It’s that time! Cisco Live US is next week in Orlando and among the many exciting events going on during the conference, Tech Field Day will be one of them. For the uninitiated, Tech Field Day brings together IT vendors and technical influencers (bloggers, podcasters, freelance writers, and social m…

Cisco Live in Orlando next week will be an exciting time that will include new product announcements, but as a preview, I wanted to share a demo I’ve been working on with my friends in Enterprise Networking that involves the intersection of serverless and edge computing: We’re looking fo…
