The Pilot - Meet the Technologists!

In this show I get over-excited about AI/ML (sorry Martijn and Mandy!) We have a great discussion around A.I. in general and also A.I. in the  world of Datacenter and Cloud. Mandy shares her views on A.I. in  consumerism (Tesla, thermostats, chat-bots) whilst Martijn ponders the often tricky ethics around A.I. and it's biases. We also touch on the  history of A.I. and spend some time discussing our partnership with  NVIDIA and the joint "Project Monterey" Check out these articles for further reading: Observe, Engage and Act - AIOps with vRealize - (Part 1) AI/ML Demystified AIOps - Use Some Intelligence (Part 1) AI/ML for Enterprise: Part1 (Performance, Scale and Multi-Tasking)

Hi Everyone, We're really on a roll now! I'm pleased to share with you episode three of the Cloud Technologist Show. This time we're talking all about DevOps. If you ever wanted a "concise" definition of what DevOps is, all three of us give it a go (Warning: concise means different things to each of us!). We also talk about the history of DevOps, the value for the business, tool chains, shifting left and more. Enjoy! Tobias. As our resident DevOps specialist, Mandy has a whole host of blogs to check out in combination with this episode, including: What Does Shift-Left Really Mean for IT Platform Teams? - Mandy Storbakken (https://cloud.vmware.com/community/2021/05/11/shift-left-platform-teams/) DevOps History – How Did We Get Here? - Mandy Storbakken (https://cloud.vmware.com/community/2020/05/27/devops-where-are-we-and-how-did-we-get-here/)

As a business embarking on a multi-cloud transformation, you probably already have an application strategy (maybe based on the 5 Rs), you probably also have a cloud strategy, defining which combination of private and public clouds. Today we dive into the topic of binding those two together, building a cloud operating model to maximize the benefits of both. Please check out the following links for more info on the Cloud Operating Model: Infographic (Tobias) - https://cloudtechnologist.fm/2021/05/28/infographic-cloud-operating-model/ C.O.M.

In our first episode, we talk about the role of a Cloud Technologist and  the types of things we're seeing in the cloud industry today. Plus we  get to know each other a little better.
