February 06, 2019 Day Two Cloud 002: How To Do Cloud Right
Welcome to the second episode of Day Two Cloud. This podcast is a frank discussion of what happens when cloud stops being polite and starts getting real.
The promise of the public cloud is both tantalizing and frightening. There’s the promise of moving all your infrastructure to the cloud and magically simplifying your operations.
Then there’s the terror of moving all your infrastructure to the cloud and immediately putting yourself out of a job.
It turns out that neither of those prospects are necessarily true, and that reality is far more nuanced. So was is that reality? That’s the topic we explore today on the Day Two Cloud podcast.
My guest is Kenny Lowe, Senior Principal Azure Stack Technologist, EMEA at Dell EMC.
We discuss how public cloud, including IaaS, PaaS, and serverless, differ markedly from running virtualized applications on premises, and what enterprises need to be aware of when migrating applications or building new apps in the cloud.
We also look at the gotchas of migrating to PaaS, such as feature gaps between what’s available on premises and what’s available in the cloud.
Kenny also makes the case for why cloud won’t eat your job. That said, you will need to learn new things, and Kenny has some suggestions for where to focus your efforts.

January 23, 2019 Day Two Cloud 001: Building A Business On Azure
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Day Two Cloud, a new podcast on the Packet Pushers network.
For new listeners–a.k.a everyone since this is the first episode–here’s a little background on what we’re going to cover on the podcast.
There have been countless articles, marketing slicks, and breathless descriptions of what is possible with the cloud. For the better part of a decade you’ve been told the cloud is rainbows and puppies and that every day is your birthday.
So you’ve bought into the promises. You’ve mapped out a vision on a whiteboard. You’ve forecasted the benefits for IT and the business. Now the real work begins.
How well does reality match the design? What happens the first time something crashes? How do you handle shifting demands, changing requirements, and security concerns all running on bleeding-edge technology?
Day Two Cloud is all about what happens when the cloud gets real.
Today’s Show
My guest for the first episode is Tim Warner, a Microsoft cloud and data center MVP and a PluralSight author. We dive into a case study of a client of Tim’s who’s migrating a business application on Azure.
We discuss how the client decided to move into public cloud, the technical requirements necessary to migrate and scale the application, how to address client access and application availability, and lessons learned around deployment, automation, and cost control.
