Looking back on 2022—what we saw, and what it means for cloud Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

The past year has been a mixed bag for cloud. Certainly, there have been positives like the rise of supercloud and metacloud to help reduce complexity, the growth of observability to provide deeper operational insights, and an increase in cloud native development. However, cloud has also been beset by rising costs, complexity, and other challenges. David Linthicum provides his insight and analysis on all these topics—and more—in his review of 2022.

Cloud can drive innovation, but only if you rein in sprawl and complexity Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

Small, cloud-native companies can profoundly disrupt their larger, less-flexible competitors via agility and innovation, but cloud complexity still looms for both large and small enterprises. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with cloud influencer Ian Moyse about how any company—no matter its size—can leverage cloud to move quickly and innovate faster. However, it's essential to reduce cloud complexity and sprawl to achieve a lean cloud ecosystem that drives innovation.Small, cloud-native companies can profoundly disrupt their larger, less-flexible competitors via agility and innovation, but cloud complexity still looms for both large and small enterprises.

Architecting and optimizing cloud for the entire enterprise Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

Many of the problems organizations have with realizing cloud ROI and value stem from an architecture that isn't optimized for the overall business strategy, but instead for particular solutions or narrow business goals. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Red Hat's E.G. Nadhan about how companies can take a collaborative approach to ensure that their architecture is built and optimized to reflect the strategy of the business as a whole, not just a sum of its parts.

Building the modern cloud with innovation, sustainability, and open source Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

Cloud is undergoing a philosophical and technical renaissance. Innovation and disruption have become driving goals for cloud implementation. Sustainability isn't just a buzzword anymore, and the idea of super or metacloud, fueled by open source, is gaining force across the cloud universe. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with IBM's Roger Premo about this paradigm shift in cloud and how it's driving companies to change the way they think about cloud now and in the future.

Developing a product mindset to build apps at the pace of cloud Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

Though the concept of a "product mindset" isn't new, over the past decade—with the ascendance of cloud—it has really started to gain traction as a better way to build cloud apps, or any app or system. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with Twilio's Anthony Lazaro about what a product mindset is, how companies can leverage it to build apps that generate high ROI for the organization, and how to develop a product mindset and culture to build apps at the pace of cloud.

Observability isn't a bolt-on; it's an integral part of the cloud ecosystem Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

Observability is a huge help to organizations in solving systems performance issues, but some still see it as a bolt-on. In this episode David Linthicum talks with Dynatrace's Michael Allen and Deloitte's Jay McDonald about why that isn't so. The trio also discusses why companies should view Observability as a holistic process that can be built as code into every facet of their cloud ecosystem—from infrastructure, to apps, to security, to governance, to compliance, and more.

Mediating cloud complexity with abstraction and automation Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

Most organizations that have moved to a multi-cloud architecture have experienced cloud complexity. In this podcast, David Linthicum tackles the complexity issue and gives advice to mediate it. According to David, abstraction and automation are essential. First, deploy an abstraction layer above and across cloud platforms for tasks like operations, security, governance, and configuration management.. Then, automate as many of those processes—especially operations—as you can.

Reducing the pain of multi-cloud management, now and in the future Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

Multi-cloud is here to stay, but for all its benefits there are hefty challenges too, such as complexity, heterogeneity, and inconsistent operations. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with VMware's Richard Munro about the many challenges of multi-cloud and how to solve them – now and in the future. Richard's take is that right now, companies need to use cross-cloud services for more consistency. The future will be about edge computing, better data management, and decentralization.
