This week on the podcast, (@AugmentedPod) we have Leon Kuperman, CTO of CAST.AI (@cast_ai) Futurist Trond Undheim hosts (@trondau), this is episode #85 of Season 2 and the topic is: Industrial Cloud Interoperability. In this conversation, we talk about cloud interoperability, whether it exists, why it's needed and what it could accomplish. We also get into the technical underpinnings, such as Carita, containerization and the outlook for public private and hybrid clouds as well as the vendors that supply advanced infrastructures.

Augmented reveals the stories behind the new era of industrial operations, where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. Technology is changing rapidly. What’s next in the digital factory? Who is leading the change? What are the key skills to learn and how to stay up to date on manufacturing and industry 4.0? Augmented is a podcast for industrial leaders, process engineers, and shop floor operators, hosted by futurist Trond Arne Undheim, and presented by Tulip, the frontline operations platform.

Trond's takeaway: A.I. is a silent enabler of collaboration between systems, which by the same token affects collaboration between people and organizations, its technical complexity often limits the debate about the subject in non-specialist circles, which is a shame given the pivotal importance of cloud infrastructure in today's computing environment, the relative progress made on interoperability will determine the course of products, flexibility, security, and productivity.
