On Cloud

Join host David Linthicum and guest Lori MacVittie, CTO at F5 Networks, as they discuss security in the cloud. Lori provides her perspective on problems organizations face with security, and how teamwork plays a more critical role than technology in fixing problems—and making sure they’re discovered before they become catastrophic. Lori and David also discuss the future of security in the cloud and what CIOs can do to start moving toward that future right now.

Join host Mike Kavis as he sits down with Jayne Groll, co-founder and CEO of the DevOps Institute, to talk about DevOps--what it is and isn't--and the critical skillsets needed for success. Mike and Jayne also discuss change management, and how the human element plays a crucial role in helping companies use DevOps to transform both IT and the enterprise value stream. Finally, they engage in a lively debate about what a DevOps Engineer is--or whether they even exist.

In this week's episode, David Linthicum chats with Deloitte Consulting LLP’s Ken Corless and Gary Arora about all things serverless: how it relates to NoOps, upsides, downsides, and the human element.

They also discuss hybrid environments, security, automation, and the bright future for serverless. “Disclaimer: As referenced in this podcast, “Google” refers to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Join host Mike Kavis and guest Charity Majors of Honeycomb as they talk about the control theory concept of observability--what it is and how to use it to make developing and monitoring massively complex, cloud-based systems more efficient and effective. They discuss how observability relies on collaboration and shared responsibility--as well as an "all-hands-on-deck" attitude to get things done, and done right. Charity also gives her perspective on chaos engineering and why you don't need to practice it until you know what you're doing without it.

In this episode, host David Linthicum and guest Lisa Noon, managing director at Deloitte Consulting LLP, discuss how cloud providers are using advances in business cloud technology to help solve some of the world’s most intractable problems such as water management and conservation, drug addiction, and disease research. They also talk about the role Google Cloud is playing in addressing these problems and how Google is leveraging innovations in its own security management to help make the cloud space more secure.
