Both reflect the desire to understand and manage risks associated with your code. But whereas an SBOM stops at cataloguing the provenance of the bits in your codebase, the software supply chain is a much broader idea: it also includes the people and processes associated with delivering code from source to production, just as a physical supply chain covers the logistics as well as the components needed to bring goods to market.

(I think that’s right, tell me if it’s not.)

Either way, it’s weird out there:

At some point while drawing this, I gave up on the idea that it might be helpful to anyone. It did lead me down a rabbit hole, though, of learning that there are as many different lists of Rs as there are Cloud Thought Leaders. My list does not exactly correspond to any of them, as is my right under maritime law.

Many of you will recall my long-running tech cartoon series at A Cloud Guru. I don’t work there anymore, but I still want to draw silly tech comics from time to time. So I figured this mailing list might be a fun place to share them. I’ll try to send one every Friday or two.

If you don’t want to get these cartoons, you should be able to unsubscribe from the “cartoons” section of the mailing list while still getting my essays, the Best Jobs in Cloud, etc. Let me know if you have any questions about that.
