Episode 416: Exchange your “Buddy Bucks” for Nagios

Get ready for a weekly dose of all things Enterprise Software and Cloud Computing! Join us as we dive into topics including Kubernetes, DevOps, Serverless, Security and Coding. Plus, we’ll keep you entertained with plenty of off-topic banter and nonsense. Don’t worry if you miss the latest industry conference - we’ve got you covered with recaps of all the latest news from AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

In an hourlong podcast they talked about the topic for about 10 minutes. Lots of rambling off-topic conversation. I had to turn it off and unsubscribe because I couldn’t take it anymore.

Way too long

Always an insightful, witty, and fun. Great at delivering hot takes on industry trends and happenings. Having done my own podcast for some time, it’s hard to deliver weekly content that is consistently strong, but this show seems to be consistently good. Also BBQ.

Witty, insightful, and relevant

Episode 172: The Mainframe Strangler

We try to discern the strategy behind two acquisitions this week: Broadcom buying CA and AT&amp;T buying AlienVault. Seems fine. Meanwhile, you get to join conversation as we talk about how much different product management seems at cloud native vendors than traditional, “enterprise product management.” Important nonsense  Vinsanto is the Greek wine Coté was talking about. No more hot-dogs at Le Café CostCo. Coté rides a Lime scooter  Sponsored by Datadog This episode is sponsored by Datadog, a monitoring platform for cloud-scale infrastructure and applications.

Relevant to your interests  AT&amp;T to Acquire AlienVault Broadcom buying CA: Broadcom buying CA for US$18.9bn. "Mainframe solutions dominate CA’s income, pulling nearly $2.2bn in the 2017-2018 financial year, followed by its enterprise solutions segment at $1.75bn and services at $311m." Coté’s 7 tips for becoming a software company, 2016. “Wait… what?”   Basho investor to pay up $20m in damages for campaign that put biz on 'greased slide to failure'  Coté: what was Davenport’s plan to profit?  A customer complaint about Google Cloud went viral last week, and now Google is doing damage control to 'ensure this does not happen again’ The mysterious value of dancing hot dog shares, i.e., Snap: ‘You might point out that you own a share in the company that grows in value as the company does, and that right now you can sell that share on the stock exchange for $13.31. But that evades rather than answering the question: What does the person who buys the share from you expect to get from it? The value of a stock in the market is supposed to be equal to the present value of its future cash flows, and there’s nothing about the stock itself that promises you any cash flows. Or you might say that Snap’s directors and officers have a fiduciary duty to you to  maximize the profits of the company and the value of your shares, but even if that were true—it’s pretty debatable—it continues to avoid the question. If Snap made massive consistent profits for decades, it would still never have to give any money back to shareholders, and the shareholders would have no way to force it to. “I own a 1/1,258,171,112 share of a massive pile of cash,” you could say, but you could never spend it.’ Improving intranet search, always a problem:  Box buys AI thing: “a startup whose software lets users search within files across multiple work applications. Butter.ai will be shutting down its application as part of the deal.” Slack fixing search: most anything would be better than how it is now.  IT spending survey from Goldman: security, private cloud, and storage rise. Public cloud and SaaS fall, BI/analytics stays the same.  Conferences, et. al.

Meanwhile, you get to join conversation as we talk about how much different product management seems at cloud native vendors than traditional, “enterprise product management.”</p> <h1>Important nonsense</h1> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Vinsanto&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjl2eOyz5LcAhXj5IMKHaK6BkcQ_AUICygC&amp;biw=1593&amp;bih=960&amp;dpr=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vinsanto</a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Vinsanto&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjl2eOyz5LcAhXj5IMKHaK6BkcQ_AUICygC&amp;biw=1593&amp;bih=960&amp;dpr=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">is the Greek wine Coté was talking about</a>.</li> <li><a href="https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/07/10/costco-removes-polish-dog-menu/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">No more hot-dogs at Le Café CostCo</a>.</li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLpqEfnZs5Q&amp;feature=youtu.be" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Coté rides a Lime scooter</a></li> </ul> <h1>Sponsored by Datadog</h1> <p>This episode is sponsored by Datadog, a monitoring platform for cloud-scale infrastructure and applications.

Episode 141: Broadcom acquiring CA, AT&T acquiring AlienVault, the mysteries of cloud native vendor product management

Docker’s new enterprise SKUs and, once again, the open-core model. Also: IPO mania with Snap and MuleSoft. In discussion Docker EE, we start with a discussion on how socket-based pricing may seem goofy, but all pricing schemes are pretty weird, so you gotta choose one. We then try to dissect what exactly you get with the enterprise edition and conclude that we should have done more prep work. Mid-roll  Coté wrote about Java at The Register. Coté: CF Summit - June 13 to 15th, 2017 - register with the code cfsv17cote for 20%! Matt:  DevOps Melbourne March 28th Talking Compliance as Code ChefConf May 22-24 - early-bird pricing through March 31st  Coté: check out Pivotal’s DIY platform paper. tl;dr: for $7m/year with a two year on-ramp, you could build you own, or just buy Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Many of our customers have gone down this path and ended up not wanting to support the life of their own platform...which doesn’t match the pace of innovation that the Cloud Foundry community can follow.  Docker Goes Enterprise  Community Edition (CE) &amp; Enterprise Edition (EE) Version jumps from 1.13.1 to 17.03 for monthly releases, very enterprisey. Love the socket-based pricing Solomon weighs in vs. Kubernetes - what the fuck are these nerds even arguing about? TPM has some good coverage Whichard’s Maxim of Enterpriseyness: Well, they added AD support. DONE-AND-FUCKIN-DONE!  MuleSoft Prepares to IPO  Link I don’t get the proposed $100 million IPO when they took $259 million in funding. Please explain it to me.  OpenNMS on FLOSS Weekly  Open source monitoring for years and years  HashiCorp News  Making Money With Freemium “The question of how to make money from Open Source is a vexed one, with Red Hat frequently held up as the poster child of commercial open source success, yet it remains a lonely occupant of the category "Open Source Companies That Are Profitable” Good Narrative fallacy going here: "The open source products are really focused on the practitioner," McJannet said. "The enterprise products are focused on the needs of the organisation." August, 2016: “Hashimoto said HashiCorp has just finished its first 7-figure revenue quarter” Up from “triple-digit”/month in July 2015. So, whatdwegot: $2-3m run-rate?  Twitter, SnapChat &amp; Facebook  Snap IPO is leveling out. Exstensive coverage from The Economist. TAM: “The ad market is $652 billion worldwide and will hit $760 billion by 2020, research firm IDC says. Mobile-ad sales will triple — to $196 billion from $66 billion.” Where’s Steve Gillmor when you need him? See also closing plea in The Attention Merchants (book review from Coté forth coming once he finishes Chaos Monkeys): “If we desire a future that avoids the enslavement of the propaganda state as well as the narcosis of the consumer and celebrity culture, we must first acknowledge the preciousness of our attention and resolve not to part with it as cheaply or unthinkingly as we so often have.” SO ADORABLE! The SnapChat demo is good but the The Snap Company Council looks weird.  Facebook found a product but it was ugly Ben Thompson picking on Twitter  Hindsight fallacy Twitter could have been WhatsApp or Instagram or something else...   BONUS LINKS! Not covered in show. AWS S3 Outage  Good post-mortem here Tweet Tweet TIL Google supports S3 API. TIL The 11 9's of are for durability, and not availability. 99.9% is S3's monthly SLA (43 minutes downtime).  WTF Uber (...and The Rest of the Software Industry)?  Uber is Doomed Reflecting On One Very, Very Strange Year At Uber I Am An Uber Survivor Uber SVP Leaves Over Previous Sexual Harassment Allegation Waymo Sues Uber Uber Circumvents Authorities by “Greyballing”  Containers, Kubernetes &amp; AWS  Matt Asay  No More Pixel Laptops from Google  Link  “Google hasn’t backed away from laptops. We have the number two market share in the U.S. and U.K. — but we have no plans for Google-branded laptops.”  Texas Legislature Takes Action on Emojis  “although it is a nice flag”  Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.  Quote  Trump is Killing Productivity  Link She didn’t want to be “that person,” the one who is always opining on social media. But all of that changed Nov. 8.   Recommendations  Matt:  Finally a practical use for AI Warren Ellis’ Dead Pig Collector   Coté: I always forget how good Madvillian and/or MF DOOM are. I’m not smart enough to know what kind of hip-hop this it, but I like it. Also: grapes. They’re delicious!

Episode 89: The Shit Show Matrix, or, they’re following the playbook which is basically unprofitable

Eating dumplings, it turns out, is more complicated than just sticking them in your dumpling hole, as Coté found out in Bangkok thanks to a Singaporean friend. We’re live-to-tape from DevOpsDays Jakarta this episode, just Coté and Matt Ray. We discuss the Pentagon’s stubbornness of (seemingly) picking just one cloud provider for their major cloud project and then have an oddly lengthy discussion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Relevant to your interests US military says “get of my lawn, you kids” to AWS mono-usage  ‘Rival contractors complain that the winner-take-all approach favors Amazon.com Inc., the biggest supplier of cloud services. But Pentagon officials made clear they have little patience for continuing debate over the issue. In response to a question on the “rationale for a single award for this contract,” the answer posted was blunt: “This rationale is not going to be published at this time.”’  More: “It was a decision the department made based on its needs, so adding context there doesn’t benefit us.” But, actually, it’s just one pick for now: “The contract, known as JEDI -- for the the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure Cloud Program -- won’t prevent the Defense Department from working with other cloud vendors in the future.” IBM doth protest too much? Check out Bloomberg’s layman’s definition of cloud: “Cloud services -- in which computing power and storage are hosted in remote data centers run by a third-party company rather than on-site in locally owned machines -- can make it easier for large organizations to move and integrate data across different platforms, quickly expand the data storage it needs based on usage and make system-wide security upgrades to software.” Not too shabby, and it thankfully doesn’t mention THE CYBER.

Episode 174: The multi-hybrid kubernetes cloud control plan, just in time for MOM!

Docker

Why would a company buy Docker? With “near triple digit revenue,” perhaps there’s a good business model to match the interest in free, but, in turn, why would an acquirer want to pay for free? We speculate wildly, and without spreadsheets. Also, lots of people have been funded, there’s a new bundle of kubernetes releases, and we discuss t-shirts. Meet us in Austin  Get your invite — July 11th 5:30 -- Software Defined Talk -- Drinks &amp; Socializing   Important nonsense  What does it mean when you wear Thrasher t-shirt? Follow-up: duffel bags, they work. One got unzipped slightly, so probably should zip-tie the zippers.

The problem with assigning value (and, thus, price) to any piece of software/IT. So then, what did Microsoft get right? (And did they?) Also, more on Oracle’s financials.  DigitalOcean taps Citrix Systems vet to be new CEO Serverless Impacts on Business, Process and Culture  “What we are seeing with customers is that tech is coming up the hype curve pretty quickly,” said Sharples. “Microservices was a pretty quick climb, and serverless is in steeper than that.” Hot-take: “Wow, just replace each instance of ‘serverless’ with ‘rails,’ and you have a great mid-2000s moment.”  Realtime follow-up: does this mean that Wardley is now DHH?   WTF? The data behind Microsoft's surprising open source track record  “Microsoft may have a mixed history with open source, but today the company is demonstrating some impressive traction when it comes to open source community contributions. If we are to judge the company on its recent actions, the data shows what Satya Nadella said in his announcement about Microsoft being “all in on open source” is more than just words.”  Microsoft starts outlining its Visual Studio 2019 plans  Docker Depot  Docker seeks Golden State burnish for cloud container expansion Docker CEO Steve Singh says container company is approaching “triple digit” millions in bookings DockerCon Takeaways 8 surprising facts about real Docker adoption ## Kubernetes Korner Introducing VMware Kubernetes Engine™ (VKE) - VMware Cloud Community, and in The Register.

Episode 223: What’s a Terraform?

There's tell that some people just look at containers as a cheaper way to virtualize, eschewing the fancy-lad "cloud-native stuff." We discuss that idea, plus "the enterprise cloud wars," and also our feel that Slack is actually a really good tool and company. Old folk jokes  Steve Gillmor Grandpa walking in and out of Simpson's. "The Southern Cross"  Follow-up  No call yet from papercall JJ says when you SSH into a container then you are doing lightweight virtualization. I ask is this really a bad thing? Check it out on Coté Show #21. It was Hooch, Turner was the human. Coté: follow-up, my DevOpsDays Charlotte talk recording is up. Also, finally learned how to spell "Charlotte." - See it at cote.io/not-devops  Slack executes the perfect Freemium  Minimum Delight Experience vs. Minimum Viable Product Build and charge for the enterprise features required by the Fortune 500 Don't apologize that you don't support Markdown or other power user features.   Mid-roll  Coté: we're a media sponsor for DevOpsDays Baltimore, March 7th to 8th. The best how to DevOps experience in Maine this year!! Use the code SDT-BALTIMORE to get 10% off. Pivotal's sponsoring, no Coté, tho. Also, we have one free ticket to give away. If you want it, write us a review in iTunes and email us up that you did so, and we'll semi-randomly select a winner.  Coté: Come see me talk at the Austin Cloud Meetup, Feb 22nd Matt:  DevOps Melbourne March 28th Talking Compliance as Code ChefCon, May 22nd to May 25th, in Austin, Texas. Matt Ray will be there, and we'll likely record a "live-to-tape" episode.  Coté: check out Pivotal's DIY platform paper. tl;dr: for $7m/year with a two year on-ramp, you could build you own, or just buy Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Many of our customers have gone down this path and ended up not wanting to support the life of their own platform...which doesn't match the pace of innovation that the Cloud Foundry community can follow. Check out http://softwaredefinedtalk.com/diyplatform.  Jassy Talks About the Competition  Pretty amazingly candid interview for the say nothing company "I don't think in our wildest dreams we ever thought we'd have a six- to seven-year head start" When people say lock-in, it's dog-whistling for "Oracle."  BONUS LINKS! Not covered in show. AI &amp; the Middle Class  Link "If current trends continue, people are going to rise up well before the machines do." "He also argued that these trends are reversible, that improved education and a greater emphasis on entrepreneurship and research can help feed new engines of growth"... we (the US) are so screwed Coté: I keep going back to McKinsey saying 70% of work is menial; I'm sure that "study" is wonky and loaded, but still, we do so much bullshit in daily work. Another example: several Pivotal customers (Allstate, HCSC) say they usually get 40%+ productivity improvements because they stop going to meetings and actually code 7 hours a day instead of bullshit. Grim. Really, really, really grim.  2017 Worldwide Software Developer Salaries  Move to Austin if you want some of that sweet, botton-line margin. "In Austin, the average salary for a software engineer on Hired is $110K. But this is the equivalent to making $198K in San Francisco when you consider the cost of living difference between the two cities." "...we see a similar trend in Melbourne. Even though Melbourne's average salary for software engineers is a relatively low $83K (A$107K), this is equivalent to making nearly $150K in San Francisco."  Don't Trust the Status Page  FAKE STATUS! "We cannot trust Amazon AWS status updates because the information provided to us about the severity of the issue or how quickly it will really be resolved" Reminder: https://www.whoownsmyavailability.com/  Chef Joins the CNCF  Link  Intel Rolls Out Another Generation of the Itanium  Link "HPE will, of course, support its Itanium customers for a number of years, at least until 2025"  Recommendations  Matt:  Spoon in Sydney! http://atlasobscura.com I just signed up and started looking for more fun places to check out while traveling. My wife made an entry for Tasmazia (Sub-req: Political Gabfest, The Weeds, Kara Swisher.)  Coté: "Don't tell me what to do!" Also, Bragg's and Hindenberg audio editor.

Episode 88: Docker is just cheap VMware, right?

AWS plods on with new capabilities, this time with an AI and enterprise app migration focus, plus, AI: is it actually a thing? We also discuss Microsoft acquiring Cycle Computing and how HPC fits into cloud, also what exactly HPC is and how you measure vibrations passing through a human torso. But most importantly, we’re joined by Andrew Clay Shafer in this episode, standing in for Brandon. Removing rebel-slaver memorials  Good job, Old Bay land. There’s more cities too on the case too.  You like white papers? We got white papers  Four new Pivotal white papers: CI/CD, microservices, PCI (wake up! wake up!), and The Scary Clam (BOSH). We discuss them with the co-author of all of them on this week’s Pivotal Conversations. Also, check out the Members only podcast if you like white papers, which you probably do, because you’re listening to this bullshit.  Amazon Summit NYC  There was some Amazon event this week. Anything happen? Machine learning, and such. Deep dive blog post. Interview with Amazon exec, Matt Wood. AI Winter. Maths. Also, on various industry CEOs strategamizing around Amazon. “Alexa, what’s ‘anti-trust’?”  Building out Azure HPC  Microsoft acquiring Cycle Computing. A market ready for some cash, both for HPC and analytics: “[a]ccording to 451 Research’s Voice of the Enterprise Cloud Transformation survey, 21% of data and analytics workloads will move to public clouds in the next two years”  What about the GreenButton acquisition in 2014? Peep the long piece on that from 2014. Excellent chart showing migrating COTS to SaaS, etc.   BONUS LINKS! Not covered in show Docker raising more cash-money, container land items  Lizette Chapman &amp; Eric Newcomer, Bloomberg: “HPC is about three to five years behind enterprise computing when it comes to new technology adoption – the applications are generally more sophisticated, and engineers are conservative…. Business software company Docker Inc. is raising fresh funds, valuing the company at $1.3 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.” Also, check out this ADP using Docker case, moderated by Alex Williams, pretty good: 1,000 containers in Nov 2016 to 3,771 in April 2017 (I think these were across dev and prod). MIPS rule everything around me. Docker Enterprise feature matrix:  Also, putting Oracle in a container, over there in European banking. Hold my beer platforms - It’s easy, just build out all the platform things you need yourself. Yaml all the things! Also, Bash, puppet, terraform, go for log draining(!) and more!  Bare-metal, what’s the deal?  Oracle got it. What’s Twitter got to say? “You get my deck? Let me check Outlook. Who’s doing meeting notes in Word?”  Cloud’s cool, but PowerPoint is the shit: “$25.4 billion in revenue in Microsoft’s 2017 fiscal year, an increase of 7 percent from the previous year” Hot Dog Watch Ever vigilant, we’re keeping an eye on the future. The future is stiching together videos for 360 panorama things. See the underside of The Hot Dog.

Episode 103: AI is no longer limited by the garbage that is UNIX

Microsoft will ship it’s private cloud stack, Azure Stack, in September. Will this work? Will people buy it? What could you even put in that cloud? You can feel that pull people have towards private cloud, so we’re looking forward to what happens. On a related topic, by our reckoning, kubernetes to small to have already fallen. Also: the elusive Baltimore accent, Oracle and containers, and recommendations. Meta, follow-up, etc.  Where does Matt Ray find all these stories? Patreon for this thing - like anyone who starts these things, I have no idea WTF it is, if it’s a good idea, or if I should be ashamed. Need some product/market fit. SDT Slack “Not all ‘guys.’”  Mid-roll  This episode is sponsored by Casper, who’s looking for some good senior SREs. If you’re into building out and managing infrastructure that keeps code running and makes sure you can sleep soundly at night, check out the job listing, apply, and be sure to mention that you heard about it on Software Defined Talk. According to Glassdoor reviews, it’s a damn fine place to work. You can also just email jobs@casper.com and browse all their openings at casper.com/jobs.

Matt: July 20th - DevOps Sydney July 25th - DevSecOps at RSA Conf APJ August 1st - Sydney Chef Meetup August 3rd - Auckland AWS User Community October 11th - Brisbane Azure User Group   Up there in New England  What is the Baltimore accent? Watching The Keepers, and it’s reminding me of John Water movies, but I can’t figure out the patterns of the accent. Season three of The Wire has samples.  Oracle Enters the OCI-runtime with Railcar - Oracle, the dark-horse of The Container Wars  Link Rust! Also Smith and Sidecar Oracle requires joint copyright assignment though…  Azure Stack, coming in September  Charges by consumption - how MIPS-y! “Compute charges start at .8 cents per virtual CPU per hour and go up from there, while storage starts at .6 cents per GB per hour. Those charges will be included in customers’ invoices for their overall use of Microsoft’s public cloud platform.” Hardware via partners: “The exact pricing for Azure Stack hardware, including support contracts, will be up to each individual manufacturer. Microsoft is working with Dell EMC, Lenovo, HPE, Cisco, and Huawei to make the hardware available, and the first machines should be available in September.” IDC estimates private cloud HW at $34bn or so runrate (based on 3Q2016 estimates), with 8% q/q growth. So, not too shabby there. This doesn’t include software, Microsoft’s take. Scott Guthrie: “We talked to lots of customers who said, please don’t do that [allow so much customization that it's hard to debug problems]. The model we came up with instead was to work with a large spectrum of hardware providers, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Cisco and Huawei. Those are the five largest server manufacturers in the world. They will have systems that start with three nodes, not massive big purchases, that you can unbox and plug in. And have a fully working cloud in a day or two. Regardless of whom you call, we own the whole solution.” Pivotal Cloud Foundry will run on it Microsoft has a rocky road of delivering on private cloud. But, I’d wager the get it this time. We discussed this on the most recent Pivotal Conversations, along with other delightful ephemera.  K8s Days May Be Numbered  Matt Asay strikes again! Funny how OpenStack is now a cautionary tale. See Coté’s weasly, non-position on OpenStack in his May Register column. I thought Cote’ was going to write this one up? (see below) “Whitepaper review” a la The Weeds!  You have to be careful how you read that 451 survey. On Asay’s 71%, Coté wrote: On that note, it’s easy to misread the widely quoted finding of “[n]early three-quarters (71 percent) of respondents indicated they are using Kubernetes” as meaning only Kubernetes. Actually, people are using many of them at once. The report clarifies this: “The fact that almost 75% of organizations reported using Kubernetes while the same group also reported significant use of other container management and orchestration software is evidence of a mixed market.” Read: they’re trying everything. Nothing has won yet. Proving Asay’s point, but also defanging his link-bait lead. “It seem far-fetched that Kubernetes could be heading for a fall” - there is no fall to be had because ascension hasn’t yet begin. The core base of 201 people are organizations already using containers, so it doesn’t include organizations not using containers. In a broader survey (where, presumably, not every enterprise was already using containers), of 300+ enterprises, production container use was: 19% in initial production, 8% were in broad production implementation. This isn’t to say there hasn’t been huge growth in this space, but it’s the huge growth of small numbers. This survey (though sponsored by CoreOS - I’m always suspicious of sponsored surveys, having worked on them myself!) is definitely worth paying attention to (as well as ongoing 451 and Gartner work here). Just make sure you read it right and don’t get too excited. See Coté’s Notebook for more.  (Related: I’ve been thinking we should do special, “paid members only” [in Patreon?] “whitepaper review” episodes. Because, let’s be honest: only people who liked us enough to pay would be interested in that.) Alright, now some vendor-sports: So, can a vendor be successful if they “chase” the standards? Do you need to be in OpenWhisk, and OCI shit to operate in this space? Do you need to be Java EE compliant? There may be no money in OSS, but maybe it’s the kingmaker, to steal O’Grady’s line.   BONUS LINKS! Not covered in show. Could Facebook run on AWS?  Lots of fun speculation with sizes of services and numbers of servers. From now on, this is the only content to send to people asking about running private cloud. “In the real world it clearly wouldn’t make sense for Facebook to migrate over to AWS.“ First of all... As John Willis would say, “I wanna be Ashlee Vance when I grow up.” Look at that guy: he’s kickin’ it no undershirt with the button-up style. Writes for Bloomberg, and only let’s just enough sass through in his tone to keep his broad, concise appeal but still have style that harkens back to his Register days. And he wrote that Elon Musk book. CASH MONEY! Second: “serverless is someone else’s server” manifest in 3D Third, a lot of people ask me, “Coté, how do I get a job like yours?” Writing a lot of posts like this is one answer.   Thriving in a “Post AWS World”  Link “Why You Can Have the Advantages and Still Not Win” Touches on some of the previous conversations of anti-trust, how do you operate with a Goliath in your market?  Distributions are Becoming Irrelevant  Link “The distribution users are, for most of the biggest projects, sysadmins.” Nice history of how developers and distros have long been at odds.  Coté: I recall reading this. Did I get the summary right?  gems show that people will subvert the gate-keeper of being in the distro, thus, there is no power of a distro: people will just assemble whatever they want. Docker x10’s this. Linux distro people fight too much and are, sort of, bags of dicks that are making the evolution of distros slow and further irrelevant.

Some cloud stuff we need to read-on more. Check out Coté's summary of a recent Brian Gracely post on the OpenShift momentum.  Cloud Rules Everything Around Me  As summarized by Derrick (via CNBC: AWS brought in $3.66 billion in revenue, which was up 42 percent from last year. However, year-over-year growth dropped from last year’s first quarter. Microsoft’s “Intelligent Cloud” unit, which includes Azure, grew 11 percent, to $6.8 billion. Microsoft doesn’t break out Azure revenue specifically, but said Azure saw a 93 percent increase in revenue over last year. Google Cloud is buried somewhere in “Other Bets” on Alphabet earnings, a segment that grew 50 percent to $3.1 billion.   What’s the Halo Effect on this? It’s easy to blame the big vendors for shying away from public cloud but it was some scary shit, business-case wise, back in 2008. Verizon sells cloud stuff to IBM.  Docker is now Moby, wait what?  LinuxKit - the host OS, where you run the containers. “Moby is recommended for anyone who wants to assemble a container-based system” Moby = open source development Docker CE = free product release based on Moby Docker EE = commercial product release based on Docker EE Moby is the name of the upstream umbrella project supervising the open source pieces that are used to build Docker, which is now the commercial-focused product Docker CE/EE Letter about Mobyan-open-letter-to-docker-about-moby/ Moby is Fedora, Docker is like RHEL, Eclipse, Genuitec.

Consequently, whenever AWS goes into a new region, it’s usual that three new facilities be opened rather than just one with some racks on different power domains.” “latency is not the prime driver of very large numbers of regions” “being close to population centers and major communications hubs matters to most operators more than cooling costs”  Canonical/Ubuntu priorities  Link Dropping Unity desktop and phone stuff in favor of desktop, cloud &amp; IOT  BrickerBot Bricks Unsecured IOT Devices  Link “BrickerBot the work of a vigilante?”  OmniTI Shutting Down OmniOS Development  Link Open source Solaris-compatible clone “OmniTI will be suspending active development of OmniOS”  Apple makes GarageBand, iMovie and iWork free  Link MacOS and IOS!

Just “we use multiple cloud types/providers,” or one application running across different clouds? “As part of the deal, VMware will be AWS’s preferred private cloud partner and Amazon will be VMware’s preferred partner in the public cloud.” Some MSP action: “One of the key differences between this deal and the one VMware announced with IBM in February is that this service is being offered and managed by VMware.” “Interested customers can request access to the service’s private beta starting Thursday, but VMware doesn’t expect the service to be live until early next year.

Episode 75: "AWS and VMware are having a LAN party” or “Matt Ray’s deep story” or “some five year old gibberish”

...Statler and Waldorf talk with Fozzie ...What's the "OpsOps" of DevOps?. ...Never say you're going to spend $1bn on anything What exactly is DevOps? We dare to discuss that at first and then get into Amazon's new managed hosting offering. There's some new container news with containerd from DockerInc land, and some little notes on Azure's features and Cisco's InterCloud shutting down. Also, we find out which Muppet each of us would be played by in The Muppets Take Over Software Defined Talk. Mid-roll  Coté: Come see me January 10th in Phoenix, 5:30pm at the Galvanize Office. Free parking! Coté: check out my interview with Tony at Home Depot about their first year being cloud native, on Pivotal Cloud Foundry. They went from 0 to ~150 apps in their first year. Like, real, business critical apps that you probably end up interacting with (pro tools, paint), plus internal facing apps.  Feedback &amp; Follow-up  The Doc Martin shoes: Hickmire. Thanks to Chris Short.  The DevOps  App dev vs. IT service delivery. DevOps Kung Fu, Adam Jacob's talk on the inclusion of everyone in the org chart in DevOps What is DevOps without Dev? Is there OpsOps?  AWS Managed Services  Amazon will manage your shit now, with real live peoples "This is actually a thing. It's called managed cloud." "This is actually a thing. It's called managed cloud." - this is a good example of the more subtle way of "paying off analysts." More like: changing their minds. "Designed for the Fortune 1000 and the Global 2000, this service is designed to accelerate cloud adoption" AKA "We're eating our partners" AKA "RACKSPACE: YOU'RE UP!" Coté: Is this like a service desk and a runbook for spinning up AWS stuff? Plus actual AMZN staff to "manage" the infrastructure like patching and such right? Coté: I was just talking with someone yesterday who's mission was "optimize how we do IT without me telling you what I want to do with IT." That is: lower costs and give us the ability to do whatever we may want in the future in under a year's planning/effort. Bezos doesn't like meetings without a memo http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/5851aebfca7f0c24018b5b6f-2400/ap16349721408436.jpg  Don't Sleep on Microsoft  Damn, that's a monstrous URL GPUs, HANA, Media Services, Machine Deep Learning, Data Lake, Single-instance virtual machines Coté: I hear data is a thing. And AI.  Cisco Shutting Down Their InterCloud  Coté's audition for an ElReg headline writer: Cloud InterRUPPTED $1 Billion isn't enough, "score another body bag win for the unstoppable Amazon Web Services" "Meanwhile, the cloud providers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google aren't using a lot of Cisco gear. They are increasingly using a new style to build networks that relies more on software and less on high-end, expensive hardware." Sharwood@ElReg: "OpenStack public clouds have an unhappy history: Rackspace felt it could build a business on the platform, but has since changed tack. HP pulled out of its own Helion public cloud. If Cisco is indeed changing direction, the OpenStack Board has some interesting matters to ponder." Theory: AWS means on-premise IT is over-serving. You actually don't need all that. Incumbent vendors succumbed to the strategy aphasia of the disruptor's' dilemma (weren't willing to sacrifice/take eye off the ball of existing success and revenue) and lost to Amazon's lower capabilities, lower price approach. WHEN WILL TECH PEOPLE LURN? There was this talk several years ago that was all like: "well, obviously, we shouldn't compete strategy-to-strategy with Amazon. We should provide the enterprise version!" Apparently, that was dead wrong. People confused Apple's ability to sell at an insane premium with the market not caring about x86 &amp;co.  Docker Contributes Containerd  Docker-engine standardized container runtime for the industry Engine vs. Machine Check out this TheNewStack story for a new strategy slide:  Containers in Production!  Round-up of some container survey poking n=338 respondents Sidenote: Jenkins win. Good job biffing that one Oracle. But then again: is there any money in it? "This leads us to a very difficult operational problem – how do we ensure security, and understand the makeup of an application while still allowing developer velocity to increase."  More Docker usage numbers from DataDog! "ECS adoption has climbed steadily from zero to 15 percent of Docker organizations using Datadog. (And more than 10 percent of all Datadog customers are now using Docker.)" How do I read this? Does it mean adoption is fast after an initial tire-kicking? "In the 30 days after an organization starts reporting ECS metrics, we see a 35 percent increase in the number of running containers as compared to the 60-day baseline that came before. Using the same parameters, we see a 27 percent increase in the number of running Docker hosts."  CoreOS Tectonic Goes Freemium  Erryone's favorite business model Kubernetes 1.5 coming soon   Shipping upstream version3  Renamed their distro to Container Linux They have attempted to coin the phrase "self-driving Kubernetes" -- God help us.   BONUS LINKS! Not discussed on show. More AWS Followup  Missed a talk?  Open sourced a Deep Learning library:    AWS is still really new to contributing to OSS, Cockcroft has been pushing them. Also see the Blox.github.io stuff we didn't talk about last show  AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate Q&amp;A AWS Canada &amp; London! Strange Brew Region hello hello hello what's all this then region "brings our global footprint to 16 Regions and 40 Availability Zones, with seven more Availability Zones and three more Regions coming online through the next year"  Docker Acquires Distributed Storage Startup Inifinit  "the Infinit platform provides interfaces for block, object and file storage: NFS, SMB, AWS S3, OpenStack Swift, iSCSI, FUSE etc." To be open-sourced Extends the stateful application story  CA Buys Automic for $635 million  "CA fights legacy status with DevOps automation tools buy" - that's not a good headline for your Christmas cards. $635 million, Crunchbase says they were founded in 1985(?) Hey look, it's my man Carl Lehmann at 451!  New CEO at BMC  Beauchamp goes to board, Polycom dude steps in a CEO "Beauchamp said many of BMC's products are achieving double digit growth and double-digit profitability."  Red Hat OpenShift on GCE and JBoss on OpenShift  In case you need more management on your GCE? AWS is already there, probably Azure soon. I wonder if there's a deficiency in Google's offering that it's more of a consumed resource than a platform a la AWS? Plenty of management in AWS already? JBoss on it  Dell Q3  "Dell Technologies Posts $2B Loss, But EMC Deal Already Boosting Revenue"  Stonic, (not) An Ansible Fork?  Stonic will be licensed under AGPL-3.0 :facepalm: Coté: why is AGPL bad?  Australian 2016 Word of the Year: "Democracy Sausage" (saved you a click)  Democracy Sausage  Google Makes So Much Money It Never Had to Worry About Financial Discipline - Until Now  Candy, not CREAM Brandon called this way back when. But what about Google Fiber in my neighborhood? Best shruggie use of th eyear  NVIDA $129k computer.  "Fewer than 100 companies and organizations have bought DGX-1s since they started shipping in the fall, but early adopters say Nvidia's claims about the system seem to hold up." Does it pass the Coté AI Test? I.e.: can it fix scheduling meetings across different organizations?  Recommendations  Brandon: Mobile eating the world.  Matt: Jenn Schiffer's "No One Expects The Lady Code Troll" Coté: Senso bluetoother headphones. Trapper hats all winter long.

Episode 83: I think the word we object to is "DevOps"

We discuss possible effects that the Trump presidency will have on the tech world. The ideas are more or less known, but the details and whether they'd be enacted are sketchy and unreliable. Before that, of course, we talk about containers. This episode features Brandon Whichard, Matt Ray, and Coté. Mid-roll  Matt: Dec 1st and 2nd - DevOps Days Australia 20% discount code - SDT2016. Coté: Nov 16th - Cloud Native Roadshow in Omaha, next week. Coté: Various dates - Pivotal Cloud Native Roadshows - Cincinnati - Nov 10; St. Louis - Nov 14; Hartford - Nov 16; Denver - Nov 18; New York - Nov 22; Los Angeles - Nov 28.  K8s Operators  Stateful applications for K8s, a shot at Mesos? Prometheus &amp; etcd first examples (spark? hadoop?) This begs the broad question: so, what’s CoreOS’s business posture now?  Azure Container Service, now with K8s  Those Microsoft folks will just put anything that looks tasty in their cloud - what a reversal from the Microsoft we grew up with.  Docker in Production: A History of Failure  From this dude’s perspective: a failure of product management and stable releases. Bugs, documentation spotty, cleanup scripts, kernel support (Debian!?), aufs &amp; overlay &amp; overlay2, 7-hour outage with no post-mortem “Docker only moves forward and breaks things”  “The docker hype is not only a technological liability any more, it has evolved into a sociological problem as well.” A retort… that mostly agrees “boring tech is what makes money” shiny tech makes resumes?  Mesosphere  Jay Lyman on the momemtum: “Mesosphere does not disclose its number of paying clients, but says it has dozens of large enterprise customers, its primary target. The company says its experience supporting software deployments in production is among its key differentiators, helped by the use of Apache Mesos by companies such as Twitter, Netflix, Airbnb, PayPal and Yelp, which was featured in a 451 User Deployment Report. Mesosphere says its focus is customer deployments of 500-1,000 nodes per day in production. It also says the bulk of its customers are licensees with professional services accounting for less than 10% of its clients, which tend to move to its subscription software.”  TrumpTech, aka, “Putting the 400 lbs hackers on diets.”  Turns out there is some marginally clear policy, just not McKinsey title mode versus white papers. Jonathan Shieber@Tech Crunch: "The biggest question facing millions of Americans this Wednesday is: just how much of what Donald Trump said on the campaign does he intend to actually try to make happen." (For example, Korea.) Dave Lee, at the BBC has a good laundry list: “Uncertainty, frustration and an increased fragility for the global home of tech innovation. Mr Trump certainly won't want to go down as the president who destroyed Silicon Valley, but the concern here is that of the few policies that have been explained in detail, some seem directly at odds with each other.” 10% repatriation program - tech companies have tons of cash abroad: Historic rates: “At the highest tax rate, corporations must pay 35% to repatriate capital, minus local taxes charged by countries in which the funds are held.” Hardware: “AAPL (93% of $230bln), CSCO (91% of $64.6B), IBM ($8.2B total cash, undisclosed % of cash held overseas but note 58% of earnings are from non US operations), HPE ($10.0B total cash, undisclosed % of cash held overseas but 65% of earnings are from non US operations), HPQ ($5.6B total cash, undisclosed % of cash held overseas but 65%-70% of earnings are from non US operations), JNPR (94% of $3.2B).” Software: “Specifically, some of the mid and large cap companies that have large cash balances “trapped” offshore are likely to benefit from being able to return a portion of this cash to shareholders. We note companies with high gross cash balances trapped offshore include: ADBE (85% of $4B – from 2015 10-K), ADSK (86% of $2.1B), CA (76% of $2.7B), CTXS (80% of $2.45B), FTNT (38% of $1.2B), ORCL (76% of $56B – pre-N), MSFT (96% of $113B – pre-LNKD purchase), RHT (42% of $2.0B), SYMC (93% of $5.6B – post-BC), VMW (77% of $7.5B), VRSN (68% of $1.9B). We believe the chances increase of a larger share repurchase or (lesser chance) dividend from these companies.”  Apple &amp; Amazon are not in a good situation - they’ll be a good test of WTF happens. Meanwhile, tech stocks dropping a bit. Ovum has a shit ton of quick analysis, all free: Fear of US public cloud companies, globally. Remember the freak-out from NSA stuff? Same idea. I think the Gemans got over it. Outsources: “A massive curtailing of H-1B visas, for example, will mean providers will need to make immediate shifts in what they’re able to offer customers locally, unless or until they’re able to compensate with talent.” “For providers, there’s also the unanswered question of the impact on US government spending.” [Education](https://www.ovum.com/trumping-expectations-now-us-public-sector-2/ - some proposals for de-centralizing, meaning fragmentation of IT spend. Government talent, regulations, and spending - “If there is a large exodus of high-caliber and skilled staff, how will departments fill the gap? It also raises the question of funding for programs aimed at modernizing tech in the federal government such as F18 and FedRAMP. Trump might reduce the barriers to swapping out tech and push down expenditure that way. Certainly, the high cost and length of time needed to get Authority to Operate (ATO) under FedRAMP has been a barrier to uptake.” Telcos - other than him stating he’d stop the AT&amp;T/TimeWarner merger, telco stuff is very unclear. No one’s sure what the traditional Republican +/- Trump equals, or what the formula is.  M&amp;A from Brenon@451: “Chinese buyers probably won't be shopping as freely in the US in the coming years.” They spent $14bn this year, I think.Chinese buyers have recently picked up Ingram Micro, which swings nearly $50bn worth of tech gear and services each year, 25-year-old printer maker Lexmark and even a majority stake in the gay dating app Grindr." Also see shorter blog post with chart of Chinese M&amp;A spend. Snowden for Head of NSA!.  Follow-up  That’s how you do it! We got actual comments!  BONUS LINKS!

Episode 182: It’s chaos week in Enterprise Software! 

We discuss recent kubernetes news, London, and whatever the hell "serverless" is. If you’re lucky enough to have access, check out Hammond &amp; Rymer’s Jan 2018 report on serverless, it’s amazingly good and helpful. This episode brought to you by: Datadog!

It's July 12th to 13th, and you can bet it'll be worth your time. If you're new to DevOps you'll get an idea of what it is, how it's practices, and how to get started. If you're an old pro, you'll dive down into topics and catch-up with all the other old hands. Code: SDT2018 Relevant to your interests  Upbound emerges from stealth, raises $9M from GV to build a multicloud platform on KubernetesAnother thing k8s doesn’t do…I guess? “The eight-person Seattle-based startup plans to build a platform that will let Kubernetes users interested in multicloud deployments build services that scale across multiple public clouds and help those companies deploy their applications across those environments.”DC/OS for all the DC/OS’es. It’s DC/OS’es all the way down.(I’m glad they linked to the wikipedia definition for “lingua franca.”) As Kubernetes grows, a startup ecosystem develops in its wakeThis about 1/3 of what a good, internal strategy memo would be. Needs market-sizing, forecasts, and, well, more numbers. If it also said what action to take, you’d have most of it there. Is K8s Too Complicated?  AWS Won Serverless – now all your software are kinda belong to themYou know what old Jack Burton always says in a time like this: “I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HELL THAT MEANS!”"We can't be more than one to two years from Amazon hitting that 2 per cent of the serverless (i.e. platform) market. Which means, if you're going to counter play then NOW (not six months later) is the time to be dropping $5 to $10bn on that counter play."See also… Serverless is going to crush Kubernetes (but only in a theoretical world which doesn’t actually exist) - oh boy… CoreOS Is New Linux, Not A RHEL Classic Killer: ‘Importantly, the OpenShift platform cloud software, which included Red Hat’s own implementation of the Kubernetes container controller, will be deployable on either the full-on Red Hat Enterprise Linux in pets mode or the minimalist Red Hat CoreOS in cattle mode. But it will be using the Tectonic version of the Kubernetes controller going forward as well as integrating the Prometheus monitoring tool and etcd for storing telemetry. Gracely tells The Next Platform that the implementation of Kubernetes had outside dependencies such as the CloudForms hybrid cloud management tool (formerly ManageIQ) and was not “native” to Kubernetes in the same way that Tectonic is, meaning free of outside dependenies.’ Developer Advocate Wars / Arms Race - outward and inner…kingmakers Google now says controversial AI voice calling system will identify itself to humans - that sort of defeats the whole point.
