As a preface, I have had lost a close family member this week, and had little time to do research on the podcast. Apologies for the low quality this week.
My Cloud Computing Reflections
Week 7: Enstratus
Transcript:
Welcome to my cloud computing reflections. My name is Charles Roberts. This is the seventh week where I listen to a new podcast and go over what new topics I learned, how it challenges my initial thoughts or beliefs, and how it applies to my personal or professional life
This week, I listened to episode 19 of the cloud cast titled who manages the cloud with special guest George Reese. Reese is the founder and CEO of enStratus, a cloud infrastructure service similar to other open source Saas such as openstack. In 2003, he split from his former company called ventura in order to form enstratus. He wanted this service to cater more towards IT departments where leading saas services are catered towards developers.
I learned the variety of functions with enStratus. According to Reese, enStratus has automated features such as automated scaling and automated disaster recovery.
I also learned how a CEO like Reese handles high availability and loss of data. According to reese, there two methods of resolving high availability. One way is providing redundancy to the virtual machine and the other is establishing designed to fail hardware. The ladder can run the risk of failure for certain regions. For Reese, this loss is acceptable because data stored in designed to fail hardware is never important to begin with.
To close out this podcast, this cloud cast podcast gives thoughtful insight on the design choices for enstratus. Given the variety of saas services enstratus would be a great choice as an advanced alternative to many opensource services. Most companies would be comfortable with migrating to a free service and sticking with it for the far future. However, enstratus allows for automation in many areas which will reduce the need for maintenance and instead focus on monitoring the conditions of the virtual machine. The price of admission for enstratus may be worth it in the long run.
That’s all for now, talk to you soon, and thank you. Podcast out.
