THE ARCHITECHT SHOW

In this episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, IBM's Jason McGee (VP and CTO, IBM Cloud) and Ruchir Puri (chief architect, IBM Watson) explain why Kubernetes can be an ideal platform for running deep learning and AI workloads. Among other topics, the two go into detail on an open source project called FfDL (Fabric for Deep Learning), how businesses are taking advantage of advances in AI and application architecture, and ever-expanding set of hardware platforms targeting AI.

In this episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, Dan Kohn (executive director of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation) and Sarah Novotny (head of open source strategy for Google Cloud Platform) discuss some recent Kubernetes news and CNCF survey results. Among other topics, the two also share their insights into how and why companies are adopting cloud-native technologies in 2018, break down the different definitions of multi-cloud, and consider which projects will ultimately emerge from a crowded serverless computing space.

In this episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, Hilary Mason -- now GM of machine learning at Cloudera, and formerly founder of Fast Forward Labs, chief scientist at Bitly and more -- discusses a breadth of topics related to artificial intelligence, including what's exciting today in enterprise AI and machine learning, and how to discern the wheat from the chaff in AI research. Mason also goes into depth on the topic of data ethics, explaining why we're at a day of reckoning and how companies and data scientists can go about getting their ethics in order.

In this week's episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, Rob Bredow -- SVP, executive creative director and head of Industrial Light & Magic -- discusses how technology is changing the way that special effects and production are done in the movie industry. Bredow discusses the recently launched Academy Software Foundation, which is a joint open-source effort between the Motion Picture Academy and the Linux Foundation, as well as artificial intelligence, large-screen televisions and frame-by-frame analysis of trailers by online fans. He also talks about some of his favorite movies to work on during his decades-long career.

In this episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, Jason Hoffman discusses all things edge computing -- from the business of operating cellular infrastructure to the applications where it really makes sense. Hoffman is currently the CEO of Deutsche Telekom subsidiary MobileedgeX; he previously led cloud efforts at Ericsson and was co-founder and CTO of early cloud computing provider Joyent. He also gives his take on the role of the large cloud providers as the edge shapes up, and shares a vision of an augmented reality future that doesn't involve being tethered to a headset or looking through your phone.

In the episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, GeekWire cloud and enterprise editor Tom Krazit joins host Derrick Harris to talk about a busy few weeks in the cloud computing world. Among other things, they discuss Amazon's rumored data center switch, Alibaba's rising status and Google's complicated relationship with China.

In this episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, Gabe Monroy, head of product for cloud-native computing at Microsoft Azure, goes deep into the world of cloud-native computing. Monroy discusses his time in the PaaS space at Deis and EngineYard (and how that evolved into the container movement), and how the Kubernetes/CNCF communities are able to play nice with each other given all that's at stake. He also discusses the art of building managed Kubernetes services, Microsoft's GitHub acquisition, the role of serverless computing and more.

This episode originally aired on Aug. 17, 2017: In this episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, Elastic founder and CEO Shay Banon talks about the evolution of Elasticsearch—from an open source side project (the first iteration was a recipe-search app for his wife) to popular big data tool to the core of a company worth nearly a billion dollars. He also shares his thoughts and strategies on the growth of Elastic, which, somewhat under the radar, has expanded to include multiple products and employ hundreds of people around the world.

In this episode of the ARCHITECHT Show, IBM Cloud general manager Don Boulia and Forrester analyst Lauren Nelson share their insights into how enterprises and mainstream companies are adopting technologies such as cloud computing, containers and artificial intelligence. The pair also weigh in on blockchain and its applications beyond cryptocurrency, including protecting the food supply chain.
