IT Management & Cloud Podcast #41- The Cloud’s Awkward Teen Years
By John | May 5, 2009
- The Killer Cloud – John’s government consulting.
- I ask John what he knows about vSphere. He’s not too hot on it as a private cloud; we discuss “hyper-visor virtualization.”
- We get into a discussion about “workloads” you’d put in a cloud and the risk-profiling, lacing in John’s military chatter and my notes from a recent IBM cloud talk.
- We once again arrive at our “get rid of all that annoying IT process” candy-land of cloud computing. I ask John what kinds of applications people are putting in these candy-lands: new stuff, or just the regular workloads? John says he’s seen standard LAMP stack stuff and a few other items.
- IBM cloud explosion – what exactly is all this cloud stuff we’re seeing from IBM? Here, here, etc.
- GroundWork Starter edition – $4,000 starts you with 100 devices.
- Snorkle – Sun + Oracle. John gets me to re-cap my post on the topic.
- Cassatt closing – David Dennis had a nice write-up, but I ask John to add in his take which seems to be: “provisioning on steroids might be a cloud.”
- OpsCode (Chef) funding, and Eucalyptus too.
- The Bowling Kid – John’s son Daniel can bowl a mean game.
