In this episode we are looking at the challenges AI technology faces when it comes to becoming, and then remaining sustainable.The benefits of AI are unquestionable: from improved medical assistance and increased efficiency in the workplace, to autonomous transportation and next-level gaming experiences. But the more expansive the abilities of AI become, the more data storage that's required. That data storage uses a lot of energy. In fact, it has been predicted that AI servers could be using more energy than a country the size of the Netherlands by 2030. For HPE Chief Technologist, Matt Armstrong-Barnes, the rate at which AI has grown in recent years has had an environmental impact, and he believes that's down to people rushing into training large language models without thinking about longevity, or the need for future change. And that, in turn, has led to data being stored that is no longer needed. The sustainability issue is something that is also a main focus of Arti Garg, Lead Sustainability & Edge Architect in the office of the CTO at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Like Matt, Arti has kept a keen eye on the exponential growth of AI data storage and the effect that is having on the environment, and agrees that the key to a more sustainable future is in how we train models. However, whilst training models well is important, the tech itself is a key component in more efficient AI. Shar Narasimhan is the director of product marketing for NVIDIA's data center GPU portfolio. He believes that a combination of openly available model optimisations and chipsets, CPUs, GPUs and intelligent data centers optimised for AI is a key piece of the puzzle in avoiding energy wastage, and making AI more sustainable all round.Sources and statistics cited in this episode:Global AI market prediction - https://www.statista.com/statistics/1365145/artificial-intelligence-market-size/#:~:text=Global%20artificial%20intelligence%20market%20size%202021%2D2030&text=According%20to%20Next%20Move%20Strategy,nearly%20two%20trillion%20U.S.%20dollars.AI could use as much energy as a small country report - https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(23)00365-3?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2542435123003653%3Fshowall%3DtrueIndustry responsible for 14% of earth's emissions - https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JICES-11-2021-0106/full/htmlNumber of AI startups - https://tracxn.com/d/explore/artificial-intelligence-startups-in-united-states/__8hhT66RA16YeZhW3QByF6cGkAjrM6ertfKJuKbQIiJg/companiesAI model energy use increase - https://openai.com/research/ai-and-computeEuropean Parliament report into AI energy usage - https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2021/662906/IPOL_STU(2021)662906_EN.pdf

The cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS) market consists of standardized, highly automated offerings in which infrastructure resources such as compute, networking, and storage are complemented by integrated platform services (managed application, database, and functions as-a-service offerings).Gartner predicts that by 2027, more than 50% of enterprises will use industry cloud platforms to accelerate their business initiatives. Industry cloud platforms enable a shift from generic solutions to platforms designed to fit the specifics of the user's industry.In the race to the cloud, organisations are discovering for themselves just how 'not simple' things are in the cloud. The near ease at which organisations can now connect to the cloud and acquire the resources they need to run the business also introduced new challenges including security, scalability, compatibility and interoperability, and compliance. And like creatures of habit, businesses want to be able to customise the cloud to suit their business objectives – further introducing complexity and additional costs.In this PodChats for FutureCIO, we are joined by Matthew Swinbourne, CTO Cloud Architecture for APAC at NetApp, to walk us through we can turn this growing cloud complexity into a competitive advantage1.       How have cloud architectures changed since 2020? What is/are driving this change?2.       When viewed from the perspective of operations and business, is there (among C-suite and operation leaders) an understanding of how this complexity will hit back on the organisation in general? a.       Who is best qualified to lead organisations out of this complexity?3.       What is the role of the CTO?4.       Why should CTOs care about how complex cloud architectures have/are become/becoming?a.       How should CTOs work with CIOs to realise the business goals? 5.       How can the CIO work with business and operations leaders ensure user buy-in and adoption of applications and processes?6.       Drawing from the NetApp study on complexity, what are your recommendations given your role as CTO?7.       How should leadership navigate the web of emerging technologies without losing sight of business goals and objectives?8.       AI – what have we achieved so far?9.       Single pane of glass – are we there yet?

Cloud architects have long wished for more flexibility in how memory is provisioned in servers, and CXL is finally delivering on a decade of promises. In this episode of Utilizing Tech, Stephen Foskett and Craig Rodgers talk to Dan Ernst of Microsoft, who is deeply involved in bringing CXL-attached memory to fruition within Azure. Dan was previously involved in the Gen-Z effort, and feels that CXL picks up the baton and brings valuable real-world benefits to cloud server architecture. Memory has a bigger impact on overall IT platforms than many are aware, and is already the costliest component in large servers. Per Amdahl's Law, it makes sense to look for cost savings in memory. And this is doubly the case because DIMMs only come in certain sizes so memory is usually over-specified. CXL memory modules cost a bit more than a DIMM, but this is offset by efficient right-sizing, and CXL is already cheaper than 3D stacked DIMMs. Hosts: Stephen Foskett: https://www.twitter.com/SFoskett Craig Rodgers: https://www.twitter.com/CraigRodgersms Guest Host: Dan Ernst, Principal Architect working on Future Azure Cloud Systems, Microsoft Azure https://www.linkedin.com/in/danernst/ Follow Gestalt IT and Utilizing Tech Website: https://www.UtilizingTech.com/ Website: https://www.GestaltIT.com/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/GestaltIT LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/1789 Tags: #CXL #DIMMs #Azure #UtilizingCXL @Microsoft @Azure

Since 1990, the global rates of extreme poverty have gone from around 40% to around 10%, and ending World Poverty entirely by 2030 is one of the UN's Key Sustainable Development Goals, announced in 2015. However, progress is slowing, and 710 million people around the world still live in extreme poverty - currently earning below $1.90 per day. So how can technology help? In this episode, we'll be meeting some of the people and organisations aiming to eradicate poverty through the use of technology.The power of connectivityOne of the most important ways in which rural economies can grow and become more efficient and productive is to get access to communications technology. Isabelle Mauro is the Head of Information, Communications & Technology (ICT) Industries at the World Economic Forum. The WEF is the world body bringing together the public and private sectors, and has been pushing for greater co-operation between the public sector and telecoms providers to work on lifting developing communities out of hunger and poverty. The results speak for themselves: Research suggests a 10% improvement in mobile connectivity can add 1.5% to a country's GDP. The challenge is to provide a financial incentive for companies and Governments to reach out to poorer areas where the business case for connection might not be so obvious.Harnessing complex skills and technology for unconnected communitiesOne of the firms leading the charge to bring rural communities into the digital age is Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Brian Tippens is their Head of sustainability, and has been working closely with WEF and partners around the world to enable remote and disconnected communities to take advantage of HPE's experience in data and connectivity - particularly in encouraging skills sharing and industrial expertise among NGOs and other bodies. At the core of their philanthropic ambitions, however, is to allow and enable local communities to help provide their own solutions to their own problems, encouraging long-term, sustainable and useful programs of change to emerge.Getting educatedOne of the ways in which communities can be enabled to develop their own long-term solutions is through education and upskilling the population to take advantage of the opportunities offered by technology. Leading that charge is the Micro:bit Educational Foundation, which provides expandable, programmable micro-computers to schools around the world, alongside locally-led educational programs and learning resources. Gareth Stockdale is the organisations CEO and tells us that the democratisation of technology through enabling local participation is key to lifting people out of poverty, providing pathways to future skilled careers, and to enabling self-sufficiency among remote or impoverished communities. Whether it's educating children or upskilling adults to make the most of opportunities in their community and work in collaboration with international organisations, there's plenty being done to help end world poverty by 2030. Will it be enough? Time will tell. But the appetite seems to be real for long-lasting change.Key takeaways: Even small improvements to digital connectivity can have a lasting impact on local and national economic growth and resilience. Most people have the potential to get connected, and doing so can drastically improve lives in remote communities. The best way to lift the world out of poverty is through public-private partnerships which enable and upskill communities to create their own solutions and take long-term advantage of new technologies. Western organisations have a responsibility not to parachute in solutions, but to work on the ground with communities to enable them to make best use of the technology on offer, through collaboration and education.

We're continuing our conversation on Modern Cloud. There are a couple of previous episodes: an overview of the CEO's perspective and an overview of Product's perspective. I figured we would look at the Developer perspective today. This ties in with our 'next best action' or 'bias for action' concept. Sometimes when you meet with developers, you don't know what's working or not. By mapping out the tech stack, it's easy to spot things that are in the wrong place. In the modern cloud, capabilities are evolving and merging rapidly. So mapping out your tech stack and understanding what's available in a modern cloud environment is very valuable. You can have a conversation with your teams on the components of the tech stack and see if there are more advanced modern cloud capabilities to take advantage of. Is there a managed service capability that can offload some of the burden in our tech stack? Can you leverage DynamoDB, step functions or some other evolved modern cloud capability to meet those needs? It's a cracking exercise to involve business or product people who don't understand the full value stream. Typically in organisations, investment is done at the UI or UX level. Perhaps they want to make a change but don't really understand the level of complexity that's involved. A map can be a vehicle for a conversation to get investment to replace a legacy part of the platform. With mapping, you can't change everything there and then, but you can plot a path. It's a good way to set goals, look for opportunities and work towards those goals. I like to do that very early with squads and look for opportunities for the year ahead. What areas need investment for modernization or to move up a level? It's a really good approach to have a joined up and holistic conversation. As well as having that conversation as a team, you're implicitly putting the concept of evolutionary architecture into everyone's head. In other words, it's okay to keep changing. There isn't a sunk cost fallacy where we hang on to something for years, because we built it. What you also need from your tech stack is rapid delivery. You want your engineers to deliver features into production quickly. There's lots of ways to do that. One way is by using decent developer patterns like CDK patterns. Composable building blocks are critical for rapid delivery. In the modern cloud with Product Leader needs and CEO needs, speed is key. You need proved patterns to compose your solution from. With the emergence of infrastructure as code, CDK, SAM and other infrastructure code capabilities, you can bring expertise and patterns to your teams to rapidly stand up solutions. For example a single page app pattern is a building block that can be deployed. Or an API gateway that connects to a new SQL database with step functions in the middle to do workflow. Pattern collections have exploded over the last couple of years. With modern cloud, you should be able to find a well proven pattern that you can leverage or customize to your needs. And you are rapidly delivering value. Sometimes people think rapid means poor quality! And if you're going to build with those patterns, then you need to build quality in! You actually need to start by having a high standard of technical excellence to make sure those patterns have quality attributes, in the first place. When you are talking about modern cloud, serverless, and leveraging managed services, a lot of things shift left. There's a lot of responsibility on the squad to assemble things to meet certain standards in the organisation. Building up squads is a huge aspect. You start off with the basics and get your observability set up which takes time, and you will go slow. But it's amazing, because after one or two months, you begin to see the philosophy creep in and before you know it you're ten times what you were at the start and you've got all the confidence in the world. The engineers are empowered and they're very creative. With continuous architecture you've got everything you need to confidently pivot and deliver rapidly. As a developer, you've got to invest in continuous education and continuous learning. We've benefited massively from following the right people on Twitter and subscribing to YouTube channels to watch videos as well. It pays dividends. If you have mapped your tech stack, have situational awareness and if you are leveraging modern cloud properly, you can apply the features that are being announced today. That is the differentiator for your team and for your business. You have happy developers! Nicole Forsgren describes it in her 'Accelerate' book: if you invest in your team to make them go fast and safely, then employee engagement shoots up. It's quite hard to explain because some people see it as money spent. But the business benefits at the other end. Serverless Craic from The Serverless Edge theserverlessedge.com @ServerlessEdge

Seneca College: Cloud Architecture and Administration Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news and I am Joy Stephen, an authorized Canadian Immigration practitioner bringing out this Education release from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. Today is the 19th of Mar, 2022. Education releases highlight opportunities for international students which a focus on course as well as resettlement opportunities for International students who is desirous of making Canada their future home. If you would like to do a 1-year certificate program after your schooling or bachelors, Cloud Architecture and Administration offered by Seneca College could provide you with knowledge and skills to become an essential part of a modern information technology (IT) team. You will learn how to effectively and securely integrate IT infrastructure, including cloud services, internet of things devices and traditional on-premises equipment. You will also develop an understanding of potential issues with privacy and the law and how to mitigate those risks according to the institution. International students who have completed their high school 12 years, also called Higher Secondary in some regions of the world or finished your bachelors could qualify for this program. They require a good score with a IELTS score requirement of around 6.5 in each band.Cloud Architecture and Administration is offered by Seneca College in Toronto, a large city in the province of Ontario, this institution offers several courses in multiple specialties from its multiple locations around Greater Toronto Authority. This program offers tremendous employment opportunities and offers good Canadian Permanent Residence pathways. In addition to selecting the right course, we recommend students to also learn and understand Settlement pathways for students under the various Immigration Programs, both federal and provincial. Please visit the Canadian government Immigration website at Canada.ca and the Provincial website ontario.ca to learn of immigration pathways for settlement. Students must remember that the number of temporary residents in Canada far exceeds Canadian permanent residents' annual quotas. Therefore, targeting the Canadian Experience Class of the PR pathway may not be enough. We encourage students to have a backup of Immigration programs depending on the province or location of the educational institution. If you have any questions, please get them answered at the FREE Zoom event every Fridays, times and credentials posted on my screen Be brilliant students and target colleges or universities for Canadian Permanent Residence. If you currently have work experience want to learn more about Permanent Residence pathways for students, please attend the FREE on Demand webinar by following this link on my screen https://polinsys.com/p and selecting the 4th On-demand webinar, “Education pathway for Students. Once you observe that webinar, and if you have any doubts, you can always come and get your immigration questions answered in the Live Zoom event every Friday! The Image on my screen shows the time and the Zoom link. This way, you can study in an area where Canadian Permanent Residence may be a little easier. Good luck to all of you, and I hope to see some of you in Canada soon!

We wrap up our patterns focus with the space-based pattern.  This is also known as cloud architecture.  We will see how this approach allows us to break out the solution into components suited for scaling.  We solve the problem of scalability in architecture instead of tools. The Space-Based Pattern Defined We have often seen layers in our architecture discussions.  Similarly, this pattern breaks out each layer into many workers.  Therefore, it is described as a collection of grids.  First, we have processing units that do the bulk of the work.  We then have a virtual middleware composed of messaging, data, processing grids, and a deployment manager. Applying The Pattern We see in the above list of components that each step of functionality in an application is broken out.  However, the critical piece is the processing unit.  There is often a bottleneck somewhere among the layers.  We avoid that by replicating the entire solution across processing units in this approach.  Then we can laterally scale out the solution by adding more units. This solution may seem obvious and straightforward.  However, keeping those processing units in sync requires overhead.  We are replicating data and code.  Thus, breaking the reliance on a single database or store.  That often is the limiting factor that we are now getting away from. Challenges Synchronizing the components is the hardest part of the space-based pattern.  Each piece needs to fulfill the requirements for the solution and "know" the current state.  Of course, a stateless solution makes this a breeze.  However, that would essentially be a microservices architecture.  This approach needs more information to provide the necessary services.  Nevertheless, this also is a solution that tends to be perfect for high availability.  When you have units shut down, you launch more to recover from those downed components.

What happens if you put two Enterprise Cloud Architects into a conversation ... you are right ... they create the next episode of GeekSprech[EN]. This time talking with Dennis Schoone about Cloud Architecture and Cloud Governance and the importance of having a plan and staying flexible in your Cloud Journey.

In this podcast, Tara Griffin, Director of Strategic Solution Sales at Genesys describes the flexibility multi-cloud architecture brings to businesses, allowing them to tailor their infrastructure, deployment and management models to fit their business. 

This is the Internet Report, where we uncover what's working and what's breaking on the Internet—and why. On this week's episode, we cover a widespread T-Mobile outage that took down its cellular network for several hours and elicited a rare condemnation from the FCC. The culprit, according to the carrier, was a fiber cut—highlighting the need for redundancy and resiliency in the nation's cellular networks. We also cover an issue with What's App's privacy settings that sent users scrambling to Twitter, as well as a recent move by Russia to “un-ban” the messenger app, Telegram. Then, stay tuned as we go one-on-one with Jason Black, the Head of Global Network Infrastructure at Uber Technologies, to discuss how Uber approaches its cloud architecture.
