You love Kubernetes, right? I don’t use it personally because that’s not my job, but when I talk to someone who does, the experience they describe sounds nothing less than fabulous. By automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized apps, it has eliminated a lot of the repetitive…

If you tune in to Cloud Unfiltered on a regular basis, you know that we touch on the subject of serverless technologies fairly frequently. But the key word there is “touch.” We mention it, I reliably tease Pete about his enthusiasm for it, then we spend two or three minutes (max) discussing an eleme…

Have you noticed that when cloud people talk about cloud they (we) stick to a fairly narrow range of topics? Containers (for sure), Kubernetes, OpenStack, DevOps, culture change, big data, cloud native, serverless…and maybe a little AI/ML now and then to keep things spicy? Sure, we cover different a…

I suspect that most of us take our local tech meetups for granted. I mean, I don’t know what it’s like where you live, but I’m in Southern California, and I could attend them seven days a week if I wanted without even breaking a sweat.

Kata, Kata, Kata! I swear that was all I heard during the week of the very recent OpenStack Summit in Vancouver. I was not in attendance this time (nor the previous time), but I’m an OpenStack enthusiast, I make an effort to stay current on what’s happening with it, and I had never even…

Do you ever wish you could just bring someone in that would tell you how to do this whole cloud thing right? A person with the expertise to explain where you should focus your energy, which technologies you should adopt, and how to change your company culture? Someone who already knows where the pot…

What’s the automation situation at your company? Do you feel like you guys have a handle on it? Like you’re automating the right things and using the right tools? Like you know what you want to automate next? I’m guessing that you probably do, but even so, I encourage you to tune in to this week’s e…

Are you clear on the difference between Cisco’s Tetration and AppDynamics offerings? Yes, they are both extraordinarily powerful monitoring tools. But do you know what they actually monitor? And would you know how to use them together if you needed to? If the answer to any of those questions is “No,…
