Data centers are no longer just IT infrastructure — they're becoming some of the most complex, process-controlled facilities in the world. In this episode, we explore how explosive growth in data center demand is reshaping what it means to be an OT engineer, and why the tools of modern software development are now essential on the plant floor.
Hosts Travis and Tom sit down with Jason and Keith to unpack how the surging demand for data center capacity is driving a fundamental shift in OT architecture. What was once the exclusive domain of IT — DevOps practices, containerization, and Kubernetes — is rapidly becoming standard equipment for industrial software engineers.
The conversation moves from big-picture trends to ground-level practicality: What does a DevOps approach actually look like in an OT context? Why is Kubernetes the natural evolution after virtualization? And how do these technologies apply even if you're not operating at hyperscale?
