WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.610 --> 00:00:09.210 Andy Whiteside: Everyone and welcome to episode 36 of new tactics weekly i'm your host Andy whiteside back in back in charge. 2 00:00:09.690 --> 00:00:10.679 Andy Whiteside: At least I got here on time. 3 00:00:10.710 --> 00:00:10.950 today. 4 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.350 Andy Whiteside: And that's saying a lot, because I don't get anywhere on time these days. 5 00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:19.800 Jirah Cox: sees sees the leadership roles in technology parlance. 6 00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:25.200 Andy Whiteside: feel like tiger by the tail I know exactly what whoever came up with that same minutes. 7 00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:38.100 Andy Whiteside: So Harvey Green is with me Harvey is one of our solutions architects I think i've called you guys sales engineers forever, but I think it's time to call it solution architect will get divers opinion on on that here in a second Harvey how's it going. 8 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.810 Harvey Green: pretty good I actually knew the podcast episode, this time. 9 00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:48.000 Andy Whiteside: How do you normally figure it out, because when i'm not here, I don't. 10 00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:49.650 Andy Whiteside: Well, I figure. 11 00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:58.110 Harvey Green: This time well last time I figured it out by actually going to the page and trying to count them out, so they weren't labeled in that way. 12 00:00:59.370 --> 00:01:02.130 Harvey Green: And this time I know because you corrected me last time. 13 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:06.150 Andy Whiteside: When you say go to the page you go to our website, or you go. 14 00:01:06.150 --> 00:01:09.300 Andy Whiteside: To apple or I or what do you go. 15 00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:11.610 Harvey Green: Now the the back end page to. 16 00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:12.570 Andy Whiteside: The bus well. 17 00:01:12.630 --> 00:01:13.110 Harvey Green: yeah that's. 18 00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:20.220 Andy Whiteside: Okay yeah yes, the little that's the secret people don't know it, but probably just to get there, and it goes all the places you've told it to go. 19 00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:21.030 Harvey Green: yeah. 20 00:01:21.690 --> 00:01:24.600 Andy Whiteside: We got gyro with us jarrod Cox Eva he moved yet. 21 00:01:25.410 --> 00:01:33.780 Jirah Cox: We are actually as of now under contract as of this past weekend, so we know when we're going to be moved by so between now and mid January it's gonna get busy over here. 22 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.680 Andy Whiteside: Mid January that's your that's your get out date. 23 00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:44.070 Jirah Cox: will be will be shown the door happily dissolving was our our idea anyway so. 24 00:01:44.670 --> 00:01:47.460 Andy Whiteside: and remind me you're moving to the raleigh area yep. 25 00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:48.930 Jirah Cox: yep we're gonna be in Chapel hill. 26 00:01:49.890 --> 00:01:52.230 Andy Whiteside: Okay i'll come see all the time i'm there a lot. 27 00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:53.040 Jirah Cox: sounds good. 28 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:55.500 Andy Whiteside: drop all is dropped by. 29 00:01:55.890 --> 00:01:57.180 Jirah Cox: We have man let's do it. 30 00:01:57.630 --> 00:02:04.050 Andy Whiteside: What what's the driver to move, are you are you remote working is that the that's what everybody else is doing. 31 00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:14.160 Jirah Cox: Right, well, I already was, and still will be right, so my company was like okay that's cool thanks for let us know, like zero impact whatsoever, so no it's not a job thing. 32 00:02:15.420 --> 00:02:25.650 Jirah Cox: It will be closer to our east coast headquarters, but that's totally just coincidental now we've got family moving from the Austin Austin area to the raleigh area and so we're going to be closer to them. 33 00:02:26.010 --> 00:02:35.340 Andy Whiteside: yeah knots goods families extremely important and having that flexibility that I was in Morgan to North Carolina this weekend and apparently it's growing. 34 00:02:35.790 --> 00:02:43.020 Andy Whiteside: I didn't see it, but my people I was with solid or say it is, and I said well what are these people doing and they said, well, they just remote work. 35 00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:57.060 Andy Whiteside: And I my responses I get it, but or what about the need to hybrid work and how long would this remote work thing last I mean we talked about all the time when these podcasts but I mean, is it really going to be the world where the employee just picks where they live, now on. 36 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:03.450 Jirah Cox: I think that's the employees desire slash expectation right. 37 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:12.000 Harvey Green: yeah I think if it goes to simply that and just that a lot of other things would have to change. 38 00:03:12.390 --> 00:03:12.750 yeah. 39 00:03:16.230 --> 00:03:16.470 Andy Whiteside: yeah. 40 00:03:17.010 --> 00:03:24.780 Harvey Green: I mean stuff is simple as Oh, you know you think you're so smart right you you move to someplace that's going to be. 41 00:03:25.320 --> 00:03:40.380 Harvey Green: very cheap cost of living, you know so that you're still making the same thing, but you're out there, where it doesn't cost you anything but then you forget little things like Oh, I had you know awesome Internet over there and it's pretty terrible over here. 42 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:47.010 Andy Whiteside: And then, what happens if you get caught up in that you know mass layoffs or you get let go whatever now. 43 00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:49.740 Andy Whiteside: Your next employer doesn't follow suit, with. 44 00:03:50.220 --> 00:03:58.440 Andy Whiteside: In Java this isn't saying that you're moving the Chapel hill North Carolina because you're that's that's you're getting closer to the mothership I don't think that was the intention, or at least the second biggest office, I believe. 45 00:03:59.190 --> 00:04:03.300 Andy Whiteside: that's probably even a better mood for you probably creates new career opportunities if you want them. 46 00:04:03.570 --> 00:04:04.500 Jirah Cox: it's even actually. 47 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.390 Jirah Cox: I believe larger the larger support Center for us yeah yeah. 48 00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:15.180 Andy Whiteside: Well, and the research triangle aka raleigh Durham Chapel hill is not a bad place to be for a techie. 49 00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:26.730 Jirah Cox: No it's certainly it's a fantastic place to be looking looking forward to it very, very much yeah but no, I think I think I mean you're highlighting some great questions right around mean society like culturally right we. 50 00:04:29.010 --> 00:04:40.890 Jirah Cox: The the remote work we're live anywhere, you want to pick your own hours totally not evenly distributed right across all jobs across all functions across all industries right so. 51 00:04:41.310 --> 00:04:46.650 Jirah Cox: yeah you're totally right that there will be questions around But what if X changes, then, then, therefore, why. 52 00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:48.510 Andy Whiteside: Right right. 53 00:04:50.220 --> 00:05:04.320 Andy Whiteside: Well, you guys, thankfully, and your great about it, the PIC the blog for us today that recap, some of the top sessions, from next because I believe you're going to tell me that they're now available online and we want people to know that there and go check them out right. 54 00:05:04.710 --> 00:05:16.500 Jirah Cox: They are but, but we can even segue that from you know the the conference from anywhere right along with the work from anywhere, so this was the This is yet another conference quote on your terms right so. 55 00:05:18.030 --> 00:05:28.710 Jirah Cox: Some really deep content deep knowledge available to you in your sweats and slippers right that probably wouldn't be up to the dress code of the average tech conference. 56 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.770 Jirah Cox: If we had to attended in person, but you know, in the comfort of your own home, you can get some pretty good. 57 00:05:35.910 --> 00:05:42.450 Jirah Cox: pretty good education on some really good topics here that yeah to your point Andy totally all available totally all complimentary right so. 58 00:05:43.590 --> 00:05:46.860 Jirah Cox: So we wanted to advertise that it's out there talk through. 59 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:55.050 Jirah Cox: What I think I think this is a pretty cool list of not just a way of reminding people what's out there, but also like here's what our customers are getting the most value out of right what sessions are actually. 60 00:05:55.350 --> 00:06:04.080 Jirah Cox: popular and what are people, given that freedom to attend, whatever they want to actually making the time to to sit through yeah. 61 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:18.210 Andy Whiteside: So the the official blog name is next top sessions, and this was put together by Maya bibby and rose a tia or bhatia i'm not sure exactly how to pronounce it but they get credit we're just we're just talking about it. 62 00:06:19.830 --> 00:06:28.680 Andy Whiteside: So let's I think we've done a good job, introducing the concept, the first one that's listed here gyrus one click lifecycle management, for your H ci environment. 63 00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:45.210 Andy Whiteside: I mean, this is, this is what new tonics has been great at from early on and making not the only ones to make hdi work, but the only ones that do a great job of making that user user experience from an admin perspective flawless and easy from. 64 00:06:45.810 --> 00:06:46.800 Jirah Cox: The only two of the goals right. 65 00:06:47.340 --> 00:06:49.410 Jirah Cox: I was um I was highlighting for a team. 66 00:06:50.940 --> 00:06:54.780 Jirah Cox: The other week right like setting up sort of the won't affect new tonics. 67 00:06:55.830 --> 00:06:57.150 Jirah Cox: And like well you've heard us talk about. 68 00:06:58.530 --> 00:07:04.710 Jirah Cox: Our amazing support right that leads the industry and they had actually experienced this so it it resonated with them. 69 00:07:05.430 --> 00:07:20.580 Jirah Cox: But then i'm like well but that's not just like what you think of as your occasional hdi focus right it's not just storage, not just compute and, of course, even management like that goes both up and down right like firmware cluster expansions. 70 00:07:21.900 --> 00:07:37.500 Jirah Cox: You know how do I get new firmware on my Nick right to avoid you know some kind of published advisory around any new new firmware from the manufacturer, but up the stack to right like how do I automate deployment on the platform, how do I make a new database spring into life. 71 00:07:38.910 --> 00:07:50.760 Jirah Cox: And if you've been deployed postgres specifically with era, like how do I even get support for that database itself like that's like what could be like nine different vendors there that can be as few as one you know radical simplification. 72 00:07:52.020 --> 00:07:58.320 Jirah Cox: Radical consolidation right like I just I think I could call the channels for every bit of that stack right and that's a pretty pretty cool. 73 00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:06.510 Jirah Cox: proposition that right to say like not only is our support great, but it also covers probably more than you're realizing here when you think about it yeah. 74 00:08:06.990 --> 00:08:10.860 Andy Whiteside: I think in the beginning, when you guys were mostly deploying on top of vmware there was a lot of. 75 00:08:11.370 --> 00:08:27.900 Andy Whiteside: Talk about the number of vmware experts you guys have on staff and how you might she need one a real vmware to help you might find the best place to go is to new tonics on on that stack and getting help from guys who really know the V sphere, yes X world yes world inside now. 76 00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:33.420 Jirah Cox: we've got really smart folks I came I came here, knowing vmware super well and i've actually learned more while i've been here. 77 00:08:35.790 --> 00:08:40.020 Andy Whiteside: Bobby thoughts comments on lifecycle management and, that being part of the new tannic story. 78 00:08:41.250 --> 00:08:51.180 Harvey Green: I mean the the big one to me is how much that actually covers I mean i've had lots and lots of conversations around people who. 79 00:08:51.720 --> 00:09:12.660 Harvey Green: have wanted to do updates and they do updates and they update the hypervisor but then you know updating the hypervisor and storage and firmware and bios right that's normally a weekend for a lot of people right i'm not and not only a weekend, but a weekend of downtime. 80 00:09:13.020 --> 00:09:13.710 Harvey Green: And what's oh. 81 00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:15.690 Andy Whiteside: But the whole lot of hope, with a whole lot of hope and. 82 00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:17.580 Andy Whiteside: get it all right. 83 00:09:18.330 --> 00:09:21.600 Jirah Cox: What are you doing what are you doing during the week leading up to that weekend harpy. 84 00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:24.390 Harvey Green: you're planning the entire time right. 85 00:09:25.290 --> 00:09:28.770 Jirah Cox: Is that there's probably not just like a one pager on it right here's your customized. 86 00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:31.170 Jirah Cox: No cookbook for your environment. 87 00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:42.120 Harvey Green: I mean to any point you're you're doing a lot of crossing your fingers, because at the end of it if, for whatever reason, the update doesn't go all the way through. 88 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:54.570 Harvey Green: You know you spend all your whole week planning for this planning for the downtime how much time was spent on hey what happens if this doesn't come back up generally not a lot. 89 00:09:55.680 --> 00:09:55.980 Harvey Green: yep. 90 00:09:56.550 --> 00:10:01.230 Jirah Cox: nope checking the matrices checking the order of operations right that's all that's normally a huge thing. 91 00:10:01.590 --> 00:10:03.720 Harvey Green: Order of operations oh man don't. 92 00:10:04.170 --> 00:10:05.130 Jirah Cox: get me started on. 93 00:10:07.470 --> 00:10:13.200 Andy Whiteside: If you're not careful, if you don't have this type of solution, it turns into a cl m career limiting move. 94 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:13.890 Jirah Cox: yeah totally. 95 00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:20.100 Jirah Cox: Totally right that's that's, these are the way I I TEE it up is, if you did all those perfectly. 96 00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:31.770 Jirah Cox: that's still you're delivering business as usual right like you're fighting that you're human efforts are equal to like an automated process clearly an automated process, because we do that. 97 00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:50.010 Jirah Cox: Right and so, then so then your outcomes are either business as usual or risk right like some sort of outage caused or felt or a hiccup and it's like man, you know the the like why right like like like let's give humans more time to do better work. 98 00:10:51.630 --> 00:10:59.580 Jirah Cox: You know and and not make people spend time prepping doing monitoring or recovering from you know automated processes right. 99 00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:09.900 Harvey Green: yeah, this is another one that I fall under new tannic for your sanity and I know you guys are probably tired of me saying that this is one that definitely falls under that. 100 00:11:11.640 --> 00:11:24.990 Andy Whiteside: Well, and then one of the things that you would hope would be your normal your way to approach this would be doing testing on like for like hardware and configurations, and you don't have that in the real world, very often right. 101 00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:27.240 Jirah Cox: Tough very tough. 102 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:36.300 Andy Whiteside: All right next line item or next time here deep dive into hdi getting to know the new tannic architecture, I guess we've been around so long, we just assume people. 103 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:49.980 Andy Whiteside: understand the control vm concept and putting that on every node and and how the the the rights and redundant rights happen to resist really just making sure people understand the basics of new tannic hdi. 104 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:58.740 Jirah Cox: yeah well and I agree with you it's it's about something that right like certainly the three of us i'll just assume oh yeah we know this and probably everyone else knows the two. 105 00:11:59.670 --> 00:12:05.190 Jirah Cox: I think it speaks to the the new kind of meetings we're having right like oh so you're in charge of. 106 00:12:05.970 --> 00:12:12.630 Jirah Cox: Now storage at your at your employer you're in charge of the private cloud initiative or you are internal databases right. 107 00:12:12.990 --> 00:12:23.580 Jirah Cox: People that traditionally have not been in the room, as we're doing our White boards as to how does he work, what does the cpm do How did the tedx do data replication and fail over and what do we do when when X. 108 00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:31.440 Jirah Cox: fails right because hardware on a longer timeline harbors going to going to fail right and, hopefully, we want to make that a non heartbreaking event. 109 00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:41.850 Jirah Cox: And so I think this speaks to as we're bringing these people into the conversation right now as admins database admins private cloud admins and architects. 110 00:12:42.450 --> 00:12:56.310 Jirah Cox: they're like wait you can't fix what right we've talked about I new era, I new column I new files or objects right tell me more about this underlying a os layer right, and how does that actually do what it does on the box. 111 00:12:58.680 --> 00:13:07.530 Andy Whiteside: That for me was the Aha moments, and then these application layer functionality pieces are just just icing on the cake. 112 00:13:08.730 --> 00:13:14.940 Andy Whiteside: Especially coming from a world of building yourself three tier back before that was even a term yep. 113 00:13:15.210 --> 00:13:15.630 yeah. 114 00:13:18.030 --> 00:13:20.550 Harvey Green: yeah for sure you know, we. 115 00:13:21.660 --> 00:13:36.420 Harvey Green: you've got this coming out of that next where you do the class on this for anybody who wants an even deeper dive and labs, this is what we, you know do for our workshop that I host every month. 116 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:51.390 Harvey Green: Which of which the next one is December 1 so feel free to jump out there and sign up for that, too, hopefully watching this will get you can get your appetite wet for a little more knowledge and some hands on with it, I. 117 00:13:51.930 --> 00:14:00.330 Jirah Cox: I would never tell you how to do your thing hurry, but it sounds like if you're doing it on December 1 right like should get like a free admin calendar for attending right that's that's where my. 118 00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:05.310 Jirah Cox: An advent calendar right your they'll do the the chocolate countdowns to Christmas. 119 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.670 Jirah Cox: i've got to have a caloric angles to everybody right. 120 00:14:12.090 --> 00:14:14.910 Harvey Green: Like countdown does sound pretty interesting though. 121 00:14:15.930 --> 00:14:17.730 Jirah Cox: A little doors open in the morning today. 122 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.520 Harvey Green: No, I know what you're talking about. 123 00:14:20.520 --> 00:14:21.120 Jirah Cox: OK OK. 124 00:14:21.390 --> 00:14:22.800 Harvey Green: haven't done one like that. 125 00:14:24.330 --> 00:14:29.880 Jirah Cox: yeah right I haven't done one since I was a kid at gyro Well, I can tell you i've already got mine bought so i'm. 126 00:14:29.880 --> 00:14:35.280 Harvey Green: ready I didn't say anything about it, since I was a kid I don't know that I did it did. 127 00:14:36.510 --> 00:14:37.020 Andy Whiteside: A lot of fun and. 128 00:14:39.660 --> 00:14:44.670 Jirah Cox: This is a the dog napping over here in my office has her own advent calendar that we're waiting to start. 129 00:14:45.690 --> 00:14:46.890 Harvey Green: At this point I got. 130 00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:53.250 Harvey Green: Plenty enough chocolate and candy left over from Halloween so but where's the House or the calendar. 131 00:14:54.510 --> 00:14:55.260 Jirah Cox: don't plan ahead. 132 00:14:56.340 --> 00:15:02.130 Andy Whiteside: So number three here is accelerating your public cloud journey which, with new tonics clusters, to be specific. 133 00:15:03.690 --> 00:15:13.980 Andy Whiteside: Obviously, a big part of the new tannic story, as you learn what new tonics has fundamentally done and then, knowing that that is a layer they can go right into the cloud we've talked about it a bunch of these podcasts but. 134 00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:27.960 Andy Whiteside: Certainly, knowing that your future is bulletproof as you start to think about going to clouds and coming back and vice versa, and and living between the clouds hybrid to be the the industry word. 135 00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:33.390 Andy Whiteside: that's another part of what you guys are giving people the opportunity to go back and relearn from next. 136 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:39.360 Jirah Cox: Totally well and I think the I think the key word there is accelerating right like it's all about speed of delivery. 137 00:15:40.050 --> 00:15:49.410 Jirah Cox: I mean i've sat there and the customers right doing the PLC where it's like oh wait, we can turn this up how fast right like we just click a button here and and I get a new cluster. 138 00:15:49.770 --> 00:16:00.480 Jirah Cox: In any availability zone and I pick their in 45 minutes like this it's really ridiculously game changing in some ways right we it's it's well Harvey and I. 139 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:16.020 Jirah Cox: We share a customer right who it affected their Dr strategy right where it's like wait when I can get more nodes on demand, I will actually sort of deploy less right like it was a you know they'll run their pilot light cluster they'll expand that cluster as they want to. 140 00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:24.420 Jirah Cox: onboard more users, if they do a desktop desktop fail over and rather than run a second pilot light cluster if they want to scale down a second cluster they're like no. 141 00:16:24.750 --> 00:16:34.950 Jirah Cox: I can, I can save that cluster up while my first 2000 users are ramping up on cluster one right it's that kind of speed is a real enabler yeah. 142 00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:45.540 Harvey Green: I think that is a great way to describe it to you, you run your pilot light and you know when you actually need it, then you flip the switch and boom, you know fireplace. 143 00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:50.310 Andy Whiteside: or wait three seconds boom fire happens. 144 00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:52.170 Andy Whiteside: that's the reality and that's. 145 00:16:52.380 --> 00:17:06.210 Andy Whiteside: You know that's that's the expected, but so much better and more revolutionary than the old reserve a bunch of hardware data some data Center somewhere that may or may not be up to speed when you need it yeah. 146 00:17:06.570 --> 00:17:10.680 Harvey Green: clusters, is a really cool topic we should probably address that in the podcast one day. 147 00:17:13.590 --> 00:17:22.350 Andy Whiteside: But I do want to well Okay, so you guys talked about the Dr Jared if i'm someone who's not involved to the level, I am, but even me. 148 00:17:22.650 --> 00:17:35.370 Andy Whiteside: When when I start talking about you can use clusters on azure or let's say intense close with aws here and then we're going to talk about next a deep dive in the building the hybrid cloud with new tannic clusters on azure what where does I fit into that. 149 00:17:37.050 --> 00:17:37.680 Jirah Cox: i'm. 150 00:17:37.890 --> 00:17:39.540 Andy Whiteside: Dr as a service counting. 151 00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:40.860 Jirah Cox: Totally I think. 152 00:17:42.690 --> 00:17:47.490 Jirah Cox: manage ability is the would be a key one right so like if it's if if the goal is. 153 00:17:47.910 --> 00:17:54.270 Jirah Cox: I want to have just Dr as a service, I want to build a call new tannic for yet again another layer in the stack right I just call them and they. 154 00:17:54.720 --> 00:18:08.220 Jirah Cox: Fully managed my entire Dr environment that would be die right, that would be the Dr as a service environments that we operate on customers behalf right available at the service pick your pick your number of vm so you want to protect and. 155 00:18:09.750 --> 00:18:15.360 Jirah Cox: I think start listening today if you wanted to write like swipe right swipe credit card get Dr then. 156 00:18:15.810 --> 00:18:33.510 Jirah Cox: Compared to you know well, my our strategy involves partnering with pick your certain major hyper scale or public cloud right that's our our strategic partner, we want to put our our spend within that environment and that's where you would look at you know aws look at azure. 157 00:18:35.070 --> 00:18:44.010 Jirah Cox: and bringing you know, maybe existing cloud architects right or he already heavily invested are built out in those clouds partnering those and certainly makes sense, so you know, as always, like it's what problem to solve. 158 00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:52.650 Andy Whiteside: yeah So where is it located, are you can you say, is it your own data centers is one of the hyper scale, or what is it. 159 00:18:53.400 --> 00:19:02.130 Jirah Cox: No, we got East and West Coast us availability zones we've got global availability zones around the world that I don't have memorized that's that's honestly what I know. 160 00:19:03.330 --> 00:19:05.220 Andy Whiteside: But they're in your own data centers, are there any one of these. 161 00:19:06.150 --> 00:19:13.980 Jirah Cox: We operate I don't think we like poured concrete, but we operate new tank top rated data centers that you know, does the hosting there for our customers okay. 162 00:19:14.010 --> 00:19:27.780 Andy Whiteside: And then new tannic has decided that the strategic play for the hybrid workloads, though, is to go with these bigger hyper scale or public cloud folks but then also offers is a service that straight up out of new tannic data centers. 163 00:19:29.040 --> 00:19:29.880 Jirah Cox: yeah all right, I mean. 164 00:19:31.470 --> 00:19:34.590 Jirah Cox: you're right rather I think that all sounds factual to me right, we never would have gotten. 165 00:19:36.750 --> 00:19:44.790 Jirah Cox: I don't think is I will get aws or azure to go put footprint in our data centers right so offering customers, the choice of saying, if you want to be within those within that. 166 00:19:45.990 --> 00:19:55.350 Jirah Cox: Availability zone of that hyper scale or provider then here's a way to to consume their offering right in the form of bare metal nodes to go running Linux workloads there yeah. 167 00:19:56.730 --> 00:20:03.300 Andy Whiteside: So we did go from three to four and four it was talking about new tasks clusters on azure, which is a newer. 168 00:20:03.840 --> 00:20:21.690 Andy Whiteside: newer pieces of story, but still that public cloud bare metal type of offering using new tannic software to create that ubiquitous layer between your on premise or on premises locations plural and as you're if you've so choosing to work with Microsoft. 169 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:26.820 Jirah Cox: Totally I just say I just say on Prem right simplify away and have to worry about the grammar. 170 00:20:27.540 --> 00:20:33.900 Jirah Cox: But yeah for sure right it to be it's super super understandable right that a popular offering popular session would be. 171 00:20:34.470 --> 00:20:41.910 Jirah Cox: No, no, I want the giant whiteboard give me all the diagrams how do I know this works on aws show me how this works on azure. 172 00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:56.580 Jirah Cox: right because I need to start planning my deployments to for that kind of replication interoperability, you know as that leaves preview how do I plan to operationalize that within my my environment, you know if I was a customer, this is 100% of session that I would be sitting in. 173 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:04.710 Andy Whiteside: And just so we're clear as your clusters on azure still a it's a tech preview right do we have any updates on it going live. 174 00:21:05.010 --> 00:21:09.240 Jirah Cox: It is in preview and I, I have no updates you have you have all my updates. 175 00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:10.380 Andy Whiteside: All right, no. 176 00:21:12.210 --> 00:21:13.290 Andy Whiteside: or any thoughts between. 177 00:21:13.290 --> 00:21:15.390 Jirah Cox: I still remain agnostic as to whether or not it. 178 00:21:15.540 --> 00:21:18.330 Jirah Cox: can or cannot run windows 10 multiple user. 179 00:21:19.770 --> 00:21:23.310 Jirah Cox: Account forgot multi session sorry I that's how bad I haven't been rising my homework. 180 00:21:23.490 --> 00:21:26.190 Andy Whiteside: i've been kind of beat down that one i've kind of given up we'll see. 181 00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:30.120 Andy Whiteside: And rightfully so it sounds like that. 182 00:21:30.330 --> 00:21:38.070 Andy Whiteside: Multi session went in when the 11 needs to come out of the Microsoft store or what do they call it store where they call it. 183 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.300 Harvey Green: If you did not ask that I could have told you yeah the. 184 00:21:47.550 --> 00:21:48.450 Harvey Green: Now I gotta look. 185 00:21:49.170 --> 00:21:49.740 Andy Whiteside: We don't know. 186 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.220 Andy Whiteside: All right, that's this one is. 187 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:57.360 Andy Whiteside: The database complexity puzzle I think we're talking error, here we talking here. 188 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.300 number five. 189 00:22:01.800 --> 00:22:12.210 Jirah Cox: yeah I think it's it's how how to use the next platform to simplify a database environment right and that would an error is at the heart of all of that right, how do I. 190 00:22:12.810 --> 00:22:25.950 Jirah Cox: How do I use loss storage holding copies of the same data, how do I deploy databases database servers faster, how do I patch them right, how do I maintain if you have 2000 database servers today. 191 00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:36.390 Jirah Cox: there's probably already so i'm going to effort, about how I keep them all patched to approved baseline right, how do I do that process more simply, or if I don't know that process today how I get one. 192 00:22:38.010 --> 00:22:42.480 Jirah Cox: You know how do I bring more automation to all of my deployments and make all that run faster. 193 00:22:43.380 --> 00:22:52.500 Andy Whiteside: And are these error made his database, they can be unique each one unique or they need to be all the same content and records. 194 00:22:52.560 --> 00:23:01.830 Jirah Cox: know they can't be 100% you like there's you know era era does for things pop quiz for myself here don't do it all for. 195 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:14.460 Jirah Cox: copied into management right So if you have prod Dev test environments that are all the same data, how do I get get copies done faster and be take up less space, making all this copies right quit doing backups and restores for each copy. 196 00:23:15.510 --> 00:23:22.650 Jirah Cox: automation for deployments whether that's databases or database servers patching security and. 197 00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:31.710 Jirah Cox: let's say three for now there's a fourth and they'll come to me, but I have yet to meet a customer that needs all three equally right usually one of those. 198 00:23:32.100 --> 00:23:41.430 Jirah Cox: is like the more important initiative right like i've got I spend too much time too much space stamping out copies of my prod Dev test QA smoke test you at. 199 00:23:41.820 --> 00:23:47.820 Jirah Cox: database environments right and i'm just all day long copying data around and it takes up space or. 200 00:23:48.300 --> 00:23:56.640 Jirah Cox: You know the automation right like I want to open an APP store for my DVDs and let them, you know self service their own database snapshot and database. 201 00:23:57.390 --> 00:24:07.770 Jirah Cox: Deployment or recovery right the last one right, how do I how quickly like do I get back from a database that like goes offline due to either accidental intentional changes. 202 00:24:08.370 --> 00:24:16.200 Jirah Cox: Good intentions ransomware whatever the event was right, how do I how quickly, can I recover that database in place back to the last known good state. 203 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:33.210 Jirah Cox: You know, so all that stuff there's ways to solve, almost all of that, especially if you're good at scripting but how do I do that simply write in a way that I can get support for for the full stack that I can also roll out and get value out of in weeks and days not years and months. 204 00:24:35.250 --> 00:24:48.090 Harvey Green: yeah I think that's an important point that you hit on to is that you know a lot of times people come into these and try to solve one problem and then accidentally learned that they can solve for. 205 00:24:48.870 --> 00:25:04.710 Harvey Green: Instead of you know, taking something like this and the technology like this, a platform like this and evaluated to solve all four problems at the same time, or all the you know the entire set of problems at the same time, instead of peace milling and one, at a time. 206 00:25:05.820 --> 00:25:17.250 Harvey Green: You know, we I won't jump on my soapbox but that's that's very much the difference between taking care of things one, at a time and actually doing some some solution architect. 207 00:25:19.860 --> 00:25:26.400 Andy Whiteside: So this last one number six here is get more out of your open shift container platform with new tonics. 208 00:25:26.790 --> 00:25:37.980 Andy Whiteside: This is forced me to go out and do some research on Cooper daddy's versus docker which isn't really a thing they shouldn't be versus it should be how Cooper nettie manages container platforms. 209 00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:56.610 Andy Whiteside: New tactics partnering with red hat, so that this becomes part of your on premises, as well as your your cloud story using best to breed of both this is what we covered recently in a podcast just an opportunity right to go out and get some of that content from next. 210 00:25:57.210 --> 00:25:59.730 Jirah Cox: Totally right headline announcement from the from the show. 211 00:26:01.020 --> 00:26:08.340 Jirah Cox: You know, a partnership driven out of both being fantastic technical fits together, as well as. 212 00:26:09.450 --> 00:26:10.980 Jirah Cox: You know, we both enjoy broad. 213 00:26:12.030 --> 00:26:16.800 Jirah Cox: Customer install basis that want us to also work more closely together so good technical fit good relational fit. 214 00:26:18.450 --> 00:26:23.820 Jirah Cox: Definitely a super exciting announcement and yeah so it's understandable that a popular session from the show would be. 215 00:26:24.210 --> 00:26:29.670 Jirah Cox: hey you know what if I know one of those technologies, not the other, I want to learn more about how they work well together. 216 00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:38.610 Jirah Cox: What can I get out of it to your point like you know everyone's on their own journey of of but I know what an APP looks like from 10 years ago. 217 00:26:39.030 --> 00:26:47.520 Jirah Cox: What do you mean I need to turn that one giant APP into 100 little Apps right but i'll talk to one another, that sounds more complex and, in some ways. 218 00:26:48.090 --> 00:26:57.150 Jirah Cox: Arguably, it could be, but what do I get out of that level of application re architected right, what I want 100 microservices and not one giant monolithic service. 219 00:26:58.650 --> 00:27:03.510 Jirah Cox: You know, in terms of automation speeder deployment, the ability to push out changes faster. 220 00:27:04.620 --> 00:27:05.130 Jirah Cox: You know. 221 00:27:06.330 --> 00:27:13.140 Jirah Cox: Easier code testing right, I can know that i'm writing a good better, faster APP as I push out my daily updates. 222 00:27:14.610 --> 00:27:23.520 Jirah Cox: So yeah for sure right like it's it's I think this is this is telling indication that application modernization also. 223 00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:28.680 Jirah Cox: is more popular than we tend to think about or even give airtime to. 224 00:27:29.820 --> 00:27:33.570 Jirah Cox: And, and the customer demand out there for education on it is definitely out there. 225 00:27:34.350 --> 00:27:42.630 Andy Whiteside: But what happened with me, as I was talking to a kid in college of the day, about the hyper converged virtual machines and he went straight to Cooper natives like he just skipped the whole virtual machine part. 226 00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:46.440 Andy Whiteside: is like Why do I need that I got Cooper nettie and i'm like oh. 227 00:27:46.470 --> 00:27:54.750 Andy Whiteside: When so it's it's interesting to watch the next generation and how they'll they'll just think in terms of microservices not machine cancellation. 228 00:27:55.560 --> 00:28:03.930 Jirah Cox: yeah 100% right and it's that's why, today, with my customers, I had to focus around what Apps do you write in house, because the. 229 00:28:04.710 --> 00:28:13.410 Jirah Cox: that's I find the one of the leading indicators of like demand for for microservices platforms containerized platforms. 230 00:28:13.830 --> 00:28:25.560 Jirah Cox: what's going to come right is when is my package commercial software delivered that same form factor, the same way, you know if I gave you an MSI or emc you know how to put that on your laptop you know how to operationalize that on the server. 231 00:28:27.030 --> 00:28:39.390 Jirah Cox: You know, but when it comes to get clone this repo right or you know here's the here's the artifacts every you know plug in you know go go subscribe to this right and spin up 1010 load balanced instances. 232 00:28:39.930 --> 00:28:46.230 Jirah Cox: When that becomes the language of commercial software deployments that's going to be, you know we all need to be ahead of that right. 233 00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:53.130 Andy Whiteside: And how far do you think we are from that or we'll just the as a service. 234 00:28:54.750 --> 00:29:03.810 Andy Whiteside: This kind of enables you well how far do you think we are from that commercial software client, I will say client server software, maybe client services, I don't, how do you talk about it. 235 00:29:04.770 --> 00:29:07.560 Jirah Cox: i've heard i've I already have, so I already have some customers personally who. 236 00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:10.770 Jirah Cox: Have or their past that line of. 237 00:29:11.790 --> 00:29:23.040 Jirah Cox: You know hey I work in it i've been told me to stand up a container services platform, because some of the line of businesses, wants to run software that they're going to go by, that delivers itself as containerized application. 238 00:29:23.340 --> 00:29:23.910 Andy Whiteside: Right so. 239 00:29:24.120 --> 00:29:25.080 Jirah Cox: The pioneers are already there. 240 00:29:26.310 --> 00:29:41.370 Andy Whiteside: And then the Cooper nettie type of system will be responsible for updating those different containers along the way, that will it have intelligence that allows it to test and validate some of those things are let's be at the mercy of your you know you at. 241 00:29:42.330 --> 00:29:58.020 Jirah Cox: Well, so that that comes into I think why Why do I care about running things like open shift itself compared to vanilla Cooper 90s, where I want that ability that intelligence that degree of control to orchestrate my updates. 242 00:29:59.430 --> 00:30:02.520 Jirah Cox: You know, do the right kind of due diligence right Dev testing. 243 00:30:04.110 --> 00:30:08.250 Jirah Cox: You know unit testing, I want to to to know when it's safe to roll up with updates. 244 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:16.710 Jirah Cox: Compared to you know, like vanilla Cooper nettie simply like I go tell it when the power, the container on I tell it where to turn it off right and there's not a lot of oversight intelligence. 245 00:30:17.100 --> 00:30:22.740 Jirah Cox: baked in there, I could bake in that if I wanted to write a good bolt on a bunch of other parts and supervisors, that would do that for me. 246 00:30:24.150 --> 00:30:30.630 Jirah Cox: But why but that's part of the open shift value right is why would I because that comes with the open shift as a platform so. 247 00:30:31.950 --> 00:30:38.910 Jirah Cox: Then you and you certainly need it right, I mean I have it here at my house right for the handful of containers that run my home in 2021. 248 00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:49.620 Jirah Cox: One of them does nothing but look for updates and then tell other containers to go update themselves when updates are available right but I had to add that functionality to you know the delicate readies. 249 00:30:51.120 --> 00:30:52.800 Andy Whiteside: Cooper daddy's for the home, I got it. 250 00:30:55.470 --> 00:31:03.780 Jirah Cox: it's a little out there and and i'll say not yet highly redundant, but don't tell don't tell my my in home customers here. 251 00:31:05.820 --> 00:31:09.210 Andy Whiteside: Well, give an example, what what are you using Cooper nettie is a home for. 252 00:31:12.090 --> 00:31:14.040 Jirah Cox: What am I using cameras at home for so one of them. 253 00:31:15.060 --> 00:31:26.940 Jirah Cox: One of them does analytics on my in home media libraries right just because I want to know that i'm a nerd like what's being streamed, what are the top shows and movies, that my kids are watching from my personal media library. 254 00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:31.800 Jirah Cox: One of them does one of the run the DNS server right that. 255 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:44.130 Jirah Cox: That also does ad blocking
