Virtual Stack Podcast is back after a 10 months long hiatus! On the 40th episode of the show, I'm joined by a fellow Red Hatter and the co-host of the The Cloudcast, Brian Gracely. With Brian, we look into several technology trends such as cloud computing, web3, security then we discuss what to expect in 2022 and beyond. Virtual Stack is available on all major apps: Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher and more. As usual, feel free to share your feedback via Twitter (@emregirici), LinkedIn or virtualstack.tech.   Show notes: 1:30: Intros 6:00: Cloud computing 20:30: web3 and Metaverse 27:45: Security 33:15: Tech investors and VC funding 39:45: Future of work and great resignation. 47:30: Closing notes   Links: Brian's twitter. The Cloudcast: Web, Twitter.

Brian Gracely (@bgracely) speaks with Noah about the history of Red Hat OpenShift and how it, and its teams, have evolved to address the needs of the community. We talk about the duality of contributing to #Kubernetes in both an enterprise, and upstream sense, and how to solve for the requirements of companies that are NOT Google.

In other words, machine learning. But ML is limited by the quality of data available, and there is a lot of unstructured, unlabeled data out there that is still being manually labeled today. Scale.AI is a well known startup that has done very well offering a scalable manual labeling workforce, however they are still bottlenecked by the number of subject matter experts available for labeling critically important data, like cancer diagnosis and drug trafficking rings. In order to get labels from subject matter experts, you typically have to put them through a very tedious process of labeling to build up a useful structured dataset upfront before any useful machine learning can be done.I did some very minor ML work about 5 years ago and found Christopher Re's work on DeepDive at Stanford. It takes a revolutionary approach by making it easy to write the labeling functions themselves. This turns the labeling process into an iterative, REPL like experience where subject matter experts can suggest a function, see its impact right away, and continue refining it, assisted by AI. DeepDive is now commercialized in a startup called Snorkel.AI, so I was very excited to find a clear explanation of Snorkelflow from its CEO, Alex Ratner. Here it is!Transcript[00:01:15] Alex Ratner: [00:01:15] SnorkelFlow is a platform that's meant to take this process of building machine learning models and AI applications. And I get all starting with buildings, the data that they rely on that fuels them and make it, in a nutshell, look more like an iterative software development process. Then you know, this kind of 80, 90% upfront just, hand labeling exercise.[00:01:34]And so snorkel flow supports that entire iterative loop of, actually laboring data. Can be by hand in the platform, but also most centrally programmatically by letting users, what we call labeling. Basic idea, is that rather than say asking your, legal associate at a bank to, or your doctor friends to sit down and, label a hundred thousand contracts or a hundred thousand electronic health records have them, right.[00:02:00]Sharistics are bits of their expertise look for this keyword or look for this pattern or look for this, et cetera. I'm like a bridge from old, expert knowledge type input. Modern machine learning models using one to power. The other. So a snorkel flow is an IDE basically, and has a no-code UI component as well, but let's not people either via code or by pushing buttons for even, non-developer subject matter experts say to.[00:02:24]Programmatically labeled their data by writing these labeling functions and then uses a bunch of modeling techniques. A lot of which was actually, the work that, that the co-founding team. And I did in, in, in our kind of thesis work around how you take a bunch of programmatic data and clean it up and turn it into a final.[00:02:41]Instead of clean training data for machine learning models, and then actually in snorkel flow, you can, autumn, basically push button train best-in-class open source models. You can then analyze where they're succeeding or failing and, and use that to go back and iterate on your data.[00:02:54]And there's a Python SDK throughout the whole thing. So many of our customers will mix and match. Will you start.  Create the training data set and then train the model on some other system, et cetera. But what's normal flames of support. Is it basic iterative development process where, you know, rather than just spending months to label a training at once and then being stuck with it and having to throw it out and start all over again, anything in the world changes your upstream input, data changes your downstream objectives.[00:03:18] Change, making it again more like an iterative process where you push some buttons or write some code. That label the data. You compile a model or train it, but you can think of it like compiling and then you go back and debug by, by iterating on your data, everything centers and snorkel flow around looking at your data and iterating on how it's labeled to improve models.[00:03:38]Brian Gracely: [00:03:38] I'm curious. So you mentioned you mentioned in there's a there's a Python SDK, which for anybody who, works in data science, data modeling, right? Python is your language to Frank sort of the language you use or are you a couple of them, that's the language that, you how you do your program, but I'm curious, like in today's world, Do data scientists consider themselves programmers or is there still Hey, look, I work on the numbers, I'm good at building models and the numbers, but I don't think of myself as a programmer.[00:04:08] Like how do you bridge those two worlds together or do you not really have to bridge them together? How much does the data scientists have to go? I have to focus on numbers and models versus I have to focus on programming, something to do stuff. What's their world look like?[00:04:21]Alex Ratner: [00:04:21] It's a great question. I think I, I haven't been are currently I'm part of four or five different data science institutes or something. And I don't even still know. I mean, the data science is such a broad umbrella term. There's so many different varietals of us and, and types.[00:04:35] And so I do think there's a very broad spectrum of, the data scientists. An ML engineer and just, loves writing codes are the one that, to your point really just wants to push some buttons and get back to the numbers and the modeling and the outcome. And, we definitely, try to support the range through a layered approach.[00:04:50]And, we, we have , but on top of that, we have a a no-code UI that allows you to write these wavelength functions without writing code. So for example, if you're trying to train a CA a contract classifier and snorkeled flow, you can, write Lateline functions based on clicking on keywords or pressing buttons with kind of templates for types of patterns or signals you want to look for.[00:05:11] So, No we try to support basically, if you want to move fast and you're a non developer, or you're just not looking to spend time there, you can just do it in push-button way. But then if you want to go and customize or inject custom logic or really get creative, you can always fall back to the Python SDK.[00:05:27] And so, I mean, I think a lot of the what we're trying to accomplish in the very beginning, right? Raised me abstraction know level at which you're interfacing with and programming your machine learning model or your AI application. And the first step is the hardest, right?[00:05:39] If you think of the way that hand labeled training data is, it's like the machine code, or really actually, just so you know, I think of it as like the ones and zeros, literally for binary classification cases. Yeah, a lot of the effort behind the circle project and the company is just, or was just getting from that layer to the layer of, assembly language day.[00:05:57] But once you get there, you can build all those layers on top and you can go up the stack and down the stack, according to the application of the user type, right. Actually, my co-founder Braden who was, who also did his PhD around, snorkel related stuff, had a paper actually on how you could use natural language inputs.[00:06:12] You could explain in, in natural light. Just speaking to the computer, why a certain data point should be labeled a certain way and then use off the shelf semantic parsers to parse that down to code, which then would get dumped into snorkel. So basically once you make this leap from labeling data, by ham kind of zeros and ones to labeling your training data with code, then the sky's the limit in terms of building layers of abstraction on top of it.[00:06:35] And that's actually a lot of what the company does and has been doing over the last two years is. Building a flexible interface through our platform, snorkel flow for different data types and use case types and user types. [00:06:45]Brian Gracely: [00:06:45] Yep. Well, and, and I think you, you really answered my question in there.[00:06:49] The reason I brought it up was on one hand you have this you have this language level SDK in terms of Python, you can get into, Some pretty granular level stuff. And then you have, on the other end, you've got application studio, which you said, like you said is this sort of low code graphical way of, building templates and building applications.[00:07:08] And I was like, There must be like, I think sometimes there's just perspective of there's one profile of a data scientist. And I think what you really highlighted is it, it's like a lot of things there's a spectrum of, those that specialize in one part of the job, others that don't care about it and want it, certain things to be easy.[00:07:25] And so that, that was useful because I think sometimes like in my head, I'm thinking, okay, Data scientists is served a certain sort of task the same way you might say okay, they're a Java developer. So they, there's a tool set that they always use. So that was super helpful.[00:07:39]Alex Ratner: [00:07:39] Yeah. And it depends on what the problem is too. I mean, the other thing also that I think goes under, emphasized in the air space big. Points number one. And I don't think it's that avant gardening where to say it was maybe more back in 2015 is, Hey, AI is about the data, not the models or the algorithms, which I think, fewer people will find a controversial statement today.[00:07:57]Even if it's phrases in a somewhat reductive way. But the other thing that I still think is under emphasized in practices and necessity of lupus. What we often refer to as subject matter experts into the process. And so I think w and I won't ramble here too long, but just for some perspective, and this is actually the very first  funding that, that the snorkel project ever had was specifically about looping what they call SMEEs and the government subject matter experts.[00:08:20]Our original partners were some genomicists at Stanford. How do you loop them into the. Of AI in a better way than just saying, Hey go label data for eight months for me, please. And this idea of how do you get subject matter expertise from a human's head into a scalable machine format has been the focus of AI for, decades, but the answer of modern machine learning today for the last, five, 10 years.[00:08:44] Okay, just sit them down, have them labeled data points one by one, nothing else. They've got all of this rich domain knowledge, a doctor, a lawyer, a cyber analyst, network, technician, and underwriter. Throw that all away, just have them literally just, give zeros and ones labeling data. And that's a nice abstraction.[00:09:01]And it has been actually a very productive one for the field, because that means the ML engineers can totally abstract the way the messy realities of real-world data and real world subject matter experts. And just focus on optimizing, a fancier model architecture. But I think we've reached a point where it starts to become silly and impractical to have this wall.[00:09:19] The subject matter expert and the data scientists. So I'll let us loop back and say, but a big focus of circle flow is about making these interfaces in this process, accessible to a non-developer who's, a legal associate or an underwriter or a network technician and have the process too. And that's another motivation behind the kind of, layers, including no-code UI.

Every company does it, and it's partially based on data and partially based on guessing (a.k.a. “forecasting”). Nearly every business project is going to have a technology elementBusiness projects have a scope, a timeline, and a measurement. They budget them by the quarter, half-year and fiscal-year. Business opportunities often involve something new.Legacy IT Economics have never been able to keep up with this model, hence cloud computing disrupted both a technology model, but also a business model. Cloud allows experimentation (fail-fast, A/B testing, parallel experimentation, fast scale-up or scale-down, etc.)Cloud allows the addition of technical skills within additional peopleCloud allows access to global resourcesCloud allows access to new innovations and technologiesSUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

Not actually moving the people, but acquiring technology that runs itself.Discounts tend to live at the beginning (free tiers, introductory offers), and then when you start becoming “too big to leave”.Keeping track of spending is just as complicated, and sometimes more complicated than in your data center - can only spin up what you own vs. the “unlimited cloud”Pricing models continue to be complex in the cloud (per-user, per-task, per-GB, per-usage, etc.), but there are so many options that you might be able to better align it to your business needs. SUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

No “free-tier”.Large vendors would have financing arms to create loans, or “on-demand” pricing (typically based on “true-up” reports at various times of year).Businesses still needed to pay for all the facilities to house the data center (building, power, electricity, insurance, etc.)Open source software began to change some of those dynamics, but not all companies had the staff to operate open source software.SUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

This week on The Business of Cloud Native, I talked with Brian Gracely about using Kubernetes for edge workloads as well as the difference between “cloud” and “edge.” HighlightsIs edge part of the cloud, is cloud a part of edge or are they completely separate but slightly related environments? What makes something a data center vs what makes something an edge device? How enterprises think of edge vs how Telcos think about edge. How the edge has gone from being a cost center to a competitive advantage for enterprises.Why Telcos have always thought of edge as a market opportunity. Why Kubernetes can help standardize environments and make it easier to deploy software to the edge, but there are still challenges to overcome. Why edge deployments require re-thinking many basic environmental factors like bandwidth and compute capacity. Why consistency at the edge is so important. Why you can't ignore the physical conditions that make edge environments unique. LinksBrian on TwitterThe CloudcastRedHat OpenShift

SHOW: Season 2, Show 4OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.FRAMEWORK FOR CONSIDERATIONDoes your technology impact your customers? Does your technology improve or degrade your teams? Do your competitors better leverage technology than your company?Do you use technology “excellence” to help recruit new talent? Do you actively market your technology excellent, opportunities, or projects, etc.REAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS:Quite a bit of what we discussed in Episodes 1-3 can be applied to gaining a competitive business advantage (Innovation, Experimentation, Reduce Costs, Manage Risks).But forward looking companies are now realizing that every business decision is also a technological decision, and using it to their advantage.Are your people speaking about it in public?Are you positioning your company as a technology-centric company?Are you able to hire people in locations where technology is prevalent, or allow remote workers? Do you understand how to make technology modular, via partnerships, or using 3rd-party services instead of building it yourself? SUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

The reality (in today's world) is that most companies use a variety of cloud services, whether that's IaaS. PaaS or SaaS-level. Does your company make centralized or decentralized decisions on cloud usage?Is there a distinct business reason to use multiple clouds? Does your company expect to integrate applications across clouds, or do they tend to be isolated? Do you have the people (or partners) to manage across multiple clouds? Are acquisitions a big part of your company's innovation strategy? How much do you have to care about the longer-term future of your company?REAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS:All of the cloud providers, and many software vendors, that can help you run consistently across multiple clouds.There is integration technology that can help you tie together multiple applications (via APIs).Most companies don't “cloudburst” applications between clouds, because they usually have built up enough data gravity that it would be expensive to move the app and the data. SUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

COVID really challenged if that was true for a number of companies.   Are you able to use technology to adapt your business when significant market changes happen? Is your company able to respond to significant market changes with innovative technologies in a timely manner? Is your business able to survive a significant market change with alternative ways to engage markets? Does your leadership team support the investments to become a company that can take advantage of digital transformation? REAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS:Transformation is difficult.

SHOW: Season 2, Show 3OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.FRAMEWORK FOR CONSIDERATIONThis episode is going to focus on both how you can reduce risk (overall, vs. what you had before), but also look at what risks you need to consider when using the cloud.Risk of Innovation: We'd like to try something new, but will we be successful? (setup, pick the right technology, pick the right vendor, allocate the right budget)Risk of Planning: We planned and planned, but will we be successful when it's time to execute? Risk of Overspending: Depends on the service, might actually be more challenging in cloud (requires a change of thought-process)Risk of Failure: The scope of failure can be (somewhat) better controlled, although there are still examples of cloud failures. This is more about scope and timing that can be more granular.REAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS:It's important to understand the “Shared Responsibility Model” when working in the cloud. What do you own, and what does the cloud own? Not enough companies understand this.Risk (or Opportunity Costs) are very difficult to measure. Sometimes you need to work backwards and look at what you can control and what you can't control. Can you design around what you can control? Can you design around what you can't control?RISKS OF USING THE CLOUDNot having good governance - self-service can lead to some very large billsNot having good cost controls - see aboveIt's important to understand the “Shared Responsibility Model” when working in the cloud.

The cost and timing of innovation is too steep and too slow. Now, you might get $5M to create that initial MVP (Minimum Viable Product), and not only prove the technology but also prove the business model (“finding market fit”). Great ideas no longer need a gatekeeper. Tech skills can be offloaded to cloud services. Open source software is freely available, and examples are published online. Innovation can get more immediate feedback (works, doesn't work, market feedback), as well as iterate (or refocus) without the massive costs of completely re-tooling.  Experiment with new processes that are not currently in use by your IT organization.Try new HW or SW without making a significant commitment (e.g. GPUs, Global CDNs, etc.Use SaaS applications to see if you can retire an aging backend system, or new ways to engage with customers.SUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

SHOW: Season 2, Show 2OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.FRAMEWORK FOR CONSIDERATIONPayment Flexibility (Free Tiers, Per-user (SaaS), On-Demand, Reserved-Instances, Usage-Credits, Spot Markets, Capacity Usage); Can Mix & Match as neededCAPEX vs. OPEX  (although this isn't always a benefit, or the preferred way to pay)Immediate access to the latest technology, innovation (“built-in smart people”)More focus on “solving business problems”Visibility to inefficiencies (data centers, usage, etc.)Ability to reconsider, re-evaluate, change, eliminate projects much easierREAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS:Let's begin with a basic concept - cloud computing isn't cheap - but access to good technology has never been cheap.You'll likely spend too much when you get started, because you bring legacy processes to the cloud. Depending on the service you use (IaaS vs. PaaS vs. SaaS), you're still going to need smart people (certified skills, consultants, community interactions, etc.), but they may now be more focused on the business challenges than the technology challenges.There are plenty of automated tools that can help with cost-visibility and cost-management. Might be simpler to setup things like Backups, Disaster Recovery (use the cloud, not dedicated, pre-bought resources)Can we prevent people from “just spinning up cloud resources”? Yes and No. SUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

SHOW: Season 2, Show 6OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.FRAMEWORK FOR CONSIDERATIONEven though there are some similar technologies between what you do today and in the cloud, how you interact with them can be very different. Do you have people on staff that are curious about technology? Want to learn new things?Be prepared to invest in your people learning how to work in the cloud. Certifications in the new world are valuable. Don't assume that “like” technologies are alike between data center and cloud.Don't dismiss “like” skills as not being transferable to the cloud.  Invest in automation. Invest in security. Don't be afraid to bring in some new people with cloud skills. REAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS:Cloud skills and certifications tend to pay better than legacy skills and certifications (check out Indeed, Dice, etc.)Don't dismiss the value of understanding existing corporate culture, but also don't expect it to easily or seamlessly transfer to the cloud.Expect security and compliance to be the slowest to adapt to a move to cloud - the things they have to answer to (regulations, compliance, auditors, etc.) are even slower to change.  SUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

SHOW: Season 1, Show 9OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.  What does AI/ML/Big Data mean in the cloud? The on-demand nature of public cloud really made sense, these capabilities require lots of data, lots of computing (various levels of capacity, variable amounts of time), and their ability to impact the business could be connected to how quickly new experiments were tried. How are AI/ML/Big Data services allocated? They are very much like “SaaS” offerings, run by the public cloud, with some level of “nerd knobs” to tweak usage patterns. It usually involves the ability to ingest data, ETL/clean data, store data, run algorithms, use predefined models, build customized models. How were AI/ML/Big Data services allocated before cloud computing? Massive capital outlays for equipment that was difficult to setup and maintain, and oftentimes didn't have a model for sharing across groups within a company. What does the cloud computing provider do with a AI/ML/Big Data offering (responsibilities vs. customer responsibilities)? Cloud providers typically run the underlying services, and then there is variability on what the user can control or needs to do. Why are there so many variations of AI/ML/Big Data? This is sort of like databases, in that we've learned different ways to build models, test models, store data (real-time vs. historical).  Does it matter where the AI/ML/Big Data is located? How do clouds organize AI/ML/Big Data?How much do AI/ML/Big Data services cost in the cloud? What are the various ways you can buy AI/ML/Big Data? Examples:AWS AI/ML - https://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/AWS Analytics - https://aws.amazon.com/big-data/datalakes-and-analytics/Azure Analytics - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/product-categories/analytics/Azure AI/ML - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/ai-platform/GCP AI/ML - https://cloud.google.com/products/aiSUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

SHOW: Season 1, Show 8OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.  What does Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud mean in the cloud? This is the concept of either running an application consistently across two (or more) clouds, or managing a set of applications across multiple cloud environments. This can also be a set of applications made up of multiple cloud services.  How are Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud services allocated? Some companies take the “same technology everywhere” approach. Some take the “same process everywhere” approach. Many are still trying to figure out how to make diverse clouds seem consistent.How were Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud services allocated before cloud computing? This has been an on-going challenge for companies for nearly 10yrs, as they have a mix of on-premises and public cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, etc.). It becomes more challenging as Central IT groups get disaggregated by LoBs that control their applications now. What does the cloud computing provider do with a Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud offering (responsibilities vs. customer responsibilities)? Cloud providers are trying to extend from the cloud into private data centers. Software providers are trying to extend into public cloud services. Why are there so many variations of Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud? Does it matter where the Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud is located? How do clouds organize SaaS (availability zones, regions, etc.)? In essence, Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud are overlays on how public clouds work, so they inherit all the capabilities of the cloud. How much do Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud services cost in the cloud? What are the various ways you can buy Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud? Varies based on the offerings or architectures.Examples:Red Hat Hybrid CloudVMware Hybrid CloudAWS Hybrid CloudAzure Multi and Hybrid CloudGoogle Hybrid and Multicloud SUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwiter: @cloudcastbasics

SHOW: Season 1, Show 7OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.  What does SaaS mean in the cloud? The cloud manages the entire application and data, and the “end-users” just consume or interact with the application. How are SaaS services allocated? Typically by # of end-users, although it could be interacting with the overall service. How were SaaS services allocated before cloud computing? Some companies had “centralized IT services”, but nothing like this really existed before SaaS.What does the cloud computing provider do with a SaaS offering (responsibilities vs. customer responsibilities? Cloud provider (or SaaS provider) is responsible for everything about running the application (security, data, scaling, etc.)Why are there so many variations of SaaS? Because of aspect of business and consumer services is now software, so SaaS can be applied to almost anything. Does it matter where the SaaS is located? How do clouds organize SaaS (availability zones, regions, etc.)? Should be completely agnostic to the end-user, unless there are country-specific rules about where data is stored. The SaaS should manage that as well.  How much do SaaS services cost in the cloud? What are the various ways you can buy SaaS? Examples:StipeTwilioZoomTurboTaxSalesforceGmailWorkdaySpotifySUBSCRIBE: Please subscribe anywhere you get podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.).CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwLEARNING CLOUD COMPUTING:Here are some great places to begin your cloud journey, if you're interested in getting hands-on experience with the technology, or you'd like to build your skills towards a certification. CBT Nuggets - Training and CertificationsA Cloud Guru - Training and CertificationsCloud Academy - Training and CertificationsKatakoda - Self-Paced, Interactive LearningGitHub - Code Samples and CollaborationFEEDBACK?Web: Cloudcast Basics Email: show at cloudcastbasics dot netTwitter: @cloudcastbasics

Developers write code and push it to production. Operations is managed by the platform. Simple way to get to all the services an application needs (database, queues, load-balancing, high availability, authentication, etc.)How are PaaS services allocated? Typically by application, or volume of consumption (memory usage, # of transactions, etc.)How were PaaS services allocated before cloud computing? Manually. Developers often had to know about infrastructure, security, availability, etc.What does the cloud computing provider do with a PaaS offering (responsibilities vs. customer responsibilities? Lots of variety, depending on the serviceWhy are there so many variations of PaaS and Application Services? Evolution of understanding developer needs - how “opinionated” to be vs. giving developers more granular control.Does it matter where the PaaS is located? How do clouds organize PaaS (availability zones, regions, etc.)? Usually most of this is hidden, beyond the geographic region. How much do PaaS services cost in the cloud?

Brian Gracely On LinkedIn The Cloudcast Podcast The Cloudcast Video Channel WARNING — AI Transcriptions May Cause Grammatically Correct People Serious Stress Brian Gracely 1:09 Thanks for having me on Nathaniel really appreciate it this morning. Nathaniel Schooler 1:29 My pleasure. So I've got a couple of topics that I mentioned before, and I'm still confused and I think many people are actually about the difference between digitalization, which is one of the topics and digital transformation. So I think we'll, we'll sort of kick off by talking about digitalization first, if that's all right, with you? Brian Gracely 1:52 Yeah, sure. So, the terms can kind of sometimes get interchanged or get "buzzwordy" and they get confusing, but I think in the simplest sense, the way that I think about digitization is essentially the process of taking something that let's say, it's in the context of business, something that used to be very physical based, so going to a store or something that was, location based. Hailing a cab or something like that, and figuring out, okay, how do I, number one, make that a digital experience? Something that I can interact with, say, over the Internet, for example. But more importantly, how do we make it something that can be personalized, and we can learn from that process. So let's take it let's take a simple example. So if I was in London, and I wanted to hail a cab, you know, in the past, the cab sort of had full control over what that experience was, as the end user, you know, the person writing the car, I didn't really know when they're going to show up, I didn't really know what the fair was going to be. They didn't know who I was, there was no sort of loyalty to any cab company specifically. Now what's happened is, you know, because I have, essentially the internet in my pocket on your smartphone, and I have a service. So something like Lyft, or Uber or any of the other services out there, that process of hailing a cab is now become digitized, because I have visibility of where they are. So I have a sense of how long it's going to take? Do I stand out in the rain? Do I not stand in the rain? They know, I can look at who the who the driver is, so I can get a sense of how trustworthy they are? Do you know do I want to deal with them? Have other people thought they were good, good driver? But all of that has now become a digitized experience. And so you can begin to wrap a bunch of other things around that experience loyalty to a service, an understanding of who the driver is, the location of where the car is. And then that begins the process of:- "Well, okay, what what more could happen beyond that?" Well, you know, basic things start to happen, you know, it's raining, or the traffic is bad, and you go, I'd like to build a communicate with that person, maybe I moved from where I originally started, because it was raining, I moved down the street to to the next corner, I want to be able to text that person or call that person. And so we've taken something that was very physical and location based before we've turned it into something that becomes digitized, ie, we put the internet between your business and the person and all these other new interesting services, customizations, kind of spring out of that. So to me, that's one example of what what digitization mig...

Kubernetes is an open source container management system. Kubernetes is sometimes described as “the Linux of distributed systems” and this description makes sense: the large numbers of users and contributors in the Kubernetes community is comparable to the volume of Linux adopters in its early days. There are many different distributions of Linux: Ubuntu, Red The post Kubernetes Distributions with Brian Gracely and Michael Hausenblas appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

New to Kubernetes? Already a pro? In both cases, tune in to this episode, as we have something for both sides of the aisle.Kubernetes seems to have won the container orchestration game. Major cloud and PaaS vendors are supporting Kubernetes, and attendance at KubeCon in Dec 2017 skyrocketed. Today we chat with Brian Gracely ( https://twitter.com/bgracely ), Director of Strategy at Red Hat. Brian also co-hosts @PodCTL ( https://twitter.com/PodCTL ) – a podcast dedicated to containers, OpenShift, Kubernetes, and Cloud Native. In our chat we learn where and what Kubernetes is right now, where its heading (e.g: providing better onboard experience with developers, more APIs …), why we have to pay attention to Service Mesh ( http://philcalcado.com/2017/08/03/pattern_service_mesh.html ), and why it is important to have a good cross technology monitoring strategy that supports both your brown field legacy services as well as the green field cloud native. We also enlighten you about what the BWI (Brian Wilson Indicator) is!

Check out Coté's summary of a recent Brian Gracely post on the OpenShift momentum (https://cote.io/2017/05/01/red-hat-openshift-momentum-highlights/). Cloud Rules Everything Around Me As summarized by Derrick (http://news.architecht.io/issues/architecht-daily-it-s-earnings-and-ipo-season-for-cloud-and-cloudera-55782) (via CNBC (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/27/microsoft-azure-growing-faster-than-aws-google-cloud-behind.html): AWS brought in $3.66 billion in revenue, which was up 42 percent from last year. However, year-over-year growth dropped from last year’s first quarter. Microsoft’s “Intelligent Cloud” unit, which includes Azure, grew 11 percent, to $6.8 billion. Microsoft doesn’t break out Azure revenue specifically, but said Azure saw a 93 percent increase in revenue over last year. Google Cloud is buried somewhere in “Other Bets” on Alphabet earnings, a segment that grew 50 percent to $3.1 billion. What’s the Halo Effect on this? It’s easy to blame the big vendors for shying away from public cloud but it was some scary shit, business-case wise, back in 2008.

How Many Data Centers Needed World-Wide Link (http://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2017/04/how-many-data-centers-needed-world-wide/) Deep cut from James Hamilton, AWS Datacenter guru Re: Oracle “if you assume the big three are spending roughly equally, how can $1.7B compete with more than $10B when it comes to serving customers?” “2+1 redundancy is cheaper than 1+1 and, when there are 3 facilities, a single facility can experience a fault without eliminating all redundancy from the system. Consequently, whenever AWS goes into a new region, it’s usual that three new facilities be opened rather than just one with some racks on different power domains.” “latency is not the prime driver of very large numbers of regions” “being close to population centers and major communications hubs matters to most operators more than cooling costs” Canonical/Ubuntu priorities Link (https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/04/05/growing-ubuntu-for-cloud-and-iot-rather-than-phone-and-convergence/) Dropping Unity desktop and phone stuff in favor of desktop, cloud & IOT BrickerBot Bricks Unsecured IOT Devices Link (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-malware-intentionally-bricks-iot-devices/) “BrickerBot the work of a vigilante?” OmniTI Shutting Down OmniOS Development Link (https://lists.omniti.com/pipermail/omnios-discuss/2017-April/008699.html) Open source Solaris-compatible clone “OmniTI will be suspending active development of OmniOS” Apple makes GarageBand, iMovie and iWork free Link (http://www.theverge.com/2017/4/18/15344834/apple-free-apps-garageband-imovie-pages-keynote-numbers) MacOS and IOS!
