The power and scope of distributed cloud can’t be understated. It allows our technology – essentially everything connected to the internet or housing our data – to run more reliably and efficiently. But as its power continues to grow, how do we balance its scope with our real needs and our efforts at conservation and morality? Two experts, engineer Malini Bhandaru and author Joe Weinman, dive into the history of cloud computing, its current role in the ever-expanding Internet of Things, and its increasingly complicated future.   Key Takeaways: [1:22] What is distributed cloud and why does it matter? Malini helped write the origin story of today’s cloud computer servers and saw the benefit of sharing resources long before working with server solutions was cool. [3:36] We like to have things as a service. Joe weighs in on the power of making computer power as ubiquitous as possible. [5:25] Speed is a critical component of compute power, and it has a significant impact on businesses trying to compete for customer loyalty. [6:02] Compute power in the cloud increased its reliability in the face of natural disasters, allowing the data to go to another server. This resilience will be critical for companies as they prepare for future disruptions in the face of climate change. [6:57] On the reverse side, data and compute processing also has a great impact on climate change as some operations glut energy resources relative to their size. Joe examines the examples of blockchain technologies and bitcoin mining. [7:55] Machine learning is greedy for data, especially in deep neural networks. Malini’s advice is to identify the value of the work relative to the cost involved. [8:16] Cloud providers are making an extremely conscious effort to be net-zero. Joe advises caution regarding maximizing the efficiency and utilization of the public cloud and shares global examples of using renewable energy. [9:54] We can be smarter about our smart devices — do we really need to communicate with our washing machines and refrigerators? [10:37] What exactly is the Fog? Also referred to as edge computing, Joe describes it as compute storage and network security resources on virtually every street corner, something that will become more and more essential as we reach close to a trillion devices around the world. [13:08] The internet of things makes fast access to servers necessary — the devices that keep us moving and connected only work because of the cloud. [15:40] As connected clouds are collecting data, processing it and communicating with one another, a fertile space for AI learning is developing. From farm fields saliva samples, collected data makes information innovative, mobile, and dynamic. [18:50] With distributed cloud and edge technology, we have the power to change the world. But are we ready for the responsibility that comes with it? [20:16] Malini weighs in on the positive changes that have come with edge computing.  Maybe this is the answer to fossil fuels, climate change, and a faster more resilient connection for everyone.   Quotes: [1:32] “Machine learning was something I’m interested in because it’s amazing to see how we learn and do things.” - Malini [8:10] “We have to think about the value of that work we’re doing to the cost that’s involved.” - Malini [13:22] “We have all these devices and they’re all connected and they only work thanks to the cloud.” - Joe [16:31] “Assuming that data is what feeds this beast, the data has to come from somewhere.” - Joe [18:20] “The world really will experience accelerated innovation through many of these technologies.” - Joe [20:08] “Artificial intelligence has a great opportunity to do amazing things… but there may be challenges.” - Joe [21:46] “Some women have changed the path for us and it’s our job to change the path for others.” - Malini   Continue on your journey: pega.com/podcast   Mentioned:   Jo Richardson Malini Bhandaru Joe Weinman James Dodkins

The far-reaching significance of distributed cloud computing ft. Malini Bhandaru and Joe Weinman

Today’s episode features an interview between Matt Trifiro and Malini Bhandaru, who leads open source IoT and Edge efforts at VMware.Malini has a Ph.D. in Machine Learning from the University of Massachusetts, and prior to joining VMware, worked on big data for autonomous driving and OpenStack for cloud infrastructure management at Intel. In this interview, Malini discusses her work in The Open Source Technology Center at VMware, the valuable role that open source plays in IoT and Edge, and interesting use cases for how Edge is solving macro problems.Key Quotes"That's the beautiful thing [about Edge] -- it's everything. It just combines everything, whether it's security, cryptography, blockchain, machine learning, or collecting sensor data that comes across to you from different protocols-- it's just everything."“By making these open source projects and a lot of the infrastructure available, you're opening the flood gates to many more adopters and many more applications and solutions coming to market sooner. ““The IoT edge market's going to grow to a trillion dollars. VMware is keeping its eye on the future when there's going to be more edge adoption and larger edges.”“The telco edge is going to be pretty beefy and it will enable applications like virtual reality and augmented reality and connected cars. Some edges are going to be very, very beefy edges with a lot of compute, a lot of knowledge, a lot of storage at that edge.”SponsorsOver the Edge is brought to you by the generous sponsorship of Catchpoint, NetFoundry, Ori Industries, Packet, Seagate, Vapor IO, and Zenlayer.The featured sponsor of this episode of Over the Edge is Vapor IO, the leader in edge computing.
