Oracle noemde zijn jaarlijkse conferentie voorheen Oracle OpenWorld. Die naam dekte de lading kennelijk niet meer. Vanaf dit jaar gaat de conferentie door het leven als Oracle CloudWorld. Op zich logisch, gezien de focus van het bedrijf op hun cloudaanbod, zowel op het gebied van IaaS, PaaS en SaaS. Toch had OpenWorld juist nu ook behoorlijk goed geklonken. Waar Oracle vroeger een tamelijk gesloten karakter had, is dat de laatste jaren behoorlijk veranderd. De voornaamste boodschap van Oracle CloudWorld was dat de toekomstige cloudwereld er een is van openheid en interoperabiliteit. Of het nou gaat om de brede beschikbaarheid van OCI, het verbinden van de verschillende cloudomgevingen, het beschikbaar maken van patiëntendata, een eigen low-code platform om klanten zelf aan te sporen om het aanbod van Oracle verder uit te breiden, of het draaien van Oracle-services op AWS en Azure. Techzine was dit jaar aanwezig op Oracle CloudWorld. In het verleden had Oracle nog weleens de neiging om zichzelf te positioneren ten kosten van andere. Daar heeft het van geleerd, want dat doet het niet meer. Het kijkt nu meer naar wat andere spelers in de markt doen en probeert daar lessen uit te trekken. Larry Ellison, oprichter, CTO en nog altijd de voornaamste bepaler van de koers van Oracle, geeft in zijn keynote tijdens CloudWorld aan dat hij de strategie van Snowflake zeer geslaagd vindt. Snowflake kun je op zowel AWS, Azure als Google draaien. Een dergelijke brede toepassing van de technologie van Oracle ziet Ellison duidelijk ook wel zitten. 

In Episode 32, we meet Douglas Krone, Founder and CEO of Dynamism, a key online reseller of 3D printers founded in 1997 in Chicago, and now with a global footprint and a commitment to bringing the most transformative and innovative technologies to their customers. Douglas introduces Chris Bensen, Oracle Experience Labs Engineer, who among other fascinating projects for largescale conference experiences has created the world's largest Raspberry Pi cluster.

This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: It seems like there is a new security breach every day. Are you confident that an old SSH key, or a shared admin account, isn't going to come back and bite you? If not, check out Teleport. Teleport is the easiest, most secure way to access all of your infrastructure. The open source Teleport Access Plane consolidates everything you need for secure access to your Linux and Windows servers—and I assure you there is no third option there. Kubernetes clusters, databases, and internal applications like AWS Management Console, Yankins, GitLab, Grafana, Jupyter Notebooks, and more. Teleport's unique approach is not only more secure, it also improves developer productivity. To learn more visit: goteleport.com. And not, that is not me telling you to go away, it is: goteleport.com. Corey: You know how Git works right?Announcer: Sorta, kinda, not really. Please ask someone else.Corey: That's all of us. Git is how we build things, and Netlify is one of the best ways I've found to build those things quickly for the web. Netlify's Git-based workflows mean you don't have to play slap-and-tickle with integrating arcane nonsense and web hooks, which are themselves about as well understood as Git. Give them a try and see what folks ranging from my fake Twitter for Pets startup, to global Fortune 2000 companies are raving about. If you end up talking to them—because you don't have to; they get why self-service is important—but if you do, be sure to tell them that I sent you and watch all of the blood drain from their faces instantly. You can find them in the AWS marketplace or at www.netlify.com. N-E-T-L-I-F-Y dot com.Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud, I'm Corey Quinn. It's always fun when I get the opportunity to talk to people whose work inspires me, and makes me reflect more deeply upon how I go about doing things in various ways. Now, for folks who have been following my journey for a while, it's pretty clear that humor plays a big part in this, but that is not something that I usually talk about with respect to whose humor inspires me.Today that's going to change a little bit. My guest is Danielle Baskin, who among so many other things is the CEO of a company called Dialup, but more notably is renowned for pulling a bunch of—I don't know if we'd call them pranks. I don't know if we would call them performance art. I don't know if we would call them shitposting in real life, but they are all amazing. Danielle, thank you so much for joining. How do you describe what it is that you do?Danielle: Thanks for having me. Yeah, I've used a few different terms. I've called it situation design. I've called it serious jokes. I have called what I do business art, but all the things you said, shitposting IRL, that's part of it too.Corey: It's been an absolute pleasure to just watch what you've done since I first became aware of you, which our mutual friend, Chloe Condon first pointed me in your general direction with, “Hey, Corey, you think you're funny? You should watch what Danielle is doing.” That's not how she framed it, but that's what I took from it because I'm incredibly egotistical, which is now basically a brand slash core personality trait. There you have it.And I encountered you for the first time in person—I believe only time to date—at I believe it was Oracle OpenWorld on the expo floor. She had been talking about you a couple of days before, and I saw someone who could only be you because you were dressed as a seer to be at Oracle OpenWorld. The joke should be clear to folks but we'll explain it later for the folks who are—might need to replay that a bit. I staggered up to you with, “Hey, are you Chloe's friend?”Let me give listeners here some advice through counterexample. Don't do that. It makes you look like a sketchy person who has no clue how social graces work. No one has any context and as soon as you said, “No,” I realized, “Oh, I came across as a loon.” I am going to say, “Never mind. My mistake,” and walk away like a sensible person will after bungling an introduction like that. I'm not usually that inartful about these things. I don't know what the hell happened, but it happens often when we meet people that we consider celebrities, and sorry, for some of us that's you.Danielle: [laugh] yeah, also in fairness to you I was probably fully immersed in character being my wizard self, and so I was not there to, you know, be pulled back to reality. For some context, I was at Oracle OpenWorld because I made a thing called same exact name, oracleopenworld.org, but it's a divination conference for oracles, for fortune-tellers, for wizards, for seers, and it happened at the exact same place in time, so there was a whole crew of people dressed up with capes, and robes, and tall pointy hats doing tarot readings and practicing our divination skills.Corey: Now, I could wind up applying about two dozen different adjectives to Oracle, but playful is absolutely not one of them. I would not ever accuse Oracle, or frankly any large company of that scale of having anything even remotely resembling a sense of humor. As someone who does have to factor in the not that remote possibility of getting kicked out of events that I attend, how do you handle that and not find yourself arrested?Danielle: Oh, we were kicked out every single time.Corey: Oh, good good good.Danielle: I've done this for four years. The first year we were kicked out just because we didn't have badges. I made up our own conference lanyard; of course, there's security issues with that. We were pushed out onto the sidewalk, but I wanted to be inside the conference and closer to the building.The next year I did a two-layer conference badge, so I put the real one underneath the fake one so that if security went up to us we had the right to be there. What sort of happened—so, like, the first year we got kicked out was because we were all distributed; maybe there was like 20 of us. Sometimes we were together. Sometimes we were having our own adventures. My friend Brian decided do a séance for the Deloitte team.Corey: Well, that's Deloitte-ful. Tell me more.Danielle: [laugh]. Brian has never done a séance before, but he is a good improv actor and also a spiritual person, so this is, like, perfect for him. As the Deloitte team if they wanted to do a séance they were, like, sure because I think they didn't have anything going—I mean, people are bored at this conference.Corey: Oh, of course, they are.Danielle: Especially if your boss flew you there to stand at your booth and you've been saying the same thing over and over again; you're looking for something interesting. So, he grabs the pillows from a lounge area and little tea light candles and makes a whole circle so that the team can sit down.He's wearing a bright rainbow cape and he stands in the middle and he could have a booming voice if he wants to. So, he just starts riffing and going—he just goes into séance mode, and this was enough to trigger security noticing that something really weird was happening. And when they went—Corey: They come over and say, “What the hell is this?” The answer was “Kubernetes.”Danielle: I had said everyone can blame—if you get in trouble just blame me just say, “I'm doing this with my friend, Danielle,” and have them talk to me. I wanted more people to come and be wizards. I don't want them to worry about it, so I will take all of the issues on me. He said that he should talk to his manager, Danielle, or I don't know.He said something that made it seem we were all part of a company. Which then makes it seem like our whole project was secret guerilla marketing for something. And we didn't pay for booth. We were not selling anything. We were just trolling. Or not troll—I mean, we were having our own divination summit. We were genuinely—Corey: You were virally marketing is the right answer and from my perspective—Danielle: Yeah, no, I wasn't doing viral marketing. They think anything that's unusual and getting people's attention has the ultimate goal of selling something, which it's not a philosophy I live by.Corey: No, it feels like the weird counter-intuitive thing here is the way to get the blessing of everyone from this would've—the only step you missed was charging Deloitte for doing it at their booth because it attracts attention.Danielle: Oh, sure. Oracle should have been paying us a lot of money for entertaining people. Actually, genuinely I had some real heart-to-heart conversations with people who wanted to have a tarot reading about how should they talk to their boss about not listening to them. This is something magical that happens when you are dressed up in costume and you are acting really weird people feel they can say anything because you're acting way more unusual than them, so it sort of takes away people's barriers. So, people are very honest with me about their situation.People had questions about their family. Anyway, I was in the middle of a heart-to-heart tarot reading, and security at Oracle was alerted to find anyone with a cape. Find the wizards and kick them out because they didn't pay to be here. There's some weird marketing thing happen.Corey: “Find and eject the wizards,” is probably the most surreal thing that they have been told that year.Danielle: Oh, yeah. And they didn't know why. The message why I did not transmit to all the security, but they were just told to find us. Two guards with their walkie-talkies in their uniforms went up to me and they had to escort me off the premises. Which means we had to walk through the conference together and I asked them, “Why?” They're like, “We don't know. We were just told to find you.”Corey: Imagine them trying to find you stopping and asking people, “Excuse me, have you seen the wizard?”Danielle: Exactly.Corey: It is hard to be taken seriously when asking questions like that.Danielle: Totally, totally. So yeah, unfortunately, we had to leave and that has consistently happened because I've done it four times. The final year I went, there was a message before the event even started that you're not allowed to wear a cape.Corey: The fact that you can have actual changes made to company policy for large-scale, incredibly expensive events like that is a sign that you've made it.Danielle: It doesn't even point to any particular incident. Yeah, it's cool to have this sort of lore. When I asked in the last year I went, “I asked why can't we wear a cape?” And one of the event organizer security, I don't know what her role was. She said, “There was an incident the previous year.” Which she was talking about me and my friends.Corey: Of course, but that is the best part of it.Danielle: It's just lore than something once happened with these, like, dark spirits that tried to mess up the Oracle conference with their magic.Corey: Times change and events evolve. Years ago I attended an AWS Summit with a large protest sign that said on it AMI has three syllables, and it got a bit of an eyebrow raise from people at the door, but okay, great. Then people started protesting those events for one of the very many reasons people have to protest Amazon, and they keep piling more on that pile all the time which is neither here nor there.I realized, okay, I can't do that anymore because regardless of what the sign says I will get tackled at the door for trying to bring something like that in, and I don't try and actively disrupt keynotes. So okay, it's time to move on and not get myself viewed through certain lenses that are unhelpful, but it's always a question of moving on and try to top what I did previous years. Weren't you also at Dreamforce wearing pajamas?Danielle: I did a few things at Dreamforce. One year I literally set up a tent. They spend millions of dollars on beautiful fake trees and rocks, and also Dreamforce gets taken over every time the event occurs. I did a few things. I thought I should make it seem like this is real nature so I brought camping gear and a tent and just brought a hiking backpack in.Set it up in the middle of the conference floor laying by the waterfall, but there were people in suits networking around me that did not ask me any questions. I just stayed in the tent, but then I decided to list it on Airbnb. So, inside my tent, I was making an Airbnb listing telling people that they could stay at Dreamforce and explore the beautiful nature there, but it took an hour-and-a-half to get kicked out.Corey: The emails that you must have back and forth with places like Airbnb's customer support line and the rest have got to be legendary at this point.Danielle: [laugh] I get interesting cease-and-desists. I wish there was more dialogue. With Airbnb I just got my listing taken down and I couldn't talk to a human, and even when I got kicked out of Dreamforce they wanted me to leave immediately. I totally snuck in; I didn't have a badge or anything. So, I guess they're in the right for that. The second year at Dreamforce I wore a ghillie suit so I hid. So, I stayed a little bit after the conference ended by hiding as a bush.Corey: That is both amazing and probably terrifying for the worker that encountered you while trying to clean up.Danielle: Oh, I mean often employees—like it depends. Some people find my pranks really delightful because it shakes up their day. Security guards also find this amusing. There's some type of organizer that absolutely hates my pranks.Corey: There's something to be said for self-selecting your own audience. One question that I—sure you get; if I get it I know you get it—where it's difficult for people to sometimes draw the line between the fun whimsical things that you do as pranks and the actual things that you do. A great example of this is something you've been doing for, I think, four years now, the decruiter.Danielle: Yeah. The decruiter a service that's the opposite of a recruiter so it is—Corey: At the first re:Invent AWS had a slide that was apparently he made the night before or something and they misspelled security as decurity. From that perspective, what's a decruiter?Danielle: Yes, I love decurity as a way to talk about infiltrating a space, like, “No I'm a decurity officer.” Yeah, decruiter is basically a service where you talk to us to find out if you should quit your job. Instead of finding out if you should work at a place or figuring out what opportunities there are, we discuss the unemployed life—or the inbet—like, being self-employed, between jobs, switching careers, it's a whole spectrum but there's a few recruiters and we're all like very experienced not having an employer or working for a company. And so, we ask people about how would you spend your free time. What's your financial situation? Are you able to afford leaving? It gets pretty personal, but it's highly specific therapy, but we also don't have a high acceptance rate. I've only decruited like 15% people that I've talked to.Corey: Most of them realize that, oh, there's a lot of things I would have to do if I didn't have a job and I'm just going to stay where I am?Danielle: Yeah. Well, I think a lot of people think that as soon as they leave their job a lot of other things in their life will magically transform, or they'll finally be able to do their creative project they've always wanted to do. This is true some percentage of the time, but I always encourage people to do things outside of work and not seek in their whole fulfillment through their job.There's plenty of time where you can explore other ideas and even overlap them to make sure that like when you quit you have things lined up. A lot of people don't know how to answer, “If you suddenly left tomorrow and could just float for three months, what would you do?” If people give me a good answer—and this is similar to an actual job interview I was like, “Why are you excited about working this company?”If people give me a good answer, that's a conversation. A lot of people have no idea, but they're just stuck in a situation where there's things they could do in their outside of work life that would make them feel happier. That's why it's sort of like therapy, but there's a lot of internal company issues that I talk about. A common reason that people want to leave is that they love their role, they love the company's mission, but they do not like their manager, but their manager is really good friends with the CEO and they absolutely can't say anything. This is so common.Corey: They always say people they'll quit jobs they quit managers and there is something to be said for that.Danielle: Yes, it's scary for people to speak up or who do you write a letter to? How do you secretly talk with your team about it? Are you the only one feeling that way? Typically the people that are the most nervous about saying anything are kind of young either in their early 20s and they feel like they can't say anything.I encourage them to come up with a strategy for making change within their corporation but sometimes it's not worth it. If there's tons of other opportunities for them it's not worth them fixing their company.Corey: It's also I think not incumbent upon people to fix their entire corporate culture unless they're at a somewhat higher executive level. That's a fun thing. The derecruiter.com we'll definitely throw a link to that in the [show notes 00:15:49] and I'll start driving people to it when they ask me for advice on these things. Then you decided, okay, that's fun.You're one of those people I feel has a bit of the same alignment that I do which is, why do one thing when I could do a bunch of things? And you decided, ah, you're going to do a startup. What is the best thing that you can do that really can capitalize on emerging cultural trends? That's right. Getting millennial to make phone calls to each other. Tell me about that story.Danielle: Yeah, and it's not just millennials, though I'm millennial. So, a lot of millennials use Dialup. I mean, Dialup started as a project where basically me and a friend set up a robocall between ourselves. So, like a bot would call our phones and if we would pick up we'd both be connected, but neither of us was actually calling each other. So, it was a way to just always be catching up with each other.So, many friends asked me if they could join the robocalls. That was sort of the seat of Dialup is getting serendipitous phone calls throughout the day that connect you to a person that you might know or might want to meet. Because there's overlap of interest or overlap of someone you know. It grew from me and 20 friends to now 31,000 people who are actively using it all over the world and these conversations can be really incredible.Sometimes people stay on the phone for four hours. People have flown out to meet each other. I get notes every day of how a call has impacted someone one. So, that's what I'm up to now, but I'm trying to do more interesting things with voice technology. I just like realized, oh, the voice as a medium it just transports you to other worlds. You have space to imagine.I mean, people listening to this podcast right now they're not seeing us, but they probably are imagining us, what our rooms look like, what we look like. They're imagining the stories that we're telling them without the distraction of video. I want to do more interesting things with intimate audio—not broadcast stuff. Not Clubhouse or Spaces or anything like that, but just more interesting ways to connect people in one-on-ones.Corey: Something I've noticed is that the voice has a power that text does not. It makes it easier to remember that there's a human on the other side of things. It is far easier for me to send off an incendiary tweet at someone than it is for me to call them up and then berate them, not really my style.The more three-dimensional someone becomes in various capacities and the higher bandwidth the communication takes on, I think the easier it is to remember that most people who don't work at Facebook wake up in the morning hoping to do a good job today. Extending empathy to the rest of the world, that's an important thing.Danielle: Yeah, for sure. It's incredible that humans can detect emotional qualities in a voice call. It's hard to describe why, but people can detect pauses and little mutters. You can sort of know when someone's laughing or when someone's listening even though you're missing all of the visual cues.Corey: This episode is sponsored by our friends at Oracle Cloud. Counting the pennies, but still dreaming of deploying apps instead of "Hello, World" demos? Allow me to introduce you to Oracle's Always Free tier. It provides over 20 free services and infrastructure, networking, databases, observability, management, and security. And—let me be clear here—it's actually free. There's no surprise billing until you intentionally and proactively upgrade your account. This means you can provision a virtual machine instance or spin up an autonomous database that manages itself all while gaining the networking load, balancing and storage resources that somehow never quite make it into most free tiers needed to support the application that you want to build. With Always Free, you can do things like run small scale applications or do proof-of-concept testing without spending a dime. You know that I always like to put asterisks next to the word free. This is actually free, no asterisk. Start now. Visit snark.cloud/oci-free that's snark.cloud/oci-free.Corey: Taking a glance at dialup.com, it appears to be a completely free service. You mentioned that it has 30,000 folks involved. Are you taking the VC model of we're going to get a whole bunch of users first and then figure out how to make money later? Sometimes it works super well. Other times it basically becomes Docker retold.Danielle: I've been thinking about this a lot and I swing back and forth. Right now Dialup is its own thing, connecting strangers. It's free though I do have some paying clients because I do serendipitous one-on-ones within organizations. I've got a secret B2B page, and so that is a little bit of revenue. Right now I'm trying to sort of expand beyond Dialup and make a new thing, in which case I am leaning more towards building a sustainable and profitable company rather than do the raise-VC-money-until-you-die model.Corey: I think it's long past time to disrupt the trope of starving artist. What about well-paid artist? It seems like that would inspire and empower people to create a lot more art when they're not worrying about freezing to death. To that end or presumably to that end you are in the process of looking for a co-founder in what is arguably the most Danielle Baskin possible way. How are you doing it?Danielle: Oh, yeah. I could have done a regular LinkedIn post linking to a Google Doc, but that is not my style, and as a self-employed person I can't reach out to old coworkers and be like, “Oh, you're on my team a few years ago. What are you up to now?” So, I'm sort of under-networked and I thought I should make a game that sort of explains what I'm doing, but have people discover the game in an interesting way. So, I bought a bunch of floppy discs—I have a floppy disc dealer outside of LA.Corey: For those who are not millennials and are in fact younger than that—and of course let's not forget Gen X, the Baby Boom Generation, the Silent Generation which I can only assume is comprised entirely of people who represent big companies from a PR point of view because they never comment on anything. What is a floppy disc for someone who was born in, I don't know, 2005?Danielle: Oh, a floppy disk is how you would run software on your computer.Corey: Yeah, a USB stick with no capacity you can wreck with a magnet.Danielle: Yes, it's like a flat wide USB stick, but it only contains—Corey: 1.44 megabytes on the three-and-a-half-inch version.Danielle: I think some of them then went up to 2.88.Corey: Ohh.Danielle: You can't even fit a picture—a modern picture. You could do a super low-resolution pixel art.Corey: This picture of grandma has a whopping eight pixels in it. Oh, okay, great. I guess.Danielle: Yeah. More complex software would be eight floppy disks that you have to insert disk A, insert disk B.Corey: Anti-piracy warnings in that day of ‘don't copy that floppy.' It was a seminal thing for a long time.Danielle: I have it in my game; it says ‘don't make illegal copies of this game.' My game is not literally on the floppy disc. All floppy discs come with pretty interesting artwork on the label. There's a little space for a sticker, and because I have hundreds of floppy disks, I sort of looked at—I had a ton of design inspiration.So, I made floppy discs in the aesthetic of the other ones that say Cofounder Quest—like it's this game—and it leads you to a website. I scattered these in strategic places around the bay area, and I also mailed some to people outside of the bay area. If you stumble across this in person or on the internet, it leads you to this adventure game that's around seven minutes to play.It really explains what I want to do with Dialup, and explains me, and explains my aesthetic, and the sort of playful experiences that I'm into without telling you. So, you get to really experience it. At the end, it basically leads you to a job description and tells you to reach out to me if you're interested.Corey: I was independent for years and I finally decided to take on a business partner. As it turns out, Mike Julian, who's the CEO of The Duckbill Group and I go back ten years, he's my best friend. I kept correcting him. He introduced me as his friend. I said, “No, Mike, your best friend.” Then I got him on audio at one point saying, “Oh, Corey Quinn? He's my best friend.” I have that on my soundboard and I play it every time he gets uppity. That's the sort of nonsense it's important in a co-founder relationship. It is a marriage in some respects.Danielle: Oh, for sure.Corey: It's a business entity. Each one of you can destroy the other financially in different ways. You have to have shared values. The idea of speed-dating your way through finding some random co-founder as a job application, on some level, has always struck me as a little dissonant. I like the approach you're taking of this is who I am and how I go about things. If this aligns then we should talk, and if you don't like this you're not going to like any of the rest of this.Danielle: For sure. I'm definitely self-selecting with who would actually reach out after playing. I also understand. I'm not going to find a co-founder in a few weeks. I'm just starting conversations with people and then seeing who I should continue talking to or seeing if we could do a mini-project together.Yeah, it's weird. It's a very intense relationship. That's why people do end up becoming co-founders with someone that they already know who's a friend. It's possible I already know my co-founder and they've been in front of me this whole time. I think these sorts of moments happen, but I also think that it's cool to totally expand your network and meet someone who maybe has an overlap in spirit, but is someone that you would've never otherwise met. That there could be this great overlap or convergence there. I wanted to cast a very wide net with who this would reach, but it's still going to be a multi-month-long process or longer.Corey: It's not these one-off projects that are the most interesting part to me. It is the sheer variety and consistency of this. During the pandemic I believe you wound up having the verified checkmark badges for houses and fill out this form if you want one and for folks in San Francisco. Absolutely, of course, I filled that out. I read a fairly bad take news article on it of a bunch of people fell for this prank.No, absolutely not. If people are familiar with your work then they know exactly what they're getting into with something like this and you support the kinds of things you want to see more of in the world. I didn't fall for anything. I wanted to see where it led and that's how I feel on everything you do.Danielle: Yeah, you appreciated the joke.Corey: Yeah.Danielle: Yeah, I think people who are familiar with my work understand that I take jokes very seriously. So, it's not simply—like, usually it's not just a website that's like, huh, this was a trick. It's more of an ongoing theater piece. So, I actually did go through all of the applicants for the Blue Check Homes. Oh, for some context, I made a website where you could apply to have a blue verified badge and a plaster crest put on your house if you are a dignified authentic person that lives in the house.So, I'm interviewing—I narrowed it down to 50 people from all the applicants and I'm going through and interviewing people with a committee. I'm recording all of the interviews because I think this will make an interesting mini-documentary. I'm actually making one in installing one, but I'm documenting all of it.When I started it—for a lot of projects I don't have the ending planned yet. I like the sort of joke to unfold on the internet in real-time, and then figure out what the next thing I should do from there is and continue the project in a sort of curious exploratory mindset as opposed to just saying, “All right, the joke is done.”Corey: What is your process for coming up with this stuff? Because for me the most intimidating thing I ever see in the course of a week is not the inevitable cease and desist I get from every large cloud company for everything I do. Rather an empty page where it's all right time for me to write a humorous blog post, or start drafting the bones of a Twitter thread, or start writing my resignation and if I don't come with an idea by the end of it, I'll submit it. Where does the creative process start from with you?Danielle: Yeah. I rarely have creative brainstorming sessions. I'm a person who thinks of a million bad ideas and then there's one good one. My mind leaps to a ton of ideas. I rarely write down ideas. I don't do any sort of—you might imagine I'm in a room of whiteboards and post-it notes, workshopping things and doing creative brainstorm sessions, but I don't.I think I act upon the things that I feel just extremely excited about and feel like I must do this immediately. It's hard to explain, but with a lot of my ideas, I just feel this surge of energy. I have to do this because no one else will do it and it's funny at this moment. If I don't feel that way I kind of don't do anything and see if the idea keeps reemerging. With a lot of ideas I may be thought of it a year ago and it just kept resurfacing, but I don't really force myself to churn out creative projects if that makes sense. People have told me that my work reminds them of Mischief. It's like as a company that puts out a prank on a Tuesday every two weeks.Corey: Not familiar with them, but there have been a whole bunch of flash mob groups, and other folks who affected just wind up being professional pranksters, which I love the concept.Danielle: Yeah, yeah, for sure. I do churn out a lot of pranks and I even have my own prank calendar. I'm not strict with my own deadlines and I also think timing is important. So, you might think of a good idea, but then it's just the spirit of the zeitgeist doesn't want you to do it that week. I improvise the things that I want to launch. I mostly do things that I just feel are rich in something I could explore.Like, with Cofounder Quest I was always on the fence about it because it feels to me annoying to tell people you're trying to hire someone or to put yourself out there and be pitching your startup. So, I was kind of nervous about that, but I also thought if I leave a floppy disk in the park, and then put a picture on the internet it'll lead to something—there's something that it will lead to.It might lead to finding a co-founder. It might lead to meeting interesting people, but also I've never built an interactive game with audio and so I was interested in learning that, but yeah, I tend to land on ideas that I think are rich in terms of things I could learn. Things that I could turn into more immersive theater and things that keep resurfacing as opposed to keeping myself on a strict schedule of creative ideas if that makes sense.Corey: It makes a lot of sense. It's one of those things that it is not commonly understood for those of us who came up in the nose of the grindstone 40 hours a week, have a work ethic. Even if you're not busy look busy. Sometimes work looks a lot more like getting up and going to a coffee shop and meeting some stranger from the internet than it does sitting down churning out code.Danielle: For sure. I think that it is important to continue being in conversations with people. I think good ideas emerge while you're in the middle of talking, and you realize your own limitations and ideas when you have to explain things to other people. While something you're very clear in your head as soon as there's a person you don't know and they ask you, “What are you working on?” You realize, oh, there's so many gaps. It made perfect sense to me, but there's a lot of gaps. So yeah, I think it's important to stay in dialogue and also have to explain yourself to new people instead of just sort of making ideas in a vacuum.Corey: I want to thank you for being so generous with your time and talking to me about all the various things you have going on. If people want to follow along and learn more about what you're up to, where can they find you?Danielle: I post a lot of my projects on Twitter. So, I'm @djbaskin. If you want to play Cofounder Quest, it's cofounder.quest. That is an actual domain. I also have a website daniellebaskin.com, which has a lot of my projects, many of which we didn't discuss. I also do, similar to Oracle OpenWorld, I like to host popup events that involve lots of people trolling. So, if you want to get involved in anything you see I'm always happy to bring more wizards on board.Corey: We will, of course, put links to that in the [show notes 00:31:10]. Danielle, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today.Danielle: Oh yeah, thanks for having me. It was great talking with you.Corey: Danielle Baskin, CEO of Dialup, and oh so very much more. I'm Cloud Economist Corey Quinn, and this is Screaming in the Cloud.

In a small organization, communications and marketing might be the same person or team. As a company grows marketing and advertising might reside under one leader, while communications reside under another leader. Communications might prioritize public policy, issue management, earned media and brand reputation. Marketing and advertising might be focused on brand awareness, sales revenue, customer relationship management, and conquest sales.

One of the most interesting conversations I had during the Oracle OpenWorld was with Kellie Romack, Vice President of Digital HR and Strategic Planning for Hilton. Hilton was recently named the best place to work in the country, and during OpenWorld Kellie was part of a keynote session sharing why the company is gearing up to roll out Oracle’s new digital assistant technology to its workforce. And I had the pleasure of grabbing a few minutes of her time to ask her a few additional questions. And even though Hilton is a huge organization with locations all over the world, businesses of any size can learn from one of Kellie’s key themes – employees should have access to the same great tech as guests staying at their hotels do in order to create the best experiences they can for guests and themselves

Look, Red Hat and IBM are Pivotal competitors, good ones: we wish them success in this complex integration, it’s good they’re finally trying to fix their cloud portfolio, we’re hiring, etc., etc.. Let’s take it for mature-granted that we’d prefer enterprises be Pivotal customers than IBM/Red Hat customers. Now, let’s put that aside. This is an exquisite slide from their deck (https://www.ibm.com/investor/att/pdf/IBM-RED-HAT-Charts-10-2018.pdf): https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_F8186D6801E202DEB03199A6D1F610BAB9CB91A2CFD988A2666F991EBC2E6CC0_1541067546607_image.png Easily the best corporate deck slide of 2018. First, this is a bold, good move. Acquiring Red Hat has always been a hill too high and it’s kind of mind-blowing that someone actually did it. The valuation here is sort of besides the point of anything impressive. In contrast, the GitHub valuation was impressive because GitHub is a one product company (please don’t email me about “community” as a separate product - sure thing, I agree). Red Hat is kind of everything IBM has missing…except public cloud. To be, I guess, contrarian and annoyingly not Pivotal-biased, I think it’ll be hard for IBM to fuck this up. On that last point, Ben Thompson (https://stratechery.com/2018/ibms-old-playbook/): “The company has spent the years since then claiming it is committed to catching up in the public cloud, but the truth is that Palmisano sealed the company’s cloud fate when he failed to invest a decade ago; indeed, one of the most important takeaways from the Red Hat acquisition is the admission that IBM’s public cloud efforts are effectively dead.” In other word, IBM is too late to catch-up to public cloud co.’s, it’d need to spend lots of capex to get close. Related, sick nerd burn: “Meanwhile, [IBM’s] aforementioned commitment to the cloud has mostly been an accounting fiction derived from re-classifying existing businesses” Fixing IBM’s cloud business. What was wrong in the first place? Things Red Hat has: RHEL revenue, JBoss developer presence, product/developer know-how, support know-how, OSS good-will, OpenShift as a k8s distribution: RHEL & IBM has a foot-print in most all enterprise stacks, but not public cloud(?) IBM knows how to eek out OS revenue, so does Red Hat. JBoss + WebSphere. At some point, IBM had a huge developer community. They likely do among enterprise developers (but even there, it’s been fading). Red Hat has developers - I assume. People do like kubernetes. The know-how and good will are interesting - added to IBM’s OSS equivalent (they still have that?) you have, potentially, the biggest OSS people around…? I’m not sure which standards bodies this allows them more control over, no which projects. Google and Microsoft are contenders here too. “Lock-in”: From the press release: “research shows that 80 percent of business workloads have yet to move to the cloud, held back by the proprietary nature of today’s cloud market.” (No citation provided. I will assume it’s from the Anonymous Galactic Research Board Whose IP Licensing Policy Prohibits Your From Citing Us By Name Because We Prefer to Peacefully Float In Space Like Those Rasta Dudes in William Gibson Books But The Good Early Ones Not The Weird In The Present Ones Except For the Blue Color of Bigend’s Suit Which Was Actually Pretty Cool - But Cuban Parkour Ninja Cults? Boy.) See also: Turns out Pareto was some kind of every single study ever genius. Shut it down, boys, turns out every survey result ends up in an 80/20 split. As ever, this topic vexes me. I take lock-in to mean: I don’t want to keep paying this rent-seeker, aka, “maintenance contracts - AMIRIGHT?.” I’m just interested in paying less. If you gave me a closed source offering that was free, I’d be just as happy. I don’t want to get trapped in an aging stack that isn’t evolving (e.g., I want to use node.js on UNIVACs, or something), so I need “the freedom to leave” to get the benefits of new technologies. I like having the source code for transparency, to make my own forks, and/or because rainbows and sandals. Like, seriously, what options do you have to move to? DIY stack - you’re going to take the IBM/Red Hat stack and run it all on your own, merging in new releases and patches, even forking and evolving it yourself. Will all the IBM stuff be available? What if you run on VMware or Azure or Softlayer? How do you rebuild that entire stack? So you just want to rebuild a little bit of it? If you throw OpenStack with KVM in there, plus whatever SDN and storage stuff you could get in open source, throw in some OSS network routing…you could get away with the only proprietary thing being chips and other rando hardware things. You’ll need some bare-metel BIOS/firmware update things. Begged question: how far (and up!) the stack do you want to be un-proprietary? Only use OSS Android on jail-broken phones? No iPhones, clearly, and toss out Safari, macOS, and Windows - maybe you can cruise in with some HTML5 stuff through Firefox and Chrome on the desktop and mobile, then on some Eclipse for GUIs? AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, AzureStack, Pivotal ready stack with VMware - perhaps you could take the thin k8s and PaaS layer from the Red Hat IBM stack and move it to those clouds? Will that work? Is it better, economically and innovation roadmap-ally than just sticking with IBM/Red Hat Alibaba and the other non-Western clouds. Same. MSPs like Rackspace. Maybe - the Rackspace people could just run whatever you want. See concerns of #1, plus the premium paid for “fanatical.” Maybe Rackspace has some SRE magic that allows them to do what you’d be doing at 80% of the cost, or something. I don’t understand this reasoning. How is IBM + Red Hat lack of “proprietary nature”? If I’m running an IBM/RedHat stack, can I just move off all my workloads over night, paying nothing to move and then run my workloads, like, perfectly? If I’m running on that stack, and then I want to move to Google Cloud, does that work? Where-else would I go? Can I just take my pods and throw them onto Azure? Also, if any of these are practically true - it’s a shitty business for IBM/Red Hat to be in, at least a huge risk for them to carry. Any time a customer cashes in on freedom to leave, that’s lost revenue to IBM/Red Hat. My point is: I wish we’d stop talking about lock-in and focus on more practical matters, namely, does the technology work, does it work in a good ecosystem/community (I can find and make it work with other stuff), does it evolve/innovate at a pace I like, and am I happy with the initial and ongoing costs. If the answer to all of those is yes, I don’t think people care about OSS versus closed. But what do I know, I don’t know such stuff, I just do slides. What really matters is getting the two sales forces to sell each other’s stuff, esp. accelerating OpenShift. The IBM sales force has to sell moving away from their traditional offerings (WebSphere, 3 tier, etc.) and instead sell modernizing to OpenShift. That’s fine, but a lot to ask. Also, the comp. plans might get dicey. Part of the point of modernizing is to reduce costs, implying a lower up-front deal-size and smaller ongoing deal-size. So, you’re asking the IBM rep to sell cheaper products, potentially. And if you’re not, see lock-in screed above on pricing. There’s not much upside to sales people here, aside from maybe holding onto an eroding market, but that’s years out, sales people are short-term focused by design. Red Hat sales people might fare better because they’re used to that deal size and can sell more; however, IBM sales people will resist these Red Hat people getting into their account and snatching their paper. All of this is not a killer, but likely the bulk of work that needs to be nailed to synergize maximally (my favorite type of synergizing).

Larry Ellison gave his Oracle Openworld keynote on Monday and of course he took several shots sat AWS. In his view, his company's cloud products were cheaper, better and faster than AWS, but then what would you expect him to say? He rolled out a slide with all the facts and figures in case you doubted it. He wrapped it up in a neat little marketing package for the world to see. Oracle has an autonomous self-healing database. AWS? Nope. That much he's right.

There’s all sorts of cloud stuff coming out of Oracle OpenWorld this week, so Brando and Coté talk about the mouth-feel of the news. Related, Amazon’s attempts to get off Oracle in Ohio, iCloud dropping out, and JEDI problems. Sponsored by SolarWinds This episode is sponsored by SolarWinds and this week SolarWinds wants you to know about their DevOps tool: AppOptics. Today, there is a divide between application and infrastructure health metrics—and the lack of unified dashboards, alerting, and management. With SolarWinds AppOptics you get a bird’s-eye view across all your resources on a single pane of glass—but can also drill quickly into the details. AppOptics includes built-in integrations for over 150 cloud-first applications, instant visibility into server and infrastructure performance, robust custom metrics dashboards, and automated APM request tracing. It’s SaaS-hosted, easy to manage, and budget friendly. Over 275,000 customers trust SolarWinds for the performance data they need, and AppOptics lets developers and operations get back to doing what they love: delighting users.

Ellison makes convincing pitch on automation and security for Oracle Cloud 2.0...but can’t resist trashing AWS (https://diginomica.com/2018/10/22/oracle-openworld-2018-ellison-makes-convincing-pitch-on-automation-and-security-for-oracle-cloud-2-0-but-cant-resist-trashing-aws/amp/) Kurt’s summary of Oracle cloud stuff (https://diginomica.com/2018/10/24/oracle-openworld-2018-making-the-cloud-friendly-for-enterprises-that-distrust-cloud/), pretty good. Coté: Look, I don’t really know their portfolio well. It’s hard to follow cause it doesn’t show up in all my feeds like, well, everything else. I’m intrigued by their emphasis on performance and (to a lesser extent) cost. They really hit up the performance characteristics - I’m not sure they mention ease of use or “outcomes” very much. The focus on security (https://diginomica.com/2018/10/23/oracle-openworld-2018-the-iaas-security-story/) is bizarre. Not because they shouldn’t have these things, but because these things are, well, what they should have. Cloud vendors don’t go around chest thumping about how secure they are in the same way that bakers don’t go around chest thumping about how their food is edible. Performance pitching has always been Oracle’s thing (as those of us who used to read printed trade rags know (https://www.google.fr/search?q=Oracle+vs.+sun+ads&tbm=isch&tbs=rimg:Cct5Jmsu4-qNIjgq2wpB3sF3r_1pjEdCkZ1fAi3Xg3Y7F6SdwqDwrrXU_18_1gYTP9ZrXyNCJH93AlHRe5Sgjj3AlJuNCoSCSrbCkHewXevEY5MaxXMYSooKhIJ-mMR0KRnV8ARGteHXdYot7EqEgmLdeDdjsXpJxEudUWno7A7hCoSCXCoPCutdT_1zEV2S9aFgvsWIKhIJ-BhM_11mtfI0RDKnCqovVg_1cqEgkIkf3cCUdF7hEHpSQHkysqZSoSCVKCOPcCUm40EW3myYJY_1IlP&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiPh4j4tp_eAhWDx4UKHXGCD0IQ9C96BAgBEBg&biw=1680&bih=917&dpr=2)). It’s sort of indicative of easier sales: it’s all numbers in a spreadsheet, then you sort a column and it tells you which vendor to pick. Then there’s Oracle commentary on Amazon of how hard it is to move off Oracle, just barely wrapping itself in the mantle of “because our stuff works better,” when at the core it seems like the worst case of lock-in rent-seeking: ‘Oracle Chairman and co-founder Larry Ellison (https://www.cnbc.com/larry-ellison/) isn't buying it. On the company's earnings call in December, Ellison said Amazon "is not moving off of Oracle." He reiterated his point at an August event (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/07/larry-ellison-says-it-will-be-really-hard-for-amazon-not-to-use-orac.html), saying, "I don't think they can do it. ‘They've had 10 years to get off Oracle, and they're still on Oracle," he said. "And it's not going to be easy for them to use their own technology. It's not going to be cost-effective. I mean, it's really, really hard.’ ☞ This kind of talk is why we all love to hear “Larry” (as everyone calls him) talk. He’s like the Steve Banon of the IT industry. They should start demo’ing at DevOpsDays and O’Reilly conferences more. Topic: when pitching to “the community” is irrelevant, or, “CIOs don’t go to your shit conferences, nerds.” Now, to put me further out on on the ledge of not knowing Oracle well, they sell a shit-ton of ERP software. They could likely have a larger, positive impact on global productivity by making that ERP software better, no matter how good it is. In the coverage I’ve read, there’s little talk about how they’re revolutionizing ERP stuff - how “machine learning” is improving that. Can it figure out how to file expenses for me? Optimize a supply chain (what ever the fuck that means), etc.? For example, Oracle has the potential to turn all that Watson talk intro practical, everyday applications of “AI.” IBM doesn’t have an ERP suite (they just have re-selling and packaging other people’s stuff injected with Watson thingies - again, whatever the fuck that means) - but Oracle does, plus the foot-print of people using it. I’m sure there’s plenty of money in databases…but their potential to improve their customer’s life is probably more in apps. Diginomica had some ERP coverage: Park Hotels going from analog to digital in accounting (https://diginomica.com/2018/10/24/park-hotels-and-resorts-makes-the-cloud-its-destination-of-choice/), and an excellent example from Red Cross work on improving outcomes (https://diginomica.com/2018/10/24/american-red-cross-equips-volunteers-with-mobile-app-for-disaster-relief/). And then back to our regularly scheduled price/performance (https://diginomica.com/2018/10/24/oracle-openworld-2018-wells-fargo-and-halliburton-reap-the-benefits-of-consolidating-on-oracle-exadata/) talk. Kurt has some good, dry lines: Burn-town: “[Oracle’s] Cloud 2.0 looks more like Cloud 0.5” compare to: “My project look like science fair, your project look like section 8.” (https://genius.com/8200581) Amazon's move off Oracle caused Prime Day outage in big Ohio warehouse, internal report says (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/23/amazon-move-off-oracle-caused-prime-day-outage-in-warehouse.html) “The outage, which lasted for hours on Prime Day, resulted in over 15,000 delayed packages and roughly $90,000 in wasted labor costs, according to the report. Those costs don't include all the lost hours spent by engineers troubleshooting and fixing the errors or any potential lost sales.” I assume Amazon has saved much more than that by moving off Oracle. Meanwhile, downtime effects us all: Apple iCloud down for (gasp!) hours (https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/23/18016512/apple-icloud-find-my-iphone-service-disruption-outage)!

Once you reach that number, each additional member reduces effectiveness by 10%.” Cloud Foundry Cult (https://clients.451research.com/reportaction/95834/Toc?ref=Email%3Amis): “The users we spoke with didn't just see it as a PaaS – it was the underlying philosophy of application delivery and management upon which future developments would be based. The Foundation claims Cloud Foundry saves, on average, 10 weeks of development time and $100,000 per app development cycle. In fact, in its own survey, 92% of users cite cross-platform flexibility as important. If these panelists are gaining such benefits, it's easy to understand why they are so enamored with it.” 300 VMs per admin is the magic number (https://clients.451research.com/reportaction/95810/Toc?ref=Email%3Amis): “Private clouds owned and self-managed by enterprises can be cheaper than public cloud. The magic number to beat is about $25 per VM-month at 100% utilization. If the cost of the whole stack comes in under this number, then even with the addition of labor to manage that private cloud, it should be cheaper than public cloud. Obviously, with better labor efficiency, unit costs versus public cloud are lowered further, and the relative value of benefits increases. Enterprises unable to achieve a labor efficiency of 300 VMs per engineer are unlikely to beat public cloud on price. ”Partially managed clouds have good economics. If an enterprise is able to manage just the datacenter element of a private cloud at a ratio of at least 400 VMs per engineer, that cloud may cost less to operate than fully managed alternatives. We believe enterprises could easily beat this ratio.” Related (https://www.networkworld.com/article/3313319/private-cloud/private-cloud-spending-is-increasing-not-decreasing.html): “Of that, private cloud spending [on hardware] reached $4.6 billion, an increase of 28.2 percent year over year. That's a significant increase, but not as great as the jump in spending on public cloud IT infrastructure, which was $10.9 billion, a 58.9 percent year-over-year growth.” Conferences, et. al.

Thomas Kurian, President of Product Development at Oracle is taking a leave of absence. Kurian has been at Oracle since 1996, in his email address to employees his leave hints at being more permanent than temporary, and with Oracle OpenWorld just weeks away, it can be assumed he will be absent for the event. Kurian was responsible for Oracle's move to the Cloud and with poor Cloud financials last quarter it could be speculated there's a correlation.

Kash Iftikhar, VP of IaaS, for Oracle's Public Cloud Services business, talks cloud and data center strategy in an interview at Oracle OpenWorld 2017 in San Francisco.

One of my favorite conferences of the year this week with Oracle Openworld, mainly because Oracle is a company that competes in a variety of business application categories. And they do have apps for the higher end of the SMB space. Unfortunately I was unable to attend this year, but very fortunate to speak with Suhas Uliyar, Oracle’s VP of Bots, AI and Mobile Strategy. With artificial intelligence, bots and voice-first devices being three of the hottest topics today, I was glad Suhas took some time to share his thoughts on how customer engagement is being shaped in realtime by these technologies

In this special episode, Dan and Kyle share predictions for PeopleSoft announcements at OpenWorld 2017.

Two weeks of NFL football is in the books and it's clear Blaine Gabbert is not that good. As for the Raiders, are expectations too high or is their coaching staff not getting it done? Castaneda and Steinmetz talk about how the 49ers absolutely look like a more well-coached football team but, sadly, there's not a lot of talent on that team. The Raiders have talent but do they have the right head coach to maximize it? The boys dissect a little sports journalism, too, getting into whether or not Trent Baalke is Trent Dilfer's mouth piece and whether that's any different from a media member with a cozy relationship with a source.  Also ... The Giants are fading, the Warriors' season is right around the corner and Oracle Open World is making a mess of San Francisco.

But it all starts with a bit on San Fransisco, and Sam breaking his foot. Fun!

Drop me a line via email kay.williams@madora.co.uk Is Oracle starting to wake up to the demand of its users for more cloud capabilities and flexible licence models? With recent announcements in Oracle OpenWorld 2014, is Oracle starting to wake up to the demand of its users for more cloud capabilities and flexible licence models? Oracle’s core business has, like many of the larger enterprise software companies been focused on selling software designed to run on premise and charging a flat fee for the licenses and typically an annual support and maintenance fee. Over the last fifteen years we have seen a number of application providers providing access to their application via subscription models that do not require the purchase of any infrastructure – database, application servers, operating systems, networking or and hardware servers. Although Larry Ellison has in the past been quick to poo poo cloud computing he has clearly woken up to the industry shift. “We have a new, much-upgraded cloud platform,” Ellison said to his key note speech on the 28th September. “We are just getting started. We launched our real platform this month.” Previously the only options for customers to run Oracle in the cloud on a true subscription basis was via Amazon or Azure. Oracle will “have the same pricing as Amazon or any other infrastructure provider,” Chairman Larry Ellison said at the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco. Oracle has seemed to be behind in many ways with regards to providing utility or SaaS type pricing. Sure Oracle would argue that Fusion Apps have been available for a while and the cloud application portfolio is increasing all the time. However most customers still run ‘on the premise applications’ which are fundamentally different than the Fusion Apps which were written from scratch for the cloud. It is these traditional ERP/CRM/SCM legacy applications that present a number of problems for customers: Licensing metrics are often not clear. It does not allow for the growth or decline of the business. It does not allow for spikes or seasonal peaks. It does not lend itself for innovation, testing of new concepts. It does not allow a trial to review business benefits or ROI. So what about customers that have written their own apps running on Oracle or use vendor apps based on Oracle? Many want to pay for Oracle technology licences as a subscriptions whether on premise on their own kit or on the cloud.Clearly Oracle is moving this way with enhancements to its PaaS services. See https://cloud.oracle.com/database The fully ‘Oracle managed’ Oracle database is yet to make an appearance but pricing is available for a number of options. For example the client managed option for High Performance Enterprise Edition is $4,000 / Month per OCPU. This sounds high but it does include a large number of management, testing and security database options. The pricing is also available by the hour so it is absolutely possible to use this for testing, development or backup. It’s per OCPU – not sure what that really means. When I get a better idea I will let you know. Where I see the real opportunity is for the duel running of new systems. Previously the only real option for customers to run new systems in parallel for a period before switch over was to buy 1 year term licenses in order to remain compliant. Cloud Alternatives The current alternatives to Oracle’s cloud services are Amazon http://aws.amazon.com/oracle/ or Microsoft’s Azure. Amazon Web Services and Oracle Amazon RDS for Oracle allows you to bring your own licences or use Oracle included licences. Costs start from 0.04 USD per hour for the on-demand licence included option which means that running an oracle application really is more affordable than ever. Bring you own licence starts at 0.025 USD. There does appear to be one downside of the licence included option and that is the database is Standard Edition 1. This could mean that applications that use Enterprise option will not be able to take advantage of this. While this may not provide the licence subscription desirable for most enterprise applications, for developers this could be a more effective way to run proof of concepts. What about cannibalisation of revenues? One of the main criticisms of Oracle not being so quick to adopt subscription based licence models for Database and Middleware was the concerns about cannibalisation of its existing revenue streams. Last month in the Oracle earnings call Oracle reported fiscal first-quarter profit and sales that were below analysts’ projections. Oracle also forecast Q2 revenues and profits below estimates. Oracle is investing in its cloud division and there is a big drive within Oracle to push managed cloud services with big incentives for its sales teams. On the same call Safra Catz, Oracle co-CEO said,”As the movement to the cloud grows, we expect this transition will affect our revenue to the positive”. See full earnings transcript on Seeking Alpha.So in summary , I welcome the announcements in OpenWorld 2014. It is a good start and it should provide some alternative flexible options for customers who want a subscription based pricing. This will present some organisational challenges especially around its sales division. Sure customers are going to continue to run software on premise but do Oracle really need all those sales people? So what do you think? Does Oracle or even Amazon present a viable alternative now? Will you use it?
