Containers, K8s, and the Cloud have positively impacted service delivery. But, have Dev and Ops benefited equally?

Outside complexity, separating workload concerns along the fault lines of the Process Model and POSIX (12factor.net), dating back to the 80s, runs against humans fragile flow state that’s best served when developing at the speed of thought.

Moving more DevOps upstream only complicates this. Humans are not workloads, and their environments are coupled to their devices. It works on my machine, right?

We'll explore a concrete Type System for the ENV endearingly called Owl 🦉 Store. A step toward moving Dev-Ops from zero-sum to positive-sum separating around mutual concerns. As a CRD, it should be in every repo.

We’ll learn:
1. How the Custom Resource Definition breaks down into a powerful type system.
2. Triangularity between ENV variables (key, value, type); plus validation & resolution.
3. How The Owl unlocks portability, better secrets-hygiene, and much-needed tooling.
