This episode is presented by Daniel Virassamy, Principal Solution Architect at Mirantis, who describes himself as curious by nature and open source by choice. Daniel will cover, in-depth, the various costs associated with current Public Cloud offerings to debunk many of the myths that Public Cloud is always cheaper, simpler, and the easiest to use in comparison to Private Cloud offerings.

He will also offer recommendations for reducing cloud spend - on any architecture - by leveraging open source technologies wherever possible.   

A full list of topics for this episode includes:

• The Iceberg model (of cloud cost)
• Yearly Cloud cost example
• The FinOps cloud cost model
• Staff requirement for Public Cloud
• Cloud migration return on investment
• Shifting from Capex to Opex
• Infrastructure Services to Function-as-a-Service

This week, Mirantis CTO Shaun O'Meara dives deep into On Prem data centers - a concept that many have forgone with the explosion of Public Cloud providers and solutions - but, one that is still critical for securing many organization's data to meet specific security requirements both in given industries and for specific clientele. Shaun also presents the Mirantis strategy for leveraging the most secure data center components while still maintaining flexibility in regards to cloud provider and infrastructure choice.

A full list of topics for this week's episode include:

• Data Center background: is the Data Center really dead?
• Current use cases driving Private Cloud & On Prem Data Centers
• Common challenges with Public Cloud
• Advantages of Public Cloud
• Multi/Hybrid-Cloud: get the best of Public & Private Cloud worlds

In this episode, Solution Architecture Manager Michael Tillman of Mirantis covers everything you need to know about DISA STIG, FEDRAMP, and the associated security requirements needed to achieve Authorization to Operate (ATO).

ATO is a requirement for applications running in the US Federal and State governments, but the security stipulations required in this industry represent the best security practices for cloud native applications in general. With that being said, regardless of whether you need specific approvals for specific workloads, the security framework and solution architecture of the Mirantis Stack of solutions can help your organization ensure that not only your workloads meet the highest standards of security, but also - if you choose to do so - your organization can get ATO much faster than if you were leveraging other solutions that don't meet the Mirantis security standards.

A full list of topics for this week's episode include:

• Defining cloud native applications
• Common challenges with cloud native applications
• DISA STIG
• FEDRAMP
• Defining a "Secure Stack"
• Mirantis secure container solutions
• How to partner with Mirantis for faster ATO
• The complete stack of Mirantis cloud native solutions

More about Mirantis Container Runtime: http://www.mirantis.com/mcr

The teams at Mirantis are excited to announce that Radio Cloud Native is back!

It will be following a slightly different format from before, and although Eric Gregory & John Jainschigg did a fantastic job hosting, we’ve decided to give a voice to more members of the Mirantis family moving forward. 

You should still expect to hear a lot of critical information about the cloud native and Kubernetes space, but rather than covering recent developments in the form of a news update, Radio Cloud Native will aim to provide more thought leadership on the most pertinent topics of the day. 

This week, Mirantis Sr. Solution Architect Kevin Ng is back with another deep dive comparing previous versions of Docker Engine with the latest versions of Mirantis Container Runtime (MCR) and Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE). It is worth noting that these Docker Enterprise solutions were acquired by Mirantis some years ago, and MCR and MKE represent the latest Mirantis iterations of these same solutions, enhanced by our development teams to provide robust and complete container and cloud native infrastructure management solutions. 

A full list of topics for this week's episode include:

• A History of Docker Engine
• A deep dive into various container runtime interfaces
• Full explanation of cri-dockerd & its use cases
• Full overview of Mirantis Container Runtime (MCR) & its use cases
• Full overview of Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE) & its use cases
• Recap: cri-dockerd vs MCR vs MKE
