>> live from Las Vegas. It's the queue covering del Technologies. World twenty nineteen. Brought to you by Del Technologies and its ecosystem partners. >> Welcome on board technologies World. Lisa Martin with Rebecca Night for the first time hosting together. And I have to say this is probably one of my favorite times of del technologies world because we have dogs on the Cube joining us for Michael Angel Pause. We've got Alicia Halloran. She's back. She's a Q. Pietro's here last year. Your Fallen here, Here's OD and Gracie and holding Creasy is Denise Michael's Cox Global Experiential marketing from Del Technologies. Tony's Thank you for joining us as well. Certainly a lot of female power. You right out. He's just letting a male hanging out. Alicia, it's so good to have you back Way have enjoyed being having our set Next. Tio Michael's age. Applause again. This year. It's so great to hear barking. Yeah, when you're talking about, I think I'm at home so true. Talk to us a little bit about Michael's Angel. Pause your experience as a volunteer out. Yeah, D'Oh well, first of all, Michael Angel paused >> is was a static to nonprofit established in Las Vegas, and they have three main programs. They have a community dog program, which really strengthens the bonds between people and their animals. And they have a therapy dog program, which is what these lovelies air part of, and we just love to bring joy and delight everywhere we go. And then they also have a service dog training, which allows people with autism or with their mobility issues or any kind of medical alert. So that's the main process of what Michael Angel paused does way air volunteers with them. We have loved being volunteers with them. Uh, OD is blind, and we managed to get him through the therapy dog program, and we love to come to conferences and just really help people feel better. And Gracie, of course, is just a little beauties. So, >> yeah, so Denise, tell me a little bit about why Dell has partnered with this with this organ, which is a great organization. And why might people need to feel better when they're out of touch? Honor. That's been may be related to this morning's kid note address with the anxiety, sometimes technology way. You do like >> to say we think of everything for Del Technologies world. So what is one more thing? How to surprise and delight our costumers? Air attendees here. And also it's really important for us as Del Technologies to give back to the community. And so it's a great opportunity to give back to great organization like Michael's Angels. Pause and surprise and delight our guests with the with several dogs to pet. Because you know, when you go to a conference when you travel, you miss your pets a lot. A lot of people miss their dogs, and so we're here for them to get a dog fix or maybe just come in for a few minutes. Distress. Er, jetsam dogs come out happy. Everyone who walks in, walks in, smiling and walks out, smiling bigger. So it's a great place. Tio work here, too. >> We were hearing last year that Michael Age, a PAS exhibit exhibit, was one of the most popular places for Get fourteen fifteen thousand people to congregate. Ru. Do you experience the same thing this year? Yes, >> definitely, definitely didn't really. It's been really busy, like these little ebbs and flows like you just catch a breath and then twenty five people are there and they're all like, Oh, it's so great. It's so great to see people relax and be able to kind of sit down and take a breath, which I think is really hard in a conference like this. >> It is, and it's also STD. So you mentioned it's nice to recognize that they're all people. They all have families, a lot of them, whether their pet owners or not. It's just a nice way to just sort of get back to reality, maybe come down from the cloud right on and actually have a little bit of something that just brings a just a smile to your heart. Yes, >> bring some joy even without technology. >> So we know the humans love it. But here, the Toups, how are they doing? Because, as you said, they usually you're going toe spills There. You told each home write and write and how are they handling? They >> handle it. Amazingly, they love to come. You know, the energy is very, very different, so they can be a little bit more rambunctious. They could move a little bit more because they're not working with somebody that is in hospice or you know has an illness. So it's people who are exactly feeling sad that they don't have their animals with them, and they get to get cuddled and squeezed and they love it. So it's a wonderful experience for them. They love to do it. She kind of looks a little sleepy, but that's kind of her way of being like >> he's himself. You're >> yeah, Just loves it. What is some of the reactions elation that you've experience out in the field like, for example, in the hospital or a hospice organization or in firemen's Yeah, that you see patients. Oh, yeah, they light owns, >> they light up. I mean, when you go to a hospital, people are in a hospital, and so everything is very regimented, their way woken up in the middle of the night to do whatever needs to be done. And people are kind of like talking about them, but not actually to them, and that animals don't differentiate there just like we want to sit with you, and that's what we're going to do. We're just going to sit with you, so it gives them a moment to just relax again and not have to think about. When's the next blood draw? When's the next thing that's gonna happen? So it's a really wonderful, relaxing experience for them. It's it's it's and and the joy that it brings. And I think there's a lot of healing in that that when your feel good, you feel good, you have the ability to heal better. And so I think therapy dogs are so important in a in a hospital environment, and >> this is a two step sort of certification program. They become a therapy dog first, and then they would become a service dog. Or can they go into a hospital as a therapy dog to >> go in as a therapy dog? Yes, so that's That's the work that these guys do service dogs or more about if you have something on illness, or that you have some mobility issues that you need balance or you need if you have PTSD that you need to have a dog with you all the time just to kind of keep you keep you together, which I think everybody understands that it feels good to have an animal with you. So these guys are therapy dogs, which is not the service dogs. >> Got it? Yeah. >> Denise, this is your baby. This thing, The show. Congratulations. It was a great show. Fifteen thousand attendees. Eso money partners. So money. A lot of great energy and a great vibe. Can you just talk a little bit? About what? This year's event This this dull world technologies has meant to you. This has >> been a great event every year. It's a great about. But this year, Thea Energy is even higher, so positive it's always really positive. Be here anyway. And so many more people this year, too. It's just a constant Gogo energy all the time. And it's It's wonderful. It's so fun. I love being part of the organization and proud to be able to say that I helped and some a little bit put this together. And so I'm just happy to be here and proud to be a part of Del Technologies to >> Denise before we let you go and get some well deserved. This's also a charity and philanthropy that's close, and Michael Dell's Hart Can you explain a little bit about that? And how he helps veterans in this way? >> Well, how Michael helps veterans or Michael's Angels pause veterans because they both do. >> Michael, let's talk about Michael Dell for since this is kind of his thing, yeah, well, it's, >> um, like for Del itself, a Michael Dell to is very important to him. To give back to the community is is important to us all. And that's a big part of what we dio and this opportunity to that now contribute event. Veterans like these guys go to that veteran homes and help with, um now Del itself. And Michael Dell also contributes Teo many veteran organizations helping veterans with PTSD. And we saw that last year at Del World talking a lot about continue working with veterans, working through PTSD with the art art for veterans. And so there's many organizations like that we work with our Del Technologies and Michael Dell works with, and that give that >> exit was we heard that maybe there was some support financial support for dogs that go through service training to become service dogs for veterans, which is a pretty extensive process and quite expensive. So nice to hear how much it really doesn't mean to the heart of Adele Denise Alicia. Thank you. Someone like you, but I mean, of course, Odeon, Gracie. Humans think they are. Thanks, guys. Really brought a smile to my heart and I got to go home to my dog with first. She's yet, right? Yeah. Like for Rebecca Knight. I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching The Cube live from Dale Technologies World twenty nineteen. Thanks so much for watching.

>> Narrator: Live from Las Vegas! It's theCUBE! Covering Dell Technologies World 2018, brought to you by Dell EMC and its ecosystem partners. >> Welcome back to Dell Technologies World. I'm Lisa Martin and you might notice some different kind of guests on the program right now. We are live in Las Vegas, day three of Dell Technologies World. We've had lots of great conversations with technologists from many, many companies. But, one of the cool things that's here, if you've heard any dogs barking in the background during any of our segments, there is Michael's Angel Paws actually right next to our set. And this is the second year that they have been with Dell, last year Dell EMC World, now Dell Technologies World. I'm excited to be joined by Alicia Halloran. >> Hi. >> Hi Alicia. >> Hi. >> And we're also joined by Odie and Gracie who are both certified therapy dogs. >> Yes, through Michael's Angel Paws. >> Through Michael's Angel Paws. So this was, I was telling Alicia before we went live that I, when I got to the set Monday morning, I assumed that this area, Michael's Angel Paws, was for attendees of the event who have service dogs. And when I heard, no it's actually part of the event to give people that are here, walking around all day, learning lots of things about technology, just a little bit of respite, I thought that was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. >> Exactly. >> In all the trade shows that I have done. This is your second year participating. >> Yeah, this is the second year that we've done this and it is the most fun event to do because there is so much technology, there's so much going on here and it's so wonderful to have people come by and be able to squeeze our dogs and feel like they're home and think about and talk about their dogs because they're not getting an opportunity to do that at the conference they're working. So, to be able to take a break and just spend some time breathing with some animals, really really good. >> Oh, and I can tell you it does wonders. So, talk to us about therapy dogs. They're both certified. >> Alicia: Right. >> What are the different programs that they go through? >> Well, they start out in obedience, learning how to be dogs and good well-behaved dogs and they pass the Canine Good Citizenship test, and then afterwards, they go through two different levels of therapy dog training. And a lot of that, is based on distraction, being able to be in huge groups of people, big crowds, and maintain their composure, not walk off of tables, and that they can withstand being with people as much. So you kind of figure out if your dog is good enough for it, if they want to do it, and that's really important, they have to want to do it because it is a lot of attention and these guys just love it. >> I'm amazed at how calm they are. >> Yes. >> So this is actually something that's near and dear to Michael Dell's heart. >> Alicia: Yes, yes >> The chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies. Tell us a little bit about his contributions. >> Yeah, he made a generous donation that will provide three scholarships for Michael's Angel Paws for veterans. And what that will do is, it will take three dogs through our therapy dog training program, excuse me, Service Dog Training program and the Service Dog Training program is built to have dogs help veterans in assimilation. And help them with daily activities and Post-traumatic Stress, all sorts of different things. And they're different, those are therapy dogs, so those are dogs that will go everywhere with someone and really take care of them. It's a beautiful, beautiful donation and experience for the veterans to be able to have that. >> Absolutely. That's fantastic. Well, it's been really neat to see how people are reacting to seeing a pen full of dogs. >> Yes, yes. >> In the middle of, you talked about some requirements for them. There have been very loud noises here >> Alicia: Oh yeah. >> Lisa: Every evening, it's basically being in a concert, loads of people. >> Right, yes. >> And it's, I've been very impressed with how calm they are and how people are reacting. You're providing a really nice service and it's really cool to know that this is something that is very near and dear to Michael Dell's heart and Dell Technologies. >> Yeah, that's so wonderful. Yeah, it's so wonderful to be invited to this. It's such an incredible experience and I think it provides a comfort to everybody here. >> Lisa: I agree. >> So, it's very generous. >> I'm sure I'm going to get the sniff test when I get home at 11 o'clock tonight from my dog. >> Oh, yes! >> But we want to thank you, Alicia, for stopping by! >> Yes, it was my pleasure. >> Sharing with us about the program >> Absolutely, it was my pleasure. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you. >> I'm Lisa Martin, otherwise known as Zara's mom. You're watching theCUBE, live from Dell Technologies World in Las Vegas. Thanks for watching. (upbeat music)

>> Narrator: Live from Austin, Texas. It's theCUBE, covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon 2017. Brought to you by Red Hat, the Linux Foundation, and theCUBE's ecosystem partners. >> Hello everyone. Welcome back to theCUBE's exclusive coverage, here live in Austin, Texas for KubeCon and CloudNativeCon. I'm John Furrier, the co-founder of SiliconANGLE Media with my co-host Stu Miniman, Next is Nigel Poulten, who's the author of the Kubernetes book, also container guru, trainer, been in the business for a long time in the community. Great to have you on for our intro. >> Thank you >> Stu, keynote, let's get down to it. What was the big highlights? >> Yeah, well, first of all John, we've officially entered KubeCon Days here. So CloudNativeCon was yesterday. We've got two more days of KubeCon. Kelsey Hightower, you know, we had him on theCUBE yesterday. Phenomenal speaker, everybody's looking forward to him. Lines to talk to him. Made sure that there was a standing ovation before and after his. Very demo heavy. I mean, you know, this group loves it. There were a lot of, you know, great pithy lines. Arguments over, you know, which is the best language, which is the best way to do things? Knocking on things like YAML. So, it was definitely a fun, geeky discussion. I'm a big Game of Thrones fan. So I loved to see season seven delivered on Kubernetes. >> What was the summary of the keynote? What was the take? >> So I think from my perspective, the summary was Kubernetes is boring. Which translates to us generally, as in it's maturing. It's something that you might want to be able to trust in your production environment, if you're an enterprise. I mean, look, as a technology guy we always think we like to know the details, the weeds. And we like to play with YAML and stuff like that. But at the end of the day, business is down and developers tend not to want to. They want a smooth pipeline. And that's boring, and so boring is good. >> Yeah, and I do want to poke at it a little bit, Nigel, I definitely want your opinion on this, because there are certain technologies we say, "Oh right, it's reached that boring phase", which means it's kind of steady state. Kubernetes is not like One Dot Nine. Coming into the show it was like, how complex it is. Oh my God, there's all these things above and below. Yin gave a really nice keynote showing kind of a layer cake there. >> Yeah. >> I think maybe the Kubernetes layer might be, it's stable enough and used, and people can use it. But this ecosystem by no means is it boring. >> No >> And there's lots of things to make out. What are you seeing? >> Totally, and it's that definition of boring, really. So I would say boring would translate into usable. But you're right, in no way is it boring in any sense. In fact, it's exciting and it's dangerous as well. >> Yeah, and ... >> So I'll give you an example, right. So Kubernetes is massively successful. I think we all grock that at the moment, okay. But it's almost potentially going to be a victim of it's own success. It's always at one of the many summits that was going on before KubeCon and CloudNativeCon started, and it was about networking and there was a bunch of guys here from big carriers and they really want to take this simple networking model that Kubernetes currently has and make it fit their needs, which would make it really complex, dare I say, almost OpenStack Neutron. (laughing) And I think there's so many people here at this conference right now that want to take Kubernetes and use it for their own purposes. And as successful as it is, and as much uptake as it's got, there is a potential danger there, I think, that it explodes out of control, and I don't want to knock OpenStack, but becomes difficult and not what we want it to be, and that's dangerous for them. >> Nigel, you bring up a great point here, because something we've been looking at is every time we abstract or make this new design model, it's "Oh well". We want to make sure the developer doesn't have to worry about that infrastructure. Clayton from Red Hat, we had him on theCUBE, and he talked about it in the keynote, boring means when I write my code I don't have to think about the infrastructure, but networking and storage. Networking some of the basis pieces are done but there's a lot of activity in that space, and storage, we're still arguing over what Container Native Storage should be, what CloudNative storage should be. So it's still to my definition, it's not boring. That's the direction, and I like it. Kind of was where we talked about invisible infrastructure. >> Yeah >> What do you see? You've got a heavy background on that side too. >> So I think I quite like this space that networking is at within Kubernetes. It's simple, and that works for me, right. Storage is certainly, it's still playing catch up there, and I think a lot of decisions still need to be made. The future, in my opinion, is still not clear there. But I think a lot of games have got to be played to say, now how far do we take networking, and how far do we take storage and things like that so that it, in the one sense doesn't balloon out of control, but on the other side you do want it to meet more use cases than just the very basic use cases. So, I mean, that plays back to my idea that that danger aspect of Kubernetes, it seems to have won in the orchestration space at the moment, but I think the road ahead, there still loads of potholes, and there's tight bends, and there's cliff edges and things that we still could fall off, and that's exciting. >> Nigel, your dangerous comment reminds me of some of the early days of V-M-ware. >> Nigel: Right >> You know, people that would get in there, they'd do some really cool things, they'd write it up, share it with the community. And absolutely, it feels like that, almost even bigger. >> Yeah, like the top layer that interfaces with the developers and things like that, that's getting pretty stable. But underneath, I mean, that is a happening place underneath right now, and I imagine it's going to be a happening place for quite a few years. >> What about service meshes and also pluggable architectures? Because that seems to be the answer to the dangerous question. Oh don't worry about it, carriers and what not. You can just build pluggable architectures, no one's going to get hurt. >> Nigel: Yeah >> Not ready for prime time? What's your thoughts? >> So I think service mesh is almost certainly in my opinion, the hot topic of the conference so far. I like this idea of it getting born and stuff, and that's good for the project. But if there's one take away, if it's something that you're not quite clued upon at the moment, go away and look into service mesh. I've got to do a lot of that myself, to be perfectly honest. But this whole idea of running like sidecar containers and what have you, inside of the pods, alongside your application to look at your ingress traffic, your incoming traffic, your outgoing traffic. It's all cool and it can add so much functionality and make it so much more usable to a lot of users. But at the same time there's not ... I don't know, right, look I'm a little bit old fashioned. I remember the days of deploying agents on servers. And we would have server bills that had agent upon agent upon agent. And we have this backlash in the industry of like, you're not bringing your product in vendor x, y or z, okay. If it deploys an agent, we're going fully agentless here. We're sick of managing all these different agents in our stack, and I wonder again, playing to the danger topic here, that like, are we going to end up having loads of these sidecar containers in our pods that are affectively the modern day agents that we then have to manage, and consume resources >> Explain the sidecar generation, it's important. Take a minute to explain the dynamic because containerization has been around for awhile, Google and everyone else knows that. >> Nigel: Yeah. >> But Docker really put it on the map. Now the commoditization of containers with Kubernetes. What's this sidecar thing about? >> Nigel: Okay >> Quick, take a minute to explain to the folks. >> Right, so in the Kubernetes world I guess the atomic unit of deployment, the equivalent of a V-M from the V-M World space would be the pod, which is effectively a container, right? But within that pod you run your application container. And I think for most people you run one container inside of that pod, it's your application, right? What we're starting to see now is, and Kubernetes has always had this ability to run multiple containers inside of a pod. Most people don't do it. And it seems that a lot of the external projects, and a lot of the third party vendors are starting to pick up on this and say, "Alright, well let's run another container "Inside of that pod". It's not your actual application and we call it a sidecar container. And it adds functionality and what have you, but is also potentially eats through resources, it makes your deployments maybe more complicated. I mean it's always a trade off, isn't it? >> Yeah >> You get additional functionality but it's never for free. >> Yeah it's overhead. Alright, talk about the customer guys. What we saw in keynote, we saw HBO on stage. How are customers using Kubernetes? Because I'm trying to put my finger on it. I love Orchestrate, I know what that does, and I understand the benefits, but how are actually people using it today? >> So I think it's a little bit like the whole container thing, right? The early adopters of the Netflix's and the HBOs and the people like that that have got large engineering teams, that have a lot of developers on staff, they're really just comfortable going and taking these new technologies, and rolling them themselves, and they've got this appetite for danger, again within their organization almost. Their risk taking organizations, right. They're all over the containers and the Kubernetes. The more traditional enterprises I think are still kicking the tires. They're still throwing out the occasional new project within the organization and saying, "Let's test the waters with this new feature "That we want to add to our main product", or "We've got something new, "Let's try containers and Kubernetes." They're certain, at least the ones that I speak to, certainly not at the phase where they're taking their legacy apps. >> HBO was using it for like traffic, identifying ingress, you mentioned that earlier, I mean basic stuff. Not a lot of heavy lifting, or is it? >> Well, I think the HBO, I mean ... How much they ran the season seven of Game of Thrones on Kubernetes. I mean, I'm sure there was some non-Kubernetes stuff in there as well, but it seemed like from the presentation pretty much, well, a lot of that stuff was running containers and Kubernetes, and lets be fair, when it comes to HBO, Game of Thrones is like their, it's their killer product at the end of the day, isn't it? And so they've taken a risk there with that. >> Yeah >> But again you know HBO, a rare... >> There's a lot of online viewers, by the way on that too. >> Yeah. >> With HBO Go. >> Oh, an insane number! But I would say compared to a traditional enterprise they're a risk taking organization. They live in the Cloud. They like living on the edge. They're willing to take risks with new technologies to push the product forward. >> Alright, so I want to get your guys' thoughts on a tweet I saw out there. "Think of Kubernetes as the colonel "For modern distributed systems. "It's not about zero ops, it's about op power tools "to unlock developer productivity." Craig McLuckie from Heptio mentioned that on stage. Really kind of rallying around Kubernetes. Thoughts on that quote? What does that mean? >> So I mean John, you know there was for a while people saying, "How do we deprecate? "Or even go to kind of noOps?" Absolutely, many of the keynotes talked about who's deploying them and who's running them. We're not talking about eliminating ops. Even when I can have a voice assistant help roll things out, they're still absolutely a major piece of who needs to run this, but the right things to the right part of the organization. >> Yeah, I think instead of using the word colonel maybe use the word Linux, you know. Looking at Kubernetes as the Linux of the Cloud, and that's not my term, I've heard other people say it. But it's open source for a start like Linux is, it's got a great thriving community of people contributing to it. You can fork it, you can do what ever you want with it, but if you're going to deploy a CloudNative application right now, then Kubernetes is that substrate. You've just got to look at what came out of re:Invent. So A-W-S is now offering a native Kubernetes hosted service, obviously Google does it, Azure does it with Microsoft. They're all picking up on this realizing that people deploying CloudNative apps, they're going to be deploying it on Kubernetes. >> Thoughts about Red Hat. I just saw Gabe Monroy, the keynote, Stu. Red Hat's contribution to hardening Kubernetes cannot be overstated. C-C OpenShift And we had Bryan Gracie on yesterday. I mean OpenShift, what a bet. Microsoft betting heavily on Kubernetes. Google obviously sees this as an opportunity. Multi-Cloud fantasies out there somewhere, but that's what customers are kind of asking for, not yet in tangible product, but this is interesting. You've got Red Hat, the king of the enterprise, OpenSource. >> Nigel: Absolutely, yeah. >> No debate about that. Microsoft and Google, old guard with Microsoft and then new guard in Google. Really if they don't throw a line at the main Cloud trend with Kubernetes, they could be left in the dust. So I see a lot of things at play. How is the Red Hat and the Kubernetes investment paying off? How do you guys see that playing out? Good strategic move, headroom to it? What comments and caller commentary on that? >> Well I think if you compare Red Hat to Microsoft, if you don't mind me doing that, Microsoft has a cash cow in Windows in the past and I think it quickly realized that the cash cow was not going to live forever, and they invested heavily in Azure. Red Hat live a lot, I guess as well, off support contracts and things like that, the Red Hat enterprise Linux. How long of a tail that has, I'm not sure. So certainly they're doing at least, they're looking in the right direction at least by investing heavily in Kubernetes. If they want to go in and be the enterprise's trusted Kubernetes partner, I think they've got a great story. They've contributed a ton to it. They're already in the door at most enterprises, and I think you couple those two things together if the enterprise is going to adopt Kubernetes at some point. I'm not saying they've go the best story, but they've got a pretty decent story. >> Alright, in the last minute I want to ask both you guys this question because it's been kind of on my mind, I've been thinking about it. Maybe I'm overstretching here but three day conference, one day to CloudNative, two days to Kubernetes, KubeCon. Why? More important? Growing community? CloudNative I think, would be probably stronger sessions. Is it because there's more emphasis on the Kubernetes? >> Kubernetes is the core, Kubernetes is what started the C-N-C-F. >> John: Yeah >> All the other projects really build off to it. I think it's pretty... >> It needs more attention. >> Kubernetes, I mean, while there's ... You know I love Kelsey's line this morning. He looked out at the audience he says, "I think everyone that's running Kubernetes "In the globe is here." So, there's jokes about how many people are actually running in production >> Yeah, they're probably here. >> So look, there's still so many people that are getting the Kubernetes 1-0-1. The whole CloudNative, all of these other projects are all building off of it. I think it's really straight forward on there. We even heard, do we call it the C-N-C-F? Do we rename it to something that's a little more Kubernetes focused? Because CloudNative gets talked about some, there's service mesh, absolutely Nigel, it was the buzz coming into the show. I hear those sessions are overflowing here. We didn't even get to talk about, there's like another alternative to Istio that's there. >> And Lou Tucker, by the way, affirmed that same thread yesterday about the service mesh. Nigel, final word for you on this segment. How big order of magnitude and important is Kubernetes? I mean given you've seen, talk about agent-ism in the old days, and all the ways that have come, that's been kind of incremental proving balls been moved down the field here and there. And some big chunk yardage, if you will, use this football analogy. How big, because I've seen Kubernetes just go from here to here. >> Yeah >> Really move the need along the community, it's galvanized. How important is Kubernetes, from an order of magnitude, when we look back a few years from now, what are we going to be saying? "Hey, remember KubeCon in 2017?" How important is Kubernetes? >> Well, can I say I think it's really early days, okay? And I like the analogy that it is the Linux of the Cloud or of CloudNative, okay? But I think there's danger in that as well because the world is changing so fast now. I mean Linux has lived for a very long time, okay. Will Kubernetes live that long or will it be replaced by something else? It probably will be, but I do feel these are early days, and I think it has got a long stretch ahead. A long stretch as in like... >> John: Yeah. >> Good four or five years. And within two to three years, you know, just about every organization in my opinion is going to have some Kubernetes in it. >> And the beginning signs of maturity's coming. Stack Wars too, all the vendors really trying to figure out, strategically it's like a 3-D chess match right now. Open source is kind of like arbiter of this, really good stuff. I think it's going to be super important. Thanks for the commentary. kicking off day two of Cube exclusive coverage here at KubeCon. CloudNativeCon was yesterday. Two days of KubeCon. We'll be back with more live coverage. From theCUBE, I'm John Furrier. Stu Miniman and Nigel Poulten after this short break. (light techno music)

it's the cube covering vmworld 2015 brought to you by VMware and its ecosystem sponsors and now your host dave vellante welcome back to vmworld 2015 we're here at moscone north this is the cube the cube goes out we extract the signal from the noise Brian Gracie and I are really thrilled we have a jay patel here is the senior vice president of product development for VMware cloud services the future I love it yeah great to see you thanks for coming on the cube appreciated thanks so big event here we saw Monday the announcement of you know the hybrid cloud the strategy you laying out a lot of vision it's a lot of products that you can get today a lot that you know have a little road map to them but huge crowd would think the number is Robin told us yesterday 23,000 absolutely great energy so congratulations how do you feel feel great he'll be tired to feel great the excitement the momentum it's really great conversation with customers partners it's been a good VMO how have you spent your time here you do in customer meetings presentations no it's a lot of press interviews for presentations a lot of service provider meetings I'm also responsible with bill for the vCloud air network business mm-hmm it's refreshing to see that we've kind of struck the right balance between having our own service but also enabling our service provider community so so what so talk about the scope of your responsibility so I work for Bill father's I'm part of the vcard survey because air our cloud services be you we have two roles we are a proud provide ourselves which is vCloud air with products or presence in the North America amia Japan and the latest edition big Australia so in this case we're standing up a VMware operated cloud and we're running that we also provide all our IP that we build for a cloud we make that available to our service provider partners we have 4,000 service provider partners who leverage VMware technology to run a VMware power cloud so for us success is delivering on both fronts VMV cloud air as a business but also VMware power cloud and owning the public cloud market with vmware technology that's really my juicy responsible for for strategy the auto service you want P&L absolutely so with Bill I'm responsible for running the service ov powder and then my partner Jeff waters works for bill is responsible to be cloudier network where we take my software and monetize that to the ricotta and not work to help them power their car as well okay so you made native announcements this week maybe you could take us through those and in fact you know what why don't we back up can you kind of give us the journey of we caught the offering yeah absolutely so we caught there a two-year-old service when we first started you know North America predominantly with three data centers we extended to five we added our FedRAMP certified data centers so on one scale we started to provide the geographic reach we opened our UK data center than Germany joint venture with Softbank and then a joint venture with Telstra for Australia in Japan so we've got the geographic reach we were able to kind of serve directly 1880 some odd percent of the core cloud market so let's hear one cloud markets in the regions there we're going native in those market as a service provider we also then took our technology which is vcd which is we cloud director and we're just rolling out an announcement of our 80 product this quarter which is our cloudstack our on-demand platform our cloud platform make that available to our service provider partners and with the rest of the partners there 99 percent coverage of the global cloud market today so VMware today are pretty proud to say you can get a VMware cloud service anywhere in the world ninety-nine percent come so what about the reactions to what was announced this week you know I think from the tech weenies in us we love the remotion across on frame and public cloud that that applause of having the vm move from on prem live into a week where a couple of customers say you know what I've been asking that for three years it's good to see you finally delivering on that a hard technology problem but that was probably the most sexy announcement if you will from a technology perspective on the second side it's all about containers in in that example I'll ask Pat because I asked him to square the circle for me I don't if you heard this question whereas you would always here for instance joe tucci and paul gill senior talk about the advantage that the hyper scalars had because of homogeneity right yet you've said your strategy is to manage heterogeneous cloud environment so how do we do that and Pat's point was well for certain things we have to have homogeneity and I'm presuming that demo is one where you've got to have homogeneity to me the world is going to be about what I call compatibility right how do I make sure that I have a compatible cloud and it's going to be infrastructure compatibility and then more importantly application compatible if I cannot make my application workload portables how I'm going to move the workload to where I needed to run so that big technical challenges are making the workload portable at the infrastructure level because of the hypervisor and some of the work we've done on NSX etc we're making the infrastructure programmable and abstracting away the workload from the infrastructure we're decoupling the binding of the application and the infrastructure from the physical infrastructure and then the next step is how do I make it easily available on any cloud which is the work we're sorry important when you announced the offering four years ago you made a big deal that look we are going to share the IP with our ecosystem you really laid down that commit we got a lot of questions about it absolutely probably got some heat too but but how has that worked out how is it at all you know give us a passing grade I think we could do better then I'll be honest where we've done a great job as we've invested in the people we come up with something called a V cloud technology kit we've taken our best practices and how to build it we release vcd 80 which is a capability but our customers one that we motion capably tomorrow so that lag between us having something we demo to getting the hands of service provider we need a string that time so the work we need to put in place is really delivering and agility and the speed by which they can absorb this technology and stand up in their own cloud environment the area we've done better is we've made made possible new program called an MSP program I managed services provider program where smaller cloud provider doesn't want to stand up their own card can resell a week loud air service so it's it's I would say a good passing rate more work to be done yeah you know one of the big themes this week is one cloud it's any application anybody in one cloud that one cloud for you is not only you know vCloud air it's the vCloud air work helped us understand how big is the vCloud air network not just the number of partners because everybody's got lots of partners but you know put it in proportion how we know roughly how big vCloud air is that the VMware runs what is what is that partner network look like is it is it the typical 8020 model where eighty percent of that business is what does it look like how big is that so so I don't have the exact numbers to share but if I were to do a back of the napkin I'm going to speculate right I would say the vCloud air network plus B cloud air together it's probably bigger or as big as a or someone like the in a public cloud market it's a significant public cloud presence if we're not number two or number three from overall public cloud market spin so let's assume it's a 50 billion dollar market span I would say let's say you know Amazon's thirty percent of it the next twenty percent of it is a week loud air network+ vCloud air it's of that size and scale representative it's a major provider so in the mix today vCloud air is growing fast and it's a big portion but the numbers will always be I believe we cut our network will be a bigger portion than vCloud air at any given time but the whole pillars need to grow in paralyzer market is exploding am I correct that the differentiation really is kind of what you talked about monday is the ability to take that huge install base right that you have and enable it to do what the vision of the promise of the hybrid cloud has always been I mean it nobody else really does that I mean amazon refuses to do that right microsoft kind of has trying to do that you know so maybe can do that at some point and that's really your wheelhouse can you talk about the difference yes so what when we first started our first customers would kick our tires right and they would use it for dev tests and they say you know this stuff looks pretty good they said what if I take some of my vm that are not protected and protect them in avocado and we started to see dr really take off for that was kind of a killer use case now I T is being asked to really look at not building out any more data center spaces they're saying guys we cannot afford to build infrastructure and a natural choice for IT as they're starting to come into the age of cloud is who's the best choice i'm already using vmware on prem the starting to think about a data center extension use case or data center replacement use case they're looking at vcloud as a strategic loud so the exciting news for this week has been the number of customers saying in the next two years I want to be out of the data center business you're on my destination cloud let's solve those hybrid use cases to move data between VMs between the clouds is really what we're seeing the most exciting part so it's that ease of moving workloads is really exciting with so it's SiliconANGLE Wikibon we have some experience we have a you know the crowd chat relationship crowd chat forum is an app that's like it we used to run it and you know Nicole oh that's it by our own servers and it was a nightmare so we decided to go to the club we went to Amazon and our developers you know took some time to get it up there was painful right but once it was up and running it worked well so we have some experience with the various clouds and one of the things we found cuz people always does for SiliconANGLE and the Cuban is hey we should run in our cloud and when we go to investigate we find that certain things aren't there you know things like elastic Beanstalk aren't mature or you know other little things are just in beta etc I wonder if you could give us an indication of how mature any cloud air is from that standpoint you know and how you can you know expect what gives you confidence that you can compete with that pace that Amazon you know we often get dinged in terms of the breadth of capably amazon offer it is pretty impressive the rate at which they're innovating very impressive when you go back to the enterprise workloads and look at the customer use cases they probably 10 or 15 services that are critical the two big gaps we had was we didn't have a database service RDS we didn't have an RDS competitor out there we just announced sequel air this week we didn't have a good object service if you're starting to build something natively in the cloud in an object service the video start to bridge these key gaps with doing that today and Gartner has a metric whether measure the ayahs capability of each of the vendors I'm happy to say that if we were to benchmark today were ahead of Google right behind a jour to be capable wise a complete I aspect in in the what some people would call the pass piece of that that database as a service is part of the interpreters a service is that right so we're starting to add these application services it's my background come from Oracle Iran Oracle's middleware business we're starting to build both organically our services but more importantly vmware is a partner friendly company our customers want their best to breed on vs to work in the cloud so the service is like Jenkins for continuous integration as a service they want to use perforce if that's the source code management system to be available as a repository of recovery so our strategy is to enable our isp ecosystem make them available so you won't see everything coming from the VMware factory but the ecosystem will deliver best of class solutions and services on Macleod air both those are the mounts work is an interesting you know workload I mean you have demand from customers that mean certainly have a working order we were one of the first to say virtualize Oracle with VMware oh damn the torpedoes and work there were a lot of interest there unfortunately Oracle has the licensing practices it forces them and more in a dedicated environment so we can support Oracle but unfortunately because of the right system restriction we have to set them in a dedicated cloud you need specialized hardware to run oracle now that now they may relax that over time I mean it's been their practice in the past to do that all right i mean so you would expect it as there are customers today use two things either leave the data on Prem and take the web tier in the front end and then connect back to to database like Oracle sometimes they're just moving out at Oracle using a my sequel cluster to run their web scale websites open that's the choice though that larry has to make it a point of which the customer says okay if you want to lock me into the hole or call approach at the risk of losing my database business and then if that happens then Oracle will loosen up on those recover that's how that work will behave the customers will drive them you're ready to catch him with what do you what do you think so so if i looked back at amazon web services two years in only a couple of services a handful of them you guys are two years in you know handful of services but if i look at who their customers say it's it's directly focused on developers i mean they're going after developers the number of services they come out i mean it's 10 15 20 30 a year how do you who is your customer what's your developer story because right now i mean if i'm talking about moving VMS there's not a developer on the planet who cares about moving in vm how do you talk to a developer and get them to come to your so let's address both sides so we definitely our IT focus and we have an inside-out strategy when its IT driven it's about moving workloads from on-prem to cloud when you have a developer conversations about building that new applications the application environment in the enterprise is not just about green field but off for an application extension I want to add a mobile front end to my enterprise application in front of my sa fie my ERP system etc we've announced mobile backend service for example as a service on top of each other so we're starting to provide those selective use cases where our customers our enterprise IT developers if you will that's our target it's the enterprise IT developer who's looking to put a mobile front end was looking to build a digital experience that's integrated back into the into the use case and you saw the hybrid extension use case and we talked about is really what's driving this so developer story driven by a customer demand around mobile as a spearhead and building the rich set of service so we've been talking about this a little bit this week and we had a good discussion with Pat about it he's like look is the the the are the operations guys you know or the developers really want to become operations guys it's really a lot of your guys are really ops dev right supporting the developer community that's what you're trying to do is enable suppose it's both providing them the frameworks and the tools so in the new develop and it's not about building an application ground up its composing applications taking services and putting them together and we're offering those services but also giving them the tool chain to build new application than an agile way so I guess it has to be both right because you're trying to expand your tan absolutely new areas how do you how do you take advantage of all the assets in the Federation I mean we had rodney rogers on from virtustream he was talking about you know going after SI p and maybe you you don't need just one cloud you can use multiple you announced an object service but it's not based on emc we have an object service with emc as well right both why we have the clout you know the cloud foundry service you know I can I can install it but I can't get it why isn't the Federation stuff tighter why isn't it going faster I mean it is in the Federation you will see this accelerate and I think we if you look at the last year in terms of where progress has been made EMC object service available today our data protection built on albemarle so very strong leverage around that in the pillow case most of our customers use paths for private cloud that's been the design center we have a pws enterprises you the multi-tenant cloud that tends to be more a trial code so we're really about the enterprise customer and the enterprise customers saying hey give me a dedicated pass on frame or ricotta we support that well they're not asking for our multi-tenant kind of engine yard or Uhuru coo that's not our base that tends to be the smaller developer where again focused on the enterprise mark so what's a typical customer scenario like you guys you get a hardcore VMware customer and you start talking to them about the opportunities for hybrid cloud I'll give you three or four different one is to give you the breadth of them right the simple use case if it's an IT operations driven one it's driven around data center migration it's around data sent extension we have the likes of large University that that's looking to complete shut down our data center and move into that so that's kind of a data center use case we have Columbia sports or we're looking at how harley-davidson harley-davidson has the entire dealer network the point of sale system running on vCloud air we have likes of betfair they built an application is more cloud native that dynamically when you were betting and you're right at the last minute you need a spike up capacity their application seamlessly spawns into week our air takes capacity and delivers that that's a cloud native application that's built around that so we see the spread breath off from everything from data center use cases extension capacity on demand use cases all the way to dev test use cases dr to really cloud native applications in that span the spectrum with mobile being the newest addition we have farmers who starting to build a mobile app you so the my vmware ab that you're using today for vmworld that's running on vCloud air using our mbaise service so we're starting to get covered an entire spectrum of enterprise use cases today yeah I've and I you know just just as a piece of i mean i would i would say the ability for you guys to tell that story right now it comes across as being vmware centrum you know very vm sin infrastructure centric you're allowing the rest of the cloud industry to sort of define for you what that is so if that's really your story if your customers are saying look I have a ton of applications you may want to extend them to mobile but I want to want to move them for data center and that's a huge space you know we are forecast even out until 2016 only say that public cloud becomes a third there's a huge amount of enterprise applications that need to go somewhere you know move forward somehow and they need to know what how to help with that so I leave you with that if you have s ap as a workload and you can move the workload on frame or cloud and then extend the workload with mobile any great SI p to Salesforce this is direction where we're going you saw the keynote it had mobile front and center it showed a demo of a mobile app that's been this is clearly move VMware moving from infrastructure to application services extending the reach beyond just infrastructure capacity building that new digital application at Sunday's experience at Sanjay's background so AJ what last question what keeps you up at night not not personal stuff but business you know what keeps me up at night is really how do we scale this business even faster how do i meet the demand my challenges that moved from getting customers to scaling the service fast enough to support the customer the conversation had with some of my customers today they would want to move thousands of vm in the next six months how do we ramp up so quickly how do we support them how do we advise them how do we get this scale going so the challenge is going to be how do we scale quickly I mean that is the floodgates are starting to open up more critical you got demand on the one hand I'm competition the other you've got the scale and you of course you know you don't have that lock in at the top end of the apps layer so you know that game well absolutely she's got skill so his delivery is awesome a great conversation really appreciate you coming so much appreciate you meeting you thank you so much I keep rising everybody will be back to wrap vmworld 2015 right after this you
