Show Notes

Biggest Tech M&A of 2017 and VC Funding is down
Big Mergers: Amazon+Whole Foods; CVS+Aetna; Intel+Mobileye; AT&T+Time Warner; Disney+21st Century Fox

Storage companies are becoming HCI companies (thoughts on owning a server supply chain vs. software defined vs. commodity hardware)
Containers are becoming more mainstream - but so many misleading “surveys”
Nobody has a clear advantage in “hybrid cloud” architectures
Public cloud is a portfolio game and data acquisition game, not a cost reduction game
Building new applications is still a small % of corporate applications
There’s such a big gap between cloud releases and non-cloud releases (timeframes, updates, informing the market, etc.)

What happened to DevOps? Is it now in Phase 2 as “SRE”, or is it unobtainable?
What’s happening in China? How will it impact the rest of the Global markets?
Will AI & ML become tangible to non-Data Scientists? What’s the Fantasy Football of AI & ML, for business?
Where and how will voice technologies (Alexa, Google Home, etc.) fit in long term?
How will we track the Public Cloud tipping point?
What is Serverless most disruptive to, or is it additive to app-dev market size?
Should we track “Serverless” by the ServerlessConf or AWS events?
Should we be following “edge computing”? What are the core focus areas?

Continued decline of the middleman in all industries
Awareness of Cloud Computing “costs” becomes more mainstream
Does Security even matter anymore? What bigger events can happen?

Topic 2 - You have seen a pretty amazing transition in development platforms over the last 5-7 years. What trends made you decide to start a new company?
Topic 3 - This leads us to your most recent announcement, a Series A round and launch of Atomist. Tell everyone about Atomist. As I understand it this is a development automation platform. What problems are you trying to solve?
Topic 4 - How is Development Automation different from traditional CI/CD?
Topic 5 - What use cases are applications are your customers doing today with Atomist? Is this primarily cloud native apps and development on public cloud platforms? How are folks both consuming and creating?

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You’ve been at Chef for a couple years now, and previously at Docker (and several other emerging tech companies). Can you give us some perspective on where you see the market today in this time of rapid transitions?
Topic 2 - We both come from a technical background and found ourselves customer facing and eventually on the business and marketing side. How has that transition been and what motivated you to make the change?
Topic 3 - About a year ago, Chef introduced Habitat, which was a fairly large “re-think” from the previous Chef platforms, which was more focused on SysAdmin / Ops teams. Give you give the audience an overview on Habitat, for anyone that’s not familiar with the basic concepts?
Topic 4 - Sometimes people will say that the existing Config Management tools are no longer needed now that we have containers, since they describe everything within their tools / files. How might you respond to those types of arguments?
Topic 5 - A few weeks ago Chef introduced Habitat Builder. How does this differ from Habitat?
Topic 6 - We see that Habitat is now supporting integration with platforms like Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes. How are you seeing the uptake of those platforms in the market, or what’s driving their adoption?
Topic 7 - As you’re engaging with more companies that are building Cloud Native applications, what are some of the things they do that make them successful with these new apps, new operational models, new types of IT cultures?

Show Notes

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. We’ve known you for a while as being heavily involved in Cloud since the early days, but you’ve been involved with AI and ML for quite a while now too. Tell our audience about your background and what you’re up to today.
Topic 2 - Is there a difference between AI and ML? What are some good examples of each?
Topic 3 - Let’s start with the basics. AI and ML always get talked about as a spectrum between basic things we all live with (like Google doing an auto fill on a search) to the scary SkyNet, Terminator stuff. Where are we on the maturity curve of AI and ML?
Topic 4 - What are some of the key technology elements that people should be aware of with AI and ML? Do we make a mistake by mentioning them today (e.g. AI and ML), and are they very different?
Topic 5 - Can we talk about data and data models/set and data gravity as it relates to AI and ML? Do you bring the data to the engine, or the engine to the data? How do companies deal with this today?
Topic 6 - AI and ML also have the ability to have major societal impacts on our work, from jobs to human privacy to better access to healthcare or studying global warming. Can you talk about how this interaction of technology and human interests is being covered in the press & media?
Topic 7 - Beyond listening to your show each week, what are some good resources for listeners to go learn about AI and ML?

Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show. Hard to believe it’s been over a year since you were last on talking about Docker. How has the container market changed, from your perspective, over the last year?
Topic 2 - You recently wrote “The Kubernetes Book”. Give us the cliff notes version of what readers will learn from the book?
Topic 3 - As you were researching this book (and your trainings around the topics), what things did you learn about Kubernetes that you’d like to use as an Admin/Ops or Developer?
Topic 4 - Docker recently announced intentions to add Kubernetes support to DockerEE. Given Docker’s history of wanting to control their technology, are you surprised they are adding Kubernetes support?
Topic 5 - Do you think their customers will care that Docker has limited contributions to Kubernetes, in terms of supporting it for the Enterprise in the long-run?
Topic 6 - Have you had a chance to dig into how Docker is going to implement this dual-scheduler architecture? Do you think that Docker eventually depreciates Swarm?
Topic 7 - What advice do you have for people trying to learn about containers and Kubernetes?

Topic 1 - Welcome back, it’s been about a year. Are you surprised at how much Prometheus has taken off since you first created it at SoundCloud?
Topic 2 - Prometheus 2.0 is now available (or soon shipping). What are the major things that are new in this release?
Topic 3 - What are some of the best practices you’ve found in deploying Prometheus in production?
Topic 4 - What are the biggest lessons learned, or things you wished you’d have known back then?
Topic 5 - Does Prometheus have a role in some of these emerging “service mesh” technologies like linkerd or Istio, that are trying to add more intelligence into application routing patterns?

Show Notes

Topic 1 - Ken, welcome back to the show. Andrew, welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your backgrounds and what attracted you to go work for Rubrik?
Topic 2 - So in the last 12-14 months, Rubrik has taken $240M+ ($292M total) in VC funding and is adding 100s of people per quarter. I thought the days of VC investment in non-cloud infrastructure companies was over. What’s going on?
Topic 3 - Let’s talk about Rubrik’s core architecture and why it’s so different from what companies have used in the past?
Topic 4 - How much are people using the public cloud as a storage destination, and what has to happen differently to get data into the public cloud vs. what has to happen in a local data center?
Topic 5 - With Rubrik’s different architecture (software-centric, distributed processing, etc.), what new best-practices are starting to emerge?
Topic 6 - From what I can see, Rubrik is mostly focused on VM-centric environments. Any plans to get into container-centric environments?
