We needed to find somebody who could clearly explain what the Cisco/Google partnership is really all about, and man, did we hit the jackpot! Pete Johnson has been in on that project for a while now, and he does a terrific job of spelling out exactly why Cisco partnered with Google, what kind of customer is ideal for the Early Access Program, and how the technologies within the larger solution work to benefit both developers and IT Ops teams.

In this episode, (conducted from an exceedingly warm little podcast booth at Cisco Live Barcelona), Jeremy explains what Cisco Container Platform is, how it works, why Cisco developed it, what role it plays in the Cisco/Google partnership, and what's coming next as we look down the road.

Sure, there’s something wrong with all those chips, but what exactly is it? More importantly, how would you exploit it and protect yourself from it. This week, we talk about All The Great Chip Problems. And we also discuss some recent IT spending and forecasts, including survey results going over public versus private cloud deployments. There’s also some home automation (IoT!) talk, namely, Coté needs to find the problem this great solution solves.

The Register (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/02/intel_cpu_design_flaw/) coverage (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/02/intel_cpu_design_flaw/), lots of gobbly-gook. TPM estimates (https://www.nextplatform.com/2018/01/08/cost-spectre-meltdown-server-taxes/) cost to IT departments to deal with it. Suspicious stock sale (http://money.cnn.com/2018/01/04/technology/business/brian-krzanich-intel-shares/index.html?__s=zr4eixsppawhzbionuu9), or maybe he just needed a new winter home. What are people doing with exploits? More IT spending in 2018, public cloud use growing 451 and IDC have some cloud forecast numbers out. Ent. software growth. Trad’l IT shrinking, but not too fast 451 days private cloud still the winner, but barely. 451 tracks by survey (https://blogs.the451group.com/techdeals/infrastructure-software/complexity-bolsters-valuations-for-infrastructure-software/) with plans to put workloads across the different types of infrastructure: https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_EF670144310531D7873957CB4E18505EF5DF967F587843FC89C0EE55E5BFF033_1516203990094_image.png PaaS in not included (see a recent round-up of PaaS market-sizings (https://diginomica.com/2018/01/17/paas-business-case-higher-level-cloud-services-delivers-roi-competitive-advantage/), tho), but for 2019: public cloud totals ~37% (or 46.3% if you included hosted), private cloud 53.6% IDC’s tracks hardware spend (https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS43508918): https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_EF670144310531D7873957CB4E18505EF5DF967F587843FC89C0EE55E5BFF033_1516204083806_image.png Meanwhile, an analyst says Azure had a gain on AWS in Q4 (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/12/amazon-lost-cloud-market-share-to-microsoft-in-the-fourth-quarter-keybanc.html): “Amazon Web Services had 62 percent market share in the quarter, down from 68 percent a year earlier, KeyBanc's Brent Bracelin and other analysts wrote in a note on Thursday. Microsoft Azure jumped from 16 percent to 20 percent, and Google's share increased from 10 percent to 12 percent, they said.” Also, more spending forecasts from Gartner (https://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3845563): https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_EF670144310531D7873957CB4E18505EF5DF967F587843FC89C0EE55E5BFF033_1516204339433_image.png The move to SaaS continuing: “Organizations are expected to increase spending on enterprise application software in 2018, with more of the budget shifting to software as a service (SaaS). The growing availability of SaaS-based solutions is encouraging new adoption and spending across many subcategories, such as financial management systems (FMS), human capital management (HCM) and analytic applications (https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/analyst-answers-the-biggest-challenges-for-data-analytics-leaders-today/).” Really, doesn’t that make the most sense for where to spend most of your priority? Clears out the under-brush. Perhaps there should be a split between “innovation” (customer IT) and “keep the lights on.” I often think bi-modal got lost in that distinction. Hey, that sounds like Big Data! ‘"Looking at some of the key areas driving spending over the next few years, Gartner forecasts $2.9 trillion in new business value opportunities (https://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3837763) attributable to AI by 2021, as well as the ability to recover 6.2 billion hours of worker productivity," said Mr. Lovelock. "That business value is attributable to using AI to, for example, drive efficiency gains, create insights that personalize the customer experience, entice engagement and commerce, and aid in expanding revenue-generating opportunities as part of new business models driven by the insights from data."’ 451’s surveys show more IT spending too (https://blogs.the451group.com/techdeals/investment-banking/every-reason-to-shop-yet-tech-companies-still-empty-handed/): “fully 50% of the 872 respondents said their company is giving a ‘green light’ for IT spending. That was the highest reading since 2007, and 13 basis points higher than the average survey response for the month of November for the previous five years” The exciting world of monitoringobservability With Loggly, SolarWinds scoops up another log service (https://451research.com/report-short?entityId=94096): “With the acquisition of Loggly, SolarWinds obtains an asset that was slow in getting started but has hit a patch of growth recently. As of September, we believe the company was on track to finish 2017 with roughly $10m in billings, up from mid-single digits in 2016. Founded in 2009 with a mission of offering a SaaS-based, easy-to-use logging product with helpful visualizations built using advanced analytics, Loggly had raised $47m in venture capital, including a $11.5m series D round in June 2016.” They estimate ~3,000 paying customers. Microsoft gets serious about monitoring (https://451research.com/report-short?entityid=94076&type=mis&alertid=975&contactid=0033200001wgkckaa2), pulling together it’s different things Nancy at 451 reports: “Microsoft's vision is to deliver tools that can offer a holistic view of services to application architects looking to optimize their software; performance information and debugging capabilities for DevOps and ops pros; insight into KPIs for executives; and information about customer usage to product owners. Microsoft doesn't yet have a cohesive offering for all of the above, but it has the pieces to enable it and has begun delivering on some integrations across products.” You may recall that Datadog acquired Logmatic.io back in the Fall (https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/datadog-acquires-logmatic-io/). Relevant to your interests Annual Letter from Planet Earth (https://www.l2inc.com/daily-insights/no-mercy-no-malice/annual-letter-from-planet-earth), Scott Galloway: a pretty good moral tent-pole for tech. Feel like a little kid in the container world? Welcome to the club (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/08/container_shock_not_everybody_is_doing_it/): “industry adoption more accurately reflected in 451 Research's survey data that pegs adoption at 27 per cent. Of those 27 per cent of enterprises that have container religion, just 52 per cent are running containers in production, according to the same survey. In other words, a mere 13.5 per cent (or so) of enterprises are running containers in production.” Finally, an explanation of that Cisco/Google partnership (https://451research.com/report-short?alertid=975&contactid=0033200001wgkckaa2&entityid=94056&type=mis): “CloudCenter is key to the hybrid cloud partnership that Cisco and Google recently announced, where CloudCenter will be used to integrate Google Cloud Platform services with on-premises datacenters. The integrated offering includes Cisco's Hyperflex hyperconverged infrastructure and Nexus 9k networking. Cisco is also leveraging its networking (CSR) and security (Stealthwatch Cloud) portfolio to ensure a consistent environment across the hybrid cloud. Google's Kubernetes container runtime uses Apigee to consume and manage APIs, as well as Google's range of cloud services, including machine learning and visual recognition. The open source Istio service management platform is key to the offering, supported in CloudCenter, providing traffic management, observability, policy enforcement and service identity and security for microservices. There will also be integrations to AppDynamics. Solution engineering efforts are underway, and Cisco and Google are working on predefined statements of work that can be executed by both companies' direct sales teams and by the partner channels. The joint offering will be fully supported by the Cisco Technical Assistance Center. The Cisco-Google partnership on hybrid cloud is non-exclusive, but Google is working closely with Cisco on the joint engineering work around open hybrid cloud.” Taking Stock of Cloud Application Platforms (http://rishidot.com/krishnan/platforms/taking-stock-of-application-platforms/): basically, he expects it to all go kubernetes. See also this developer-oriented comparison of Pivotal Cloud Foundry and kubernetes (https://medium.com/@odedia/comparing-kubernetes-to-pivotal-cloud-foundry-a-developers-perspective-6d40a911f257). IBM combining GBS and GTS (https://siliconangle.com/blog/2018/01/15/report-ibm-combine-gbs-gts-units-single-business-called-ibm-services/). This means consulting/outsourcing and hosting, right? Lots of staff shifting and lay-offs, as The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/15/ibm_rebrands_services_businesses_as_ibm_services/) reported (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/15/ibm_rebrands_services_businesses_as_ibm_services/). Dropbox to IPO (https://thehustle.co/dropbox-IPO/) - “doing over $1B in annualized sales and are cash flow positive,” well with some added nuance (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-11/dropbox-is-said-to-file-confidentially-for-initial-offering): “[i]t’s also been profitable, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “ $10bn valuation, they say.

This week, if you can stand it, we talk about why kubernetes won (no solid conclusions are reached), the announcement around Cisco and Google, and IBM’s new private cloud stack, “IBM Cloud Private.” This week’s exegesis The Corporate Podcast, plus EBC’ing - sign-up and listen (https://www.patreon.com/posts/corporate-ebcing-15181785)! Last week we looked at The Lone Wolf Analyst, by way of Ben Thompson (https://www.patreon.com/posts/lone-wolf-15073204). This week in kubernetes Why did kubernetes win? (Nerds like to tinker, Google brand? Did the rest of us just need to buy more native advertising in The New Stack?) Cisco and Google https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_209EE5C7BA94C1300EA3F28BFEF5BA18054817A141C02AC7895880D0A1E4AA6D_1509630972019_image.png Not really sure what this Cisco/Google thing i (https://www.enterprisetech.com/2017/10/25/cisco-google-join-forces-hybrid-cloud/)s. What does Cisco bring to the table? “Cisco's HyperFlex platform that includes management tools to enforce security and other policies as applications and services are released with greater frequency.” Private cloud bundling of kubernetes, Istio, all the great cloud natives. "This is what we hear customers ask for," Diane Greene. Big picture: what’s Google’s goal here? Is it really as simple as “on-ramp?” Even bigger picture: how did it kubernetes win? IBM’s private cloud stack https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_209EE5C7BA94C1300EA3F28BFEF5BA18054817A141C02AC7895880D0A1E4AA6D_1509643774051_image.png So, is the “Blue Mix” brand out the mix? IBM page (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/W1559b1be149d_43b0_881e_9783f38faaff/page/Overview%20of%20IBM%20Cloud%20Private): “Overview of IBM Cloud Private.” Another announcement overview (https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=897/ENUS217-466&appname=USN). “Is built on the latest versions of Kubernetes and Docker” - what that (https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=897/ENUS217-466&appname=USN) mean? Jeffrey Burt (https://www.nextplatform.com/2017/11/01/ibm-builds-private-cloud-stack-kubernetes-containers/): “IBM Cloud Private can run on a variety of infrastructures, including the vendor’s own mainframe and Power systems, its hyperconverged infrastructure that runs Nutanix software, and IBM Storage’s Spectrum Access solution. In addition, it can run on systems from Dell EMC, Lenovo, Cisco Systems and NetApp, and can be deployed by such VMware, Canonical and other OpenStack distributions as well as bare-metal systems. The private cloud platform also includes such developer services for data analytics as Db2, Db2 Warehouse, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, developer tools like Netcool, UrbanCode, and Cloud Brokerage and open-source management software such as Jenkins, Prometheus, Grafana, and ElasticSearch.” Chris Mellor, (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/01/ibms_containerised_cloud_private/) The Register (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/01/ibms_containerised_cloud_private/): All the great middleware now in (Docker) containers: “IBM has provided containerised versions of WebSphere Liberty and Open Liberty, MQ, and DB2, plus Microservice Builder as software bundle components. For example, Cloud Private for Application Modernization provides Cloud Private capabilities plus WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, MQ Advanced, API Connect Professional, DB2 Direct Advanced and Urban Code Deploy.” Value-prop’in! “The standout aim is to help legacy apps transition to a more cloud-native style of construction and operation so that they can run inside a public cloud-like environment on-premises – private cloud – and connect to and/or be integrated with public clouds in some fashion. The destination in IBM's view, of the evolution of legacy apps is the hybrid cloud with private cloud as a stepping stone.” The white papers also mention “regulated industries” and the like. Goin’ for that enterprise cloud, hey, boy. Also: Coté’s highlights (https://cote.io/2017/11/01/ibms-new-private-cloud-stack-its-got-the-kubernetes-containers/), brief coverage from Tom Krazit at GeekWire (https://www.geekwire.com/2017/ibm-launches-new-version-private-cloud-built-kubernetes-support/). An oral history of “bursting”: from 2010 to 2017. Congress now follows you Kind of a dick move to not send the CEOs (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/01/facebook_twitter_google_senate_russia/). Holy Shit! “Revealing exactly what was smeared all over the internet during the 2016 elections would, we reckon, be like opening Pandora's box: it would allow citizens to join the dots between Kremlin-crafted lies, the gradual acceptance of those lies online, the discussion and even promotion of said lies on mainstream news networks, resulting in, presumably, dozens of clips of senators responding with indignation about made-up information. In short, everyone is going to look like a chump if it turns out everything argued over last year was based on nothing but Kremlin-devised myths and urban legends. Rumors, in other words, designed to destabilize American politics and perhaps install a preferred candidate in the White House.” Looks like my rep has been keeping up on Ben Thompson: ‘Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) asked: "Why should you be treated any differently to the press?" All three California outfits responded with a version of the fact that they are "platforms" and not publishers, that their content is user-created, and that they protect people's right to free speech and expression. Cornyn made it clear he was not persuaded. "They may be a distinction lost on most of us," he said.’ Speaking of (https://stratechery.com/2017/tech-goes-to-washington/)…Ben nails the analysis: “Facebook served [an estimated] 276 million unique ads per quarter, and my entire point was the same as Kennedy’s: there is no way that Facebook could ever review every ad, much less investigate who is behind them, without completely ruining their revenue model.” ‘What this hearing highlighted, though, is the degree to which the position of Facebook in particular has become more tenuous. The fact of the matter is that Facebook (and Google) is more powerful than any entity we have seen before. Magnifying the problem is that, over the last year, Facebook has decided to “take responsibility”, and what is that but a commitment to exercise their control over what people see?’ Tech industry doesn’t think/care about the effects of their products https://twitter.com/kumailn/status/925828976882282496 BONUS LINKS!

Cisco schließt kritische Sicherheitslücken im IOS-Betriebssystem In Ciscos Internet Work Operating System Software IOS und IOS-XE klaffen mehr als ein Dutzend Schwachstellen. Davon gelten drei Lücken als besonders kritisch. Setzen Angreifer an diesen an, sollen sie mit vergleichsweise wenig Aufwand Geräte übernehmen können. Wer Geräte mit den Systemen hat, sollte zügig die jetzt verfügbaren Sicherheitsupdates installieren. Das wissen wir über die neuen Google-Handys In der kommenden Woche will Google zwei neue Android-Handys vorstellen. Schon jetzt wissen wir einiges über Pixel 2 und Pixel 2 XL. Aus Dokumenten der US-Behörde FCC geht hervor, dass zumindest die Standard-Fassung des Pixel 2 einen drückbaren Rahmen haben wird. Wenn der Nutzer das Handy quetscht, ruft er den Google Assistant auf. Beide Pixel-Smartphones dürften mit der neuesten Android-Version ausgestattet sein, möglicherweise dem noch nicht vorgestellten Android 8.1. Auch die Kameras werden wohl wieder zu den besten am Markt gehören. Ein Kopfhöreranschluss fällt voraussichtlich bei beiden weg. Europa-Parlament entzieht Monsanto den Lobby-Zugang Nachdem der US-Saatkonzern Monsanto sich weigerte, an einer Anhörung teilzunehmen, entzieht das Europäische Parlament ihm den Lobbyzugang. Ein Konzernvertreter begründete sein Fernbleiben damit, dass die Anhörung kein "angemessenes Forum" sei, um Fragen zur Zulassung des Pestizids Glyphosat in der EU und den USA zu erörtern. Es ist das erste Mal, dass einem Unternehmen der Lobbyisten-Zugang zum Europaparlament entzogen wird. Auch Twitter findet Accounts mit Verbindung zu russischer Propaganda Bei der Aufarbeitung des Verdachts russischer Einmischung in den US-Wahlkampf stand Twitter bisher weniger im Fokus als Facebook. Jetzt fand auch der Kurznachrichten-Dienst rund 200 verdächtige Accounts. Twitter betonte zugleich, man unternehme massive Anstrengungen, um die Plattform sauber zu halten. Diese und alle weiteren aktuellen Nachrichten finden sie auf heise.de
