Kubernetes revolutionized the way software is built, deployed, and managed, offering engineers unprecedented agility and portability. But as Edera co-founder and CEO Emily Long shares, the speed and flexibility of containerization came with overlooked tradeoffs—especially in security. What started as a developer-driven movement to accelerate software delivery has now left security and infrastructure teams scrambling to contain risks that were never part of Kubernetes' original design.Emily outlines a critical flaw: Kubernetes wasn't built for multi-tenancy. As a result, shared kernels across workloads—whether across customers or internal environments—introduce lateral movement risks. In her words, “A container isn't real—it's just a set of processes.” And when containers share a kernel, a single exploit can become a system-wide threat.Edera addresses this gap by rethinking how containers are run—not rebuilt. Drawing from hypervisor tech like Xen and modernizing it with memory-safe Rust, Edera creates isolated “zones” for containers that enforce true separation without the overhead and complexity of traditional virtual machines. This isolation doesn't disrupt developer workflows, integrates easily at the infrastructure layer, and doesn't require retraining or restructuring CI/CD pipelines. It's secure by design, without compromising performance or portability.The impact is significant. Infrastructure teams gain the ability to enforce security policies without sacrificing cost efficiency. Developers keep their flow. And security professionals get something rare in today's ecosystem: true prevention. Instead of chasing billions of alerts and layering multiple observability tools in hopes of finding the needle in the haystack, teams using Edera can reduce the noise and gain context that actually matters.Emily also touches on the future—including the role of AI and “vibe coding,” and why true infrastructure-level security is essential as code generation becomes more automated and complex. With GPU security on their radar and a hardware-agnostic architecture, Edera is preparing not just for today's container sprawl, but tomorrow's AI-powered compute environments.This is more than a product pitch—it's a reframing of how we define and implement security at the container level. The full conversation reveals what's possible when performance, portability, and protection are no longer at odds.Learn more about Edera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Emily Long, Founder and CEO, Edera | https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-long-7a194b4/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Edera: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/ederaLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:sean martin, emily long, containers, kubernetes, hypervisor, multi-tenancy, devsecops, infrastructure, virtualization, cybersecurity, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage? Learn More

In this pre-event Brand Story On Location conversation recorded live from RSAC Conference 2025, Emily Long, Co-Founder and CEO of Edera, and Kaylin Trychon, Head of Communications, introduce a new approach to container security—one that doesn't just patch problems, but prevents them entirely.Edera, just over a year old, is focused on reimagining how containers are built and run by taking a hardware-up approach rather than layering security on from the top down. Their system eliminates lateral movement and living-off-the-land attacks from the outset by operating below the kernel, resulting in simplified, proactive protection across cloud and on-premises environments.What's notable is not just the technology, but the philosophy behind it. As Emily explains, organizations have grown accustomed to the limitations of containerization and the technical debt that comes with it. Edera challenges this assumption by revisiting foundational virtualization principles, drawing inspiration from technologies like Xen hypervisors, and applying them in modern ways to support today's use cases, including AI and GPU-driven environments.Kaylin adds that this design-first approach means security isn't bolted on later—it's embedded from the start. And yet, it's done without disruption. Teams don't need to scrap what they have or undertake complex rebuilds. The system works with existing environments to reduce complexity and ease compliance burdens like FedRAMP.For those grappling with infrastructure pain points—whether you're in product security, DevOps, or infrastructure—this conversation is worth a listen. Edera's vision is bold, but their delivery is practical. And yes, you'll find them roaming the show floor in bold pink—“mobile booth,” zero fluff.Listen to the episode to hear what it really means to be “secure by design” in the age of AI and container sprawl.Learn more about Edera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guests: Emily Long, Founder and CEO, Edera | https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-long-7a194b4/Kaylin Trychon, Head of Communications, Edera | https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaylintrychon/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Edera: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/ederaLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:emily long, kaylin trychon, sean martin, marco ciappelli, containers, virtualization, cloud, infrastructure, security, fedramp, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage? Learn More

For those that don't know, you are a long time returning guest. It's been about 7 years since the last time we spoke, and this is also the third time we've talked to you and the folks over at Platform9. Before we jump in, tell us about your background…Topic 2 - Our topic today is VMware Migrations. As we've documented many times on the podcast, VMware and its customers are in flux. Many are evaluating whether they should stay or they should go. When you speak to customers considering this, what should they consider?Topic 3 - In general we keep hearing things like VMWare ELA's that are no only on 3 year renewal and a price hike of 3x, 5x, even 10x. What are you seeing? Is this a limited window of opportunity as customers make that decision to move off or lock in for another 3 years?Topic 4 -  I see two sides to this: the business side and the tech side. I see this potentially being much harder on the technical side. While it might be possible to build a business case, the technical lock-in to the hypervisor technology tends to be a factor in conversions. Rebuilding years worth of virtual networking, storage links, etc. How do you advise customers on this today?Topic 5 - These migrations take time. Sometimes we are talking about installations in the tens of thousands of vms and and the migrations taking months to years to complete. Why would an organization go to the cost and the trouble to switch platforms?Topic 6 - Let's say an organization decides to pull the trigger. My immediate thought goes to Day1+ actions and operations. New platforms, new tools, new constructs. VMware installs tend to be very sticky because careers have been built on their product portfolio and expertise around that. Some engineers carry a large number of certifications and have a lot of money and time invested. How do you talk customers through this and help them?Topic 7 - Let's close out there. Where can our listeners go for more information?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netBluesky: @cloudcastpod.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @cloudcastpodInstagram:

There is a growing urgency for organizations to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) amidst a notable lack of readiness. A recent Cisco report reveals that while 85% of IT leaders feel they have less than 18 months to act on AI, only 13% believe they are fully prepared to harness its potential. The episode highlights the structural challenges organizations face, particularly in data management, with 80% of respondents reporting issues that hinder their AI initiatives. Despite these obstacles, companies are planning to significantly increase their IT budgets for AI over the next five years.The episode also explores various use cases of AI across different sectors. BBVA has expanded its use of ChatGPT, acquiring 3,000 licenses for OpenAI's enterprise tool, which has reportedly boosted productivity among employees. However, the bank faces challenges in integrating this technology with its existing systems. Meanwhile, Microsoft is introducing specialized AI models tailored for industries like manufacturing and agriculture, aiming to address specific operational challenges and drive adoption at scale.In the education sector, OpenAI has launched a free online course to help K-12 teachers incorporate ChatGPT into their classrooms. However, skepticism remains among educators regarding the efficacy and ethical implications of using AI tools in education. A survey indicates that a significant portion of teachers believes AI may do more harm than good, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of AI's limitations, particularly concerning privacy and data use.The episode concludes with updates on VMware and Intel, noting the challenges both companies face in the current market. VMware's new cloud service aims to streamline private cloud setups, while Intel's recent processor launch has not met performance expectations, leading to a reduction in federal grants under the CHIPS Act. Sobel emphasizes the opportunities for IT service providers and competitors to step in and offer value-driven solutions as these industry giants navigate their respective challenges.Four things to know today00:00 Urgency Outpaces Capability: Organizations Struggle With AI Readiness Amid Growing Demand03:34 From Banking to Farming to Classrooms: How AI is Reshaping Productivity and Operations06:56 VMware's Price Hikes and Intel's Missteps Open Doors for Competitors in Virtualization and Processors09:23 Microsoft's Recall AI, OpenAI's GPT-4o, and Anthropic's Integration Protocol Supported by:  https://www.coreview.com/msphttps://tdsynnex.com/StreamOneIon    All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
