In Search of Certainty - Complex Systems in IT
A podcast series where Mark Burgess (@markburgess_osl ) and John Willis (@botchagalupe) discuss futuristic concepts of IT. Mark has a PHD in physics among other things and I barely finished high school. We, therefore, seem to make an unlikely pair for discussion. However, we have found over the years our discussions on such subjects make for great dialog (at least we enjoy it). We have decided to see if other's agree.

In this podcast, Mark and I takeon the ever popular SDN (Software Defined Networking). We start out with a little bit of history but we quickly jump into the idea that ... possibly SDN was a little ambitious in their attempt to wrap "certainty" around a very uncertain challenge. We also discuss some of the work Mark did around my Socketplane startup and work off one of his blog posts (below). Before warned we are little harsh on the current day implementations of SDN.

This podcast is very long.... This is a continuation of the last podcast explaining the history of confugration management. As always we get into complexity and a little bit of physics.
