Listened to Does GDPR work? Cisco/AppDynamics, Solarwinds, & Honeycomb by Software Defined Talk LLC 
Post details
Due to Coté feeling weird (and being diagnosed with the flu), this week you get a curated selection of our new podcast, Software Defined Interviews. There are two artisanal selected clips.
