This Episode of Cloud Unfiltered is a transitional episode that introduces new hosts Michael Chenetz and Andrew Horrigan! We sadly say goodbye to host Ali Amagasu.
Ready for a juicy technical episode that doles out super-strategic advice at the same time? Excellent. Because in this half-hour Tolga explains what he meant when he said VMs are in fact becoming obsolete in a recent Forbes article. He and Pete also go deep into a discussion about whether or not "serverless first" is becoming a thing, and who serverless may not actually work for. We also talk about whether public cloud is cost effective, and what you might be doing wrong if it's not at your company; why you don't need to be worried about lock-in anymore, the right and wrong ways to move to the cloud, and the importance of embracing automation. Whew! It's a great episode. Technical goodness stacked near the front half--strategic discussion takes place in the back half. Enjoy!

This episode is truly the manifestation of our ideal "chatting with a friend over beers after a busy day at a conference" vision. Hope you enjoy the wide-ranging talk about many of the big issues that are hot in the cloud world today.
We're in the midst of an application revolution. The number of applications in the average enterprise is exploding, and at the same time those applications are more interconnected than ever. So how on earth are you supposed to monitor them all and manage them all and move the right ones to the cloud while keeping the right ones on-prem?
In this episode Cisco's own Fabio Gori shares insights about how different companies are addressing this revolution--both those that are struggling and those who have set the standard with best practices. He also explains three steps any organization can start taking right now in order to move in the right direction--no matter where they are with their application ecosystem today.
Whether you're a seasoned IT pro, a total beginner, or any of the things in-between, there is always room to learn more in this industry. Maybe you need to wrap your brain around containers--or figure out Kubernetes specifically. Maybe you want to get your Google Cloud certification, or expand your understanding of blockchain. The list of things you could choose to learn is seriously never-ending. The question (for most of us) is where do we learn it?
In this episode we chat with Christophe Limpalair and Ell Marquez of the Linux Academy about what they teach, who they teach, how they teach, and how just about anyone can get involved--for free!
This is the last session in the KubeCon series. I swear.
Agile software development has inadvertently put security in the hands of developers--for better or for worse. Do your developers know this? Do they care? How do you and your security team ensure you're shipping secure software while still moving fast?
In this episode we'll speak with Guy and Gareth about how we got where we are when it comes to security, which roles developers and the security team should play, and how to build security tools into the developer workflow in a way that is seamless.

How do you make the right decisions about moving to the cloud when there are over half a million SKUs in AWS alone? In this week's episode, Jeff Aden of 2nd Watch explains how AWS has changed, how moving to the cloud is helping some companies save a LOT of money, and where the cost savings opportunities are for others that haven't made the move yet.
Yes, companies are still doing it. They're moving to the cloud--or continuing to move to the cloud--and sometimes they need help. This week we talk with Javed Sikander about how companies in different market segments are approaching cloud differently, why they're choosing different cloud providers, which companies are asking for hybrid solutions, and how his conversations with cloud customers are different now than they were five years ago.
More than 100 billion IoT devices will be shipped over the next 4-5 years, and those devices will generate an almost unimaginable volume of data. But we can't store it all in the cloud, and there aren't enough smart people to manage it all, so what happens with it? Simon Crosby says AI at the Edge is the answer, and he explains why in this week's episode of Cloud Unfiltered.
What can AI contribute in the context of Operations? Who uses it? What do they use it for? How does it work? And does it actually mean you'll soon be replacing your Ops team with an application? We talk about this and more on Episode 75 of Cloud Unfiltered.
Joe Duffy had been a software engineer for 20 years, but when he started working with container and serverless technologies he was stunned by the amount of time he had to spend learning obscure concepts and completing repetitive manual tasks.

His main collaborator, Julio Gomez joins us as well to provide additional insight into how the project is moving forward and what problems it solves.
Some places in the world simply aren't very well served by public cloud providers. Think most of Africa. Or South America. In those places, the distance between users and the nearest data center is great enough that latency becomes noticeable--and problematic. DeepCloud AI aims to address that problem by creating a network of unused compute and storage capacity that individual companies can make available to others in exchange for financial rewards. Can it work? And how will it work? We discuss that and more with DeepCloud CTO Geeta Chaun on this week's episode of Cloud Unfiltered!
In late January, the Linux Foundation announced the formation of LF Edge--an umbrella organization to establish an open, interoperable framework for edge computing independent of hardware, silicon, cloud, or operating system. In this episode, Arpit Joshipura explains why LF Edge was needed, who it serves, which projects are anchoring it, and how edge computing impacts a wider variety of industries every day.
Establishing an easy-to-use hybrid cloud that delivers a seamless user experience is virtually impossible if you go the DIY route. But the process gets a whole lot easier--and a whole lot faster--when you do it with the help of the recently announced Cisco Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes on AWS. In this episode we speak with Matt Ferguson of Cisco's Multicloud Integrations and Solutions Group about why Cisco collaborated with AWS on this project, which use cases the solution is best suited for, how it works on the back end, how it's supported, and where you can go today to try it out for free.
