode, tool use, and a 128K context window. The author saw mixed results: Qwen helped with simple Elixir linter edits, then failed.. read more ย

S3 Files and the changing face of S3

AWS launchedS3 Files, an EFS-backed feature that mounts any S3 bucket or prefix as an NFS filesystem on EC2, containers, or Lambda, with changes batched back to S3 roughly every 60 seconds. Rather than collapsing file and object semantics into a single model (an early design attempt called "EFS3" th.. read more ย

Why Queues Donโ€™t Fix Scaling Problems

Queues do not create capacity, they delay the moment insufficient capacity becomes visible, and sustained overload turns a queue from a smoothing buffer into a cascading failure that takes down databases, connection pools, and consumer instances before it ever hits the queue's own limits... read more ย

Incidents *Will* Happen. Are You (Actually) Prepared?

Joe Mckevitt, CTO of Uptime Labs, argues that incident prevention and incident preparation are not substitutes, and that organizations relying on the heroic engineer who knows the infrastructure at 2amhave a habit, not a strategy. The piece pushes for a deliberate playbook (practiced communication, .. read more ย

I Left Port 22 Open on the Internet for 54 Days. Here's Who Showed Up.

A 54-day SSH honeypot on port 22 logged 268,000+ login attempts from 7,556 IPs, with 99.6% of attackers running a single automated fingerprinting command and only 28 ever opening an interactive shell. The data shows hardcoded IoT credentials and Solana validator hunting dominating the password lists.. read more ย

ย Activity
@ozzuns created an organization How the Right Digital Marketing , 1ย month, 1ย week ago.
DevOpsDayLAย is Southern California's premier conference focused onย the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who understand that great software isn't just about tools, it's aboutย people working together effectively.

The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World: You're working in a world where AI is everywhere, embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.

We're looking for stories about how you and your organizations are adapting yourย mindsets, processes, and team dynamicsย in this rapidly evolving landscape. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated? What are the real implementation challenges you're facing inย Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturingย companies?

What makes DevOpsDayLA different:ย We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself.

We especially welcome new speakers, under-represented voices, and fresh perspectives from across SoCal's diverse tech landscape.
