>>from the Cube Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, connecting with thought leaders all around the world. This is a cube conversation. >>Hey, welcome back. You're ready, Jeffrey here with the Cuban Apollo Alto studios today, and we're excited. You know, we're slowly coming out of the, uh, out of the summer season. We're getting ready to jump back into the fall. Season, of course, is still covet. Everything is still digital. But you know, what we're seeing is a digital events allow a lot of things that you couldn't do in the physical space. Mainly get a lot more people to attend that don't have to get in airplanes and file over the country. So to preview this brand new inaugural event that's coming up in about a month, we have We have a new guest. He's Dave and Everen. He is the senior vice president of marketing. Former ran tous. Dave. Great to see you. >>Happy to be here today. Thank you. >>Yeah. So tell us about this inaugural event. You know, we did an event with Miranda's years ago. I had to look it up like 2014. 15. Open stack was hot and you guys sponsored a community event in the Bay Area because the open stack events used to move all over the country each and every year. But you guys said, and the top one here in the Bay Area. But now you're launching something brand new based on some new activity that you guys have been up to over the last several months. So let us give us give us the word. >>Yeah, absolutely. So we definitely have been organizing community events in a variety of open source communities over the years. And, you know, we saw really, really good success with with the Cube And are those events in opens tax Silicon Valley days? And, you know, with the way things have gone this year, we've really seen that virtual events could be very successful and provide a new, maybe slightly different form of engagement but still very high level of engagement for our guests and eso. We're excited to put this together and invite the entire cloud native industry to join us and learn about some of the things that Mantis has been working on in recent months. A zwelling as some of the interesting things that are going on in the Cloud native and kubernetes community >>Great. So it's the inaugural event is called Moran Sous launchpad 2020. The Wares and the Winds in September 16th. So we're about a month away and it's all online is their registration. Costars is free for the community. >>It's absolutely free. Eso everyone is welcome to attend You. Just visit Miranda's dot com and you'll see the info for registering for the event and we'd love it. We love to see you there. It's gonna be a fantastic event. We have multiple tracks catering to developers, operators, general industry. Um, you know, participants in the community and eso we'd be happy to see you on join us on and learn about some of the some of the things we're working on. >>That's awesome. So let's back up a step for people that have been paying as close attention as they might have. Right? So you guys purchase, um, assets from Docker at the end of last year, really taken over there, they're they're kind of enterprise solutions, and you've been doing some work with that. Now, what's interesting is we we cover docker con, um, A couple of months ago, a couple three months ago. Time time moves fast. They had a tremendously successful digital event. 70,000 registrants, people coming from all over the world. I think they're physical. Event used to be like four or 5000 people at the peak, maybe 6000 Really tremendous success. But a lot of that success was driven, really by the by the strength of the community. The docker community is so passionate. And what struck me about that event is this is not the first time these people get together. You know, this is not ah, once a year, kind of sharing of information and sharing ideas, but kind of the passion and and the friendships and the sharing of information is so, so good. You know, it's a super or, um, rich development community. You guys have really now taken advantage of that. But you're doing your Miranda's thing. You're bringing your own technology to it and really taking it to more of an enterprise solution. So I wonder if you can kind of walk people through the process of, you know, you have the acquisition late last year. You guys been hard at work. What are we gonna see on September 16. >>Sure, absolutely. And, you know, just thio Give credit Thio Docker for putting on an amazing event with Dr Khan this year. Uh, you know, you mentioned 70,000 registrants. That's an astounding number. And you know, it really is a testament thio. You know, the community that they've built over the years and continue to serve eso We're really, really happy for Docker as they kind of move into, you know, the next the next path in their journey and, you know, focus more on the developer oriented, um, solution and go to market. So, uh, they did a fantastic job with the event. And, you know, I think that they continue toe connect with their community throughout the year on That's part of what drives What drove so many attendees to the event assed faras our our history and progress with with Dr Enterprise eso. As you mentioned mid November last year, we did acquire Doctor Enterprise assets from Docker Inc and, um, right away we noticed tremendous synergy in our product road maps and even in the in the team's eso that came together really, really quickly and we started executing on a Siris of releases. Um that are starting Thio, you know, be introduced into the market. Um, you know, one was introduced in late May and that was the first major release of Dr Enterprise produced exclusively by more antis. And we're going to announce at the launch pad 2020 event. Our next major release of the Doctor Enterprise Technology, which will for the first time include kubernetes related in life cycle management related technology from Mirant is eso. It's a huge milestone for our company. Huge benefit Thio our customers on and the broader user community around Dr Enterprise. We're super excited. Thio provide a lot of a lot of compelling and detailed content around the new technology that will be announcing at the event. >>So I'm looking at the at the website with with the agenda and there's a little teaser here right in the middle of the spaceship Docker Enterprise Container Cloud. So, um, and I glanced into you got a great little layout, five tracks, keynote track D container track operations and I t developer track and keep track. But I did. I went ahead and clicked on the keynote track and I see the big reveal so I love the opening keynote at at 8 a.m. On the 76 on the September 16th is right. Um, I, Enel CEO who have had on many, many times, has the big reveal Docker Enterprise Container Cloud. So without stealing any thunder, uh, can you give us any any little inside inside baseball on on what people should expect or what they can get excited about for that big announcement? >>Sure, absolutely so I definitely don't want to steal any thunder from Adrian, our CEO. But you know, we did include a few Easter eggs, so to speak, in the website on Dr Enterprise. Container Cloud is absolutely the biggest story out of the bunch eso that's visible on the on the rocket ship as you noticed, and in the agenda it will be revealed during Adrian's keynote, and every every word in the product name is important, right? So Dr Enterprise, based on Dr Enterprise Platform Container Cloud and there's the new word in there really is Cloud eso. I think, um, people are going to be surprised at the groundbreaking territory that were forging with with this release along the lines of a cloud experience and what we are going to provide to not only I t operations and the Op Graders and Dev ops for cloud environment, but also for the developers and the experience that we could bring to developers As they become more dependent on kubernetes and get more hands on with kubernetes. We think that we're going thio provide ah lot of ways for them to be more empowered with kubernetes while at the same time lowering the bar, the bar or the barrier of entry for kubernetes. As many enterprises have have told us that you know kubernetes can be difficult for the broader developer community inside the organization Thio interact with right? So this is, uh, you know, a strategic underpinning of our our product strategy. And this is really the first step in a non going launch of technologies that we're going to make bigger netease easier for developing. >>I was gonna say the other Easter egg that's all over the agenda, as I'm just kind of looking through the agenda. It's kubernetes on 80 infrastructure multi cloud kubernetes Miranda's open stack on kubernetes. So Goober Netease plays a huge part and you know, we talk a lot about kubernetes at all the events that we cover. But as you said, kind of the new theme that we're hearing a little bit more Morris is the difficulty and actually managing it so looking, kind of beyond the actual technology to the operations and the execution in production. And it sounds like you guys might have a few things up your sleeve to help people be more successful in in and actually kubernetes in production. >>Yeah, absolutely. So, uh, kubernetes is the focus of most of the companies in our space. Obviously, we think that we have some ideas for how we can, you know, really begin thio enable enable it to fulfill its promise as the operating system for the cloud eso. If we think about the ecosystem that's formed around kubernetes, uh, you know, it's it's now really being held back on Lee by adoption user adoption. And so that's where our focus in our product strategy really lives is around. How can we accelerate the move to kubernetes and accelerate the move to cloud native applications on? But in order to provide that acceleration catalyst, you need to be able to address the needs of not only the operators and make their lives easier while still giving them the tools they need for things like policy enforcement and operational insights. At the same time, Foster, you know, a grassroots, um, upswell of developer adoption within their company on bond Really help the I t. Operations team serve their customers the developers more effectively. >>Well, Dave, it sounds like a great event. We we had a great time covering those open stack events with you guys. We've covered the doctor events for years and years and years. Eso super engaged community and and thanks for, you know, inviting us back Thio to cover this inaugural event as well.
