(upbeat music) >> Welcome back to theCUBE's live coverage of AWS re:Invent. Friends, it's good to see you. Lisa Martin here with Dave Vellante. This is our fourth day of CUBE wall-to-wall coverage, Dave. I can't believe it. And the expo hall is still going incredibly strong. >> Yeah, it is. It feels like the biggest re:Invent ever. I'm told it's almost as big as 2019. I don't know, maybe I was half asleep at 2019. That's very possible. But I'm excited because in 2017 Andy Jassy came on theCUBE and he said if Amazon had to do it all over again, if it knew then what it had now, we would've done the whole thing in containers or using Lambda, using serverless and using containers. Didn't have that opportunity back then. And I'm excited 'cause Rafay Systems is someone we've worked with a lot as an innovator in this space. >> Yep, and we're going to be talking with Rafay again. I think it's your 10th time Haseeb on the show >> Like once or twice. >> And a great customer who's going to talk about their serverless journey. Haseeb Budhani joins us once again, the CEO of Rafay. Great to see you. Rakesh Singh is here as well, the Head of Cloud and DevOps at Regeneron. Guys, it's great to have you on the program. How you feeling on day four of re:Invent? >> Excitement is as high as ever basically. >> Isn't it amazing? >> Rakesh: That's true. >> Haseeb: I just need some sleep. >> I'm with you on that. Caffeine and sleep. >> So many parties. So many meetings, oh my God. >> But the great thing is, Haseeb, that people want to engage with you. They're loving what Rafay is doing. You guys are a great testament to that, which we're going to uncover on the show. What are some of the things that you're hearing in the booth from customers? What's been some of the feedback? >> So firstly, as I said, it feels like the biggest one ever. I've been coming to re:Invent a long time and I mean, I know the numbers say it's not, but oh my God, this is a lot of people. Every time we've spoken over the last year and the point I always make to you, and we've spoken enough time about this is that enterprises are truly adopting this idea of Kubernetes containers, serverless, et cetera. And they're all trying to figure out what is the enterprise strategy for these things? They're thinking beyond technology and thinking operationalization of these technologies. And that's not the same thing. There's a toy and then there's the real thing. And that's not the same thing. And that's the gap that every enterprise customer I talked to and the booth traffic has been just amazing. I mean, but coming here I was thinking, my God, this is really expensive. And I'm thinking, wow, this is a great investment. Because we met such amazing companies who all essentially are saying exactly the same thing, which is as we go and productize and bring our high value applications to the modern infrastructure space, like Kubernetes, Lambda, et cetera, solving for the automation governance is really, really hard because, well, at one point, I guess when the economy was doing crazy well, I could keep hiring people, but I can't do that anymore either. So they're out looking for automation strategies that allow them to do more with the teams they have. And that's exactly what Rafay is here for. >> Yeah. Lisa, Adam Selipsky in his keynote, I love the, he said, "If you want to save money, the cloud is the place to do it." >> Exactly. Yep. Let's talk about Regeneron. Everyone knows it's a household word especially over the last couple of years, but talk about, Rakesh, Regeneron as a technology company that delivers life-saving pharmaceuticals. And where does cloud and Rafay fit into your strategy? >> So cloud has been a backbone of our compute strategy within Regeneron for a very long time now. The evolution from a traditional compute structure to more serverless compute has been growing at a rapid pace. And I would say like we are seeing exponential growth within the adaption of the compute within containers and Kubernetes world. So we've been on this journey for a long time and I think it's not stopping anytime soon. So we have more and more workload, which is running on Kubernetes containers and we are looking forward to our partnership with Rafay to further enhance it, as Haseeb mentioned, the efficiency is the key. We need to do more with less. Resourcing is critical and cloud is evolved from that journey that do more things in a more efficient manner. >> That was the original catalyst as we got to help our development team, be more productive. >> That's correct. >> Eliminate the heavy lifting. And then you started presumably doing some of the less heavy, but still heavy lifting and we talked off camera and then you're increasingly moving toward serverless. >> Rakesh: That's correct. >> Can you describe that journey? What that's like? >> So I think like with the whole adoption that things are taking a much faster pace. Basically we are putting more compute onto containers and the DevOps journey is increasingly getting more, more faster. >> Go ahead. 'Cause I want to understand where Rafay sits in this whole equation. I was talking about, I'm not a developer, but I was talking to developer yesterday trying to really understand the benefits of containers and serverless and I said, take me through what you have to do when you're using containers. He said, I got to build the container image then I got to deploy an EC2 instance where I got to choose and I got to allocate memory of the fence the app in a VM then I got to run the computing instance against the app. And then, oh by the way, I got to pay 'cause all that EC2 that whole time. Depending on how you approach serverless you're going to eliminate a lot of those steps. >> That is correct. So what we do is basically like in a traditional sense, the computer is sitting idle at quite a lot basically. >> But you're paying. >> And you're still paying for that. Serverless technologies allows us to use the compute as needed basis. So whenever you need it, it is available. You run your workload on that and after that it shuts down or goes to minimal state and you don't need to pay as much as your paying. >> And then where do you guys fit in that whole equation? >> Look, serverless has a paradigm. If you step back from the idea of containers versus Lambda or whatever functions. The idea should be that the list you just read out of what developers have to do. Here's what they really should do. They should write their code, they should check it in, and they never have to think about it again. That should be the case. If they want to debug their application, there should be a nice front end where they go and they interact with their application and that's it. What is Kubernetes? I don't care. That's the right answer. And we did not start this journey as an industry there because usually the initial adopters are developers who do the heavy lifting. Developers want to learn, they want to solve these problems. But then eventually the expectation is that the platform organization and an enterprise is going to own this platform for me so I can go back to doing my job, which is writing code. And that's where Rakesh's team comes in. So Rakesh team is building the standard at Regeneron. Whether you're writing a long-lasting app, which is going to run in a container or you're going to write an event-driven application, which is going to be a function, whatever. You write your app, we will give you the necessary tooling and plumbing to take care of all these things. And this is my problem. My being Rakesh. Rakesh is my customer. He has his customers. We as Rafay, A, we have to make Rakesh's system successful because we have to give them right automation to do all these things so that he can service hundred, or in his case, thousands and thousands of different individuals. But then collectively, we have to make sure that the developer experience is optimal so that truly they just write their code and EC2, they don't want to deal with this. In fact, on Monday evening, in the Kubernetes keynote by Barry Cooks, one of the things he said was that in a CIO sort of survey they did, CIO said, 80% of the time of developers is wasted on infrastructure stuff and not on innovation. We need to bring that 80% back so that a hundred percent of the work is on innovation and today it's not. >> And that's what you do. >> That's what we do. >> In your world as a developer, I only have to worry about my writing my code and what functions I'm going to call. >> That is correct. And it is important because the efficiencies of a developer need to be focused on doing the things which business is asking for. The 80% of the work like to make sure the things are secure, they're done the right way, the standards are followed, scanning part of it, that work if we can offload to a platform, for example, Rafay, saves a lot of works, a lot of work cycles from the developers perspective. >> Thank you for that. It was nice little tutorial on the benefits. >> Absolutely. So you transform the developer experience. >> That's correct. >> How does that impact Regeneron overall business? We uplevel that. Give me that view. >> So with that, like what happens, the key thing is the developers productivity increases. We are able to do more with less. And that is the key thing to our strategy that like with the increase in business demand, with the increase in lot of compute things, which we are doing, we need to do and hiring resources is getting more difficult than ever. And we need to make sure that we are leveraging platforms and tools basically to do, enable our developers to focus on key business activity rather than doing redundant things and things which we can leverage some other tooling and platform for that business. >> Is this something in terms of improving the developer experience and their productivity faster time to market? Is this accelerating? >> That's correct. >> Is this even like accelerating drug discovery in some cases? >> So COVID is like a great example for that. Like we were able to fast track our drug discovery and like we were able to turn it into an experience where we were able to discover new drugs and get it to the market in a much faster pace. That whole process was expedited using these tools and processes basically. So we are very proud of that. >> So my understanding is you're running Rafay with EKS. A lot of choices out there. Why? Why did you choose to go in that direction? >> So Regeneron has heavily invested in cloud recently, over the years basically. And then we are focusing on hybrid cloud now that we we are like, again, these multiple cloud providers of platforms which are coming in are strategies to focus on hybrid cloud and Rafay is big leader in that particular space where we felt that we need to engage or partner with Rafay to enable those capabilities, not just on AWS, but across the board. One single tool, one single process, one single knowledge base helps us achieve more efficiencies. >> Less chaos, less complexity. >> That's correct. Let's say when you're in customer conversations, which I know you've had many this week, but you probably do that all the time. Regeneron is a great use case for Rafay. It's so tangible, life sciences. We all get that, especially coming out of the pandemic. What do you say to customers are the top three differentiators of Rafay and why they should go Rafay on top of EKS? >> What's really interesting about these conversations is that, look, we have some pretty cool features in our product. Obviously we must have something interesting otherwise nobody would buy our product. And we have access management and zero trust models and cluster provisioning, all these very nice things. But it always comes down to exactly the same thing, which is every large enterprise that started a journey, independent or Rafay because they didn't know who we were, it's fine. Last year we were a young company, now we are a larger company and they all are basically building towards a roadmap which Rafay truly understands. And in my opinion, and I'm confident when I say this, we understand their life, their journey better than any other company in the market. The reason why we have the flurry of customers we have, the reason why the product has the capacity that it does is because for whatever reason, look, it's scale lock. That's for the history books. But we have complete clarity on what a pharmaceutical company or financial customers company or a high tech company the journey they will take to the cloud and automation for modern infrastructure, we get it. And what I'm selling them is the is the why, not the what. There's a lot of great answers for the what? What do we do? Rakesh doesn't care. I mean, he's trying to solve a bigger problem. He's trying to get his researchers to go faster. So then when they want to run a model, they should be able to do it right now. That's what he cares about. Then he looks for a tool to solve the business problem. And we figured out how to have that conversation and explain why Rafay helps him, essentially multiply the bandwidth that he has in his organization. And of course to that end we have some great technology/ But that's a secondary issue, the first, to me the why is more important than the what. And then we talk about how, which he has to pay us money. That's the how. But yeah, we get there too. But look, this is the important thing. Every enterprise is on exactly the same journey, Lisa. And that if you think about it from just purely economic efficiencies perspective that is not a good investment for our industry. If everybody's solving the same problem that's a waste of resources. Let's find a way to do, what is the point of the cloud? We used to all build data centers. That was not efficient. We all went to the cloud because it's more efficient to have somebody else, AWS, solve this problem for us so we can now focus on the next level problem. And then Rafay solving that problem so that he can focus on his drug discovery, not on Kubernetes. >> That's correct. It's all about efficiencies. Like doing things, learn from each other's experience and build upon it. So the things have been solved. One way you need to leverage that, reuse it. So the principles are the same. >> So then what's next? You had done an amazing job transforming the company. You're facilitating drug discovery faster than ever before. From an infrastructure perspective, what's next on your journey? >> So right now the roadmap what we have is basically talking about making sure that the workload are running more efficient, they're more secure. As we go into these expandable serverless technology, there are more challenging opportunities for us to solve. Those challenges are coming up. We need to make sure that with the new, the world we are living in, we are more securely doing stuff what we were doing previously. More efficiencies is also the key and more distributed. Like if we can leverage the power of cloud in doing more things on demand is on our roadmap. And I think that is where we are all driving. >> And when you said hybrid, you're talking about connecting to your on-prem tools and data? How about cross cloud? >> We are invested in multiple cloud platform itself and we are looking forward to leveraging a technology, which is truly cloud native and we can leverage things together on that. >> And I presume you're helping with that, obviously. >> Last question for both of you. We're making an Instagram reel. Think of this as a sizzle reel, like a 32nd elevator pitch. Question, first one goes to you, Rakesh. If you had a bumper sticker, you put it on, I don't know, say a DeLorean, I hear those are coming back. What would it say about Regeneron as a technology company that's delivering therapeutics? >> It's a tough question, but I would try my best. The bumper sticker would say, discover drug more faster, more efficient. >> Perfect. Haseeb, question about Rafay. What's the bumper sticker? If you had a billboard in on Highway 101 in Redwood City about Rafay and what it's enabling organizations enterprises across the globe to achieve, what would it say? >> I'll tell you what our customers say. So our customers call us the vCenter for Kubernetes and we all know what a vCenter is. We all know why vCenter's so amazingly successful because it takes IT engineers and gives them superpowers. You can run a data center. What is the vCenter for this new world? It us. So vCenter is obviously a trademark with our friends at VMware, so that's why I'm, but our customers truly call us the vCenter for Kubernetes. And I think that's an incredible moniker because that truly codifies our roadmap. It codifies what we are selling today. >> There's nothing more powerful and potent in the voice of the customer. Thank you both for coming on. Thank you for sharing the Regeneron story. Great to have you back on, Haseeb. You need a pin for the number of times you've been on theCUBE. >> At least a gold star. >> We'll work on that. Guys, thank you. We appreciate your time. >> Haseeb: Thank you very much. >> For our guests and for Dave Vellante, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE, the leader in live enterprise and emerging tech coverage. (upbeat music)

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 all righty Jeff Rick here with the cube we are in our Palo Alto studios today and as we continue to go through week after week after week of the kovat crisis the kovat situation you know we've been focusing on leadership and we've been reaching out to the community to get their take on you know what's happening best practices things that they can share to help and to share knowledge with the rest of the community and we're really excited to have our next guest Rebecca Knight you know her as a guest host on the cube she's actually been a freelance journalist for decades and writes for all the top pubs it's how we met her in the first first place doing some working at mighty so Rebecca first off great to see you it's been too long we were supposed to be together this week but situation kind of changed the schedule a little bit indeed it's so it's so good to see your face Jeff and it's so fun to be working with the cube gang again even though we are we are many miles apart right now we should all be together but but I'm really happy to be you're happy to be talking to you great well I am too and let's let's jump into it because you know you've been writing about leadership but really why I wanted to reach out with you is instead of you kind of co-hosting our guests really get get your perspective on things because you've been writing about leadership for a very long time so now that we're I don't know six weeks into this thing what are you writing about what you know it has it has the the topics kind of shifted you know over the last several weeks what's kind of top of mind what do you publish in this week absolutely the topics have shifted in the sense that there is only one topic and that is hope at 19 and that is how our managers coping with this with this health crisis this pandemic that is all over the world of course and a huge part of our workplace right now managers are just dealing with this unprecedented event industry and trying to be a sense of strength for their colleagues and for their direct report at a time where they themselves don't really know what the future holds none of us know what the future holds and so this is a very our managers right now and so that's that's a lot of what I'm doing for her for Harvard Business trivia now there's so many pieces to that one you know we've been talking a lot about it as being kind of this light switch digital transformation moment because even if you had planned and people have been planning and things have been slowly moving whether it be working from home for jobs or remote education in higher education or a lot of these things they were kind of you know moving along and all sudden boom full stop ready set go everyone has to stay home so that there wasn't really a plan a rollout plan and it's quite a challenge and the other thing is not only for you the individual who's going through this but their significant other or spouses also home the kids are also home and again nobody really got an opportunity to plan and try to think some of these things through so it's it's it's not only just working from home but now it says pandemic that adds all these extra layers of complexity and to you to your point uncertainty which is always the hardest thing to deal with you know Jeff I've actually been working from home for over a decade now I work for the Financial Times for about four ten years and that and I even and then I was Boston corresponding for the FT working from home I was following a bunch of writers on trip Twitter people are writing and saying working from home is the worst and I'm constantly please like concentrate this I will never want to work from home and then all these writers were chiming if they hold up theirs working from home and then there's working from home during a global pandemic two totally different things um but you're absolutely right this is a time where our families are underfoot we're trying to homeschool our children we are quarantined with our spouse trying to make our marriages work and also trying to do the job that we're being paid to do if we're lucky enough they'll be employed or still have assignment I in the hoppers though you're right this is this is a very this is not necessarily the test of remote work and remote learning that I think we all deserve and we will some day have and we're showing this is obviously an experiment and in some ways that's showing that it can work in ways but there is also this is this isn't exact this is more oh hey you have eight days to get all your employees online right now or eight days to roll out your curriculum so this is not quite exactly what we'd all had in my remember talking about the future of online education or the digital organization but but it certainly interested the watch all happen so it's funny as part of this we had Martin make us on and he has been running distributed teams for decades and it was really funny his take on it which was that it's so much easier to fake it at the office right and and to many people we had Amy Hayworth on from Citrix and in a blog that she referenced you know eventually people will start judging people based on outcome versus behavior and activities and it just it strikes me that in 2020 you know is this what it's taken to get people to actually judge people by their output and I think you know Martin's other take was that when you work from home all you have is your output you know you don't have kind of looking busy or saying hi to the boss or the car looks really great today you know you only have your output in his take was it's actually a much easier way to decide who's doing the job and who's not doing the job yeah you know I'm of two minds with that because I think that there is so much to be said for the teamwork there so I mean you may not be the person who is definitely always pedal to the metal getting every single thing done checking all the boxes you you know I mean obviously you have to be sort of have a baseline of productivity and engagement but there's also just you're someone that other people like to work with you're someone who offers good ideas who can be a really good sounding board who just will have those moments of creativity that are really important for a theme to be to succeed and to get to get to the finish line and I can get again I'm not saying the people who are just have just been coasting oh yeah this is it for you but I'm just saying that there's a lot of different personalities and a lot of skills that then go into making a great high-functioning team it takes all type and so and so I think that we are missing that we are missing the camaraderie the collegiality of the watercooler chat and and that where teams do a lot of problem solving is is sort of that informal conversation that right now a lot of us are missing because we've all had way too much zoom and no one wants to just sort of shoot the breeze on zoom with anyone so what so what are you telling people so unfortunately you know this is not how we would have planned it and we would have probably transitioned it a little bit smoother matter but here we are and were actually now five six weeks into it and the I think the the Monday was I think March 16th was the big day here in the Bay Area when it all kind of got got official so what are some things that you're sharing with with leaders and managers you know some specific things they can do some specific tasks that they can do to help get through this better the first thing I would say and this is what I'm hearing from the experts that I'm talking to the people who really study crisis management is first of all it's deal yourself this is this is a challenge of a lifetime and you are leading through something that is hard and you need to understand that and and first of all don't be too hard on yourself because this is this is this is really difficult this is what they're going to be writing case studies about in business schools for decades for to come these are really big management challenges steal yourself be ready for the challenge make sure you are taking care of yourself getting enough sleep getting rest on the weekends time with your family and friends do exercise eat right don't just snack on Cheetos all day long make sure you are taking care of yourself in terms of interacting with your employees and your team obviously like I just said everyone everyone cannot everyone's zum fatigue is real um but at the same time you do need to make time to talk to your team and say hey how are you how are things make sure that people are you wait no baby we need to make sure that you have your your finger on the pulse of your team and make sure everyone's mental health it is they okay so yeah empathy humility it share with your team problems that your the your face singing yourself I mean obviously they should not be the repository for all of your fears and insecurities and worries about whoa I don't know if I got a turn am I gonna have a job next week but um but at the same time II talked about the challenges you're facing too your team needs to know that you aren't a superhuman you know you you're a human too you're going through this just like they are right that's what's such a weird thing about it - you know having been through a couple of events like the earthquake or Mount st. Helens blowing up you know the people that were into that area when something like that goes down have a common story right where were you in the earthquake where are you and mount st. Helens blew up but now this is a global thing where everyone will have a story where are you in March 20 20 so the fact that we're all going through it together and there's so many stories and impacts you know the more people you talk to you know the layers of The Onion's just keep on peeling - more and more and more impact but I'm curious to get your take on kind of how you see once we do get out of this because whether it's 12 months or 18 months or 24 months to get to a vaccine you know now it seems like forever and the grand scheme of things it's going to be a relatively short period of window but but over that time you know behaviors become habits and I'm just curious to get your take as to when it's okay to go back to work whenever that is I don't see it going back the way that it was because who's gonna want to sit on highway 101 for two hours every morning once you've figured out a pretty good routine and a pretty good workflow without doing that how do you see it kind of shaken out so I couldn't agree more and this is a night like I said I've worked from home for many many years and so I do think that people this is dispelling the myth that you need to work where you live you have a lot more agency and a lot more freedom to get your job done anywhere you want to live and if that's in a city because I mean God willing sports will come back and pewter will come back music and all the reasons we love living in cities but will one day be able to do that again but if you like living near the mountains or near the ocean you can do that and get your job done so I think we're I think you're absolutely right about that we're going to see many more people making a decision about you know this is the life I want to live and I can still might do my job and yet people still like being around other people I mean I think that's why we're all going a little stir-crazy right now is because we just we missed other people we miss interacting and so I think that we will have to think about some ways to create different kinds of offices and crap we work type things but I think they could just be different offices all over and they can be in the suburbs they can be in the mountains and it could just be a place where people come together and sometimes they're in the same industry field sometimes may be the same company but I think that they don't even necessarily need to be that way I think that some people will want to work from home and I think other people will want to go someplace even if it's not what we think of as the typical American office right but I even think in and I used to think this before right as you know I ride my bikes and do all my little eToys but you know even if people didn't commute one day a week or didn't commute one day every two weeks or two days a week you know the impact on the infrastructure to me some of these second-order effects is you know looking at empty freeways and empty streets demonstrate that we actually have a lot of infrastructure it just gets overwhelmed when everybody's on it at the same time so just the whole concept of going in the same time every day of course if you're in construction or you're in trades and you got a truck full of gear that you have to take that's one thing but for so many people now that our informational workers and they're just working on a laptop whether it be home that we work or we're at the office you know even shifting a couple of days a week I think has just a huge impact on infrastructure or quality of life you know the environment in terms of pollution gas consumption and on and on and on so yeah I don't think it will go a hundred percent one way or the other but I certainly don't think it'll go 100 percent back to you know going in the office every day from 8:00 to 5:00 I I couldn't agree more and just be the idea of the quality of life I mean you know I'm I have two children 9 and 12 and they are doing their school work from home and they're they're doing all right they're hanging in my older one in particular I say that she's sort of this mix between a graduate student and a young MBA because she's got her little devices already zooming with her science teacher than play rehearsal there but but um you know why I think that the slowing down has actually been kind of good for them too because they're busy kids and they have a lot going on and actually having family dinners having board games watching family movies going for family hikes in the weekends that has been really good but in her forever I mean obviously we're also indebted and grateful to the frontline workers and and we we also see there is a lot of loss around us people losing loved ones to this horrible disease and then losing livelihood but I think and then we are seeing a few silver linings than this too so I think sometimes our quality of life it has for some people this has been quarantines getting a little old but at the same time I think that there has been some bright for a lot of for a lot of people yeah I think I think you're right in again it's a horrible human toll people getting sick and dying and in the economic toll is gargantuan especially for people with no safety net and are in industries it's just don't exist in right now like travel and leisure and and and and things that are in the business of bringing people together when you can't bring people together but just final question before I let you go is is really on higher education so it's one thing with the kids and in k-12 and you know how sophisticated are an ability to learn online but I'm I'm really more interested to get your take on higher education because you know you've already got to kind of this scale back in terms of the number of physical classes that people attend when they're and when they're an undergrad and the actual amount of time that they spend you know in an lecture I mean this is this now knocking that right off of the table and I'm just really curious to get your take on higher education with distributed learning because it's it's something that's been talked about for a long time I think there's been a lot of resistance but again this light switch moment and if it goes on for into the next school year what's what what's that going to do to the kind in higher education and the stance of of how much infrastructure they actually need to support educating these kids well I am a Wesleyan grad and the president of Wesleyan was quoted in the New York Times this weekend talking about that this very topic thing that this has really shown us the value of a residential or not necessarily for year but residential education where people are together and they are able to Bure be creative have fierce debate in the classroom that is just frankly not possible with remote learning or at least not to the same degree since the same extent and the kind of accessibility you have with professors particularly at a small liberal arts school like the one that I went through I think that Jeff a lot of a lot of colleges are not going to be able to survive this because they're just they are so different tuition dependent and a lot of kids are going to defer if they if they say you know if I can't be at college in the fall I'm gonna take a year off and go to Community College or I'm going to you know do something else take a gap year and then reassess my options once this health crisis passes and I think that for a lot of colleges that's just that's just not tenable for them and for their for their operations so I'm afraid that a lot of businesses and a lot of colleges their point of closed yeah it's just it's just crazy the the impact and just showing you know as you said we are social beings we like to be together and when you when you stop people from being together it makes you really realize how often we are together whether it's you know weddings and funerals and and bar mitzvahs and and those kind of things in church and family stuff or whether it's business things conventions concerts sporting events means so many things street fairs you know are really about bringing people together and we do like to be together so this too will pass and and and hopefully you know the Warriors in this battle thankfully are super smart you know we're hopefully using a lot of modern compute that we didn't
