There are many lessons to be learned by watching what the big brands are doing with video and other marketing tools. Bernie asked Sara what she’s seeing as brands use video and she shared a wide variety of approaches. Marketers are using video to find the right people at the right time Entertainment production companies are using video to get more subscribers to their programs Publishers are working with video to create a stickier website experience and connect better with their audience In these and many other use cases, Sara says the consistent theme is that these brands need a great way to connect with their audience. Video is their medium of choice because it’s the only content format that uses eyes and ears to make an emotional connection with people. Listen to learn from these great examples! Challenges To Building A Video-Based Connection With An Audience Naturally, no brand or marketer can jump right into video creation and effective distribution. There is a very real learning curve and technological hurdle to overcome. But Sara points out that the tech challenges are less formidable as the tools now available are smarter and easier to use. That means there is more time to focus on telling great stories, which is what is at the heart of using video well. The real challenge is to stay focused on that objective. In Sara’s mind, we are still in the early days of using video among corporate marketers. There is a lot that has been learned but much more that is still to be discovered about how to use the medium effectively. But it’s a medium brand marketers are starting to understand better. During this conversation, Sara highlights many of the approaches Brightcove customers are taking that are getting great results. How The Brightcove PLAY Event Can Help You Breakthrough With Video Many brands already know that video is one of the most powerful mediums to use in order to make human connections with customers and prospects. Sara believes that now is the ideal time for content marketers and brands to embrace video more than ever before. Brightcove is hosting it’s 9th Brightcove PLAY event in May of 2019 and it is a “must attend” event for those looking to get into video marketing or to take their video marketing to the next level. The event will highlight Brightcove customers who are getting great results from their use of video, and many themes will be laced throughout the event sessions. Some of them are… How are we better able to make true human connections with video? Where are we seeing new approaches and who are the trailblazers we can learn from? How can attendees become the Mavericks and evangelists of the video space? Bernie will be presenting at the event on May 15th on the topic of how salespeople can use video to engage the modern buyer to stand out from the competition. If you attend Brightcove PLAY, you will leave with actionable ideas, tips and best practices to leverage video to build a following and engage your customers more effectively. You’ll have plenty of food for thought regarding whether you should insource or outsource your video production, you’ll understand the learning curve surrounding video implementation, and you'll understand how to use video analytics tools well so you can measure effectiveness and maximize your efforts.

IDC survey on digital transformation (https://diginomica.com/2018/05/30/whats-really-driving-digital-transformation-globally-idc-has-answers/) says organizations are motivated to get more “productivity” and be more competitive, among other survey findings. And, as always, “the biggest barriers are people oriented.” Get the Infor sponsored PDF (https://www.infor.com/content/analyst/Designing-tomorrow.pdf/?noRedirect=1) if you’re into this kind of thing. Infrastructure software is back (https://twitter.com/ritam/status/1002339901507899392)! Also, Amazon’s DB has huge growth. “Full Life-cycle Developers” (https://medium.com/netflix-techblog/full-cycle-developers-at-netflix-a08c31f83249) at Netflix Like SRE, but “platform ops.” Which is to say, something like, “shallow DevOps.” “Netflix created centralized teams (e.g., Cloud Platform, Performance & Reliability Engineering, Engineering Tools) with the mission of developing common tooling and infrastructure (https://netflix.github.io/) to solve problems that every development team has. Empowered with these tools in hand, development teams can focus on solving problems within their specific product domain.” “As additional tooling needs arise, centralized teams assess whether the needs are common across multiple dev teams. When they are, collaborations ensue. Sometimes these local needs are too specific to warrant centralized investment. In that case the development team decides if their need is important enough for them to solve on their own.” “we arrived at a model where a development team, equipped with amazing developer productivity tools, is responsible for the full software life cycle: design, development, test, deploy, operate, and support”…but not the infrastructure, common middleware and services, and “platform” that they run on. Just like SRE, eh? Which the post says. Use of the roads seems optional, and sometimes challenging to recruit for: ‘Netflix has a “paved road” set of tools and practices that are formally supported by centralized teams. We don’t mandate adoption of those paved roads but encourage adoption by ensuring that development and operations using those technologies is a far better experience than not using them. The downside of our approach is that the ideal of “every team using every feature in every tool for their most important needs” is near impossible to achieve. Realizing the returns on investment for our centralized teams’ solutions requires effort, alignment, and ongoing adaptations.’ Coté had dinner with Netflix tools engineer many years ago where they described exactly this. Question: what exactly is DevOps (now) anyways? Is it too expansive to be useful as a phrase, and instead a buffet of thought technologies? BMC changes PE hands (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-29/kkr-to-buy-bmc-software-from-bain-group-golden-gate-capital): Brenon@451 (https://451research.com/report-short?entityId=95026&type=mis&alertid=1645&contactid=0033200001wgKCKAA2&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=market-insight&utm_content=newsletter&utm_term=95026-A+sizeable+secondary+for+BMC): “Terms of the BMC secondary weren't released. However, early reports indicated that the price paid by the syndicate for BMC and the price received for BMC [$6.9bn five years ago] weren't radically different.” Same: “the software vendor that says it posts revenue of $2bn each year.” The reporters are like “I got no idea what the fuck these people do”: “Houston-based BMC builds various types of software solutions for businesses looking to manage and streamline their information.” “BMC has about 6,000 employees in 30 countries, according to its website.” “BMC has more than $5 billion in debt outstanding, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.” Annual Meeker Slide Fest: recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdjcdZqODoE&feature=youtu.be), slides (https://www.slideshare.net/kleinerperkins/internet-trends-report-2018-99574140).

Kubernetes Korner PodCTL #37 (https://blog.openshift.com/podcast-podctl-37-how-to-deploy-applications-to-kubernetes/) covers Helm and other deployment schemes - Very responsible Coté hasn’t listened to it yet. Nerd fight on forking (https://www.infoworld.com/article/3276009/open-source-tools/the-kubernetes-fork-open-source-purists-miss-the-point.html): Asay: “Enterprises want stuff that works. As much as we in the open source world chatter and fret about vendor lockin, enterprises have demonstrated a remarkable ability to shrug off that concern and buy deeply into Microsoft, Oracle, and, yes, Red Hat’s OpenShift.” Question: how close are we to going OpenStack on all this? Is that even a helpful question, or just trolling? “Kubernetes has, in fact, already lost the war to serverless,” James Governor (https://redmonk.com/jgovernor/2018/05/25/kubernetes-won-so-now-what/). By the time you hear this, Coté will have finally given a Kubernetes talk (https://twitter.com/cote/status/1002338318846083072). The State Of The Kubernetes Ecosystem (https://blog.spotinst.com/2018/05/20/kubernetes-ecosystem/): Overview of all the (vendor) players. “A Forrester study (http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/business/solutions/whitepapers/en/Documents/Containers_Real_Adoption_2017_Dell_EMC_Forrester_Paper.pdf) found that 66% of organizations who adopted containers experienced accelerated developers efficiency, while 75% of companies achieved a moderate to significant increase in application deployment speed.” “According to predictions from 451 Research, the market is set to grow from $762 million in 2016 to $2.7 billion by 2020” Important nonsense BA now part of TSA Pre (https://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2018/05/17/british-airways-tsa-pre-check/).

Matt tells you how suck out some InSpec stuff from Terraform (https://blog.chef.io/2018/05/23/automatically-generating-inspec-controls-from-terraform/). How CapitalOne uses Chef (https://www.computerworlduk.com/devops/why-capital-one-completely-re-architected-its-chef-stack-on-aws-3677848/): “[M]ore than 15,000 nodes for dev, QA, and production environments, all hosted on AWS” They like public cloud (quote from 2017 article): “About 40 percent of our production workload is on AWS now. At 40 percent we are larger than Netflix on the AWS footprint, it's huge. We are not running a hybrid model - our focus is everything on cloud. There are data centre-based applications being transformed, re-written, re-engineered, thrown out, to get to cloud." Also, WTF is Helm? See: this talk from Amy Chen is really good (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQX5nokoqrQ), and this other one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ1S2Gp47ng). OpenStack Summit So, it’s still NFV heavy with existing enterprise deploys? Plus, Mirantis us pushing for a CI/CD focus? Haven’t read the survey yet. Brief (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/24/networking_roundup_may_24/) Register (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/24/networking_roundup_may_24/) coverage (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/24/networking_roundup_may_24/): VMwware updates (https://www.zdnet.com/article/vmware-ready-to-release-new-openstack-cloud-program/), AT&T and others donate some code, Solarwinds adds in some more support. VMware likes NFV (https://www.zdnet.com/article/vmware-ready-to-release-new-openstack-cloud-program/): ‘VMware is targeting the telecom industry with this release. Gabriele Di Piazza, VMware Telco NFV Business Unit's VP of products and solutions, said in a statement, "VMware Integrated OpenStack 5 will enable customers to achieve the massive scale required to power Telco and private clouds globally, and address NFV and edge computing use cases as telecom networks evolve towards 5G."’ Shuttleworth gonna Shuttleworth (https://www.zdnet.com/article/ubuntus-mark-shuttleworth-pulls-no-punches-on-red-hat-and-vmware-in-openstack-cloud/#ftag=RSSbaffb68): “If you want OpenStack and Kubernetes support with vendor independence at a low price, Canonical is your company. If you prefer a partner, which offers a soup-to-nuts stack, but at a higher price, look to Red Hat. And, of course, if you're already wedded to VMware, you've made your choice. There's room for all these approaches to the 21st century cloud and containers.” Over on TechCrunch, in his layup (https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/24/openstack-in-transition/), Frederic Lardinois paints a picture of the current Story of OpenStack. “That current state produces fewer flashy headlines, but every survey, both from the Foundation itself and third-party analysts, show that the number of users — and their OpenStack clouds — continues to grow.” Mirantis, after $200m in funding, refocusing(?) on CI/CD with Spinnaker support, “shrunk from almost 1,000 employees to 450 today, but as Mirantis CEO and co-founder Boris Renski told me, it’s now cash-flow positive.” Boris: “I think that Spinnaker should become part of the Foundation. That’s the opportunity and I think it should focus 150 percent of their energy on that before it builds its own thing and before [Spinnaker] goes off to the CNCF as yet another project.” Caroline Donnelly (https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252441808/From-open-clouds-to-open-infrastructure-OpenStacks-evolution-continues) covers the quest to become a more general foundation for infrastructure stuff, started in 2015 with “The Big Tent” positioning. Side-note: Donnely’s and Lardinois’s articles are good example of doing good tech journalism (I mean, I always like more charts and TAM’s, but they don’t really do that over art Oath - could have also gotten a paragraph of “the kubernetes threat” backed up by usage momentum surveys - but, hey! - pretty good all around.). Relevant to your interests Coté’s three methods of dealing with grumpy people (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/14/devops_change_barriers/) when you’re digital transforming and DevOps’ing all the things, the The Register. All these GDPR emails. Oh for fuck’s sake! (Cf. Jon Collins interview (http://www.softwaredefinedinterviews.com/61).) What does Terraform do again? When is that company going to be acquired? Can IT finally deliver innovation without busting its own budget? Docker's CEO says yes. (https://diginomica.com/2018/05/22/can-it-finally-deliver-innovation-without-busting-its-own-budget-dockers-ceo-says-yes/) Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst On How He Plans To Win The Container Market (https://m.crn.com/slide-shows/virtualization/300104051/red-hat-ceo-jim-whitehurst-on-how-he-plans-to-win-the-container-market.htm). Docker, Inc. still on that cost take-out strategy (https://diginomica.com/2018/05/22/can-it-finally-deliver-innovation-without-busting-its-own-budget-dockers-ceo-says-yes/): “What we’re seeing at companies like MetLife or Northern Trust is they’re taking their app and infrastructure management cost, and cutting it in half. Let’s say that you can cut 50 million dollars out of your app and infrastructure management cost, which by the way, some of our customers are at. That’s 50 million dollars you can go spend on innovation. That’s not going to the CEO and saying look, I need another hundred million dollars in my budget. That’s freeing up 50-100 million dollars of your existing budget.” Bro. So the message is “Docker will cut $50m [annually?] out of your IT budget.” $12.5m a quarter in extra cash? That kind of shit could make quarterly numbers. Could that even be real? Bruh. Salesforce.com, Inc.
