In this Breaking Analysis, Dave Vellante, chief analyst at theCUBE Research, reviews the changes Microsoft made to its financial reporting with a special focus on Azure impacts. He shares how it affects the cloud data and gives his thoughts on Microsoft's AI reporting.Follow theCUBE's live event coverage https://www.thecube.net/Microsoft recently updated its Azure financial reporting, aligning with AWS to better reflect consumption-based revenue, which led to increased growth rates but lowered overall revenue due to the removal of slower-growth segments such as enterprise mobility and security and Power BI per-user pricing. For daily news for CIOs, check out our parent publication at https://siliconangle.com/AI services now contribute significantly to Azure's growth, with up to 11% in the most recent quarter, driving investor confidence. However, this change also highlights that Azure's market share had been overstated in prior reports. As Microsoft positions itself as a leader in AI, this shift is expected to push competitors to disclose their AI revenue, intensifying market competition.Read the full article https://siliconangle.com/2024/10/16/microsofts-financial-disclosures-reveal-azures-market-position/Be sure to follow Dave's weekly Breaking Analysis podcast as well, for the deep data dives on enterprise computing trends, from spending patterns to Wall Street implications.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLenh213llmcZMTRZKjnAwesSCiuLQT21E#theCUBE #BreakingAnalysis #theCUBEResearch #MicrosoftAzure #AI #EMS #AIRevenue

Before diving into today's discussion, tell us a little about your background.Topic 2 - We last talked about Grafana back in 2019 and 2020. Observability continues to be a hot topic, how are you seeing the open-source community and open-source tools evolve in this space?Topic 3 - We always hear about Grafana as a visualization tool. Grafana AND something (Grafana and Prometheus, Grafana and (insert logging/observability tool here). Is that still a fair assessment? Where does Grafana fit in a modern cloud-native observability stack these days?Topic 4 - When you are speaking to folks out there, where does the data visualization story resonate the most in the organization, and does it become at times political and cultural (meaning cultural changes need to happen)? There can be an ROI/Business case to be made; developers integrations that will need to happen, SRE operations changes, etc. How do you get something that likely spans many different parts of the organization on board?Topic 5 - Anytime I think about observability I think in two stages. Identification of the problem and resolution of the problem. Some tools address one or the other, and some attempt to do both. Where does Grafana fit on this continuum?Topic 6 - I have to ask the AI question. How has AI changed or in your opinion will change observability and visualization in the near future?Topic 7 - You've literally written the book on Grafana so this is a softball question. For those who are interested, how would you recommend they get started with GrafanaFEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

Before we dive into today's discussion, tell us a little bit about your background.Topic 2 - Our topic today is the validation and accuracy of AI with guardrails. Let's start with the why… Why do we need guardrails for LLMs today?Topic 3 - Where and how do you control (maybe validate is a better word) outputs from LLM's today? What are your thoughts on the best way to validate outputs?Topic 4 - Will this workflow work with both closed-source (ChatGPT) and opensource (Llama2) models? Would this process apply to training/fine-tuning or more for inference? Would this potentially replace humans in the loop that we see today or is this completely different?Topic 5 - What are some of the most common early use cases and practical examples? PII detection comes to mind, violation of ethics or laws, off-topic/out of scope, or simply just something the model isn't designed to provide?Topic 6 - What happens if it fails? Does this create a loop scenario to try again?Topic 7 - Let's talk about Guardrails AI specifically. Today you offer an open-source marketplace of Validators in the Guardrails Hub, correct? As we mentioned earlier, almost everyone's implementation and guardrails they want to implement will be different. Is the best way to think about this as building blocks using validators that are pieced together?  Tell everyone a little bit about the offeringFEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

Topic 3 - You've lived through the API marketplace days. Do you see a lot of differences between API marketplaces and model marketplaces (e.g. like HuggingFace)?Topic 4 - You've talked recently about the concept of an AI Gateway, somewhat as an evolution of an API Gateway. Walk us through this new concept.Topic 5 - API Gateways can provide a lot of protection for known things by looking into various headers, security keys, and packet data. Can you imagine AI Gateways being able to have insights into model data to do things like Prompt Control, Hallucination Control, etc.?Topic 6 - We've seen the merging of API Gateways (North/South) and Service Mesh (East/West) traffic as new application patterns emerged. Do you think we'll see new traffic patterns again with AI traffic and AI model interactions? FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

What problem is it trying to solve?Topic 3 - I would think there is a trade off between time and resources to get to a customer issue vs. the value of that insight. How does an organization weigh the opportunity cost? How do you keep the insights generated from being overwhelmingTopic 4 - Let's move from the concept to practical. Where is the data in most organizations today that will yield results and solve problems? How would you suggest folks get started and what use case are they likely to implement first? Is this data that humans either can't or won't get too because it is an enormous amount or maybe too tedious to pay for?Topic 5 - How does all of this work under the hood? Is this one model or multiple models working in parallel? Is there a framework for the operations and lifecycle managed by an organization?Topic 6 - Let's talk about what it takes to get an LLM into production. The the rise of LLM's and foundational models such as Llama2, there is an interest for organizations to use LLM's, but going from concept to production still has a high barrier to entry. It's easy to download a model, it's much harder to either fine-tune it or set up RAG with a vector database for your specific use case.

We last spoke two years ago. A lot has changed so we thought it would be a great time to talk about updates. For those that aren't familiar, give everyone a quick background.Topic 2 - Let's start with when we last spoke. We talked a lot about data scientists and how data labeling works for training LLM's. For those that aren't familiar, can you give everyone a quick intro to data labeling and why it is important for training?Topic 3 - When we last spoke, LLM weren't as mainstream as they are today. How has this impacted how you think about AI/ML in general? What are the big challenges for LLM today that you see?Topic 4 - Many organizations are trying “off the shelf” models but this may or may not be a good idea. On one side they don't have to build a model but on the other they still have to fine tune it to their specific needs and use case. What are your recommendations for organizations to get started and be as effective as possible?Topic 5 - In addition to organization specific models, are teams building purpose built models for specific functions (i.e. are they running multiple models each with a different task?) How does labeling and training come into play here?Topic 6 - Another challenge I'm seeing is security and data privacy concerns.

Tell us a little bit about your background. What made you join Vanta and did your experience at Dropbox factor into this decision?Topic 2 - Our topic today is developer security and compliance. Let's start by helping our listeners understand the problem. We hear all the time about developers wanting to go fast. Things like security and compliance can be an afterthought. Do you agree and is this the root of the problem or is it something else?Topic 3 - Most organizations, especially smaller orgs or startups just getting going, they just want to get to MVP, what advice to you have for them in building security and compliance into their CI/CD pipelines so this becomes more programmatic?Topic 4 - Security is certainly one angle, but probably just as important, if not more so is compliance. To make it slightly more difficult, compliance can mean many different things based on geography (SOC in US for instance). How do organizations staff for this and keep up with regulation changes? Or, maybe on the flip side, is this a common area where they are understaffed and need outside assistance?Topic 5 - In security and compliance worlds there is often the concept of identification and discovery as one part, but remediation as the second part. Where and how does Vanta work with organizations to solve for both vectors?Topic 6 - Automation, especially into CI/CD pipelines seems like a no-brainer here, but I would also add is this an area where AI/ML will come into play in the future?Topic 7 - If folks want to dig in and learn more, how do you suggest they get started?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet

Can we quantify it instead of just making it emotional?How long do we need to live with the alternative, potentially in parallel?What's the learning curve? Can you re-training the user-base?How do you migrate data? How much data will you lose? How do you know if this will be successful when you start the modernization?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet

Tell us a little bit about your backgrounds, Topic 2 - We've spoken several times on the show about tools to control cloud cost management, but we don't spend much time talking about the process of how companies decide it's time to make it a focus area. Let's talk about what thresholds tend to trigger customers to make cost management a focus area. Topic 3 -  Is cost management something that companies can think about ahead of time, or do they usually need to get past the excitement of being able to do things dynamically in the cloud first? Topic 4 - Do you find that there are unique things in different clouds that customers should focus on around cost management? For example, you spend a lot of time with Google Cloud. Topic 5 - Can you tell us some more about DoIT Flexsave, and maybe how it differs from some of the other types of cloud cost management tools out there? Are there typical savings that companies might expect to see? Topic 6 - What are some of the best practices that DoIT uses with customers that are at different stages of cloud cost management, and want to get their bill under control?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet
