Day Three Wrap Up | HPE Discover 2022


 

>>The cube presents HPE discover 2022 brought to you by HPE. >>Okay. We're back to wrap up HPE discover 2022. The Cube's continuous coverage is day three. John furrier, Dave ante. We had a business friend that we met during the pandemic. A really interesting gentleman, norm Ette. He's the director of global technical marketing at Hewlett Packard enterprise, a real innovator norm. Great to see you. Thanks for making time for coming on >>The cube, gentlemen. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. You're giving me the opportunity to bring it home. Yeah. You know, if I'm only gonna get one shot at it, it might as well be >>The last we always, we always like to bring the energy in the last segment because you know, the cube, we grind it out for three days. I mean, it's just such a great content injection. And so we love to wrap it up, especially with someone like yourself who can really help us convey the themes, but even more so when we look around here this entire ecosystem, you and your team built this. And so take us through that. >>Well, we did, you know, and it takes a village. You know, we have the core team, HPE global technical marketing, uh, which is my team. And then of course we're partnered with other parts of the, our marketing organizations on different pieces, different aspects. And then we have a tremendous team of vendors that we work with on a regular basis. Companies such as, you know, F two B and ivory and others that, you know, really kind of pitch in. And they're, they're kind of my, I call 'em my flex force. You know, we also have another group called promote live and we bring all these people together. And, and in addition, all the vendors, we have something like 380 employees that come from all different parts of the organization to, to land in Las Vegas, to man, these booths and staff, these, uh, staff, these exhibits. >>And so for one week, we get to really work as a, as a, a team, as a family, you know, there's no organizational borders, so to speak, you know, you know, we're a big company, everybody has, you know, different objectives and different things that they're focused on, but we get a chance to all get together and work as one, one team. And so that, that the people aspect is what's so exciting, I think this week. And I think I even saw some of your broadcast earlier. So I think it kind of, it kind of came through as well. Just the joy of, of being together, you know? Sure. Human beings <laugh> >>And, and H HP's got a new spring and its step, which so much focus brought to the table from Antonio and, you know, the team is the lining. >>Yeah, we do. And that's, you know, when you go, when we start talking about the design and you know, one of the things that, you know, we work on this months ahead of time. Yeah. Right. And so it's kinda like a spinning top, you know, we, we, we keep, we, we keep spinning that thing tightening up and then this week you put it on the table and just let it go. Yeah. Right. But it's that whole multi-month process of, of, of twisting that top around and getting it going and right at the middle and right at the centerpiece. And, uh, the core design principle and an ask from, uh, Antonio is that we make sure that we major on HPE, uh, GreenLake edge to cloud platform that, you know, it, it's a, obviously you've been talking about it all week. Yeah. Uh, we've been talking about it all week. It's a big focus of our company. And so right at the very center, we have our HPE GreenLake edge to cloud platform demonstration, and then everything in the showcase then radiates from that centerpiece, uh, you know, right, right. At, right at the nexus of all the activities. So the experience starts there and propagates its >>Way. Well, I wanna get into some of the themes and the set pieces you have here. Um, you are in technical marketing and this platform is a tech play. So it's not so much just solutions that you're enabling the theme this year is very much technical marketing. So there's edge, especially cloud data and edge is the big themes security's baked in throughout the whole set, right as well. And that messaging, but it's technical marketing right now. We had, you know, platform play uett packer is a platform. Google packer enterprise is a >>Platform. It is, and it's a, it is a, it's a software platform. Um, you, it, it really completes a cloud strategy. And when you really think about it, I, again, I know some of these numbers have been floating around. Um, but, uh, you know, 70% of all data is still staying OnPrem for good reasons, you know, and then 30% of it can be out there in the public cloud. Uh, so what you kind of have is an incomplete cloud strategy, if you will. And what's happened is that organizations have gotten spoiled a little bit by the cloud experience. Mm-hmm <affirmative> right. That, you know, I, you know, your, your dev teams say go, Hey, I just, I wanna work in a Azure. I wanna work in AWS. I love how I go through this process. Why can't I do that with my on-prem stuff? Why, you know, why, you know, I want that kind of experience. So it organizations are really being challenged about how to create that, that kind of service and that experience to their customers because expectations are not because >>Data ha it has to be inclusive. It can't be exclusive to just one part of the organization. >>Yeah. And so how did you, how did that impact obviously, cause GreenLake was coming together, you know, you got the multiple months in advance planning for this big event, right. A lot of lot work goes into it. What was some of the impact to the execution of this event, um, that you can share in terms of the set pieces? Some of the displays was there was there, I won't say radical cause it's not radical. It looks, it turned out great. But what are some of the popular things happening here? What worked, what resonated with customers and what was different from, from, uh, that GreenLake enabled you to do differently? >>Well, I mean, first the first thing is that we, we kind of had a high touch experience at that center point, right. That nexus, the hub of the activity, the GreenLake edge to club platform, uh, demonstration. And it started with us just kind of, you know, having the strategy about first of all, if you sh, if you guys show this and I know, I think maybe you have, when you enter in, we've got like this big aha moment, right. And that aha moment is that platform right in the center, surrounded with wonderful visuals above, below, you know, behind, uh, all around it. But we, we, we had to think about, okay, now I'm staring at this thing. What am I, how am I gonna experience it? So, uh, when I say a high touch experience, we start with a, what I call a platform generalist that would greet you up front, engage in the conversation, you know, so realize that, you know, Dave is a network operations director, he's got some keen interests. >>He has some sort of peripheral idea about what the, uh, HPE GreenLake edge cloud platform is about, but what can it really do for him? You know, what can do, what can he use? How can he use it? So we start at that level of conversation, you know, socialize the core services, the attributes, you know, the, the technology that is actually enabling it. And then as we've identified in our conversation that you're a network geek, you know, and you want to understand, you've heard about Aruba, you know, how's Aruba central play into that. How do the networking services play into that? And so for then we take that, that, that big leap and go up two steps up onto the platform. And we go over to the network specialist, what I, what I'm calling a platform specialist, uh, who understands all the things about the platform, but then is peaked in networking. And we have that conversation and you see how the Aruba customer can benefit by this evolution, uh, and how the different platform services combine to give a holistic experience across a company. And so when I'm an it ops director, and I'm trying to service my network, guys, my storage guys, my compute guys, my external cloud services guys, that this is an environment that I can, so you >>Have an experience where they come in, they can easily move to a point quickly in the display, on the platform >>And it's tailored for them. Exactly. Right. Exactly. That's the exactly. Right. And so if I transition over to you, you know, and you're my, you know, you're my specialist, you know, you're not saying, Hey, Dave, what brings you here today? What are you today? <laugh>, you know, I, I mean, you're prequalified, it's a prequalified conversation. We jump into it. And then that specialist is armed with knowledge as to where, okay, this guy is really interested in switching technology and switches as well. Well, that's demo five 12. Mm-hmm <affirmative>, you know, let me have one of my colleagues take you over there. So then you're, you're escorted over to demo five 12 to go to the next level or perhaps, and this has happened throughout the week that people want to take a test drive of the environment. And so we have the HPE GreenLake living lab, and we have a, a test drive environment right there. >>And so we bring you right to that test drive, where you can, you know, kick the tires yourself, you fire up a live environment. We have a series of exercises that you're taken through. And, uh, I think I've just checked with one of my colleagues where like, well over, you know, well, over 1100 experiences of people doing that here. And that lab has 25 seats, but also externally. Yeah. So right off of hpe.com, that same test drive experience that we're doing here. People can launch at home. And so we got in this morning, there were like four guys logged in from New Zealand, you know, doing exercises, which is pretty neat. So, so when you ask me the question, what are the design considerations, uh, that HPE GreenLake that we baked in and thought through it's again, that, Hey, it's a, it's a big thing. Yeah. It's a big, it's an experience. Let's start with you just digesting the, you know, the comp basic concepts. Then let's talk about your persona and how it directly maps to what you can do. And then if you want to get deeper, you know, we have the solutions that we design behind it, solution demos, and, and if you wanna drive it, let you know, buckle up. Let's >>Go. Yeah, you get right to a spot, multiple monitors, great experience, high touch. Um, that's awesome. I gotta ask you another question. Cause you've been, you know, pre pandemic, you've been doing a lot of this technical marketing and events and then virtual hit right now. We're back face to face, right? It's clear, Dave and I were just talking about our, on our opening day, year on day. One, people love to see each other back. Every event we've been to face to face. People are energized to a level. We didn't even see. What are you seeing here in terms of performance? Obviously, you got sales people here, you got executives here, you got customers right. Face to face, right. >>Doing belly to belly, >>Belly to belly, as Dave says, that's a positive, what's it like, explain what it's like. >>Well, I mean, you don't, you never know what you got until it's gone, right? >>Yeah. >>You, and so people didn't really realize that, Hey, we really needed to have this kind of touch and this, this kind of activity. And it was funny because people be before the pandemic, there was also a push to do a lot of virtual stuff, you know, economies of scale. Yeah. You know, some of that stuff works. Teams are making decisions, but then it all goes away and people realize how valuable, you know, just the conversations were, you know, meeting >>Somebody, relationships, meeting >>Somebody for a coffee, you know, talking through different bumping into colleagues than that. You haven't seen for years, or you worked with somebody and now they're doing this. And then you realize you have some sort of synergy with each other and you know, you can still help each other. And just the, just, you know, just the discovery <laugh> of being at discover, you know, and running into these different types of things. So, uh, well >>You think about it norm, you know, we, we've done plenty of stuff virtually we have, but I think we've talked maybe four times this week. Yeah. You've seen you here walking around the hallways. We saw you last night, right? Yeah. You just, that just wouldn't happen in your little virtual >>World. Yeah. I mean, not at all. And during that virtual era, and I think we'll look back on that and we're still gonna do virtual stuff >>Course, and we're learning, >>It's got value, but I just want to thank you guys for just being the cube and the whole team, you know, Frank, everybody just tremendous partners through that because you can still look at that content that we produced together last year and it's still relevant. We're still sharing it. It still has impact. We, we point, you know, we tell people, Hey, here's call to action. You're leaving. Discover by the way, there's these three or four pieces out on the cube that really go with, go at this topic. >>Right. That GreenLake event we did last year was phenomenal. >>It was, it was, and it was a partnership with you guys. And I, I, you know, I, I speak on, on behalf of many of my colleagues here at HPE, we just wanna thank the cube for all the support, creativity, uh, and how we got through that >>All together. We we'll back at you because norm you were a real innovator when John and I first met you, we were like, Hey, this guy, actually, he's gonna, he's gonna push us to some new levels. Technical >>Marketing know >>That's our, our team marketing. Like our team was a little nervous, a lot nervous actually, because you know, you do, you are not only demanding, but you're super creative. Well, thank you. And so you, you helped us, you know, up, up our game. >>Yeah. Thanks a lot. Yeah. You know, Frank was getting, Hey, Frank, Dave, can you guys do this? You >>Know, so yeah, we were on the background. >>I mean, but we were, we were growing and surviving and thriving together and getting through it, but what's coming out. The other side now is a new format. You mentioned virtual. That's not going away. Hybrid is a steady state for all of us. Even the cube. Yeah. So the new protocols and the new standards are emerging. And I think the newness of it scares people also like how do you do it? Um, who, whose role is it to take the virtual and digital? So this whole new set of experiences still coming out. Yeah. What's your vision? How do you see this? Cause we're face to face clearly is what everyone wants from school kids to adults. Right. We want face to face. Right. How does digital fit in? >>Well, I mean, that's, that's a, that's a really tricky question. I'll give you a, a, I'll kind of back into the answer a little bit. Um, you guys can see this, right, right behind us. We had this whole backdrop here, greetings from the edge of virtual reality experience. Well, we built that. We built that during the COVID era, so we could have experiences with people remotely. Right. Uh, and we used it for our executive summit, you know, last year for the virtual discovery, we shipped those Oculus headsets to everybody. They, everybody jumped into it. And so I was sitting there being a host, you know, with four CTOs that were scattered all over the world. So we were in cyberspace together. Right. And so of course being good, uh, you know, good business people we realized, Hey, this is pretty fun. So let's dust it off and bring it out here for the more general public. >>So again, it was like a 200 person, you know, uh, executive level experience and all of that, but it had tremendous value, different types of experiences. I recommend you try it if you ever have the opportunity. Um, so that's a way that we start emerging virtual reality and digital experiences to try to keep that human connection, but now we're using it again. And everybody's in these little pod rooms, six of them together. So they're having this experience in cyberspace and they're having it physically. Yeah. And so I think some, and everyone's enjoying being together and still in cyber space together. So I think when we start to build assets and we start to look at different types of things and experiences, we gotta think, we, we gotta think through that now. Right. You know, how is this, how is this investment or this, this experience, how's it gonna translate, you know, outside of these four walls, right. And how can we use it outside of these four walls, uh, and create, you know, a more engaging experience. So that's a little bit of a backing into that answer, but I think I'm, I'm, >>It's emerging. It's >>Important. Well, I'm saying it more as an example of us thinking through and trying to leverage. Yeah. >>I love it though. I mean, you always, you've always been struck me as a visionary and I, I loved that answer and I can just see, it's just gonna progress by the end of the decade. This is gonna become right. Uh, a a, you know, a normal sort of practice, and we're gonna bring people in from the outside and interacting. I love what you were saying about, yeah. Even though we're here physically, we're actually creating a virtual world within this physical pod. We are. Where can people discover more about that? About, about, about the shows, the content that >>Was here? Well on hpe.com, you can just launch into discover. We have a tremendous amount of content that's been recorded, keynote sponsor sessions, the cube they're dialed in all kinds of different pieces of assets that we've done. Um, I'll plug just another couple of things just to, again, to talk about the connectivity of things that we're doing. So one of the projects that I lead, uh, I am very proud to lead is HPE space born and our space born computer space, born computer two, flying a most powerful machine, uh, computer to ever fly in space. Uh, we've been up there for a year. We've done 24 different experiments over the year to, for the benefit of the entire scientific community. Um, also, you know, doing things for the ISS national lab in NASA, our partners up there, but what we've got is we've built a scale replica of the Columbus module, right? So this is, you know, this is a 28 by 12 foot module. Hey, we're bringing her home seriously. >>They're gonna pull the plugs. They're gonna pull the >>Plug on me soon. Right. So anyway, so we have that module built, right? And this is, uh, we work with a Hollywood production company. We've had it before, but you know, we we've customized it. We have a live link to the ISS station in there. And, and so we're talking about everything that we're doing there, but also in this virtual reality experience, we have you going on a space walk, right. And so we've, we've captured that as well. So we've, we're tying this physical and virtual experience together. Uh, and, uh, so it's a fun project. So you can check that >>Out. We did exit scale together during the pandemic, and that's when I first really got into to space point. It was awesome to see frontier announced actually breaking through the exo scale barrier. We, we were on the cusp, but we, we now see it breaking through. So, yeah. Congratulations on that. Thank you >>Very much. And, you know, a couple, you know, just couple other things that we're doing, that's pretty exciting. I don't, I don't wanna give away all my tricks, uh, but you know, we've organized our demonstrations through the customer lenses. So we have these customer journeys that we see people that are using our technology, you know, so I'm, I'm not talking about the storage business unit or, you know, the networking business unit, but how are our customers really trying to, you know, advance AI and machine learning, for example, how are they actually trying to, you know, protect their data? You know, the different things, the business issues, the business issues. Yeah. And so we've organized our demos through that, and we have these, these pods and then satellites, and you, you, you give you walk through that whole thing and it's addressing different aspects of that. >>Um, and then another thing that we've done is we have tours here, uh, as well, where, cuz there's so much content that people can take tours and you know, 1400 people have taken those tours. Uh, you know, and these are guided tours, headsets, curated, big numbers, designated places to go. And we see big traffic the first day or so and by design. And so we hit the highlights and then they decide how to use their valuable time later in the showcase about what they want to deep dive on. And so that's been a tremendous success for >>Us. Well norm thanks for bringing us on the tour of discover. Yeah. Well and really, you know, sharing that with our audience and you've been an awesome partner. And as you say, a great innovator, hope I can't wait to see what's next. All right. >>You so much. Hey, thanks for letting me on here guys. Welcome to our pleasure. I'm somebody I made. You're a Cub >>Alumni alumni. You're alumni. Welcome to alumni. So >>Guys great. Our week. That's a wrap on on day three, uh, Dave Valant day, John furrier for Lisa Martin. Don't forget to go to Silicon angle.com where we've got all the news, all the interviews that we've done this week, get written up and posted on Silicon angle.com. The cube.net I publish every week. Uh, my breaking analysis on, on, on wikibon.com. It's on a podcast. So check that out. Thanks to everybody. Thanks for the crew. Everybody back at the office. Really appreciate it. Great job. And we'll see you next time. All right.

Rashmi Kumar, HPE | HPE Discover 2022


 

>> Announcer: theCUBE presents HPE Discover 2022, brought to you by HPE. >> We're back at the formerly the Sands Convention Center, it's called the Venetian Convention Center now, Dave Vellante and John Furrier here covering day three, HPE Discover 2022, it's hot outside, it's cool in here, and we're going to heat it up with Rashmi Kumar, who's the Senior Vice President and CIO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, great to see you face to face, it's been a while. >> Same here, last couple of years, we were all virtual. >> Yeah, that's right. So we've talked before about sort of your internal as-a-service transformation, you know, we do call it dog fooding, everybody likes to course correct and say, no, no, it's drinking your own champagne, is it really that pretty? >> It is, and the way I put it is, no pressure to my product teams, it's being customer zero. >> Right, take us through the acceleration on how everything's been going with you guys, obviously, the pandemic was an impact to certainly the CIO role and your team but now you've got GreenLake coming in and Antonio's big statement before the pandemic, by 2022 everything will be as a service and then everything went remote, VPNs and all this new stuff, how's it going? >> Yeah, so from business perspective, that's a great point to start that, right? Antonio promised in 2019 that HPE will be Everything-as-a-Service company and he had no view of what's going to happen with COVID. But guess what? So many businesses became digital and as-a-service during those two years, right? And now we came back this year, it was so exciting to be part of Discover when now we are Everything-as-a-Service. So great from business perspective but, when I look at our own transformation, behind the scene, what IT has been busy with and we haven't caught a breadth because of pandemic, we have taken care of all that change, but at the same time have driven our transformation to make HPE, edge to cloud platform as a service company. >> You know, I saw a survey, I referenced it earlier today, it was a survey, I think it was been by Couchbase, it was a CIO survey, so they asked, who was responsible at your organization for the digital transformation? And overwhelming, like 75% said, CIO, which surprised me 'cause, you know, in line with the business and so forth but in fact I thought, well, maybe, because of the forced march to digital that's what was top of their mind, so who is responsible for, and I know it's not just one person, for the digital transformation? Describe that dynamic. >> Yeah, so definitely it's not one person, but you do need that whole accountable, responsible, informed, right, in the context of digital transformation. And you call them CIO, you call them CDIO or CDO and whatnot but, end of the day, technology is becoming an imperative for a business to be successful and COVID alone has accelerated it, I'm repeating this maybe millions time if you Google it but, CIOs are best positioned because they connect the dots across organization. In my organization at HPE, we embarked upon this large transformation where we were consolidating 10 different ERPs, multiple master data system into one and it wasn't about doing digital which is e-commerce website or one technology, it was creating that digital foundation for the company then to transform that entire organization to be a physical product company to a digital product company. And we needed that foundation for us to get that code to cash experience, not only in our traditional business, but in our as-a-service company. >> So maybe that wasn't confirmation bias, I want to ask you about, we've been talking a lot about sustainability and I've made the comment that, if you go back, you know, 10, 12 years and you were CIO IT at that time, CIO really didn't care about the energy bill, that was paid for by facilities, they really didn't talk to each other much and that's completely changed, why has it changed? How should a CIO, how do your your peers think about energy costs today? >> Yeah, so, at some point look, ESG is the biggest agenda for companies, regulators, even kind of the watchers of ISS and Glass Lewis type thing and boards are becoming aware of it. If you look at 2-4% of greenhouse emission comes from infrastructure, specifically technology infrastructure, as part of this transformation within HPE, I also did what I call private cloud transformation. Remember, it's not data center transformation, it's private cloud transformation. And if you can take your traditional workload and cloudify it which runs on a GreenLake type platform, it's currently 30% more efficient than traditional way of handling the workload and the infrastructure but, we recently published our green living progress report and we talk about efficiency, by 2020 if you have achieved three times, the plan is to get to 30 times by 2050 where, infrastructure will not contribute to energy bill in turn the greenhouse emission as well. I think CIOs are responsible multifold on the sustainability piece. One is how they run their data center, make it efficient with GreenLake type implementations, demand from your hyperscaler to provide that, what Fidelma just launched, sustainability scorecard of the infrastructure, second piece is, we are the data gods in the company, right? We have access to all kinds of data, provide that to the product teams and have them, if we cannot measure, we cannot improve. So if you work with your product team, work with your BU leader, provide them data around greenhouse gas and how they're impacting a mission through their products and how can they make it better going forward, and that can be done through technology, right? All the measurements come from technology. So what technology we need to provide to our manufacturing lines so that they can monitor and improve on the sustainability front as well. >> You mentioned data, I wanted to bring that up 'cause I was going to bring that up in another top track here, data as an asset now is at play, so I get the data on the sustainability, feed that in, but as companies go to the cloud operating model, they go, hey, I got the hyperscalers, you call microscale, Amazon for instance, and you got on-premises data center, which is a large edge and you got the edge, the data control plane, and then the control plane and the data plane are always seem to be like the battle ground, I want to control the data plane, will customers own the data plane or will the infrastructure providers control that data plane? And how do you see that? Because we want to power the machine learning, so data plane control plane, it seems to be like the new middleware, what's your view on that? How do you look at that holistically? >> Yeah, so I'll start based on the hyperscaler conversation, right? And I had this conversation with one of the very big ones recently, or even our partner, SAP, when they talk about RISE, data center and how I host my application infrastructure, that's the lowest common denominator of our job. When I talk about CIOs being responsible for digital transformation, that means how do I make my business process more innovative? How do I make my data more accessible, right? So, if you look at data as an asset for the company, it's again, they're responsible, accountable. As CIO, I'm responsible to have it managed, have it on a technology platform, which makes it accessible by it and our business leader accountable to define the right metrics, right kind of KPIs, drive outcome from that data. IT organization, we are also too busy driving a lot of activities and today's world is going to bad business outcome. So with the data that I'm collecting, how do I enable my business leader to be able to drive business outcome through the use of the data? That's extremely important, and at HPE, we have achieved it, there are two ways, right? Now I have one single ERP, so all the data that I need for what I call operational reporting, get hindsight and insight is available at one place and they can drive their day to day business with that, but longer term, what's going to happen based on what happened, which I call insight to foresight comes from a integrated data platform, which I have control of, and you know, we are fragmenting it because companies now have Databox, Snowflake, AWS data analytics tool, Azure data analytics tool, I call it data torture. CIOs should get control of common set of data and enable their businesses to define better measurements and KPIs to be able to drive the data. >> So data's a crown jewel then, it's crown jewel not-- >> Can we double-click on that because, okay, so you take your ERP system, the consumers of data in the ERP system, they have the context that we've kind of operationalized those systems. We haven't operationalized our analytics systems in the same way, which is kind of a weird dynamic, and so you, right, I think correctly noted Rashmi that, we are creating all these stove pipes. Now, think I heard from you, you're gaining control of those stove pipes, but then how do you put data back in the hands of those line of business users without having to go through a hyper specialized analytics team? And that's a real challenge I think for data. >> It is challenge and I'll tell you, it's messy even in my world but, I have dealt with data long enough, the value lies in how do I take control of all stove pipes, bring it all together, but don't make it a data lake which is built out of multiple puddles, that data lake promise hasn't delivered, right? So the value lies in the conformed layer which then it's easier for businesses to access and run their analytics from, because they need a playground because all the answers they don't have, on the operation side, as you mentioned, we got it, right? It'll happen, but on the fore site side and deeper insight side based on driving the key metrics, two challenges; understanding what's the key metrics in KPI, but the second is, how to drive visibility and understanding of it. So we need to get technology out of the conversation, bring in understanding of the data into the conversation and we need to drive towards that path. >> As a business, you know, line of business person putting that hat on, I would love to have this conversation with my CIO because I would say, I just want self-service infrastructure and I want to have access to the data that I need, I know what metrics I need to run my business so now I want the technology to be just a technical detail, you take care of that and then somebody in the organization, probably not the line of business person wants to make sure that that data is governed and secure. So there's somebody else and that maybe is your responsibility, so how do you handle that real problem? So I think you're well on the track with GreenLake for self-serve infrastructure, right, how do you handle the sort of automated governance piece of it, make that computational? Yeah, so one thing is technology is important because that's bringing all the data together at one place with single version of truth. And then, that's why I say my sons are data scientist, by the way, I tell them that the magic happens at the intersection of technology knowledge, data knowledge, and business knowledge, and that's where the talent, which is very hard to find who can connect dots across these three kind of circles and focus on that middle where the value lies and pushing businesses to, because, you know, business is messy, I've worked on pharma companies, utilities, now technology, order does not mean revenue, right? There's a lot more that happen and pricing or chargeback, rebates, all that things, if somebody can kind of make sense out of it through incremental innovation, it's not like a big bang I know it all, but finding those areas and applying what you said, I call it the G word, governance, to make sure your source is right and then creating that conform layer then makes into the dashboard the right information about those types of metrics is extreme. >> And then bringing that to the ecosystem, now I just made it 10 times more complicated. >> Yeah, this is a great conversation, we on theCUBE interview one time we're talking about the old software days where shrink-wrap software be on the shelf, you wouldn't know if was successful until you looked at the sales data, well after the fact, now everything's instrumented, SaaS companies, you know exactly what the adoption is, either people like it or they don't, the data doesn't lie. So now companies are realizing, okay, I got data, I can instrument everything, your customers are now saying, I can get to the value fast now. So knowing what that value is is what everyone's talking about. How do you see that changing the data equation? >> Yeah, that's so true even for our business, right? If you talk to Fidelma today, who is our CTO, she's bringing together the platform and multiple platforms that we had so far to go to as-a-service business, right? Infosite, Aruba Central, GLCP, or now we call it it's all HPE GreenLake, but now this gives us the opportunity to really be a alongside customer. It's no more, I sold a box, I'll come back to you three years later for a refresh, now we are in touch with our customer real time through Telemetry data that's coming from our products and really understanding how our customers are reacting with that, right? And that's where we instantiated what we call is a federated data lake where, marketing, product, sales, all teams can come together and look at what's going on. Customer360, right? Data is locked in Salesforce from opportunity, leads, codes perspective, and then real time orders are locked in S4. The challenge is, how do we bring both together so that our sales people have on their fingertip whats the install base look like, how much business that we did and the traditional side and the GreenLake side and what are the opportunities here to support our customers? >> Real quick, I know we don't have a lot of time left, but I want to touch on machine learning, which basically feeds AI, machine learning, AI go together, it's only as good as the data you can provide to it. So to your point about exposing the data while having the stove pipes for compliance and governance, how do you architect that properly? You mentioned federated data lake and earlier you said the data lake promise hasn't come back, is it data meshes? What is the architecture to have as much available data to be addressed by applications while preserving the protection? >> Yeah, so, machine learning and AI, I will also add chatbots and conversational AI, right? Because that becomes the front end of it. And that's kind of the automation process promise in the data space, right? So, the point is that, if we talk about federated data lake around one capability which I'm talking about GreenLake consumption, right? So one piece is around, how do I get data cleanly? How do I relate it across various products? How do I create metrics out of it? But how do I make it more accessible for our users? And that's where the conversational AI and chatbot comes in. And then the opportunity comes in is around not only real time, but analytics, I believe Salesforce had a pitch called customer insight few years ago, where they said, we have so many of you on our platform, now I can combine all the data that I can access and want to give you a view of how every company is interacting with their customer and how you can improve it, that's where we want to go. And I completely agree, it ends up being clean data, governed data, secure data, but having that understanding of what we want to project out and how do I make it accessible for our users very seamlessly. >> Last question, what's your number one challenge right now in this post isolation world? >> Talent, we haven't talked about that, right? >> Got to get that out there. >> All these promises, right, the entire end to end foundational transformation, as-a-service transformation, talking about the promise of data analytics, we talked about governance and security, all that is possible because of the talent we have or we will have, and our ability to attract and retain them. So as CIO, I personally spend a lot of time, CEO, John Schultz, Antonio, very, very focused on creating that employee experience and what we call everything is edge for us, so edge to office initiative where we are giving them hybrid work capabilities, people are very passionate about purpose, so sustainability, quality, all these are big deal for them, making sure that senior leadership is focused on the right thing, so, hybrid working capability, hiring the right set of people with the right skill set and keeping them excited about the work we are doing, having a purpose, and being honest about it means I haven't seen a more authentic leader than Antonio, who opens up his keynote for this type of convention, with the purpose that he's very passionate about in current environment. >> Awesome, Rashmi, always great to have you on, wonderful to have you face to face, such a clear thinker in bringing your experience to our audience, really appreciate it. >> Thank you, I'm a big consumer of CUBE and look forward to having-- >> All right, and keep it right there, John and I will be back to wrap up with Norm Follett, from HPE discover 2022, you're watching theCUBE.

Stu Miniman, Red Hat | KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU 2022


 

(upbeat music) >> Kubernetes is maturing for example moving from quarterly releases to three per year, it's adding many of the capabilities that early on were avoided by Kubernetes committers, but now are going more mainstream, for example, more robust security and better support from mobile cluster management and other functions. But core Kubernetes by itself, doesn't get organizations where they need to go. That's why the ecosystem has stepped up to fill the gaps in application development. Developers as we know, they don't care about infrastructure, but they do care about building new apps, they care about modernizing existing apps, leveraging data, scaling, they care about automation look, they want to be cloud native. And one of the companies leading the ecosystem charge and building out more robust capabilities is Red Hat. And ahead of KubeCon Spain. It's our pleasure to welcome in Stu Miniman director of market insights at Red Hat to preview the event, Stu, good to see you, how you been? >> I'm doing awesome, Dave. Thanks for having me, great to be here. >> Yeah. So what's going on in Kube land these days? >> So it's funny Dave, if you were to kind of just listen out there in the marketplace, the CNCF has a survey that's like 96% of companies running Kubernetes production, everybody's doing it. And others will say, oh no, Kubernetes, only a small group group of people are using it, it's already probably got newer technologies that's replacing it. And the customers that I'm talking to Dave, first of all, yes, containers of Kubernetes, great growth growth rate, good adoption overall, I think we've said more than a year or two ago, we've probably crossed that chasm, the Jeff Moore, it's longer the early people just building all their own thing, taking all the open source, building this crazy stack that they need to had to do a lot of work we used to say. Chewing glass to be able to make it work right or anything, but it's still not as easy as you would like, almost no company that I talk to, if you're talking about big enterprises has Kubernetes just enterprise wide, and a hundred percent of their applications running on it. What is the tough challenge for people? And I mean, Dave, something, you and I have covered for many, many years, , that application portfolio that I have, most enterprises, hundreds, thousands of applications modernizing that having that truly be cloud native, that that's a really long journey and we are still in the midst of that, so I still still think we are in that, that if you look at the cross in the chasm that early majority chunk, so some of it is how do we mature things even better? And how do we make things simpler? Talk about things like automation, simplicity, security, we need to make sure they're all there so that it can be diffused and rolled out more broadly. And then we also need to think about where are we? We talk about the next million cloud customers, where does Kubernetes and containers and all the cloud native pieces fit into that broader discussion. Yes, there's some maturity there and we can declare victory on certain things, but there's still a lot, a lot of work that everyone's doing and that leads us into the show. I mean, dozens of projects that are already graduated, many more along that process from sandbox through a whole bunch of co-located events that are there, and it's always a great community event which Red Hat of course built on open source and community projects, so we're happy to have a good presence there as always. >> So you and I have talked about this in the past how essentially container's going to be embedded into a lot of different places, and sometimes it's hard to find, it's hard to track, but if you look at kind of the pre DevOps world skillsets like provisioning LANs, or configuring ports, or troubleshooting, squeezing more, server utilism, I mean, those who are really in high demand. If that's your skillset, then you're probably out of a job today. And so that's shifted toward things like Kubernetes. So you see and you see in the ETR data, it's along with cloud, and RPA, or automation, it is right up there I mean, it's top, the big four if you will, cloud, automation, RPA, and containers. And so we know there's a lot of spending activity going on there, but sometimes, like I said, it's hard to track I mean, if you got cloud growing at 35% a year, at least for the hyperscalers that we track, Kubernetes should be growing faster than that, should it not? >> Yeah, Dave, I would agree with you when I look at the big analyst firms that track this, I believe they've only got the container space at about a 25 per percent growth rate. >> Slower than cloud. But I compare that with Deepak Singh who runs at AWS, he has the open source office, he has all the containers and Kubernetes, and has visibility in all of that. And he says, basically, containers of the default when somebody's deploying to AWS today. Yes, serverless has its place, but it has not replaced or is not pushing down, slowing down the growth of containers or Kubernetes. We've got a strong partnership, I have lots of customers running on AWS. I guess I look at the numbers and like you, I would say that I would expect that that growth rate to be north of where just cloud in general is because the general adoption of containers and Kubernetes, we're still in the early phases of things. >> And I think a lot of the spendings Stu is actually in labor resources within companies and that's hard to track. Let's talk about what we should expect at the show. Obviously this whole notion of secure supply chain was a big deal last year in LA, what's hot? >> Yeah, so security Dave, absolutely. You said for years, it's a board level discussion, it's now something that really everyone in the organization has to know about the dev sec ops movement, has seen a lot of growth, secure supply chain, we're just trying to make sure that when I use open source, there's lots of projects, there is the huge ecosystem in marketplaces that are out there. So I want to make sure that as I grab all of the pieces that I know where they got came from the proper signature certification to make sure that the full solution that I build, I understand it. And if there are vulnerabilities, I know if there's an issue, how I patch it in the industry, we talk about CBEs, so those vulnerabilities, those exploits that come out, then everybody has to do a quick runaround to understand wait, hey, is my configuration? Am I vulnerable? Do I have to patch things? So security, absolutely still a huge, huge thing. Quick from a Red Hat standpoint, people might notice we made an acquisition a year ago of StackRox. That product itself also now has a completely fully open source project itself, also called StackRox. So the product is Red Hat advanced cluster security for Kubernetes, there's an open source equivalent for that called StackRox now, open source, community, there's a monthly office hour live streaming that a guy on my team actually does, and so there'll be a lot of activity at the show talking about security. So many other things happening at the show Dave. Another key area, you talked about the developers and what they want to worry about and what they don't. In the container space, there's a project called Knative. So Google helped create that, and that's to help me really have a serverless operational model, with still the containers and Kubernetes underneath that. So at the show, there will be the firs Knative con. And if you hadn't looked at Knative in a couple of years, one of the missing pieces that is now there is eventing. So if I look at functions and events, now that event capability is there, it's something I've talked to a lot of customers that were waiting for that to have it. It's not quite the same as like a Lambda, but is similar functionality that I can have with my containers in Kubernetes world. So that's an area that's there and so many others, I mean, GitOps are super hot at the last show. It's something that we've seen, really broad adoption since Argo CD went generally available last year, and lots of customers that are taking that to help them. That's both automation put together because I can allow GitHub to be my single source of truth for where I keep code, make sure I don't have any deviation from where the kind of the golden image if you will, it lives. >> So we're talking earlier about, how hard it is to track this stuff. So with the steep trajectory of growth and new customers coming on, there's got to be a lot of experimentation going on. That probably is being done, somebody downloads the open source code and starts playing with it. And then when they go to production that I would imagine Stu that's the point at which they say, hey, we need to fill some of these gaps. And they reach out to a company like yours and say, now we got to have certifications and trust., Do you. see that? >> So here's the big shift that happened, if we were looking four or five years ago, absolutely, I'd grab the open source code and some people might do that, but what cloud really enabled Dave, is rather than just grabbing, going to the dot the GitHub repo and pulling it down itself, I can go to the cloud so Microsoft, AWS, and Google all have their Kubernetes offering and I click a button. But that just gives me Kubernetes so there's still a steep learning curve. And as you said to build out out that full stack, that is one of the big things that we do with OpenShift is we take dozens of projects, pull them in together so you get a full platform. So you spend less time on curating, integrating, and managing that platform. And more time on the real value for your business, which is the application stack itself, the security and the like. And when we deliver OpenShift in the cloud, we have an SRE team that manages that for you. So one of the big challenges we have out there, there is a skillset gap, there are thousands of people getting certified on Kubernetes. There are, I think I saw over a hundred thousand job openings with Kubernetes mentioned in it, we just can't train people up fast enough, and the question I would have as an enterprise company is, if I'm going to the cloud, how much time do I want to build having SREs, having them focus on the infrastructure versus the things that are business specific. What did Amazon promise Dave? We're going to help you get rid of undifferentiated heavy lifting. Well, I just consume things as a service where I have an SRE team manage that environment. That might make more sense so that I can spend more time focusing on my business activities. That's a big focus that we've had on Red Hat, is our offerings that we have with the cloud providers to do and need offering. >> Yeah, the managed service capability is key. We saw, go back to the Hadoop days, we saw that's where Cloudera really struggled. They had to support every open source project. And then the customers largely had to figure it out themselves. Whereas you look at what data bricks did with spark. It was a managed service that was getting much greater adoption. So these complex areas, that's what you need. So people win sometimes when I use the term super cloud, and we getting little debates on Twitter, which is a lot of fun, but the idea is that you create the abstraction layer that spans your on-prem, your cloud, so you've got a hybrid. You want to go across clouds, what people call multi-cloud but as you know, I've sort of been skeptical of multi-cloud is really multi-vendor. But so we're talking about a substantial experience that's identical across those clouds and then ultimately out to the edge and we see a super Paas layer emerging, And people building on top of that, hiding the underlying complexity. What are your thoughts on that? How does Kubernetes in your view fit in? >> Yeah, it's funny, Dave, if you look at this container space at the beginning, Docker came out of a company called dotCloud. That was a PaaS company. And there's been so many times that that core functionality of how do I make my developers not have to worry about that underlying gank, but Dave, while the storage people might not have to worry about the LANs, somebody needs to understand how storage works, how networking works, if something breaks, how do I make sure I can take care of it. Sometimes that's a service that the SRE team manages that away from me. so that yes, there is something I don't need to think of about, but these are technically tough configurations. So first to one of your main questions, what do we see in customers with their hybrid and multi-cloud journey? So OpenShift over 10 years old, we started OpenShift before Kubernetes even was a thing. Lots of our customers run in what most people would consider hybrid, what does that mean? I have something in my data center, I have something in the cloud, OpenShift health, thanks to Kubernetes, I can have consistency for the developers, the operators, the security team, across those environments. Over the last few years, we've been doing a lot in the Kubernetes space as a whole, as the community, to get Kubernetes out to the edge. So one of the nice things, where do containers live Dave? Anywhere Linux does, is Linux going to be out of the edge? Absolutely, it can be a small footprint, we can do a lot with it. There were a lot of vendors that came out with it wasn't quite Kubernetes, they would strip certain things out or make a configuration that was smaller out at the edge, but a lot of times it was something that was just for a developer or something I could play with, and what it would break sometimes was that consistency out at the edge to what my other environments would like to have. And if I'm a company that needs consistency there. So take for example, if I have an AI workload where I need edge, and I need something in the cloud, or in my data center of consistency. So the easy use case that everybody thinks about is autonomous vehicles. We work with a lot of the big car manufacturers, I need to have when my developer build something, and often my training will be done either in the data center or in the public cloud, but I need to be able to push that out to the vehicle itself and let it run. We've actually even got Dave, we've got Kubernetes running up on the ISS. And you want to make sure that we have a consistency. >> The ultimate edge. >> Yeah, so I said, right, it's edge above and beyond the clouds even, we've gone to beyond. So that is something that the industry as a whole has been working at, from a Red Hat standpoint, we can take OpenShift to a really small footprint. Last year we launched was known as single node OpenShift. We have a project called micro shift, which is also fully open source that it has less pieces of the overall environment to be able to fit onto smaller and smaller devices there. But we want to be able to manage all of them consistently because you talked about multi cluster management. Well, what if I have thousands or 10 of thousands of devices out of the edge? I don't necessarily have network, I don't have people, I need to be able to do things from an automated standpoint. And that's where containers and Kubernetes really can shine. And where a lot of effort has been done in general and something specifically, we're working on it, Red Hat, we've had some great customers in the telecommunication space. Talk about like the 5G rollout with this, and industrial companies that need to be able to push out at the edge for these type of solutions. >> So you just kind of answered my next question, but I want to double click on it which was, if I'm in the cloud, why do I need you? And you touched on it because you've got primitives, and APIs, and AWS, Google, and Microsoft, they're different, if you're going to hide the underlying complexity of that, it takes a lot of RND and work, now extend that to a Tesla. You got to make it run there, different use case, but that's kind of what Linux and OpenShift are design to do, so double click on that. >> Yeah, so right. If I look at the discussion you've been having about super clouds is interesting because there are many companies that we work with that do live across multiple environments. So number one, if I'm a developer, if my company came to me and said, hey, you've got all your certifications and you got years of experience running on Amazon, well, we need you to go run over on Google. That developer might switch companies rather than switch clouds because they've got all of their knowledge and skillset, and it's a steep learning curve. So there's a lot of companies that work on, how can we give you tools and solutions that can live across those environments? So I know you mentioned companies like Snowflake, MongoDB, companies like Red Hat, HashiCorp, GitLab, also span all of those environments. There's a lot of work, Dave, to be different than not just, I say, I don't love the term like we're cloud agnostic, which would mean, well, you can use any cloud. >> You can run on any cloud. >> That's not what we're talking about. Look at the legacy that Red Hat has is, Red Hat has decades of running in every customer's data center and pick your X 86 server of choice. And we would have deep relationships when Dell, HP, IBM, Lenovo, you name it, comes out with a new piece of hardware that was different. We would have to make sure that the Linux primitives work from a Red Hat standpoint. Interesting Dave, we're now supporting OpenShift on Azure Stack Hub. And I talked to our head of product management, and I said, we've been running OpenShift in Azure for years, isn't Azure Stack Hub? Isn't that just Azure in your data center. He's like, yeah, but down at the operating system level, we had to change some flags and change some settings and things like that, so what do we know in IT? It's always the yeah, at the high level, it looks the same, it acts the same, it feels the same. >> Seamless. >> It's seamless in everything when you get down to the primitives level, sometimes that we need to be able to do that. I'll tell you Dave, there's things even when I look at A cloud, if I'm in US East One, or US West One, there actually could be some differences in what services are there or how things react, and so therefore we have a lot of deep work that goes into all of those environments, and it's not just Red Hat, we have a marketplace and an ecosystem, we want to make sure you've got API compatibility across all of those. So we are trying to help lift up this entire ecosystem and bring everybody along with it because you set it at the upfront, Kubernetes alone won't do it, oo one vendor gives you an entire, everything that you need for your developer tool chain. There's a lot that goes into this, and that's where we have deep commitment to partnerships. We build out and support lots of ecosystems. And this show itself is very much a community driven show. And, and therefore, that's why Red Hat has a strong presence at it, 'cause that's the open source community and everything that we built on. >> You guys are knee deep in it. You know I wrote down when you were talking about Snowflake and Mongo, HashiCorps, another one, I wrote down Dell, HP, Cisco, Lenovo, that to me, that should be their strategy. NetApp, their strategy should be to basically build out that abstraction layer, the so-called super cloud. So be interesting to see if they're going to be at this show. It requires a lot of R and D number one, number two, to your point, it requires an ecosystem. So you got all these guys, most of them now do in their own as a service, as a service is their own cloud. Their own cloud means you better have an ecosystem that's robust. I want to ask you about, do you ever think about what's next beyond Kubernetes? Or do you feel like, hey, there's just so much headroom in Kubernetes and so many active projects, we got ways to go. >> Yeah, so the Kubernetes itself Dave, should be able to fade into the background some. In many ways it does mirror what happened with Linux. So Linux is just the foundation of everything we have. We would not have the public cloud providers if it wasn't for Linux. I mean, Google, of course you wouldn't have without Linux, Amazon. >> Is on the internet. >> Right, but you might not have a lot of it. So Kubernetes, I think really goes the same way is, it is the foundational layer of what so much of it is built on top of it, and it's not really. So many people think about that portability. Oh, Google's the one that created it, and they wanted to make sure that it was easy if I want to go from the cloud provider that I had to use Kubernetes on Google cloud. And while that is a piece of it, that consistency is more important. And what I can build on top of it, it is really more of a distributed systems challenge that we are solving and that we've been working on in industry now for decades. So that is what we help solve, and what's really nice, containers and Kubernetes, it's less of an abstraction, it's more of new atomic unit of how we build things. So virtualization, I don't know what's underneath, and we spent like a decade fixing the storage networking components underneath so that the LANs matched right, and the network understood what was happening in the virtual machine. The atomic unit of a container, which is what Kubernetes manages is an application or a piece of an application. And therefore that there is less of an abstraction, more of just a rearchitecting of how we build things, and that is part of what is needed, and boy, Dave, the ecosystem, oh my God, yes, we've gone to only three releases a year, but I can tell you our roadmaps are all public on the internet and we talk heavily about them. There is still so many things that just at the basic Kubernetes piece, new architectures, arm devices are now in there, we're now supporting them, Kubernetes can support them too. So there are so many hardware pieces that are coming, so many software devices, the edge, we talked about it a bit, so there's so much that's going on. One of the areas that I love hearing about at the show, we have a community event called OpenShift Comments, which one of the main things of OpenShift Comments, is customers coming to talk about what they've been doing, and not about our products, we're talking about the projects and their journey overall. We've got a at Flenty Show, Airbus and Telefonica, are both going to be talking about what they're doing. We've seen Dave, every industry is going through their digital transformation journey. And it's great to hear straight from them what they're doing, and one of the big pieces in area, we actually spend a bunch of time on that application journey. There's a group of open source projects under what's known as Konveyor, that's conveyor with a K, Konveyor.io. It's modernization in migration. So how do I go from a VM to a container? How do I go from my data center to a cloud? How do I switch between services, open source projects to help with that journey? And, oh my gosh, Dave, I mean, you know in the cloud space, I mean that's what all the SIs and all the consultancies are throwing thousands of people at, is to help us get along that curve of that modernization journey. >> Okay, so let's see May 16th, the week of May 16th is KubeCon in Valencia Spain. theCUBE's going to be there, there was a little bit of a curfuffle on Twitter because the mask mandate was lifted in Spain and people had made plans thinking, okay, it's safe everybody's going to be wearing masks. Well, now I mean, you're going to have to make your own decisions on that front. I mean, you saw that you follow Twitter quite closely, but hey, this is the world we live in. So I'll give you the last word. >> Yeah, we'll see if Twitter still exists by the time we get to that show with. >> Could be private. What happens, but yeah, no, Dave, I'll be participating remotely, it is a hybrid event, so one of the things we'll be watching is, how many people are there in person LA was a pretty small show, core contributors, brought it back to some of the early days that you covered heavily from theCUBE standpoint, how Valencia will be? I know from Red Hat standpoint, we have people there, many of them from Europe, both speaking, we talked about many of the co-located events that are there, so a lot of pieces all participate remotely. So if you stop by the OpenShift commons event, I'll be part of the event just from a hybrid standpoint. And yeah, we've actually got the week before, we've got Red Hat Summit. So it's nice to actually to have back to back weeks. We'd had that a whole bunch of times before I remember, back to back weeks in Boston one year where we had both of those events and everything. That's definitely. >> Connective tissue. >> Keeps us busy there. You've got a whole bunch of travel going on. I'm not doing too much travel just yet, Dave, but it's good to see you and it's great to be connected with community. >> Yeah, so theCUBE will be there. John Furrier is hosting with Keith Townsend. So if you're in Valencia, definitely stop by. Stu thanks so much for coming into theCUBE Studios I appreciate it. >> Thanks, Dave. >> All right, and thank you for watching. We'll see you the week of May 16th in Valencia, Spain. (upbeat music)

SUMMARY :

it's adding many of the Thanks for having me, great to be here. on in Kube land these days? that chasm, the Jeff Moore, the hyperscalers that we track, the big analyst firms that track this, containers of the default and that's hard to track. that the full solution that Stu that's the point at which they say, that is one of the big things but the idea is that you out at the edge to what of devices out of the edge? now extend that to a Tesla. If I look at the discussion that the Linux primitives work and everything that we built on. that to me, that should be their strategy. So Linux is just the foundation so that the LANs matched right, because the mask mandate still exists by the time of the early days that but it's good to see you So if you're in Valencia, We'll see you the week of

Deep Dive into ThoughtSpot One | Beyond.2020 Digital


 

>>Yeah, >>yeah. Hello and welcome to this track to creating engaging analytics experiences for all. I'm Hannah Sinden Thought spots Omiya director of marketing on. I'm delighted to have you here today. A boy Have we got to show for you now? I might be a little bit biased as the host of this track, but in my humble opinion, you've come to a great place to start because this track is all about everything. Thought spot. We'll be talking about embedded search in a I thought spot one spot I. Q. We've got great speakers from both thoughts about andare customers as well as some cool product demos. But it's not all product talk. We'll be looking at how to leverage the tech to give your users a great experience. So first up is our thoughts about one deep dive. This session will be showing you how we've built on our already superb search experience to make it even easier for users across your company to get insight. We've got some great speakers who are going to be telling you about the cool stuff they've been working on to make it really fantastic and easy for non technical people to get the answers they need. So I'm really delighted to introduce Bob Baxley s VP of design and experience That thought spot on Vishal Kyocera Thought spots director of product management. So without further ado, I'll hand it over to Bob. Thanks, >>Hannah. It's great to be here with everybody today and really excited to be able to present to you thought spot one. We've been working on this for months and months and are super excited to share it before we get to the demo with Shawl, though, I just want to set things up a little bit to help people understand how we think about design here. A thought spot. The first thing is that we really try to think in terms of thought. Spot is a consumer grade product, terms what we wanted. Consumer grade you x for an analytics. And that means that for reference points rather than looking at other enterprise software companies, we tend to look at well known consumer brands like Google, YouTube and WhatsApp. We firmly believe that people are people, and it doesn't matter if they're using software for their own usage or thought are they're using software at work We wanted to have a great experience. The second piece that we were considering with thoughts about one is really what we call the desegregation of bundles. So instead of having all of your insights wraps strictly into dashboards, we want to allow users to get directly to individual answers. This is similar to what we saw in music. Were instead of you having to buy the entire album, of course, you could just buy individual songs. You see this in iTunes, Spotify and others course. Another key idea was really getting rid of gate keepers and curators and kind of changing people from owning the information, helping enable users to gather together the most important and interesting insights So you can follow curator rather than feeling like you're limited in the types of information you can get. And finally, we wanted to make search the primary way, for people are thinking about thought spot. As you'll see, we've extended search from beyond simply searching for your data toe, also searching to be able to find pin boards and answers that have been created by other people. So with that, I'll turn it over to my good friend Rachel Thio introduce more of thought, spot one and to show you a demo of the product. >>Thank you, Bob. It's a pleasure to be here to Hello, everyone. My name is Michelle and Andy, product management for Search. And I'm really, really excited to be here talking about thoughts about one our Consumer analytics experience in the Cloud. Now, for my part of the talk, we're gonna first to a high level overview of thoughts about one. Then we're going to dive into a demo, and then we're gonna close with just a few thoughts about what's coming next. So, without any today, let's get started now at thought spot. Our mission is to empower every user regardless of their expertise, to easily engage with data on make better data driven decisions. We want every user, the nurse, the neighborhood barista, the teacher, the sales person, everyone to be able to do their jobs better by using data now with thoughts about one. We've made it even more intuitive for all these business users to easily connect with the insights that are most relevant for them, and we've made it even easier for analysts to do their jobs more effectively and more efficiently. So what does thoughts about one have? There's a lot off cool new features, but they all fall into three main categories. The first main category is enhanced search capabilities. The second is a brand new homepage that's built entirely for you, and the third is powerful tools for the analysts that make them completely self service and boost their productivity. So let's see how these work Thought Spot is the pioneer for search driven analytics. We invented search so that business users can ask questions of data and create new insights. But over the years we realized that there was one key piece off functionality that was missing from our search, and that was the ability to discover insights and content that had already been created. So to clarify, our search did allow users to create new content, but we until now did not have the ability to search existing content. Now, why does that matter? Let's take an example. I am a product manager and I am always in thought spot, asking questions to better understand how are users are using the product so we can improve it now. Like me, A lot of my colleagues are doing the same thing. Ah, lot of questions that I asked have already been answered either completely are almost completely by many of my colleagues, but until now there's been no easy way for me to benefit from their work. And so I end up recreating insights that already exists, leading to redundant work that is not good for the productivity off the organization. In addition, even though our search technology is really intuitive, it does require a little bit of familiarity with the underlying data. You do need to know what metric you care about and what grouping you care about so that you can articulate your questions and create new insights. Now, if I consider in New employees product manager who joins Hotspot today and wants to ask questions, then the first time they use thought spot, they may not have that data familiarity. So we went back to the drawing board and asked ourselves, Well, how can we augment our search so that we get rid off or reduced the redundant work that I described? And in addition, empower users, even new users with very little expertise, maybe with no data familiarity, to succeed in getting answers to their questions the first time they used Hot Spot, and we're really proud and excited to announce search answers. Search answers allows users to search across existing content to get answers to their questions, and its a great compliment to search data, which allows them to search the underlying data directly to create new content. Now, with search answers were shipping in number of cool features like Answer Explainer, Personalized search Results, Answer Explorer, etcetera that make it really intuitive and powerful. And we'll see how all of these work in action in the demo. Our brand new homepage makes it easier than ever for all these business users to connect with the insights that are most relevant to them. These insights could be insights that these users already know about and want to track regularly. For example, as you can see, the monitor section at the top center of the screen thes air, the KP eyes that I may care most about, and I may want to look at them every day, and I can see them every day right here on my home page. By the way, there's a monitoring these metrics in the bankrupt these insights that I want to connect with could also be insights that I want to know more about the search experience that I just spoke about ISS seamlessly integrated into the home page. So right here from the home page, I can fire my searchers and ask whatever questions I want. Finally, and most interestingly, the homepage also allows me to connect with insights that I should know about, even if I didn't explicitly ask for them. So what's an example? If you look at the panel on the right, I can discover insights that are trending in my organization. If I look at the panel on the left, I can discover insights based on my social graph based on the people that I'm following. Now you might wonder, How do we create this personalized home page? Well, our brand new, personalized on boarding experience makes it a piece of cake as a new business user. The very first time I log into thought spot, I pay three people I want to follow and three metrics that I want to follow, and I picked these from a pool of suggestions that Ai has generated. And just like that, the new home page gets created. And let's not forget about analysts. We have a personalized on boarding experience specifically for analysts that's optimized for their needs. Now, speaking of analysts, I do want to talk about the tools that I spoke off earlier that made the analysts completely self service and greatly boost their productivity's. We want analysts to go from zero to search in less than 30 minutes, and with our with our new augmented data modeling features and thoughts about one, they can do just that. They get a guided experience where they can connect, model and visualize their data. With just a few clicks, our AI engine takes care off a number of tasks, including figuring out joints and, you know, cleaning up column names. In fact, our AI engine also helps them create a number of answers to get started quickly so that these analysts can spend their time and energy on what matters most answering the most complicated and challenging and impactful questions for the business. So I spoke about a number of different capabilities off thoughts about one, but let's not forget that they are all packaged in a delightful user experience designed by Bob and his team, and it powers really, really intuitive and powerful user flows, from personalized on boarding to searching to discover insights that already exist on that are ranked based on personalized algorithms to making refinements to these insights with a assistance to searching, to create brand new insights from scratch. And finally sharing all the insights that you find interesting with your colleagues so that it drives conversations, decisions and, most importantly, actions so that your business can improve. With that said, let's drive right into the demo for this demo. We're going to use sales data set for a company that runs a chain off retail stores selling apparel. Our user is a business user. Her name is Charlotte. She's a merchandiser, She's new to this company, and she is going to be leading the genes broader category. She's really excited about job. She wants to use data to make better decisions, so she comes to thought spot, and this is what she sees. There are three main sections on the home page that she comes to. The central section allows you to browse through items that she has access to and filter them in various ways. Based for example, on author or on tags or based on what she has favorited. The second section is this panel on the right hand side, which allows her to discover insights that are trending within her company. This is based on what other people within her company are viewing and also personalized to her. Finally, there's this search box that seamlessly integrated into the home page. Now Charlotte is really curious to learn how the business is doing. She wants to learn more about sales for the business, so she goes to the search box and searches for sales, and you can see that she's taken to a page with search results. Charlotte start scanning the search results, and she sees the first result is very relevant. It shows her what the quarterly results were for the last year, but the result that really catches her attention is regional sales. She'd love to better understand how sales are broken down by regions. Now she's interested in the search result, but she doesn't yet want to commit to clicking on it and going to that result. She wants to learn more about this result before she does that, and she could do that very easily simply by clicking anywhere on the search result card. Doing that reveals our answer. Explain our technology and you can see this information panel on the right side. It shows more details about the search results that she selected, and it also gives her an easy to understand explanation off the data that it contains. You can see that it tells her that the metrics sales it's grouped by region and splitter on last year. She can also click on this preview button to see a preview off the chart that she would see if she went to that result. It shows her that region is going to be on the X axis and sales on the Y axis. All of this seems interesting to her, and she wants to learn more. So she clicks on this result, and she's brought to this chart now. This contains the most up to date data, and she can interact with this data. Now, as she's looking at this data, she learns that Midwest is the region with the highest sales, and it has a little over $23 million in sales, and South is the region with the lowest sales, and it has about $4.24 million in sales. Now, as Charlotte is looking at this chart, she's reminded off a conversation she had with Suresh, another new hire at the company who she met at orientation just that morning. Suresh is responsible for leading a few different product categories for the Western region off the business, and she thinks that he would find this chart really useful Now she can share this chart with Suresh really easily from right here by clicking the share button. As Charlotte continues to look at this chart and understand the data, she thinks, uh, that would be great for her to understand. How do these sales numbers across regions look for just the genes product category, since that's the product category that she is going to be leading? And she can easily narrow this data to just the genes category by using her answer Explorer technology. This panel on the right hand side allows her to make the necessary refinements. Now she can do that simply by typing in the search box, or she can pick from one off the AI generated suggestions that are personalized for her now. In this case, the AI has already suggested genes as a prototype for her. So with just a single click, she can narrow the data to show sales data for just jeans broken down by region. And she can see that Midwest is still the region with the highest sales for jeans, with $1.35 million in sales. Now let's spend a minute thinking about what we just saw. This is the first time that Charlotte is using Thought spot. She does not know anything about the data sources. She doesn't know anything about measures or attributes. She doesn't know the names of the columns. And yet she could get to insights that are relevant for her really easily using a search interface that's very much like Google. And as she started interacting with search results, she started building a slightly better understanding off the underlying data. When she found an insight that she thought would be useful to a colleague offers, it was really seamless for her to share it with that colleague from where she Waas. Also, even though she's searching over content that has already been created by her colleagues in search answers. She was in no way restricted to exactly that data as we just saw. She could refine the data in an insight that she found by narrowing it. And there's other things you can do so she could interact with the data for the inside that she finds using search answers. Let's take a slightly more complex question that Charlotte may have. Let's assume she wanted to learn about sales broken down by, um, by category so that she can compare her vertical, which is jeans toe other verticals within the company. Again, she can see that the very first result that she gets is very relevant. It shows her search Sorry, sales by category for last year. But what really catches her attention about this result is the name of the author. She's thrilled to note that John, who is the author of this result, was also an instructor for one off for orientation sessions and clearly someone who has a lot of insight into the sales data at this company. Now she would love to see mawr results by John, and to do that, all she has to do is to click on his name now all of the search results are only those that have been authored by John. In fact, this whole panel at the top of the results allow her to filter her search results or sort them in different ways. By clicking on these authors filter, she can discover other authors who are reputed for the topic that she's searching for. She can also filter by tags, and she can sort these results in different ways. This whole experience off doing a search and then filtering search results easily is similar to how we use e commerce search engines in the consumer world. For example, Amazon, where you may search for a product and then filter by price range or filter by brand. For example, Let's also spend a minute talking about how do we determine relevance for these results and how they're ranked. Um, when considering relevance for these results, we consider three main categories of things. We want to first make sure that the result is in fact relevant to the question that the user is asking, and for that we look at various fields within the result. We look at the title, the author, the description, but also the technical query underpinning that result. We also want to make sure that the results are trustworthy, because we want users to be able to make business decisions based on the results that they find. And for that we look at a number of signals as well. For example, how popular that result is is one of those signals. And finally, we want to make sure the results are relevant to the users themselves. So we look at signals to personalize the result for that user. So those are all the different categories of signals that we used to determine overall ranking for a search result. You may be wondering what happens if if Charlotte asks a question for which nobody has created any answer, so no answers exist. Let's say she wants to know what the total sales of genes for last year and no one's created that well. It's really easy for her to switch from searching for answers, which is searching for content that has already been created to searching the data directly so she can create a new insight from scratch. Let's see how that works. She could just click here, and now she's in the search data in her face and for the question that I just talked about. She can just type genes sales last year. And just like that, she could get an answer to her question. The total sales for jeans last year were almost $4.6 million. As you can see, the two modes off search searching for answers and searching, the data are complementary, and it's really easy to switch from one to the other. Now we understand that some business users may not be motivated to create their own insights from scratch. Or sometimes some of these business users may have questions that are too complicated, and so they may struggle to create their own inside from scratch. Now what happens usually in these circumstances is that these users will open a ticket, which would go to the analyst team. The analyst team is usually overrun with these tickets and have trouble prioritizing them. And so we started thinking, How can we make that entire feedback loop really efficient so that analysts can have a massive impact with as little work as possible? Let me show you what we came up with. Search answers comes with this system generated dashboard that analysts can see to see analytics on the queries that business users are asking in search answers so it contains high level K P. I is like, You know how many searches there are and how many users there are. It also contains one of the most popular queries that users are asking. But most importantly, it contains information about what are popular queries where users are failing. So the number on the top right tells you that about 10% off queries in this case ended with no results. So the user clearly failed because there were no results on the table. Right below it shows you here are the top search queries for original results exist. So, for example, the highlighted row there says jean sales with the number three, which tells the analysts that last week there were three searches for the query jean sales and the resulted in no results on search answers. Now, when an analyst sees a report like this, they can use it to prioritize what kind of content they could be creating or optimizing. Now, in addition to giving them inside into queries which led to no results or zero results. This dashboard also contains reports on creatives that lead to poor results because the user did get some results but didn't click on anything, meaning that they didn't get the answer that they were looking for. Taking all these insights, analysts can better prioritize and either create or optimize their content to have maximum impact for their business users with the least amount of for. So that was the demo. As you can see with search answers, we've created a very consumer search interface that any business user can use to get the answers to their questions by leveraging data or answers that have already been created in the system by other users in their organization. In addition, we're creating tools that allow analysts toe create or optimized content that can have the highest impact for these business users. All right, so that was the demo or thoughts about one and hope you guys liked it. We're really excited about it. Now Let me just spend a minute talking about what's coming next. As I've mentioned before, we want to connect every business user with the insights that are most relevant for them, and for that we will continue to invest in Advanced AI and personalization, and some of the ways you will see it is improved relevance in ranking in recommendations in how we understand your questions across the product within search within the home page everywhere. The second team that will continue to invest in is powerful analyst tools. We talked about tools and, I assure you, tools that make the analysts more self service. We are committed to improving the analyst experience so that they can make the most off their time. An example of a tool that we're really excited about is one that allows them to bridge the vocabulary difference that this even business user asks questions. A user asked a question like revenue, but the column name for the metric in the data set its sales. Now analysts can get insights into what are the words that users air using in their questions that aren't matching anything in the data set and easily create synonyms so that that vocabulary difference gets breached. But that's just one example of how we're thinking about empowering the analysts so that with minimal work, they can amplify their impact and help their business users succeed. So there's a lot coming, and we're really excited about how we're planning to evolve thoughts about one. With all that said, Um, there's just, well, one more thing that my friend Bob wants to talk to you guys about. So back to you, Bob. >>Thanks, Michelle. It's such a great demo and so fun to see all the new work that's going on with thought. Spot one. All the happenings for the new features coming out that will be under the hood. But of course, on the design side, we're going to continue to evolve the front end as well, and this is what we're hoping to move towards. So here you'll see a new log in screen and then the new homepage. So compared to the material that you saw just a few minutes ago, you'll notice this look is much lighter. A little bit nicer use of color up in the top bar with search the features over here to allow you to switch between searching against answers at versus creating new answers, the settings and user profile controls down here and then on the search results page itself also lighter look and feel again. Mork color up in the search bar up the top. A little bit nicer treatments here. We'll continue to evolve the look and feel the product in coming months and quarters and look forward to continue to constantly improving thoughts about one Hannah back to you. >>Thanks, Bob, and thank you both for showing us the next generation of thought spot. I'd love to go a bit deeper on some of the points you touched on there. I've got a couple of questions here. Bob, how do you think about designing for consumer experience versus designing for enterprise solutions? >>Yes, I mentioned Hannah. We don't >>really try to distinguish so much between enterprise users and consumer users. It's really kind of two different context of use. But we still always think that users want some product and feature and experience that's easy to use and makes sense to them. So instead of trying to think about those is two completely different design processes I think about it may be the way Frank Lloyd Wright would approached architecture. >>Er I >>mean, in his career, he fluidly moved between residential architecture like falling water and the Robie House. But he also designed marquis buildings like the Johnson wax building. In each case, he simply looked at the requirements, thought about what was necessary for those users and designed accordingly. And that's really what we do. A thought spot. We spend time talking to customers. We spend time talking to users, and we spent a lot of time thinking through the problem and trying to solve it holistically. And it's simply a possible >>thanks, Bob. That's a beautiful analogy on one last question for you. Bischel. How frequently will you be adding features to this new experience, >>But I'm glad you asked that, Hannah, because this is something that we are really really excited about with thoughts about one being in the cloud. We want to go really, really fast. So we expect to eventually get to releasing new innovations every day. We expect that in the near future, we'll get to, you know, every month and every week, and we hope to get to everyday eventually fingers crossed on housing. That can happen. Great. Thanks, >>Michelle. And thank you, Bob. I'm so glad you could all join us this morning to hear more about thoughts about one. Stay close and get ready for the next session. which will be beginning in a few minutes. In it will be introduced to thoughts for >>everywhere are >>embedded analytics product on. We'll be hearing directly from our customers at Hayes about how they're using embedded analytics to help healthcare providers across billing compliance on revenue integrity functions. To make more informed decisions on make effective actions to avoid risk and maximize revenue. See you there.

How T-Mobile is Building a Data-Driven Organization | Beyond.2020 Digital


 

>>Yeah, yeah, hello again and welcome to our last session of the day before we head to the meat. The experts roundtables how T Mobile is building a data driven organization with thought spot and whip prone. Today we'll hear how T Mobile is leaving Excel hell by enabling all employees with self service analytics so they can get instant answers on curated data. We're lucky to be closing off the day with these two speakers. Evo Benzema, manager of business intelligence services at T Mobile Netherlands, and Sanjeev Chowed Hurry, lead architect AT T Mobile, Netherlands, from Whip Chrome. Thank you both very much for being with us today, for today's session will cover how mobile telco markets have specific dynamics and what it waas that T Mobile was facing. We'll also go over the Fox spot and whip pro solution and how they address T mobile challenges. Lastly, but not least, of course, we'll cover Team Mobil's experience and learnings and takeaways that you can use in your business without further ado Evo, take us away. >>Thank you very much. Well, let's first talk a little bit about T Mobile, Netherlands. We are part off the larger deutsche Telekom Group that ISS operating in Europe and the US We are the second largest mobile phone company in the Netherlands, and we offer the full suite awful services that you expect mobile landline in A in an interactive TV. And of course, Broadbent. Um so this is what the Mobile is appreciation at at the moment, a little bit about myself. I'm already 11 years at T Mobile, which is we part being part of the furniture. In the meantime, I started out at the front line service desk employee, and that's essentially first time I came into a touch with data, and what I found is that I did not have any possibility of myself to track my performance. Eso I build something myself and here I saw that this need was there because really quickly, roughly 2020 off my employer colleagues were using us as well. This was a little bit where my efficient came from that people need to have access to data across the organization. Um, currently, after 11 years running the BR Services Department on, I'm driving this transformation now to create a data driven organization with a heavy customer focus. Our big goal. Our vision is that within two years, 8% of all our employees use data on a day to day basis to make their decisions and to improve their decision. So over, tuition Chief. Now, thank >>you. Uh, something about the proof. So we prize a global I T and business process consulting and delivery company. Uh, we have a comprehensive portfolio of services with presents, but in 61 countries and maybe 1000 plus customers. As we're speaking with Donald, keep customers Region Point of view. We primary look to help our customers in reinventing the business models with digital first approach. That's how we look at our our customers toe move to digitalization as much as possible as early as possible. Talking about myself. Oh, I have little over two decades of experience in the intelligence and tell cope landscape. Calico Industries. I have worked with most of the telcos totally of in us in India and in Europe is well now I have well known cream feed on brownfield implementation off their house on big it up platforms. At present, I'm actively working with seminal data transform initiative mentioned by evil, and we are actively participating in defining the logical and physical footprint for future architectures for criminal. I understand we are also, in addition, taking care off and two and ownership off off projects, deliveries on operations, back to you >>so a little bit over about the general telco market dynamics. It's very saturated market. Everybody has mobile phones already. It's the growth is mostly gone, and what you see is that we have a lot of trouble around customer brand loyalty. People switch around from provider to provider quite easily, and new customers are quite expensive. So our focus is always to make customer loyal and to keep them in the company. And this is where the opportunities are as well. If we increase the retention of customers or reduce what we say turned. This is where the big potential is for around to use of data, and we should not do this by only offering this to the C suite or the directors or the mark managers data. But this needs to be happening toe all employees so that they can use this to really help these customers and and services customers is situated. This that we can create his loyalty and then This is where data comes in as a big opportunity going forward. Yeah. So what are these challenges, though? What we're facing two uses the data. And this is, uh, these air massive over our big. At least let's put it like that is we have a lot of data. We create around four billion new record today in our current platforms. The problem is not everybody can use or access this data. You need quite some technical expertise to add it, or they are pre calculated into mawr aggregated dashboard. So if you have a specific question, uh, somebody on the it side on the buy side should have already prepared something so that you can get this answer. So we have a huge back lock off questions and data answers that currently we cannot answer on. People are limited because they need technical expertise to use this data. These are the challenges we're trying to solve going forward. >>Uh, so the challenge we see in the current landscape is T mobile as a civil mentioned number two telco in Europe and then actually in Netherlands. And then we have a lot of acquisitions coming in tow of the landscape. So overall complexity off technical stack increases year by year and acquisition by acquisition it put this way. So we at this time we're talking about Claudia Irureta in for Matic Uh, aws and many other a complex silo systems. We actually are integrated where we see multiple. In some cases, the data silos are also duplicated. So the challenge here is how do we look into this data? How do we present this data to business and still ensure that Ah, mhm Kelsey of the data is reliable. So in this project, what we looked at is we curated that around 10% off the data of us and made it ready for business to look at too hot spot. And this also basically help us not looking at the A larger part of the data all together in one shot. What's is going to step by step with manageable set of data, obviously manages the time also and get control on cost has. >>So what did we actually do and how we did? Did we do it? And what are we going to do going forward? Why did we chose to spot and what are we measuring to see if we're successful is is very simply, Some stuff I already alluded to is usual adoption. This needs to be a tool that is useable by everybody. Eso This is adoption. The user experience is a major key to to focus on at the beginning. Uh, but lastly, and this is just also cold hard. Fact is, it needs to save time. It needs to be faster. It needs to be smarter than the way we used to do it. So we focused first on setting up the environment with our most used and known data set within the company. The data set that is used already on the daily basis by a large group. We know what it's how it works. We know how it acts on this is what we decided to make available fire talksport this cut down the time around, uh, data modeling a lot because we had this already done so we could go right away into training users to start using this data, and this is already going on very successfully. We have now 40 heavily engaged users. We go went life less than a month ago, and we see very successful feedback on user experience. We had either yesterday, even a beautiful example off loading a new data set and and giving access to user that did not have a training for talk sport or did not know what thoughts, what Waas. And we didn't in our he was actively using this data set by building its own pin boards and asking questions already. And this shows a little bit the speed off delivery we can have with this without, um, much investments on data modeling, because that's part was already done. So our second stage is a little bit more ambitious, and this is making sure that all this information, all our information, is available for frontline uh, employees. So a customer service but also chills employees that they can have data specifically for them that make them their life easier. So this is performance KP ice. But it could also be the beautiful word that everybody always uses customer Terry, 60 fuse. But this is giving the power off, asking questions and getting answers quickly to everybody in the company. That's the big stage two after that, and this is going forward a little bit further in the future and we are not completely there yet, is we also want Thio. Really? After we set up the government's properly give the power to add your own data to our curated data sets that that's when you've talked about. And then with that, we really hope that Oh, our ambition and our plan is to bring this really to more than 800 users on a daily basis to for uses on a daily basis across our company. So this is not for only marketing or only technology or only one segment. This is really an application that we want to set in our into system that works for everybody. And this is our ambition that we will work through in these three, uh, steps. So what did we learn so far? And and Sanjeev, please out here as well, But one I already said, this is no which, which data set you start. This is something. Start with something. You know, start with something that has a wide appeal to more than one use case and make sure that you make this decision. Don't ask somebody else. You know what your company needs? The best you should be in the driver seat off this decision. And this is I would be saying really the big one because this will enable you to kickstart this really quickly going forward. Um, second, wellness and this is why we introduce are also here together is don't do this alone. Do this together with, uh I t do this together with security. Do this together with business to tackle all these little things that you don't think about yourself. Maybe security, governance, network connections and stuff like that. Make sure that you do this as a company and don't try to do this on your own, because there's also again it's removes. Is so much obstacles going forward? Um, lastly, I want to mention is make sure that you measure your success and this is people in the data domain sometimes forget to measure themselves. Way can make sure everybody else, but we forget ourselves. But really try to figure out what makes its successful for you. And we use adoption percentages, usual experience, surveys and and really calculations about time saved. We have some rough calculations that we can calculate changes thio monetary value, and this will save us millions in years. by just automating time that is now used on, uh, now to taken by people on manual work. So, do you have any to adhere? A swell You, Susan, You? >>Yeah. So I'll just pick on what you want to mention about. Partner goes live with I t and other functions. But that is a very keating, because from my point of view, you see if you can see that the data very nice and data quality is also very clear. If we have data preparing at the right level, ready to be consumed, and data quality is taken, care off this feel 30 less challenges. Uh, when the user comes and questioned the gator, those are the things which has traded Quiz it we should be sure about before we expose the data to the Children. When you're confident about your data, you are confident that the user will also get the right numbers they're looking for and the number they have. Their mind matches with what they see on the screen. And that's where you see there. >>Yeah, and that that that again helps that adoption, and that makes it so powerful. So I fully agree. >>Thank you. Eva and Sanjeev. This is the picture perfect example of how a thought spot can get up and running, even in a large, complex organization like T Mobile and Sanjay. Thank you for sharing your experience on how whip rose system integration expertise paved the way for Evo and team to realize value quickly. Alright, everyone's favorite part. Let's get to some questions. Evil will start with you. How have your skill? Data experts reacted to thought spot Is it Onley non technical people that seem to be using the tool or is it broader than that? You may be on. >>Yes, of course, that happens in the digital environment. Now this. This is an interesting question because I was a little bit afraid off the direction off our data experts and are technically skilled people that know how to work in our fight and sequel on all these things. But here I saw a lot of enthusiasm for the tool itself and and from two sides, either to use it themselves because they see it's a very easy way Thio get to data themselves, but also especially that they see this as a benefit, that it frees them up from? Well, let's say mundane questions they get every day. And and this is especially I got pleasantly surprised with their reaction on that. And I think maybe you can also say something. How? That on the i t site that was experienced. >>Well, uh, yeah, from park department of you, As you mentioned, it is changing the way business is looking at. The data, if you ask me, have taken out talkto data rather than looking at it. Uh, it is making the interactivity that that's a keyword. But I see that the gap between the technical and function folks is also diminishing, if I may say so over a period of time, because the technical folks now would be able to work with functional teams on the depth and coverage of the data, rather than making it available and looking at the technical side off it. So now they can have a a fair discussion with the functional teams on. Okay, these are refute. Other things you can look at because I know this data is available can make it usable for you, especially the time it takes for the I t. G. When graduate dashboard, Uh, that time can we utilize toe improve the quality and reliability of the data? That's yeah. See the value coming. So if you ask me to me, I see the technical people moving towards more of a technical functional role. Tools such as >>That's great. I love that saying now we can talk to data instead of just looking at it. Um Alright, Evo, I think that will finish up with one last question for you that I think you probably could speak. Thio. Given your experience, we've seen that some organizations worry about providing access to data for everyone. How do you make sure that everyone gets the same answer? >>Yes. The big data Girlfriends question thesis What I like so much about that the platform is completely online. Everything it happens online and everything is terrible. Which means, uh, in the good old days, people will do something on their laptop. Beirut at a logic to it, they were aggregated and then they put it in a power point and they will share it. But nobody knew how this happened because it all happened offline. With this approach, everything is transparent. I'm a big I love the word transparency in this. Everything is available for everybody. So you will not have a discussion anymore. About how did you get to this number or how did you get to this? So the question off getting two different answers to the same question is removed because everything happens. Transparency, online, transparent, online. And this is what I think, actually, make that question moot. Asl Long as you don't start exporting this to an offline environment to do your own thing, you are completely controlling, complete transparent. And this is why I love to share options, for example and on this is something I would really keep focusing on. Keep it online, keep it visible, keep it traceable. And there, actually, this problem then stops existing. >>Thank you, Evelyn. Cindy, That was awesome. And thank you to >>all of our presenters. I appreciate your time so much. I hope all of you at home enjoyed that as much as I did. I know a lot of you did. I was watching the chat. You know who you are. I don't think that I'm just a little bit in awe and completely inspired by where we are from a technological perspective, even outside of thoughts about it feels like we're finally at a time where we can capitalize on the promise that cloud and big data made to us so long ago. I loved getting to see Anna and James describe how you can maximize the investment both in time and money that you've already made by moving your data into a performance cloud data warehouse. It was cool to see that doubled down on with the session, with AWS seeing a direct query on Red Shift. And even with something that's has so much scale like TV shows and genres combining all of that being able to search right there Evo in Sanjiv Wow. I mean being able to combine all of those different analytics tools being able to free up these analysts who could do much more important and impactful work than just making dashboards and giving self service analytics to so many different employees. That's incredible. And then, of course, from our experts on the panel, I just think it's so fascinating to see how experts that came from industries like finance or consulting, where they saw the imperative that you needed to move to thes third party data sets enriching and organizations data. So thank you to everyone. It was fascinating. I appreciate everybody at home joining us to We're not quite done yet. Though. I'm happy to say that we after this have the product roadmap session and that we are also then going to move into hearing and being able to ask directly our speakers today and meet the expert session. So please join us for that. We'll see you there. Thank you so much again. It was really a pleasure having you.

The Spaceborne Computer | Exascale Day


 

>> Narrator: From around the globe. It's theCUBE with digital coverage of Exascale Day. Made possible by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. >> Welcome everyone to theCUBE's celebration of Exascale Day. Dr. Mark Fernandez is here. He's the HPC technology officer for the Americas at Hewlett Packard enterprise. And he's a developer of the spaceborne computer, which we're going to talk about today. Mark, welcome. It's great to see you. >> Great to be here. Thanks for having me. >> You're very welcome. So let's start with Exascale Day. It's on 10 18, of course, which is 10 to the power of 18. That's a one followed by 18 zeros. I joke all the time. It takes six commas to write out that number. (Mark laughing) But Mark, why don't we start? What's the significance of that number? >> So it's a very large number. And in general, we've been marking the progress of our computational capabilities in thousands. So exascale is a thousand times faster than where we are today. We're in an era today called the petaflop era which is 10 to the 15th. And prior to that, we were in the teraflop era, which is 10 to the 12th. I can kind of understand a 10 to the 12th and I kind of can discuss that with folks 'cause that's a trillion of something. And we know a lot of things that are in trillions, like our national debt, for example. (Dave laughing) But a billion, billion is an exascale and it will give us a thousand times more computational capability than we have in general today. >> Yeah, so when you think about going from terascale to petascale to exascale I mean, we're not talking about orders of magnitude, we're talking about a much more substantial improvement. And that's part of the reason why it's sort of takes so long to achieve these milestones. I mean, it kind of started back in the sixties and seventies and then... >> Yeah. >> We've been in the petascale now for more than a decade if I think I'm correct. >> Yeah, correct. We got there in 2007. And each of these increments is an extra comma, that's the way to remember it. So we want to add an extra comma and get to the exascale era. So yeah, like you say, we entered the current petaflop scale in 2007. Before that was the terascale, teraflop era and it was in 1997. So it took us 10 years to get that far, but it's taken us, going to take us 13 or 14 years to get to the next one. >> And we say flops, we're talking about floating point operations. And we're talking about the number of calculations that can be done in a second. I mean, talk about not being able to get your head around it, right? Is that's what talking about here? >> Correct scientists, engineers, weather forecasters, others use real numbers and real math. And that's how you want to rank those performance is based upon those real numbers times each other. And so that's why they're floating point numbers. >> When I think about supercomputers, I can't help but remember whom I consider the father of supercomputing Seymour Cray. Cray of course, is a company that Hewlett Packard Enterprise acquired. And he was kind of an eclectic fellow. I mean, maybe that's unfair but he was an interesting dude. But very committed to his goal of really building the world's fastest computers. When you look at back on the industry, how do you think about its developments over the years? >> So one of the events that stands out in my mind is I was working for the Naval Research Lab outside Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. And we were doing weather modeling. And we got a Cray supercomputer. And there was a party when we were able to run a two week prediction in under two weeks. So the scientists and engineers had the math to solve the problem, but the current computers would take longer than just sitting and waiting and looking out the window to see what the weather was like. So when we can make a two week prediction in under two weeks, there was a celebration. And that was in the eighties, early nineties. And so now you see that we get weather predictions in eight hours, four hours and your morning folks will get you down to an hour. >> I mean, if you think about the history of super computing it's really striking to consider the challenges in the efforts as we were just talking about, I mean, decade plus to get to the next level. And you see this coming to fruition now, and we're saying exascale likely 2021. So what are some of the innovations in science, in medicine or other areas you mentioned weather that'll be introduced as exascale computing is ushered in, what should people expect? >> So we kind of alluded to one and weather affects everybody, everywhere. So we can get better weather predictions, which help everybody every morning before you get ready to go to work or travel or et cetera. And again, storm predictions, hurricane predictions, flood predictions, the forest fire predictions, those type things affect everybody, everyday. Those will get improved with exascale. In terms of medicine, we're able to take, excuse me, we're able to take genetic information and attempt to map that to more drugs quicker than we have in the past. So we'll be able to have drug discovery happening much faster with an exascale system out there. And to some extent that's happening now with COVID and all the work that we're doing now. And we realize that we're struggling with these current computers to find these solutions as fast as everyone wants them. And exascale computers will help us get there much faster in the future in terms of medicine. >> Well, and of course, as you apply machine intelligence and AI and machine learning to the applications running on these supercomputers, that just takes it to another level. I mean, people used to joke about you can't predict the weather and clearly we've seen that get much, much better. Now it's going to be interesting to see with climate change. That's another wildcard variable but I'm assuming the scientists are taking that into consideration. I mean, actually been pretty accurate about the impacts of climate change, haven't they? >> Yeah, absolutely. And the climate change models will get better with exascale computers too. And hopefully we'll be able to build a confidence in the public and the politicians in those results with these better, more powerful computers. >> Yeah let's hope so. Now let's talk about the spaceborne computer and your involvement in that project. Your original spaceborne computer it went up on a SpaceX reusable rocket. Destination of course, was the international space station. Okay, so what was the genesis of that project and what was the outcome? So we were approached by a long time customer NASA Ames. And NASA Ames says its mission is to model rocket launches and space missions and return to earth. And they had the foresight to realize that their supercomputers here on earth, could not do that mission when we got to Mars. And so they wanted to plan ahead and they said, "Can you take a small part of our supercomputer today and just prove that it can work in space? And if it can't figure out what we need to do to make it work, et cetera." So that's what we did. We took identical hardware, that's present at NASA Ames. We put it on a SpaceX rocket no special preparations for it in terms of hardware or anything of that sort, no special hardening, because we want to take the latest technology just before we head to Mars with us. I tell people you wouldn't want to get in the rocket headed to Mars with a flip phone. You want to take the latest iPhone, right? And all of the computers on board, current spacecrafts are about the 2007 era that we were talking about, in that era. So we want to take something new with us. We got the spaceone computer on board. It was installed in the ceiling because in space, there's no gravity. And you can put computers in the ceiling. And we immediately made a computer run. And we produced a trillion calculations a second which got us into the teraflop range. The first teraflop in space was pretty exciting. >> Well, that's awesome. I mean, so this is the ultimate example of edge computing. >> Yes. You mentioned you wanted to see if it could work and it sounds like it did. I mean, there was obviously a long elapse time to get it up and running 'cause you have to get it up there. But it sounds like once you did, it was up and running very quickly so it did work. But what were some of the challenges that you encountered maybe some of the learnings in terms of getting it up and running? >> So it's really fascinating. Astronauts are really cool people but they're not computer scientists, right? So they see a cord, they see a place to plug it in, they plug it in and of course we're watching live on the video and you plugged it in the wrong spot. So (laughs) Mr. Astronaut, can we back up and follow the procedure more carefully and get this thing plugged in carefully. They're not computer technicians used to installing a supercomputer. So we were able to get the system packaged for the shake, rattle and roll and G-forces of launch in the SpaceX. We were able to give astronaut instructions on how to install it and get it going. And we were able to operate it here from earth and get some pretty exciting results. >> So our supercomputers are so easy to install even an astronaut can do it. I don't know. >> That's right. (both laughing) Here on earth we have what we call a customer replaceable units. And we had to replace a component. And we looked at our instructions that are tried and true here on earth for average Joe, a customer to do that and realized without gravity, we're going to have to update this procedure. And so we renamed it an astronaut replaceable unit and it worked just fine. >> Yeah, you can't really send an SE out to space to fix it, can you? >> No sir. (Dave laughing) You have to have very careful instructions for these guys but they're great. It worked out wonderfully. >> That's awesome. Let's talk about spaceborne two. Now that's on schedule to go back to the ISS next year. What are you trying to accomplish this time? >> So in retrospect, spaceborne one was a proof of concept. Can we package it up to fit on SpaceX? Can we get the astronauts to install it? And can we operate it from earth? And if so, how long will it last? And do we get the right answers? 100% mission success on that. Now spaceborne two is, we're going to release it to the community of scientists, engineers and space explorers and say, "Hey this thing is rock solid, it's proven. Come use it to improve your edge computing." We'd like to preserve the network downlink bandwidth for all that imagery, all that genetic data, all that other data and process it on the edge as the whole world is moving to now. Don't move the data, let's compute at the edge and that's what we're going to do with spaceborne two. And so what's your expectation for how long the project is going to last? What does success look like in your mind? So spaceborne one was given a one year mission just to see if we could do it but the idea then was planted it's going to take about three years to get to Mars and back. So if you're successful, let's see if this computer can last three years. And so we're going up February 1st, if we go on schedule and we'll be up two to three years and as long as it works, we'll keep computing and computing on the edge. >> That's amazing. I mean, I feel like, when I started the industry, it was almost like there was a renaissance in supercomputing. You certainly had Cray and you had all these other companies, you remember thinking machines and convex spun out tried to do a mini supercomputer. And you had, really a lot of venture capital and then things got quiet for a while. I feel like now with all this big data and AI, we're seeing in all the use cases that you talked about, we're seeing another renaissance in supercomputing. I wonder if you could give us your final thoughts. >> Yeah, absolutely. So we've got the generic like you said, floating point operations. We've now got specialized image processing processors and we have specialized graphics processing units, GPUs. So all of the scientists and engineers are looking at these specialized components and bringing them together to solve their missions at the edge faster than ever before. So there's heterogeneity of computing is coming together to make humanity a better place. And how are you going to celebrate Exascale Day? You got to special cocktail you going to shake up or what are you going to do? It's five o'clock somewhere on 10 18, and I'm a Parrothead fan. So I'll probably have a margarita. There you go all right. Well Mark, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on Exascale Day. Congratulations on your next project, the spaceborne two. Really appreciate you coming to theCUBE. Thank you very much I've enjoyed it. All right, you're really welcome. And thank you for watching everybody. Keep it right there. This is Dave Vellante for thecUBE. We're celebrating Exascale Day. We'll be right back. (upbeat music)

Computer Science & Space Exploration | Exascale Day


 

>>from around the globe. It's the Q. With digital coverage >>of exa scale day made possible by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. We're back at the celebration of Exa Scale Day. This is Dave Volant, and I'm pleased to welcome to great guests Brian Dance Berries Here. Here's what The ISS Program Science office at the Johnson Space Center. And Dr Mark Fernandez is back. He's the Americas HPC technology officer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Gentlemen, welcome. >>Thank you. Yeah, >>well, thanks for coming on. And, Mark, Good to see you again. And, Brian, I wonder if we could start with you and talk a little bit about your role. A T. I s s program Science office as a scientist. What's happening these days? What are you working on? >>Well, it's been my privilege the last few years to be working in the, uh, research integration area of of the space station office. And that's where we're looking at all of the different sponsors NASA, the other international partners, all the sponsors within NASA, and, uh, prioritizing what research gets to go up to station. What research gets conducted in that regard. And to give you a feel for the magnitude of the task, but we're coming up now on November 2nd for the 20th anniversary of continuous human presence on station. So we've been a space faring society now for coming up on 20 years, and I would like to point out because, you know, as an old guy myself, it impresses me. That's, you know, that's 25% of the US population. Everybody under the age of 20 has never had a moment when they were alive and we didn't have people living and working in space. So Okay, I got off on a tangent there. We'll move on in that 20 years we've done 3000 experiments on station and the station has really made ah, miraculously sort of evolution from, ah, basic platform, what is now really fully functioning national lab up there with, um, commercially run research facilities all the time. I think you can think of it as the world's largest satellite bus. We have, you know, four or five instruments looking down, measuring all kinds of things in the atmosphere during Earth observation data, looking out, doing astrophysics, research, measuring cosmic rays, X ray observatory, all kinds of things, plus inside the station you've got racks and racks of experiments going on typically scores, you know, if not more than 50 experiments going on at any one time. So, you know, the topic of this event is really important. Doesn't NASA, you know, data transmission Up and down, all of the cameras going on on on station the experiments. Um, you know, one of one of those astrophysics observatory's you know, it has collected over 15 billion um uh, impact data of cosmic rays. And so the massive amounts of data that that needs to be collected and transferred for all of these experiments to go on really hits to the core. And I'm glad I'm able toe be here and and speak with you today on this. This topic. >>Well, thank you for that, Bryan. A baby boomer, right? Grew up with the national pride of the moon landing. And of course, we've we've seen we saw the space shuttle. We've seen international collaboration, and it's just always been something, you know, part of our lives. So thank you for the great work that you guys were doing their mark. You and I had a great discussion about exa scale and kind of what it means for society and some of the innovations that we could maybe expect over the coming years. Now I wonder if you could talk about some of the collaboration between what you guys were doing and Brian's team. >>Uh, yeah, so yes, indeed. Thank you for having me early. Appreciate it. That was a great introduction. Brian, Uh, I'm the principal investigator on Space Born computer, too. And as the two implies, where there was one before it. And so we worked with Bryant and his team extensively over the past few years again high performance computing on board the International Space Station. Brian mentioned the thousands of experiments that have been done to date and that there are currently 50 orm or going on at any one time. And those experiments collect data. And up until recently, you've had to transmit that data down to Earth for processing. And that's a significant amount of bandwidth. Yeah, so with baseball and computer to we're inviting hello developers and others to take advantage of that onboard computational capability you mentioned exa scale. We plan to get the extra scale next year. We're currently in the era that's called PETA scale on. We've been in the past scale era since 2000 and seven, so it's taken us a while to make it that next lead. Well, 10 years after Earth had a PETA scale system in 2017 were able to put ah teraflop system on the International space station to prove that we could do a trillion calculations a second in space. That's where the data is originating. That's where it might be best to process it. So we want to be able to take those capabilities with us. And with H. P. E. Acting as a wonderful partner with Brian and NASA and the space station, we think we're able to do that for many of these experiments. >>It's mind boggling you were talking about. I was talking about the moon landing earlier and the limited power of computing power. Now we've got, you know, water, cool supercomputers in space. I'm interested. I'd love to explore this notion of private industry developing space capable computers. I think it's an interesting model where you have computer companies can repurpose technology that they're selling obviously greater scale for space exploration and apply that supercomputing technology instead of having government fund, proprietary purpose built systems that air. Essentially, you use case, if you will. So, Brian, what are the benefits of that model? The perhaps you wouldn't achieve with governments or maybe contractors, you know, kind of building these proprietary systems. >>Well, first of all, you know, any any tool, your using any, any new technology that has, you know, multiple users is going to mature quicker. You're gonna have, you know, greater features, greater capabilities, you know, not even talking about computers. Anything you're doing. So moving from, you know, governor government is a single, um, you know, user to off the shelf type products gives you that opportunity to have things that have been proven, have the technology is fully matured. Now, what had to happen is we had to mature the space station so that we had a platform where we could test these things and make sure they're gonna work in the high radiation environments, you know, And they're gonna be reliable, because first, you've got to make sure that that safety and reliability or taken care of so that that's that's why in the space program you're gonna you're gonna be behind the times in terms of the computing power of the equipment up there because, first of all and foremost, you needed to make sure that it was reliable and say, Now, my undergraduate degree was in aerospace engineering and what we care about is aerospace engineers is how heavy is it, how big and bulky is it because you know it z expensive? You know, every pound I once visited Gulfstream Aerospace, and they would pay their employees $1000 that they could come up with a way saving £1 in building that aircraft. That means you have more capacity for flying. It's on the orders of magnitude. More important to do that when you're taking payloads to space. So you know, particularly with space born computer, the opportunity there to use software and and check the reliability that way, Uh, without having to make the computer, you know, radiation resistance, if you will, with heavy, you know, bulky, um, packaging to protect it from that radiation is a really important thing, and it's gonna be a huge advantage moving forward as we go to the moon and on to Mars. >>Yeah, that's interesting. I mean, your point about cots commercial off the shelf technology. I mean, that's something that obviously governments have wanted to leverage for a long, long time for many, many decades. But but But Mark the issue was always the is. Brian was just saying the very stringent and difficult requirements of space. Well, you're obviously with space Born one. You got to the point where you had visibility of the economics made sense. It made commercial sense for companies like Hewlett Packard Enterprise. And now we've sort of closed that gap to the point where you're sort of now on that innovation curve. What if you could talk about that a little bit? >>Yeah, absolutely. Brian has some excellent points, you know, he said, anything we do today and requires computers, and that's absolutely correct. So I tell people that when you go to the moon and when you go to the Mars, you probably want to go with the iPhone 10 or 11 and not a flip phone. So before space born was sent up, you went with 2000 early two thousands computing technology there which, like you said many of the people born today weren't even around when the space station began and has been occupied so they don't even know how to program or use that type of computing. Power was based on one. We sent the exact same products that we were shipping to customers today, so they are current state of the art, and we had a mandate. Don't touch the hardware, have all the protection that you can via software. So that's what we've done. We've got several philosophical ways to do that. We've implemented those in software. They've been successful improving in the space for one, and now it's space born to. We're going to begin the experiments so that the rest of the community so that the rest of the community can figure out that it is economically viable, and it will accelerate their research and progress in space. I'm most excited about that. Every venture into space as Brian mentioned will require some computational capability, and HP has figured out that the economics air there we need to bring the customers through space ball into in order for them to learn that we are reliable but current state of the art, and that we could benefit them and all of humanity. >>Guys, I wanna ask you kind of a two part question. And, Brian, I'll start with you and it z somewhat philosophical. Uh, I mean, my understanding was and I want to say this was probably around the time of the Bush administration w two on and maybe certainly before that, but as technology progress, there was a debate about all right, Should we put our resource is on moon because of the proximity to Earth? Or should we, you know, go where no man has gone before and or woman and get to Mars? Where What's the thinking today, Brian? On that? That balance between Moon and Mars? >>Well, you know, our plans today are are to get back to the moon by 2024. That's the Artemus program. Uh, it's exciting. It makes sense from, you know, an engineering standpoint. You take, you know, you take baby steps as you continue to move forward. And so you have that opportunity, um, to to learn while you're still, you know, relatively close to home. You can get there in days, not months. If you're going to Mars, for example, toe have everything line up properly. You're looking at a multi year mission you know, it may take you nine months to get there. Then you have to wait for the Earth and Mars to get back in the right position to come back on that same kind of trajectory. So you have toe be there for more than a year before you can turn around and come back. So, you know, he was talking about the computing power. You know, right now that the beautiful thing about the space station is, it's right there. It's it's orbiting above us. It's only 250 miles away. Uh, so you can test out all of these technologies. You can rely on the ground to keep track of systems. There's not that much of a delay in terms of telemetry coming back. But as you get to the moon and then definitely is, you get get out to Mars. You know, there are enough minutes delay out there that you've got to take the computing power with you. You've got to take everything you need to be able to make those decisions you need to make because there's not time to, um, you know, get that information back on the ground, get back get it back to Earth, have people analyze the situation and then tell you what the next step is to do. That may be too late. So you've got to think the computing power with you. >>So extra scale bring some new possibilities. Both both for, you know, the moon and Mars. I know Space Born one did some simulations relative. Tomorrow we'll talk about that. But But, Brian, what are the things that you hope to get out of excess scale computing that maybe you couldn't do with previous generations? >>Well, you know, you know, market on a key point. You know, bandwidth up and down is, of course, always a limitation. In the more computing data analysis you can do on site, the more efficient you could be with parsing out that that bandwidth and to give you ah, feel for just that kind of think about those those observatory's earth observing and an astronomical I was talking about collecting data. Think about the hours of video that are being recorded daily as the astronauts work on various things to document what they're doing. They many of the biological experiments, one of the key key pieces of data that's coming back. Is that video of the the microbes growing or the plants growing or whatever fluid physics experiments going on? We do a lot of colloids research, which is suspended particles inside ah liquid. And that, of course, high speed video. Is he Thio doing that kind of research? Right now? We've got something called the I s s experience going on in there, which is basically recording and will eventually put out a syriza of basically a movie on virtual reality recording. That kind of data is so huge when you have a 360 degree camera up there recording all of that data, great virtual reality, they There's still a lot of times bringing that back on higher hard drives when the space six vehicles come back to the Earth. That's a lot of data going on. We recorded videos all the time, tremendous amount of bandwidth going on. And as you get to the moon and as you get further out, you can a man imagine how much more limiting that bandwidth it. >>Yeah, We used to joke in the old mainframe days that the fastest way to get data from point a to Point B was called C Tam, the Chevy truck access method. Just load >>up a >>truck, whatever it was, tapes or hard drive. So eso and mark, of course space born to was coming on. Spaceport one really was a pilot, but it proved that the commercial computers could actually work for long durations in space, and the economics were feasible. Thinking about, you know, future missions and space born to What are you hoping to accomplish? >>I'm hoping to bring. I'm hoping to bring that success from space born one to the rest of the community with space born to so that they can realize they can do. They're processing at the edge. The purpose of exploration is insight, not data collection. So all of these experiments begin with data collection. Whether that's videos or samples are mold growing, etcetera, collecting that data, we must process it to turn it into information and insight. And the faster we can do that, the faster we get. Our results and the better things are. I often talk Thio College in high school and sometimes grammar school students about this need to process at the edge and how the communication issues can prevent you from doing that. For example, many of us remember the communications with the moon. The moon is about 250,000 miles away, if I remember correctly, and the speed of light is 186,000 miles a second. So even if the speed of light it takes more than a second for the communications to get to the moon and back. So I can remember being stressed out when Houston will to make a statement. And we were wondering if the astronauts could answer Well, they answered as soon as possible. But that 1 to 2 second delay that was natural was what drove us crazy, which made us nervous. We were worried about them in the success of the mission. So Mars is millions of miles away. So flip it around. If you're a Mars explorer and you look out the window and there's a big red cloud coming at you that looks like a tornado and you might want to do some Mars dust storm modeling right then and there to figure out what's the safest thing to do. You don't have the time literally get that back to earth have been processing and get you the answer back. You've got to take those computational capabilities with you. And we're hoping that of these 52 thousands of experiments that are on board, the SS can show that in order to better accomplish their missions on the moon. And Omar, >>I'm so glad you brought that up because I was gonna ask you guys in the commercial world everybody talks about real time. Of course, we talk about the real time edge and AI influencing and and the time value of data I was gonna ask, you know, the real time, Nous, How do you handle that? I think Mark, you just answered that. But at the same time, people will say, you know, the commercial would like, for instance, in advertising. You know, the joke the best. It's not kind of a joke, but the best minds of our generation tryingto get people to click on ads. And it's somewhat true, unfortunately, but at any rate, the value of data diminishes over time. I would imagine in space exploration where where you're dealing and things like light years, that actually there's quite a bit of value in the historical data. But, Mark, you just You just gave a great example of where you need real time, compute capabilities on the ground. But but But, Brian, I wonder if I could ask you the value of this historic historical data, as you just described collecting so much data. Are you? Do you see that the value of that data actually persists over time, you could go back with better modeling and better a i and computing and actually learn from all that data. What are your thoughts on that, Brian? >>Definitely. I think the answer is yes to that. And, you know, as part of the evolution from from basically a platform to a station, we're also learning to make use of the experiments in the data that we have there. NASA has set up. Um, you know, unopened data access sites for some of our physical science experiments that taking place there and and gene lab for looking at some of the biological genomic experiments that have gone on. And I've seen papers already beginning to be generated not from the original experimenters and principal investigators, but from that data set that has been collected. And, you know, when you're sending something up to space and it to the space station and volume for cargo is so limited, you want to get the most you can out of that. So you you want to be is efficient as possible. And one of the ways you do that is you collect. You take these earth observing, uh, instruments. Then you take that data. And, sure, the principal investigators air using it for the key thing that they designed it for. But if that data is available, others will come along and make use of it in different ways. >>Yeah, So I wanna remind the audience and these these these air supercomputers, the space born computers, they're they're solar powered, obviously, and and they're mounted overhead, right? Is that is that correct? >>Yeah. Yes. Space borne computer was mounted in the overhead. I jokingly say that as soon as someone could figure out how to get a data center in orbit, they will have a 50 per cent denser data station that we could have down here instead of two robes side by side. You can also have one overhead on. The power is free. If you can drive it off a solar, and the cooling is free because it's pretty cold out there in space, so it's gonna be very efficient. Uh, space borne computer is the most energy efficient computer in existence. Uh, free electricity and free cooling. And now we're offering free cycles through all the experimenters on goal >>Eso Space born one exceeded its mission timeframe. You were able to run as it was mentioned before some simulations for future Mars missions. And, um and you talked a little bit about what you want to get out of, uh, space born to. I mean, are there other, like, wish list items, bucket bucket list items that people are talking about? >>Yeah, two of them. And these air kind of hypothetical. And Brian kind of alluded to them. Uh, one is having the data on board. So an example that halo developers talk to us about is Hey, I'm on Mars and I see this mold growing on my potatoes. That's not good. So let me let me sample that mold, do a gene sequencing, and then I've got stored all the historical data on space borne computer of all the bad molds out there and let me do a comparison right then and there before I have dinner with my fried potato. So that's that's one. That's very interesting. A second one closely related to it is we have offered up the storage on space borne computer to for all of your raw data that we process. So, Mr Scientist, if if you need the raw data and you need it now, of course, you can have it sent down. But if you don't let us just hold it there as long as they have space. And when we returned to Earth like you mentioned, Patrick will ship that solid state disk back to them so they could have a new person, but again, reserving that network bandwidth, uh, keeping all that raw data available for the entire duration of the mission so that it may have value later on. >>Great. Thank you for that. I want to end on just sort of talking about come back to the collaboration between I S s National Labs and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and you've got your inviting project ideas using space Bourne to during the upcoming mission. Maybe you could talk about what that's about, and we have A We have a graphic we're gonna put up on DSM information that you can you can access. But please, mark share with us what you're planning there. >>So again, the collaboration has been outstanding. There. There's been a mention off How much savings is, uh, if you can reduce the weight by a pound. Well, our partners ice s national lab and NASA have taken on that cost of delivering baseball in computer to the international space station as part of their collaboration and powering and cooling us and giving us the technical support in return on our side, we're offering up space borne computer to for all the onboard experiments and all those that think they might be wanting doing experiments on space born on the S s in the future to take advantage of that. So we're very, very excited about that. >>Yeah, and you could go toe just email space born at hp dot com on just float some ideas. I'm sure at some point there'll be a website so you can email them or you can email me david dot volonte at at silicon angle dot com and I'll shoot you that that email one or that website once we get it. But, Brian, I wanna end with you. You've been so gracious with your time. Uh, yeah. Give us your final thoughts on on exa scale. Maybe how you're celebrating exa scale day? I was joking with Mark. Maybe we got a special exa scale drink for 10. 18 but, uh, what's your final thoughts, Brian? >>Uh, I'm going to digress just a little bit. I think I think I have a unique perspective to celebrate eggs a scale day because as an undergraduate student, I was interning at Langley Research Center in the wind tunnels and the wind tunnel. I was then, um, they they were very excited that they had a new state of the art giant room size computer to take that data we way worked on unsteady, um, aerodynamic forces. So you need a lot of computation, and you need to be ableto take data at a high bandwidth. To be able to do that, they'd always, you know, run their their wind tunnel for four or five hours. Almost the whole shift. Like that data and maybe a week later, been ableto look at the data to decide if they got what they were looking for? Well, at the time in the in the early eighties, this is definitely the before times that I got there. They had they had that computer in place. Yes, it was a punchcard computer. It was the one time in my life I got to put my hands on the punch cards and was told not to drop them there. Any trouble if I did that. But I was able thio immediately after, uh, actually, during their run, take that data, reduce it down, grabbed my colored pencils and graph paper and graph out coefficient lift coefficient of drag. Other things that they were measuring. Take it back to them. And they were so excited to have data two hours after they had taken it analyzed and looked at it just pickled them. Think that they could make decisions now on what they wanted to do for their next run. Well, we've come a long way since then. You know, extra scale day really, really emphasizes that point, you know? So it really brings it home to me. Yeah. >>Please, no, please carry on. >>Well, I was just gonna say, you know, you talked about the opportunities that that space borne computer provides and and Mark mentioned our colleagues at the I S s national lab. You know, um, the space station has been declared a national laboratory, and so about half of the, uh, capabilities we have for doing research is a portion to the national lab so that commercial entities so that HP can can do these sorts of projects and universities can access station and and other government agencies. And then NASA can focus in on those things we want to do purely to push our exploration programs. So the opportunities to take advantage of that are there marks opening up the door for a lot of opportunities. But others can just Google S s national laboratory and find some information on how to get in the way. Mark did originally using s national lab to maybe get a good experiment up there. >>Well, it's just astounding to see the progress that this industry is made when you go back and look, you know, the early days of supercomputing to imagine that they actually can be space born is just tremendous. Not only the impacts that it can have on Space six exploration, but also society in general. Mark Wayne talked about that. Guys, thanks so much for coming on the Cube and celebrating Exa scale day and helping expand the community. Great work. And, uh, thank you very much for all that you guys dio >>Thank you very much for having me on and everybody out there. Let's get the XO scale as quick as we can. Appreciate everything you all are >>doing. Let's do it. >>I've got a I've got a similar story. Humanity saw the first trillion calculations per second. Like I said in 1997. And it was over 100 racks of computer equipment. Well, space borne one is less than fourth of Iraq in only 20 years. So I'm gonna be celebrating exa scale day in anticipation off exa scale computers on earth and soon following within the national lab that exists in 20 plus years And being on Mars. >>That's awesome. That mark. Thank you for that. And and thank you for watching everybody. We're celebrating Exa scale day with the community. The supercomputing community on the Cube Right back

SUMMARY :

It's the Q. With digital coverage We're back at the celebration of Exa Scale Day. Thank you. And, Mark, Good to see you again. And to give you a feel for the magnitude of the task, of the collaboration between what you guys were doing and Brian's team. developers and others to take advantage of that onboard computational capability you with governments or maybe contractors, you know, kind of building these proprietary off the shelf type products gives you that opportunity to have things that have been proven, have the technology You got to the point where you had visibility of the economics made sense. So I tell people that when you go to the moon Or should we, you know, go where no man has gone before and or woman and You've got to take everything you need to be able to make those decisions you need to make because there's not time to, for, you know, the moon and Mars. the more efficient you could be with parsing out that that bandwidth and to give you ah, B was called C Tam, the Chevy truck access method. future missions and space born to What are you hoping to accomplish? get that back to earth have been processing and get you the answer back. the time value of data I was gonna ask, you know, the real time, And one of the ways you do that is you collect. If you can drive it off a solar, and the cooling is free because it's pretty cold about what you want to get out of, uh, space born to. So, Mr Scientist, if if you need the raw data and you need it now, that's about, and we have A We have a graphic we're gonna put up on DSM information that you can is, uh, if you can reduce the weight by a pound. so you can email them or you can email me david dot volonte at at silicon angle dot com and I'll shoot you that state of the art giant room size computer to take that data we way Well, I was just gonna say, you know, you talked about the opportunities that that space borne computer provides And, uh, thank you very much for all that you guys dio Thank you very much for having me on and everybody out there. Let's do it. Humanity saw the first trillion calculations And and thank you for watching everybody.

Session 6 Industry Success in Developing Cybersecurity-Space Resources


 

>>from around the globe. It's the Cube covering space and cybersecurity. Symposium 2020 hosted by Cal Poly >>Oven. Welcome back to the Space and Cyber Security Symposium. 2020 I'm John for your host with the Cuban silicon angle, along with Cal Poly, representing a great session here on industry success in developing space and cybersecurity. Resource is Got a great lineup. Brigadier General Steve Hotel, whose are also known as Bucky, is Call Sign director of Space Portfolio Defense Innovation Unit. Preston Miller, chief information security officer at JPL, NASA and Major General retired Clint Crozier, director of aerospace and satellite solutions at Amazon Web services, also known as a W s. Gentlemen, thank you for for joining me today. So the purpose of this session is to spend the next hour talking about the future of workforce talent. Um, skills needed and we're gonna dig into it. And Spaces is an exciting intersection of so many awesome disciplines. It's not just get a degree, go into a track ladder up and get promoted. Do those things. It's much different now. Love to get your perspectives, each of you will have an opening statement and we will start with the Brigadier General Steve Hotel. Right? >>Thank you very much. The Defense Innovation Unit was created in 2015 by then Secretary of Defense Ash Carter. To accomplish three things. One is to accelerate the adoption of commercial technology into the Department of Defense so that we can transform and keep our most relevant capabilities relevant. And also to build what we call now called the national Security Innovation Base, which is inclusive all the traditional defense companies, plus the commercial companies that may not necessarily work with focus exclusively on defense but could contribute to our national security and interesting ways. Um, this is such an exciting time Azul here from our other speakers about space on and I can't, uh I'm really excited to be here today to be able to share a little bit of our insight on the subject. >>Thank you very much. Precedent. Miller, Chief information security officer, Jet Propulsion Lab, NASA, Your opening statement. >>Hey, thank you for having me. I would like to start off by providing just a little bit of context of what brings us. Brings us together to talk about this exciting topic for space workforce. Had we've seen In recent years there's been there's been a trend towards expanding our space exploration and the space systems that offer the great things that we see in today's world like GPS. Um, but a lot of that has come with some Asian infrastructure and technology, and what we're seeing as we go towards our next generation expects of inspiration is that we now want to ensure that were secured on all levels. And there's an acknowledgement that our space systems are just a susceptible to cyber attacks as our terrestrial assistance. We've seen a recent space, uh, policy Directive five come out from our administration, that that details exactly how we should be looking at the cyber principle for our space systems, and we want to prevent. We want to prevent a few things as a result of that of these principles. Spoofing and jamming of our space systems are not authorized commands being sent to those space systems, lots of positive control of our space vehicles on lots of mission data. We also acknowledge that there's a couple of frameworks we wanna adopt across the board of our space systems levers and things like our nice miss cybersecurity frameworks. eso what has been a challenge in the past adopted somebody Cyber principles in space systems, where there simply has been a skill gap in a knowledge gap. We hire our space engineers to do a few things. Very well designed space systems, the ploy space systems and engineer space systems, often cybersecurity is seen as a after thought and certainly hasn't been a line item and in any budget for our spaces in racing. Uh, in the past in recent years, the dynamic started to change. We're now now integrating cyber principles at the onset of development of these life cycle of space. Systems were also taking a hard look of how we train the next generation of engineers to be both adequate. Space engineers, space system engineers and a cyber engineers, as a result to Mrs success on DWI, also are taking a hard look at What do we mean when we talk about holistic risk management for our space assistance, Traditionally risk management and missing insurance for space systems? I've really revolved around quality control, but now, in recent years we've started to adopt principles that takes cyber risk into account, So this is a really exciting topic for me. It's something that I'm fortunate to work with and live with every day. I'm really excited to get into this discussion with my other panel members. Thank you. >>You Preston. Great insight there. Looking forward. Thio chatting further. Um, Clint Closure with a W. S now heading up. A director of aerospace and satellite Solutions, formerly Major General, Your opening statement. >>Thanks, John. I really appreciate that introduction and really appreciate the opportunity to be here in the Space and Cybersecurity Symposium. And thanks to Cal Poly for putting it together, you know, I can't help, but as I think to Cal Poly there on the central California coast, San Luis Obispo, California I can't help but to think back in this park quickly. I spent two years of my life as a launch squadron commander at Vandenberg Air Force Base, about an hour south of Cal Poly launching rockets, putting satellites in orbit for the national intelligence community and so some really fond memories of the Central California coast. I couldn't agree more with the theme of our symposium this week. The space and cyber security we've all come to know over the last decade. How critical spaces to the world, whether it's for national security intelligence, whether it's whether communications, maritime, agriculture, development or a whole host of other things, economic and financial transactions. But I would make the case that I think most of your listeners would agree we won't have space without cybersecurity. In other words, if we can't guaranteed cybersecurity, all those benefits that we get from space may not be there. Preston in a moment ago that all the threats that have come across in the terrestrial world, whether it be hacking or malware or ransomware or are simple network attacks, we're seeing all those migrate to space to. And so it's a really important issue that we have to pay attention to. I also want to applaud Cow Pauling. They've got some really important initiatives. The conference here, in our particular panel, is about developing the next generation of space and cyber workers, and and Cal Poly has two important programs. One is the digital transformation hub, and the other is space data solutions, both of which, I'm happy to say, are in partnership with a W. S. But these were important programs where Cal Poly looks to try to develop the next generation of space and cyber leaders. And I would encourage you if you're interested in that toe. Look up the program because that could be very valuable is well, I'm relatively new to the AWS team and I'm really happy Thio team, as John you said recently retired from the U. S. Air Force and standing up the U. S. Space force. But the reason that I mentioned that as the director of the aerospace and satellite team is again it's in perfect harmony with the theme today. You know, we've recognized that space is critically important and that cyber security is critically important and that's been a W s vision as well. In fact, a W s understands how important the space domain is and coupled with the fact that AWS is well known that at a W s security is job zero and stolen a couple of those to fax A. W. S was looking to put together a team the aerospace and satellite team that focus solely and exclusively every single day on technical innovation in space and more security for the space domain through the cloud and our offerings there. So we're really excited to reimagine agree, envision what space networks and architectures could look like when they're born on the cloud. So that's important. You know, talk about workforce here in just a moment, but but I'll give you just a quick sneak. We at AWS have also recognized the gap in the projected workforce, as Preston mentioned, Um, depending on the projection that you look at, you know, most projections tell us that the demand for highly trained cyber cyber security cloud practitioners in the future outweighs what we think is going to be the supply. And so a ws has leaned into that in a number of ways that we're gonna talk about the next segment. I know. But with our workforce transformation, where we've tried to train free of charge not just a W s workers but more importantly, our customers workers. It s a W s we obsessed over the customer. And so we've provided free training toe over 7000 people this year alone toe bring their cloud security and cyber security skills up to where they will be able to fully leverage into the new workforce. So we're really happy about that too? I'm glad Preston raised SPD five space policy Directive five. I think it's gonna have a fundamental impact on the space and cyber industry. Uh, now full disclosure with that said, You know, I'm kind of a big fan of space policy directives, ESPN, Or was the space policy directive that directed to stand up of the U. S. Space Force and I spent the last 18 months of my life as the lead planner and architect for standing up the U. S. Space force. But with that said, I think when we look back a decade from now, we're going to see that s p d five will have as much of an impact in a positive way as I think SPD for on the stand up of the space Force have already done so. So I'll leave it there, but really look forward to the dialogue and discussion. >>Thank you, gentlemen. Clint, I just wanna say thank you for all your hard work and the team and the people who were involved in standing up Space force. Um, it is totally new. It's a game changer. It's modern, is needed. And there's benefits on potential challenges and opportunities that are gonna be there, so thank you very much for doing that. I personally am excited. I know a lot of people are excited for what the space force is today and what it could become. Thank you very much. >>Yeah, Thanks. >>Okay, So >>with >>that, let me give just jump in because, you know, as you're talking about space force and cybersecurity and you spend your time at Vanderburgh launching stuff into space, that's very technical. Is operation okay? I mean, it's complex in and of itself, but if you think about like, what's going on beyond in space is a lot of commercial aspect. So I'm thinking, you know, launching stuff into space on one side of my brain and the other side of brain, I'm thinking like air travel. You know, all the logistics and the rules of the road and air traffic control and all the communications and all the technology and policy and, you >>know, landing. >>So, Major General Clint, what's your take on this? Because this is not easy. It's not just one thing that speaks to the diversity of workforce needs. What's your reaction to that? >>Yeah. I mean, your observation is right on. We're seeing a real boom in the space and aerospace industry. For all the good reasons we talked about, we're recognizing all the value space from again economic prosperity to exploration to being ableto, you know, improve agriculture and in weather and all those sorts of things that we understand from space. So what I'm really excited about is we're seeing this this blossom of space companies that we sort of referred to his new space. You know, it used to be that really only large governments like the United States and a handful of others could operate in the space domain today and largely infused because of the technological innovation that have come with Cyber and Cyrus Space and even the cloud we're seeing more and more companies, capabilities, countries, all that have the ability, you know. Even a well funded university today can put a cube sat in orbit, and Cal Poly is working on some of those too, by the way, and so it's really expanded the number of people that benefits the activity in space and again, that's why it's so critically important because we become more and more reliant and we will become more and more reliant on those capabilities that we have to protect him. It's fundamental that we do. So, >>Bucky, I want you to weigh in on this because actually, you you've flown. Uh, I got a call sign which I love interviewing people. Anyone who's a call sign is cool in my book. So, Bucky, I want you to react to that because that's outside of the technology, you know, flying in space. There's >>no >>rule. I mean, is there like a rules? I mean, what's the rules of the road? I mean, state of the right. I mean, what I mean, what what's going? What's gonna have toe happen? Okay, just logistically. >>Well, this is very important because, uh and I've I've had access thio information space derived information for most of my flying career. But the amount of information that we need operate effectively in the 21st century is much greater than Thanet has been in the past. Let me describe the environment s so you can appreciate a little bit more what our challenges are. Where, from a space perspective, we're going to see a new exponential increase in the number of systems that could be satellites. Uh, users and applications, right? And so eso we're going we're growing rapidly into an environment where it's no longer practical to just simply evolved or operate on a perimeter security model. We and with this and as I was brought up previously, we're gonna try to bring in MAWR commercial capabilities. There is a tremendous benefit with increasing the diversity of sources of information. We use it right now. The military relies very heavily on commercial SAT com. We have our military capabilities, but the commercial capabilities give us capacity that we need and we can. We can vary that over time. The same will be true for remote sensing for other broadband communications capabilities on doing other interesting effects. Also, in the modern era, we doom or operations with our friends and allies, our regional partners all around the world, in order to really improve our interoperability and have rapid exchange of information, commercial information, sources and capabilities provides the best means of doing that. So that so that the imperative is very important and what all this describes if you want to put one word on it. ISS, we're involving into ah hybrid space architectures where it's gonna be imperative that we protect the integrity of information and the cyber security of the network for the things most important to us from a national security standpoint. But we have to have the rules that that allows us to freely exchange information rapidly and in a way that that we can guarantee that the right users are getting the right information at the right. >>We're gonna come back to that on the skill set and opportunities for people driving. That's just looking. There's so much opportunity. Preston, I want you to react to this. I interviewed General Keith Alexander last year. He formerly ran Cyber Command. Um, now he's building Cyber Security Technologies, and his whole thesis is you have to share. So the question is, how do you share and lock stuff down at the same time when you have ah, multi sided marketplace in space? You know, suppliers, users, systems. This is a huge security challenge. What's your reaction to this? Because we're intersecting all these things space and cybersecurity. It's just not easy. What's your reaction? >>Absolutely, Absolutely. And what I would say in response to that first would be that security really needs to be baked into the onset of how we develop and implement and deploy our space systems. Um, there's there's always going to be the need to collect and share data across multiple entities, particularly when we're changing scientific data with our mission partners. Eso with that necessitates that we have a security view from the onset, right? We have a system spaces, and they're designed to share information across the world. How do we make sure that those, uh, those other those communication channels so secure, free from interception free from disruption? So they're really done? That necessitates of our space leaders in our cyber leaders to be joining the hip about how to secure our space systems, and the communications there in Clinton brought up a really good point of. And then I'm gonna elaborate on a little bit, just toe invite a little bit more context and talk about some the complexities and challenges we face with this advent of new space and and all of our great commercial partners coming into therefore way, that's going to present a very significant supply chain risk management problems that we have to get our hands around as well. But we have these manufacturers developing these highly specialized components for the space instruments, Um, that as it stands right now, it's very little oversight And how those things air produced, manufactured, put into the space systems communication channels that they use ports protocols that they use to communicate. And that's gonna be a significant challenge for us to get get our hands around. So again, cybersecurity being brought in. And the very onset of these development thes thes decisions in these life cycles was certainly put us in a best better position to secure that data in our in our space missions. >>Yeah, E just pick up on that. You don't mind? Preston made such a really good point there. But you have to bake security in up front, and you know there's a challenge and there's an opportunity, you know, with a lot of our systems today. It was built in a pre cyber security environment, especially our government systems that were built, you know, in many cases 10 years ago, 15 years ago are still on orbit today, and we're thankful that they are. But as we look at this new environment and we understand the threats, if we bake cybersecurity in upfront weaken balance that open application versus the risk a long as we do it up front. And you know, that's one of the reasons that our company developed what we call govcloud, which is a secure cloud, that we use thio to manage data that our customers who want to do work with the federal government or other governments or the national security apparatus. They can operate in that space with the built in and baked in cybersecurity protocols. We have a secret region that both can handle secret and top secret information for the same reasons. But when you bake security into the upfront applications, that really allows you to balance that risk between making it available and accessible in sort of an open architecture way. But being sure that it's protected through things like ITAR certifications and fed ramp, uh, another ice T certifications that we have in place. So that's just a really important point. >>Let's stay high level for a man. You mentioned a little bit of those those govcloud, which made me think about you know, the tactical edge in the military analogy, but also with space similar theater. It's just another theater and you want to stand stuff up. Whether it's communications and have facilities, you gotta do it rapidly, and you gotta do it in a very agile, secure, I high availability secure way. So it's not the old waterfall planning. You gotta be fast is different. Cloud does things different? How do you talk to the young people out there, whether it's apparent with with kids in elementary and middle school to high school, college grad level or someone in the workforce? Because there are no previous jobs, that kind of map to the needs out there because you're talking about new skills, you could be an archaeologist and be the best cyber security guru on the planet. You don't have to have that. There's no degree for what, what we're talking about here. This >>is >>the big confusion around education. I mean, you gotta you like math and you could code you can Anything who wants to comment on that? Because I think this >>is the core issue. I'll say there are more and more programs growing around that educational need, and I could talk about a few things we're doing to, but I just wanna make an observation about what you just said about the need. And how do you get kids involved and interested? Interestingly, I think it's already happening, right. The good news. We're already developing that affinity. My four year old granddaughter can walk over, pick up my iPad, turn it on. Somehow she knows my account information, gets into my account, pulls up in application, starts playing a game. All before I really even realized she had my iPad. I mean, when when kids grow up on the cloud and in technology, it creates that natural proficiency. I think what we have to do is take that natural interest and give them the skill set the tools and capabilities that go with it so that we're managing, you know, the the interest with the technical skills. >>And also, like a fast I mean, just the the hackers are getting educated. Justus fast. Steve. I mean e mean Bucky. What do you do here? You CIt's the classic. Just keep chasing skills. I mean, there are new skills. What are some of those skills? >>Why would I amplify eloquent? Just said, First of all, the, uh, you know, cyber is one of those technology areas where commercial side not not the government is really kind of leading away and does a significant amount of research and development. Ah, billions of dollars are spent every year Thio to evolve new capabilities. And a lot of those companies are, you know, operated and and in some cases, led by folks in their early twenties. So the S O. This is definitely an era and a generation that is really poised in position. Well, uh, Thio take on this challenge. There's some unique aspects to space. Once we deploy a system, uh, it will be able to give me hard to service it, and we're developing capabilities now so that we could go up and and do system upgrades. But that's not a normal thing in space that just because the the technical means isn't there yet. So having software to find capabilities, I's gonna be really paramount being able to dio unique things. The cloud is huge. The cloud is centric to this or architectural, and it's kind of funny because d o d we joke because we just discovered the cloud, you know, a couple years ago. But the club has been around for a while and, uh, and it's going to give us scalability on and the growth potential for doing amazing things with a big Data Analytics. But as Preston said, it's all for not if if we can't trust the data that we receive. And so one of the concepts for future architectures is to evolve into a zero trust model where we trust nothing. We verify and authenticate everyone. And, uh, and that's that's probably a good, uh, point of departure as we look forward into our cybersecurity for space systems into the future. >>Block everyone. Preston. Your reaction to all this gaps, skills, What's needed. I mean it Z everyone's trying to squint through this >>absolutely. And I wanna want to shift gears a little bit and talk about the space agencies and organizations that are responsible for deploying these spaces into submission. So what is gonna take in this new era on, and what do we need from the workforce to be responsive to the challenges that we're seeing? First thing that comes to mind is creating a culture of security throughout aerospace right and ensuring that Azzawi mentioned before security isn't an afterthought. It's sort of baked into our models that we deploy and our rhetoric as well, right? And because again we hire our spaces in years to do it very highly. Specialized thing for a highly specialized, uh, it's topic. Our effort, if we start to incorporate rhetorically the importance of cybersecurity two missing success and missing assurance that's going to lend itself toe having more, more prepared on more capable system engineers that will be able to respond to the threats accordingly. Traditionally, what we see in organizational models it's that there's a cyber security team that's responsible for the for the whole kit kaboodle across the entire infrastructure, from enterprise systems to specialize, specialize, space systems and then a small pocket of spaces, years that that that are really there to perform their tasks on space systems. We really need to bridge that gap. We need to think about cybersecurity holistically, the skills that are necessary for your enterprise. I t security teams need to be the same skills that we need to look for for our system engineers on the flight side. So organizationally we need we need to address that issue and approach it, um todo responsive to the challenges we see our our space systems, >>new space, new culture, new skills. One of the things I want to bring up is looking for success formulas. You know, one of the things we've been seeing in the past 10 years of doing the Cube, which is, you know, we've been called the ESPN of Tech is that there's been kind of like a game ification. I want to. I don't wanna say sports because sports is different, but you're seeing robotics clubs pop up in some schools. It's like a varsity sport you're seeing, you know, twitch and you've got gamers out there, so you're seeing fun built into it. I think Cal Poly's got some challenges going on there, and then scholarships air behind it. So it's almost as if, you know, rather than going to a private sports training to get that scholarship, that never happens. There's so many more scholarship opportunities for are not scholarship, but just job opportunities and even scholarships we've covered as part of this conference. Uh, it's a whole new world of culture. It's much different than when I grew up, which was you know, you got math, science and English. You did >>it >>and you went into your track. Anyone want to comment on this new culture? Because I do believe that there is some new patterns emerging and some best practices anyone share any? >>Yeah, I do, because as you talked about robotics clubs and that sort of things, but those were great and I'm glad those air happening. And that's generating the interest, right? The whole gaming culture generating interest Robotic generates a lot of interest. Space right has captured the American in the world attention as well, with some recent NASA activities and all for the right reasons. But it's again, it's about taking that interested in providing the right skills along the way. So I'll tell you a couple of things. We're doing it a w s that we found success with. The first one is a program called A W s Academy. And this is where we have developed a cloud, uh, program a cloud certification. This is ah, cloud curriculum, if you will, and it's free and it's ready to teach. Our experts have developed this and we're ready to report it to a two year and four year colleges that they can use is part of the curriculum free of charge. And so we're seeing some real value there. And in fact, the governor's in Utah and Arizona recently adopted this program for their two year schools statewide again, where it's already to teach curriculum built by some of the best experts in the industry s so that we can try to get that skills to the people that are interested. We have another program called A W s educate, and this is for students to. But the idea behind this is we have 12 cracks and you can get up to 50 hours of free training that lead to A W s certification, that sort of thing. And then what's really interesting about that is all of our partners around the world that have tied into this program we manage what we call it ws educate Job board. And so if you have completed this educate program now, you can go to that job board and be linked directly with companies that want people with those skills we just helped you get. And it's a perfect match in a perfect marriage there. That one other piece real quickly that we're proud of is the aws Uh restart program. And that's where people who are unemployed, underemployed or transitioning can can go online. Self paced. We have over 500 courses they can take to try to develop those initial skills and get into the industry. And that's been very popular, too, So that those air a couple of things we're really trying to lean into >>anyone else want to react. Thio that question patterns success, best practices, new culture. >>I'd like Thio. The the wonderful thing about what you just touched on is problem solving, right, And there's some very, very good methodologies that are being taught in the universities and through programs like Hacking for Defense, which is sponsored by the National Security Innovation Network, a component of the I you where I work but the But whether you're using a lien methodologies or design school principals or any other method, the thing that's wonderful right now and not just, uh, where I work at the U. The Space force is doing this is well, but we're putting the problem out there for innovators to tackle, And so, rather than be prescriptive of the solutions that we want to procure, we want we want the best minds at all levels to be able to work on the problem. Uh, look at how they can leverage other commercial solutions infrastructure partnerships, uh, Thio to come up with a solution that we can that we can rapidly employ and scale. And if it's a dual use solution or whether it's, uh, civil military or or commercial, uh, in any of the other government solutions. Uh, that's really the best win for for the nation, because that commercial capability again allows us to scale globally and share those best practices with all of our friends and allies. People who share our values >>win win to this commercial. There's a business model potential financial benefits as well. Societal impact Preston. I want to come to you, JPL, NASA. I mean, you work in one of the most awesome places and you know, to me, you know, if you said to me, Hey, John, come working JP like I'm not smart enough to go there like I mean, like, it's a pretty It's intimidating, it might seem >>share folks out there, >>they can get there. I mean, it's you can get there if you have the right skills. I mean I'm just making that up. But, I mean, it is known to be super smart And is it attainable? So share your thoughts on this new culture because you could get the skills to get there. What's your take on all this >>s a bucket. Just missing something that really resonated with me, right? It's do it your love office. So if you put on the front engineer, the first thing you're gonna try to do is pick it apart. Be innovative, be creative and ways to solve that issue. And it has been really encouraging to me to see the ground welcome support an engagement that we've seen across our system. Engineers in space. I love space partners. A tackling the problem of cyber. Now that they know the West at risk on some of these cyber security threats that that they're facing with our space systems, they definitely want to be involved. They want to take the lead. They want to figure things out. They wanna be innovative and creative in that problem solving eso jpl We're doing a few things. Thio Raise the awareness Onda create a culture of security. Andi also create cyber advocates, cybersecurity advocates across our space engineers. We host events like hacked the lad, for example, and forgive me. Take a pause to think about the worst case scenarios that could that could result from that. But it certainly invites a culture of creative problem solving. Um, this is something that that kids really enjoy that are system engineers really enjoyed being a part off. Um, it's something that's new refreshing to them. Eso we were doing things like hosting a monthly cybersecurity advocacy group. When we talk about some of the cyber landscape of our space systems and invite our engineers into the conversation, we do outweighs programs specifically designed to to capture, um, our young folks, uh, young engineers to deceive. They would be interested and show them what this type of security has to offer by ways of data Analytic, since the engineering and those have been really, really successful identifying and bringing in new talent to address the skill gaps. >>Steve, I want to ask you about the d. O. D. You mentioned some of the commercial things. How are you guys engaging the commercial to solve the space issue? Because, um, the normalization in the economy with GPS just seeing spaces impacts everybody's lives. We we know that, um, it's been talked about. And and there's many, many examples. How are you guys the D o. D. From a security standpoint and or just from an advancement innovation standpoint, engaging with commercials, commercial entities and commercial folks? >>Well, I'll throw. I'll throw a, uh, I'll throw ah, compliment to Clint because he did such an outstanding job. The space forces already oriented, uh, towards ah, commercial where it's appropriate and extending the arms. Leveraging the half works on the Space Enterprise Consortium and other tools that allow for the entrepreneurs in the space force Thio work with their counterparts in a commercial community. And you see this with the, uh, you know, leveraging space X away to, uh, small companies who are doing extraordinary things to help build space situational awareness and, uh, s So it's it's the people who make this all happen. And what we do at at the D. O. D level, uh, work at the Office of Secretary defense level is we wanna make sure that they have the right tools to be able to do that in a way that allows these commercial companies to work with in this case of a space force or with cyber command and ways that doesn't redefine that. The nature of the company we want we want We want commercial companies to have, ah, great experience working with d o d. And we want d o d toe have the similar experience working, working with a commercial community, and and we actually work interagency projects to So you're going to see, uh, General Raymond, uh, hey, just recently signed an agreement with the NASA Esa, you're gonna see interagency collaborations on space that will include commercial capabilities as well. So when we speak as one government were not. You know, we're one voice, and that's gonna be tremendous, because if you're a commercial company on you can you can develop a capability that solves problems across the entire space enterprise on the government side. How great is that, Right. That's a scaling. Your solution, gentlemen. Let >>me pick you back on that, if you don't mind. I'm really excited about that. I mentioned new space, and Bucky talked about that too. You know, I've been flying satellites for 30 years, and there was a time where you know the U. S. Government national security. We wouldn't let anybody else look at him. Touch him. Plug into, um, anything else, right. And that probably worked at the time. >>But >>the world has changed. And more >>importantly, >>um, there is commercial technology and capability available today, and there's no way the U. S government or national security that national Intel community can afford economically >>to >>fund all that investment solely anymore. We don't have the manpower to do it anymore. So we have this perfect marriage of a burgeoning industry that has capabilities and it has re sources. And it has trained manpower. And we are seeing whether it's US Space Force, whether it's the intelligence community, whether it's NASA, we're seeing that opened up to commercial providers more than I've ever seen in my career. And I can tell you the customers I work with every day in a W s. We're building an entire ecosystem now that they understand how they can plug in and participate in that, and we're just seeing growth. But more importantly, we're seeing advanced capability at cheaper cost because of that hybrid model. So that really is exciting. >>Preston. You know you mentioned earlier supply chain. I don't think I think you didn't use the word supply chain. Maybe you did. But you know about the components. Um, you start opening things up and and your what you said baking it in to the beginning, which is well known. Uh, premise. It's complicated. So take me through again, Like how this all gonna work securely because And what's needed for skill sets because, you know, you're gonna open. You got open source software, which again, that's open. We live in a free society in the United States of America, so we can't lock everything down. You got components that are gonna be built anywhere all around the world from vendors that aren't just a certified >>or maybe >>certified. Um, it's pretty crazy. So just weigh in on this key point because I think Clint has it right. And but that's gonna be solved. What's your view on this? >>Absolutely. And I think it really, really start a top, right? And if you look back, you know, across, um in this country, particularly, you take the financial industry, for example, when when that was a burgeoning industry, what had to happen to ensure that across the board. Um, you know, your your finances were protected these way. Implemented regulations from the top, right? Yeah. And same thing with our health care industry. We implemented regulations, and I believe that's the same approach we're gonna need to take with our space systems in our space >>industry >>without being too directive or prescriptive. Instance she ating a core set of principles across the board for our manufacturers of space instruments for deployment and development of space systems on for how space data and scientific data is passed back and forth. Eso really? We're gonna need to take this. Ah, holistic approach. Thio, how we address this issue with cyber security is not gonna be easy. It's gonna be very challenging, but we need to set the guard rails for exactly what goes into our space systems, how they operate and how they communicate. >>Alright, so let's tie this back to the theme, um, Steve and Clint, because this is all about workforce gaps, opportunities. Um, Steve, you mentioned software defined. You can't do break fix in space. You can't just send a technician up in the space to fix a component. You gotta be software defined. We're talking about holistic approach, about commercial talk about business model technology with software and policy. We need people to think through, like you know. What the hell are you gonna do here, right? Do you just noticed road at the side of the road to drive on? There's no rules of engagement. So what I'm seeing is certainly software Check. If you wanna have a job for the next millennial software policy who solves two problems, what does freedom looked like in space Congestion Contention and then, obviously, business model. Can you guys comment on these three areas? Do you agree? And what specific person might be studying in grad school or undergraduate or in high school saying, Hey, I'm not a techie, but they can contribute your thoughts. I'll >>start off with, uh, speak on on behalf of the government today. I would just say that as policy goes, we need to definitely make sure that we're looking towards the future. Ah, lot of our policy was established in the past under different conditions, and, uh, and if there's anything that you cannot say today is that space is the same as it was even 10 years ago. So the so It's really important that our policy evolves and recognizes that that technology is going to enable not just a new ways of doing things, but also force us to maybe change or or get rid of obsolete policies that will inhibit our ability to innovate and grow and maintain peace with with a rapid, evolving threat. The for the for the audience today, Uh, you know, you want some job assurance, cybersecurity and space it's gonna be It's gonna be an unbelievable, uh, next, uh, few decades and I couldn't think of a more exciting for people to get into because, you know, spaces Ah, harsh environment. We're gonna have a hard time just dud being able differentiate, you know, anomalies that occur just because of the environment versus something that's being hacked. And so JPL has been doing this for years on they have Cem Cem great approaches, but but this is this is gonna be important if you put humans on the moon and you're going to sustain them there. Those life support systems are gonna be using, you know, state of the art computer technology, and which means, is also vulnerable. And so eso the consequences of us not being prepared? Uh, not just from our national security standpoint, but from our space exploration and our commercial, uh, economic growth in space over the long term all gonna be hinged on this cyber security environment. >>Clint, your thoughts on this too ill to get. >>Yeah. So I certainly agree with Bucky. But you said something a moment ago that Bucky was talking about as well. But that's the idea that you know in space, you can't just reach out and touch the satellite and do maintenance on the satellite the way you can't a car or a tank or a plane or a ship or something like that. And that is true. However, right, comma, I want to point out. You know, the satellite servicing industry is starting to develop where they're looking at robotic techniques in Cape abilities to go up in services satellite on orbit. And that's very promising off course. You got to think through the security policy that goes with that, of course. But the other thing that's really exciting is with artificial intelligence and machine learning and edge computing and database analytics and all those things that right on the cloud. You may not even need to send a robotic vehicle to a satellite, right? If you can upload and download software defined, fill in the blank right, maybe even fundamentally changing the mission package or the persona, if you will, of the satellite or the spacecraft. And that's really exciting to, ah, lot >>of >>security policy that you've gotta work through. But again, the cloud just opens up so many opportunities to continue to push the boundaries. You know, on the AWS team, the aerospace and satellite team, which is, you know, the new team that I'm leading. Now our motto is to the stars through the cloud. And there are just so many exciting opportunities right for for all those capabilities that I just mentioned to the stars through the cloud >>President, your thoughts on this? >>Yes, eso won >>a >>little bit of time talking about some of the business model implications and some of the challenges that exists there. Um, in my experience, we're still working through a bit of a language barrier of how we define risk management for our space systems. Traditionally traditionally risk management models is it is very clear what poses a risk to a flight mission. Our space mission, our space system. Um, and we're still finding ways to communicate cyber risk in the same terms that are system engineers are space engineers have traditionally understood. Um, this is a bit of a qualitative versus quantitative, a language barrier. But however adopting a risk management model that includes cybersecurity, a za way to express wish risk to miss the success, I think I think it would be a very good thing is something that that we have been focused on the J. P o as we Aziz, we look at the 34 years beyond. How do >>we >>risk that gap and not only skills but communication of cyber risk and the way that our space engineers and our project engineers and a space system managers understand >>Clinton, like Thio talk about space Force because this is the most popular new thing. It's only a couple of nine months in roughly not even a year, uh, already changing involving based on some of the reporting we've done even here at this symposium and on the Internet. Um, you know, when I was growing up, you know, I wasn't there when JFK said, you know, we're gonna get to the moon. I was born in the sixties, so, you know, when I was graduating my degree, you know, Draper Labs, Lincoln Lab, JPL, their pipeline and people wasn't like a surge of job openings. Um, so this kind of this new space new space race, you know, Kennedy also said that Torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans. So in a way that's happening right now with space force. A new generation is here is a digital generation. It's multi disciplinary generation. Could you take a minute and share, uh, for for our audience? And here at this symposium, um, the mission of Space Force and where you see it going because this truly is different. And I think anyone who's young e I mean, you know, if this was happening when I was in college would be like dropping everything. I'm in there, I think, cause there's so many areas thio jump into, um, it's >>intellectually challenging. >>It's intoxicating in some level. So can you share your thoughts? >>Yeah. Happy to do that. Of course. I I need to remind everybody that as a week ago I'm formally retired. So I'm not an official spokesman for US forces. But with that, you know, it said I did spend the last 18 months planning for it, designing and standing it up. And I'll tell you what's really exciting is you know, the commander of, uh, US Base Force General J. Raymond, who's the right leader at the right time. No question in my >>mind. But >>he said, I want to stand up the Space Force as the first fully digital service in the United States. Right? So he is trying >>to bake >>cloud baked cybersecurity, baked digital transformational processes and everything we did. And that was a guidance he gave us every day, every day. When we rolled in. He said, Remember, guys, I don't wanna be the same. I don't wanna be stale. I want new thinking, new capabilities and I want it all to be digital on. That's one of the reasons When we brought the first wave of people into the space force, we brought in space operations, right. People like me that flew satellites and launch rockets, we brought in cyber space experts, and we brought in intelligence experts. Those were the first three waves of people because of that, you know, perfect synergy between space and cyber and intel all wrapped in >>it. >>And so that was really, really smart. The other thing I'll say just about, you know, Kennedy's work. We're going to get to the moon. So here we are. Now we're going back to the Moon Project Artemus that NASA is working next man first woman on the moon by 2024 is the plan and >>then >>with designs to put a permanent presence on the moon and then lean off to march. So there was a lot to get excited about. I will tell you, as we were taking applications and looking at rounding out filling out the village in the U. S. Space Force, we were overwhelmed with the number of people that wanted, and that was a really, really good things. So they're off to a good start, and they're just gonna accomplishment major things. I know for sure. >>Preston, your thoughts on this new generation people out there were like I could get into this. This is a path. What's your what's your opinion on this? And what's your >>E could, uh, you so bold as to say >>that >>I feel like I'm a part of that new generation eso I grew up very much into space. Uh, looking at, um, listen to my, uh, folks I looked up to like Carl Sagan. Like like Neil Tyson. DeGrasse on did really feeling affinity for what What this country has done is for is a space program are focused on space exploration on bond. Through that, I got into our security, as it means from the military. And I just because I feel so fortunate that I could merge both of those worlds because of because of the generational, um, tailoring that we do thio promote space exploration and also the advent of cybersecurity expertise that is needed in this country. I feel like that. We are We are seeing a conversions of this too. I see a lot of young people really getting into space exploration. I see a lot of young people as well. Um uh, gravitating toward cybersecurity as a as a course of study. And to see those two worlds colliding and converse is something that's very near and dear to me. And again, I I feel like I'm a byproduct of that conversion, which is which, Really, Bothwell for space security in the future, >>we'll your great leader and inspiration. Certainly. Senior person as well. Congratulations, Steve. You know, young people motivational. I mean, get going. Get off the sidelines. Jump in Water is fine, Right? Come on in. What's your view on motivating the young workforce out there and anyone thinking about applying their skills on bringing something to the table? >>Well, look at the options today. You have civil space President represents you have military space. Uh, you have commercial space on and even, you know, in academia, the research, the potential as a as an aspiring cyber professional. All of you should be thinking about when we when we When? When we first invented the orbit, which eventually became the Internet, Uh, on Lee, we were, uh if all we had the insight to think Well, geez, you know whether the security implications 2030 years from now of this thing scaling on growing and I think was really good about today's era. Especially as Clint said, because we were building this space infrastructure with a cyber professionals at ground zero on dso the So the opportunity there is to look out into the future and say we're not just trying to secure independent her systems today and assure the free for all of of information for commerce. You know, the GPS signal, Uh, is Justus much in need of protection as anything else tied to our economy, But the would have fantastic mission. And you could do that. Uh, here on the ground. You could do it, uh, at a great companies like Amazon Web services. But you can also one of these states. Perhaps we go and be part of that contingency that goes and does the, uh, the se's oh job that that president has on the moon or on Mars and, uh, space will space will get boring within a generation or two because they'll just be seen as one continuum of everything we have here on Earth. And, uh, and that would be after our time. But in the meantime, is a very exciting place to be. And I know if I was in in my twenties, I wanna be, uh, jumping in with both feet into it. >>Yeah, great stuff. I mean, I think space is gonna be around for a long long time. It's super exciting and cybersecurity making it secure. And there's so many areas defeating on. Gentlemen, thank you very much for your awesome insight. Great panel. Um, great inspiration. Every one of you guys. Thank you very much for for sharing for the space and cybersecurity symposium. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. >>Thanks, John. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, >>I'm >>John for your host for the Space and Cybersecurity Symposium. Thanks for watching.

Clint Closure with a W. S now heading up. as Preston mentioned, Um, depending on the projection that you Clint, I just wanna say thank you for all your hard work and the team and all the communications and all the technology and policy and, you It's not just one thing that speaks to the diversity of workforce needs. countries, all that have the ability, you know. outside of the technology, you know, flying in space. I mean, state of the right. in the modern era, we doom or operations with our friends and allies, So the question is, how do you share and talk about some the complexities and challenges we face with this advent of new space and and environment, especially our government systems that were built, you know, in many cases 10 years ago, You mentioned a little bit of those those govcloud, which made me think about you I mean, you gotta you like math and that we're managing, you know, the the interest with the technical skills. And also, like a fast I mean, just the the hackers are getting educated. And a lot of those companies are, you know, operated and and in some cases, Your reaction to all this gaps, skills, What's needed. I t security teams need to be the same skills that we need to look for for our system engineers on the flight One of the things I want to bring up is looking for success formulas. and you went into your track.

Kubernetes on Any Infrastructure Top to Bottom Tutorials for Docker Enterprise Container Cloud


 

>>all right, We're five minutes after the hour. That's all aboard. Who's coming aboard? Welcome everyone to the tutorial track for our launchpad of them. So for the next couple of hours, we've got a SYRIZA videos and experts on hand to answer questions about our new product, Doctor Enterprise Container Cloud. Before we jump into the videos and the technology, I just want to introduce myself and my other emcee for the session. I'm Bill Milks. I run curriculum development for Mirant us on. And >>I'm Bruce Basil Matthews. I'm the Western regional Solutions architect for Moran Tissue esa and welcome to everyone to this lovely launchpad oven event. >>We're lucky to have you with us proof. At least somebody on the call knows something about your enterprise Computer club. Um, speaking of people that know about Dr Enterprise Container Cloud, make sure that you've got a window open to the chat for this session. We've got a number of our engineers available and on hand to answer your questions live as we go through these videos and disgusting problem. So that's us, I guess, for Dr Enterprise Container Cloud, this is Mirant asses brand new product for bootstrapping Doctor Enterprise Kubernetes clusters at scale Anything. The airport Abu's? >>No, just that I think that we're trying Thio. Uh, let's see. Hold on. I think that we're trying Teoh give you a foundation against which to give this stuff a go yourself. And that's really the key to this thing is to provide some, you know, many training and education in a very condensed period. So, >>yeah, that's exactly what you're going to see. The SYRIZA videos we have today. We're going to focus on your first steps with Dr Enterprise Container Cloud from installing it to bootstrapping your regional child clusters so that by the end of the tutorial content today, you're gonna be prepared to spin up your first documentary prize clusters using documented prize container class. So just a little bit of logistics for the session. We're going to run through these tutorials twice. We're gonna do one run through starting seven minutes ago up until I guess it will be ten fifteen Pacific time. Then we're gonna run through the whole thing again. So if you've got other colleagues that weren't able to join right at the top of the hour and would like to jump in from the beginning, ten. Fifteen Pacific time. We're gonna do the whole thing over again. So if you want to see the videos twice, you got public friends and colleagues that, you know you wanna pull in for a second chance to see this stuff, we're gonna do it all. All twice. Yeah, this session. Any any logistics I should add, Bruce that No, >>I think that's that's pretty much what we had to nail down here. But let's zoom dash into those, uh, feature films. >>Let's do Edmonds. And like I said, don't be shy. Feel free to ask questions in the chat or engineers and boosting myself are standing by to answer your questions. So let me just tee up the first video here and walk their cost. Yeah. Mhm. Yes. Sorry. And here we go. So our first video here is gonna be about installing the Doctor Enterprise Container Club Management cluster. So I like to think of the management cluster as like your mothership, right? This is what you're gonna use to deploy all those little child clusters that you're gonna use is like, Come on it as clusters downstream. So the management costs was always our first step. Let's jump in there >>now. We have to give this brief little pause >>with no good day video. Focus for this demo will be the initial bootstrap of the management cluster in the first regional clusters to support AWS deployments. The management cluster provides the core functionality, including identity management, authentication, infantry release version. The regional cluster provides the specific architecture provided in this case, eight of us and the Elsie um, components on the UCP Cluster Child cluster is the cluster or clusters being deployed and managed. The deployment is broken up into five phases. The first phase is preparing a big strap note on this dependencies on handling with download of the bridge struck tools. The second phase is obtaining America's license file. Third phase. Prepare the AWS credentials instead of the adduce environment. The fourth configuring the deployment, defining things like the machine types on the fifth phase. Run the bootstrap script and wait for the deployment to complete. Okay, so here we're sitting up the strap node, just checking that it's clean and clear and ready to go there. No credentials already set up on that particular note. Now we're just checking through AWS to make sure that the account we want to use we have the correct credentials on the correct roles set up and validating that there are no instances currently set up in easy to instance, not completely necessary, but just helps keep things clean and tidy when I am perspective. Right. So next step, we're just going to check that we can, from the bootstrap note, reach more antis, get to the repositories where the various components of the system are available. They're good. No areas here. Yeah, right now we're going to start sitting at the bootstrap note itself. So we're downloading the cars release, get get cars, script, and then next, we're going to run it. I'm in. Deploy it. Changing into that big struck folder. Just making see what's there. Right now we have no license file, so we're gonna get the license filed. Oh, okay. Get the license file through the more antis downloads site, signing up here, downloading that license file and putting it into the Carisbrook struck folder. Okay, Once we've done that, we can now go ahead with the rest of the deployment. See that the follow is there. Uh, huh? That's again checking that we can now reach E C two, which is extremely important for the deployment. Just validation steps as we move through the process. All right, The next big step is valid in all of our AWS credentials. So the first thing is, we need those route credentials which we're going to export on the command line. This is to create the necessary bootstrap user on AWS credentials for the completion off the deployment we're now running an AWS policy create. So it is part of that is creating our Food trucks script, creating the mystery policy files on top of AWS, Just generally preparing the environment using a cloud formation script you'll see in a second will give a new policy confirmations just waiting for it to complete. Yeah, and there is done. It's gonna have a look at the AWS console. You can see that we're creative completed. Now we can go and get the credentials that we created Today I am console. Go to that new user that's being created. We'll go to the section on security credentials and creating new keys. Download that information media Access key I D and the secret access key. We went, Yeah, usually then exported on the command line. Okay. Couple of things to Notre. Ensure that you're using the correct AWS region on ensure that in the conflict file you put the correct Am I in for that region? I'm sure you have it together in a second. Yes. Okay, that's the key. Secret X key. Right on. Let's kick it off. Yeah, So this process takes between thirty and forty five minutes. Handles all the AWS dependencies for you, and as we go through, the process will show you how you can track it. Andi will start to see things like the running instances being created on the west side. The first phase off this whole process happening in the background is the creation of a local kind based bootstrapped cluster on the bootstrap node that clusters then used to deploy and manage all the various instances and configurations within AWS. At the end of the process, that cluster is copied into the new cluster on AWS and then shut down that local cluster essentially moving itself over. Okay. Local clusters boat just waiting for the various objects to get ready. Standard communities objects here Okay, so we speed up this process a little bit just for demonstration purposes. Yeah. There we go. So first note is being built the best in host. Just jump box that will allow us access to the entire environment. Yeah, In a few seconds, we'll see those instances here in the US console on the right. Um, the failures that you're seeing around failed to get the I. P for Bastian is just the weight state while we wait for a W s to create the instance. Okay. Yes. Here, beauty there. Okay. Mhm. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. On there. We got question. Host has been built on three instances for the management clusters have now been created. We're going through the process of preparing. Those nodes were now copying everything over. See that? The scaling up of controllers in the big Strap cluster? It's indicating that we're starting all of the controllers in the new question. Almost there. Yeah. Yeah, just waiting for key. Clark. Uh huh. Start to finish up. Yeah. No. What? Now we're shutting down control this on the local bootstrap node on preparing our I. D. C. Configuration. Fourth indication, soon as this is completed. Last phase will be to deploy stack light into the new cluster the last time Monitoring tool set way Go stack like to plan It has started. Mhm coming to the end of the deployment Mountain. Yeah, America. Final phase of the deployment. Onda, We are done. Okay, You'll see. At the end they're providing us the details of you. I log in so there's a keeper clogging. You can modify that initial default password is part of the configuration set up with one documentation way. Go Councils up way can log in. Yeah, yeah, thank you very much for watching. >>Excellent. So in that video are wonderful field CTO Shauna Vera bootstrapped up management costume for Dr Enterprise Container Cloud Bruce, where exactly does that leave us? So now we've got this management costume installed like what's next? >>So primarily the foundation for being able to deploy either regional clusters that will then allow you to support child clusters. Uh, comes into play the next piece of what we're going to show, I think with Sean O'Mara doing this is the child cluster capability, which allows you to then deploy your application services on the local cluster. That's being managed by the ah ah management cluster that we just created with the bootstrap. >>Right? So this cluster isn't yet for workloads. This is just for bootstrapping up the downstream clusters. Those or what we're gonna use for workings. >>Exactly. Yeah. And I just wanted to point out, since Sean O'Mara isn't around, toe, actually answer questions. I could listen to that guy. Read the phone book, and it would be interesting, but anyway, you can tell him I said that >>he's watching right now, Crusoe. Good. Um, cool. So and just to make sure I understood what Sean was describing their that bootstrap er knows that you, like, ran document fresh pretender Cloud from to begin with. That's actually creating a kind kubernetes deployment kubernetes and Docker deployment locally. That then hits the AWS a p i in this example that make those e c two instances, and it makes like a three manager kubernetes cluster there, and then it, like, copies itself over toe those communities managers. >>Yeah, and and that's sort of where the transition happens. You can actually see it. The output that when it says I'm pivoting, I'm pivoting from my local kind deployment of cluster AP, I toothy, uh, cluster, that's that's being created inside of AWS or, quite frankly, inside of open stack or inside of bare metal or inside of it. The targeting is, uh, abstracted. Yeah, but >>those air three environments that we're looking at right now, right? Us bare metal in open staff environments. So does that kind cluster on the bootstrap er go away afterwards. You don't need that afterwards. Yeah, that is just temporary. To get things bootstrapped, then you manage things from management cluster on aws in this example? >>Yeah. Yeah. The seed, uh, cloud that post the bootstrap is not required anymore. And there's no, uh, interplay between them after that. So that there's no dependencies on any of the clouds that get created thereafter. >>Yeah, that actually reminds me of how we bootstrapped doctor enterprise back in the day, be a temporary container that would bootstrap all the other containers. Go away. It's, uh, so sort of a similar, similar temporary transient bootstrapping model. Cool. Excellent. What will convict there? It looked like there wasn't a ton, right? It looked like you had to, like, set up some AWS parameters like credentials and region and stuff like that. But other than that, that looked like heavily script herbal like there wasn't a ton of point and click there. >>Yeah, very much so. It's pretty straightforward from a bootstrapping standpoint, The config file that that's generated the template is fairly straightforward and targeted towards of a small medium or large, um, deployment. And by editing that single file and then gathering license file and all of the things that Sean went through, um, that that it makes it fairly easy to script >>this. And if I understood correctly as well that three manager footprint for your management cluster, that's the minimum, right. We always insist on high availability for this management cluster because boy do not wanna see oh, >>right, right. And you know, there's all kinds of persistent data that needs to be available, regardless of whether one of the notes goes down or not. So we're taking care of all of that for you behind the scenes without you having toe worry about it as a developer. >>No, I think there's that's a theme that I think will come back to throughout the rest of this tutorial session today is there's a lot of there's a lot of expertise baked him to Dr Enterprise Container Cloud in terms of implementing best practices for you like the defaulter, just the best practices of how you should be managing these clusters, Miss Seymour. Examples of that is the day goes on. Any interesting questions you want to call out from the chap who's >>well, there was. Yeah, yeah, there was one that we had responded to earlier about the fact that it's a management cluster that then conduce oh, either the the regional cluster or a local child molester. The child clusters, in each case host the application services, >>right? So at this point, we've got, in some sense, like the simplest architectures for our documentary prize Container Cloud. We've got the management cluster, and we're gonna go straight with child cluster. In the next video, there's a more sophisticated architecture, which will also proper today that inserts another layer between those two regional clusters. If you need to manage regions like across a BS, reads across with these documents anything, >>yeah, that that local support for the child cluster makes it a lot easier for you to manage the individual clusters themselves and to take advantage of our observation. I'll support systems a stack light and things like that for each one of clusters locally, as opposed to having to centralize thumb >>eso. It's a couple of good questions. In the chat here, someone was asking for the instructions to do this themselves. I strongly encourage you to do so. That should be in the docks, which I think Dale helpfully thank you. Dale provided links for that's all publicly available right now. So just head on in, head on into the docks like the Dale provided here. You can follow this example yourself. All you need is a Mirante license for this and your AWS credentials. There was a question from many a hear about deploying this toe azure. Not at G. Not at this time. >>Yeah, although that is coming. That's going to be in a very near term release. >>I didn't wanna make promises for product, but I'm not too surprised that she's gonna be targeted. Very bracing. Cool. Okay. Any other thoughts on this one does. >>No, just that the fact that we're running through these individual pieces of the steps Well, I'm sure help you folks. If you go to the link that, uh, the gentleman had put into the chat, um, giving you the step by staff. Um, it makes it fairly straightforward to try this yourselves. >>E strongly encourage that, right? That's when you really start to internalize this stuff. OK, but before we move on to the next video, let's just make sure everyone has a clear picture in your mind of, like, where we are in the life cycle here creating this management cluster. Just stop me if I'm wrong. Who's creating this management cluster is like, you do that once, right? That's when your first setting up your doctor enterprise container cloud environment of system. What we're going to start seeing next is creating child clusters and this is what you're gonna be doing over and over and over again. When you need to create a cluster for this Deb team or, you know, this other team river it is that needs commodity. Doctor Enterprise clusters create these easy on half will. So this was once to set up Dr Enterprise Container Cloud Child clusters, which we're going to see next. We're gonna do over and over and over again. So let's go to that video and see just how straightforward it is to spin up a doctor enterprise cluster for work clothes as a child cluster. Undocumented brands contain >>Hello. In this demo, we will cover the deployment experience of creating a new child cluster, the scaling of the cluster and how to update the cluster. When a new version is available, we begin the process by logging onto the you I as a normal user called Mary. Let's go through the navigation of the U I so you can switch. Project Mary only has access to development. Get a list of the available projects that you have access to. What clusters have been deployed at the moment there. Nan Yes, this H Keys Associate ID for Mary into her team on the cloud credentials that allow you to create access the various clouds that you can deploy clusters to finally different releases that are available to us. We can switch from dark mode to light mode, depending on your preferences, Right? Let's now set up semester search keys for Mary so she can access the notes and machines again. Very simply, had Mississippi key give it a name, we copy and paste our public key into the upload key block. Or we can upload the key if we have the file available on our local machine. A simple process. So to create a new cluster, we define the cluster ad management nodes and add worker nodes to the cluster. Yeah, again, very simply, you go to the clusters tab. We hit the create cluster button. Give the cluster name. Yeah, Andi, select the provider. We only have access to AWS in this particular deployment, so we'll stick to AWS. What's like the region in this case? US West one release version five point seven is the current release Onda Attach. Mary's Key is necessary Key. We can then check the rest of the settings, confirming the provider Any kubernetes c r D r I p address information. We can change this. Should we wish to? We'll leave it default for now on. Then what components? A stack light I would like to deploy into my Custer. For this. I'm enabling stack light on logging on Aiken. Sit up the retention sizes Attention times on. Even at this stage, at any customer alerts for the watchdogs. E consider email alerting which I will need my smart host details and authentication details. Andi Slack Alerts. Now I'm defining the cluster. All that's happened is the cluster's been defined. I now need to add machines to that cluster. I'll begin by clicking the create machine button within the cluster definition. Oh, select manager, Select the number of machines. Three is the minimum. Select the instant size that I'd like to use from AWS and very importantly, ensure correct. Use the correct Am I for the region. I commend side on the route device size. There we go, my three machines obviously creating. I now need to add some workers to this custom. So I go through the same process this time once again, just selecting worker. I'll just add to once again, the AM is extremely important. Will fail if we don't pick the right, Am I for a boon to machine in this case and the deployment has started. We can go and check on the bold status are going back to the clusters screen on clicking on the little three dots on the right. We get the cluster info and the events, so the basic cluster info you'll see pending their listen cluster is still in the process of being built. We kick on, the events will get a list of actions that have been completed This part of the set up of the cluster. So you can see here we've created the VPC. We've created the sub nets on We've created the Internet gateway. It's unnecessary made of us and we have no warnings of the stage. Yeah, this will then run for a while. We have one minute past waken click through. We can check the status of the machine bulls as individuals so we can check the machine info, details of the machines that we've assigned, right? Mhm Onda. See any events pertaining to the machine areas like this one on normal? Yeah. Just watch asked. The community's components are waiting for the machines to start. Go back to Custer's. Okay, right. Because we're moving ahead now. We can see we have it in progress. Five minutes in new Matt Gateway on the stage. The machines have been built on assigned. I pick up the U. S. Thank you. Yeah. There we go. Machine has been created. See the event detail and the AWS. I'd for that machine. Mhm. No speeding things up a little bit. This whole process and to end takes about fifteen minutes. Run the clock forward, you'll notice is the machines continue to bold the in progress. We'll go from in progress to ready. A soon as we got ready on all three machines, the managers on both workers way could go on and we could see that now we reached the point where the cluster itself is being configured. Mhm, mhm. And then we go. Cluster has been deployed. So once the classes deployed, we can now never get around our environment. Okay, Are cooking into configure cluster We could modify their cluster. We could get the end points for alert alert manager on See here The griffon occupying and Prometheus are still building in the background but the cluster is available on you would be able to put workloads on it the stretch to download the cube conflict so that I can put workloads on it. It's again three little dots in the right for that particular cluster. If the download cube conflict give it my password, I now have the Q conflict file necessary so that I can access that cluster Mhm all right Now that the build is fully completed, we can check out cluster info on. We can see that Allow the satellite components have been built. All the storage is there, and we have access to the CPU. I So if we click into the cluster, we can access the UCP dashboard, right? Shit. Click the signing with Detroit button to use the SSO on. We give Mary's possible to use the name once again. Thing is, an unlicensed cluster way could license at this point. Or just skip it on. There. We have the UCP dashboard. You can see that has been up for a little while. We have some data on the dashboard going back to the console. We can now go to the griffon, a data just being automatically pre configured for us. We can switch and utilized a number of different dashboards that have already been instrumented within the cluster. So, for example, communities cluster information, the name spaces, deployments, nodes. Mhm. So we look at nodes. If we could get a view of the resource is utilization of Mrs Custer is very little running in it. Yeah. General dashboard of Cuba navies cluster one of this is configurable. You can modify these for your own needs, or add your own dashboards on de scoped to the cluster. So it is available to all users who have access to this specific cluster, all right to scale the cluster on to add a notice. A simple is the process of adding a mode to the cluster, assuming we've done that in the first place. So we go to the cluster, go into the details for the cluster we select, create machine. Once again, we need to be ensure that we put the correct am I in and any other functions we like. You can create different sized machines so it could be a larger node. Could be bigger disks and you'll see that worker has been added from the provisioning state on shortly. We will see the detail off that worker as a complete to remove a note from a cluster. Once again, we're going to the cluster. We select the node would like to remove. Okay, I just hit delete On that note. Worker nodes will be removed from the cluster using according and drawing method to ensure that your workouts are not affected. Updating a cluster. When an update is available in the menu for that particular cluster, the update button will become available. And it's a simple as clicking the button, validating which release you would like to update to. In this case, the next available releases five point seven point one. Here I'm kicking the update by in the background We will coordinate. Drain each node slowly go through the process of updating it. Andi update will complete depending on what the update is as quickly as possible. Girl, we go. The notes being rebuilt in this case impacted the manager node. So one of the manager nodes is in the process of being rebuilt. In fact, to in this case, one has completed already on In a few minutes we'll see that there are great has been completed. There we go. Great. Done. Yeah. If you work loads of both using proper cloud native community standards, there will be no impact. >>Excellent. So at this point, we've now got a cluster ready to start taking our communities of workloads. He started playing or APs to that costume. So watching that video, the thing that jumped out to me at first Waas like the inputs that go into defining this workload cost of it. All right, so we have to make sure we were using on appropriate am I for that kind of defines the substrate about what we're gonna be deploying our cluster on top of. But there's very little requirements. A so far as I could tell on top of that, am I? Because Docker enterprise Container Cloud is gonna bootstrap all the components that you need. That s all we have is kind of kind of really simple bunch box that we were deploying these things on top of so one thing that didn't get dug into too much in the video. But it's just sort of implied. Bruce, maybe you can comment on this is that release that Shawn had to choose for his, uh, for his cluster in creating it. And that release was also the thing we had to touch. Wanted to upgrade part cluster. So you have really sharp eyes. You could see at the end there that when you're doing the release upgrade enlisted out a stack of components docker, engine, kubernetes, calico, aled, different bits and pieces that go into, uh, go into one of these commodity clusters that deploy. And so, as far as I can tell in that case, that's what we mean by a release. In this sense, right? It's the validated stack off container ization and orchestration components that you know we've tested out and make sure it works well, introduction environments. >>Yeah, and and And that's really the focus of our effort is to ensure that any CVS in any of the stack are taken care of that there is a fixes air documented and up streamed to the open stack community source community, um, and and that, you know, then we test for the scaling ability and the reliability in high availability configuration for the clusters themselves. The hosts of your containers. Right. And I think one of the key, uh, you know, benefits that we provide is that ability to let you know, online, high. We've got an update for you, and it's fixes something that maybe you had asked us to fix. Uh, that all comes to you online as your managing your clusters, so you don't have to think about it. It just comes as part of the product. >>You just have to click on Yes. Please give me that update. Uh, not just the individual components, but again. It's that it's that validated stack, right? Not just, you know, component X, y and Z work. But they all work together effectively Scalable security, reliably cool. Um, yeah. So at that point, once we started creating that workload child cluster, of course, we bootstrapped good old universal control plane. Doctor Enterprise. On top of that, Sean had the classic comment there, you know? Yeah. Yeah. You'll see a little warnings and errors or whatever. When you're setting up, UCP don't handle, right, Just let it do its job, and it will converge all its components, you know, after just just a minute or two. But we saw in that video, we sped things up a little bit there just we didn't wait for, you know, progress fighters to complete. But really, in real life, that whole process is that anything so spend up one of those one of those fosters so quite quite quick. >>Yeah, and and I think the the thoroughness with which it goes through its process and re tries and re tries, uh, as you know, and it was evident when we went through the initial ah video of the bootstrapping as well that the processes themselves are self healing, as they are going through. So they will try and retry and wait for the event to complete properly on. And once it's completed properly, then it will go to the next step. >>Absolutely. And the worst thing you could do is panic at the first warning and start tearing things that don't don't do that. Just don't let it let it heal. Let take care of itself. And that's the beauty of these manage solutions is that they bake in a lot of subject matter expertise, right? The decisions that are getting made by those containers is they're bootstrapping themselves, reflect the expertise of the Mirant ISS crew that has been developing this content in these two is free for years and years now, over recognizing humanities. One cool thing there that I really appreciate it actually that it adds on top of Dr Enterprise is that automatic griffon a deployment as well. So, Dr Enterprises, I think everyone knows has had, like, some very high level of statistics baked into its dashboard for years and years now. But you know our customers always wanted a double click on that right to be able to go a little bit deeper. And Griffon are really addresses that it's built in dashboards. That's what's really nice to see. >>Yeah, uh, and all of the alerts and, uh, data are actually captured in a Prometheus database underlying that you have access to so that you are allowed to add new alerts that then go out to touch slack and say hi, You need to watch your disk space on this machine or those kinds of things. Um, and and this is especially helpful for folks who you know, want to manage the application service layer but don't necessarily want to manage the operations side of the house. So it gives them a tool set that they can easily say here, Can you watch these for us? And Miran tas can actually help do that with you, So >>yeah, yeah, I mean, that's just another example of baking in that expert knowledge, right? So you can leverage that without tons and tons of a long ah, long runway of learning about how to do that sort of thing. Just get out of the box right away. There was the other thing, actually, that you could sleep by really quickly if you weren't paying close attention. But Sean mentioned it on the video. And that was how When you use dark enterprise container cloud to scale your cluster, particularly pulling a worker out, it doesn't just like Territo worker down and forget about it. Right? Is using good communities best practices to cordon and drain the No. So you aren't gonna disrupt your workloads? You're going to just have a bunch of containers instantly. Excellent crash. You could really carefully manage the migration of workloads off that cluster has baked right in tow. How? How? Document? The brass container cloud is his handling cluster scale. >>Right? And And the kubernetes, uh, scaling methodology is is he adhered to with all of the proper techniques that ensure that it will tell you. Wait, you've got a container that actually needs three, uh, three, uh, instances of itself. And you don't want to take that out, because that node, it means you'll only be able to have to. And we can't do that. We can't allow that. >>Okay, Very cool. Further thoughts on this video. So should we go to the questions. >>Let's let's go to the questions >>that people have. Uh, there's one good one here, down near the bottom regarding whether an a p I is available to do this. So in all these demos were clicking through this web. You I Yes, this is all a p. I driven. You could do all of this. You know, automate all this away is part of the CSC change. Absolutely. Um, that's kind of the point, right? We want you to be ableto spin up. Come on. I keep calling them commodity clusters. What I mean by that is clusters that you can create and throw away. You know, easily and automatically. So everything you see in these demos eyes exposed to FBI? >>Yeah. In addition, through the standard Cube cuddle, Uh, cli as well. So if you're not a programmer, but you still want to do some scripting Thio, you know, set up things and deploy your applications and things. You can use this standard tool sets that are available to accomplish that. >>There is a good question on scale here. So, like, just how many clusters and what sort of scale of deployments come this kind of support our engineers report back here that we've done in practice up to a Zeman ia's like two hundred clusters. We've deployed on this with two hundred fifty nodes in a cluster. So were, you know, like like I said, hundreds, hundreds of notes, hundreds of clusters managed by documented press container fall and then those downstream clusters, of course, subject to the usual constraints for kubernetes, right? Like default constraints with something like one hundred pods for no or something like that. There's a few different limitations of how many pods you can run on a given cluster that comes to us not from Dr Enterprise Container Cloud, but just from the underlying kubernetes distribution. >>Yeah, E. I mean, I don't think that we constrain any of the capabilities that are available in the, uh, infrastructure deliveries, uh, service within the goober Netease framework. So were, you know, But we are, uh, adhering to the standards that we would want to set to make sure that we're not overloading a node or those kinds of things, >>right. Absolutely cool. Alright. So at this point, we've got kind of a two layered our protection when we are management cluster, but we deployed in the first video. Then we use that to deploy one child clustering work, classroom, uh, for more sophisticated deployments where we might want to manage child clusters across multiple regions. We're gonna add another layer into our architectural we're gonna add in regional cluster management. So this idea you're gonna have the single management cluster that we started within the first video. On the next video, we're gonna learn how to spin up a regional clusters, each one of which would manage, for example, a different AWS uh, US region. So let me just pull out the video for that bill. We'll check it out for me. Mhm. >>Hello. In this demo, we will cover the deployment of additional regional management. Cluster will include a brief architectures of you how to set up the management environment, prepare for the deployment deployment overview and then just to prove it, to play a regional child cluster. So, looking at the overall architecture, the management cluster provides all the core functionality, including identity management, authentication, inventory and release version. ING Regional Cluster provides the specific architecture provider in this case AWS on the LCN components on the D you speak Cluster for child cluster is the cluster or clusters being deployed and managed? Okay, so why do you need a regional cluster? Different platform architectures, for example aws who have been stack even bare metal to simplify connectivity across multiple regions handle complexities like VPNs or one way connectivity through firewalls, but also help clarify availability zones. Yeah. Here we have a view of the regional cluster and how it connects to the management cluster on their components, including items like the LCN cluster Manager we also Machine Manager were held. Mandel are managed as well as the actual provider logic. Mhm. Okay, we'll begin by logging on Is the default administrative user writer. Okay, once we're in there, we'll have a look at the available clusters making sure we switch to the default project which contains the administration clusters. Here we can see the cars management cluster, which is the master controller. And you see, it only has three nodes, three managers, no workers. Okay, if we look at another regional cluster similar to what we're going to deploy now, also only has three managers once again, no workers. But as a comparison, here's a child cluster This one has three managers, but also has additional workers associate it to the cluster. All right, we need to connect. Tell bootstrap note. Preferably the same note that used to create the original management plaster. It's just on AWS, but I still want to machine. All right. A few things we have to do to make sure the environment is ready. First thing we're going to see go into route. We'll go into our releases folder where we have the kozberg struck on. This was the original bootstrap used to build the original management cluster. Yeah, we're going to double check to make sure our cube con figures there once again, the one created after the original customers created just double check. That cute conflict is the correct one. Does point to the management cluster. We're just checking to make sure that we can reach the images that everything is working. A condom. No damages waken access to a swell. Yeah. Next we're gonna edit the machine definitions. What we're doing here is ensuring that for this cluster we have the right machine definitions, including items like the am I. So that's found under the templates AWS directory. We don't need to edit anything else here. But we could change items like the size of the machines attempts. We want to use that The key items to ensure where you changed the am I reference for the junta image is the one for the region in this case AWS region for utilizing this was no construct deployment. We have to make sure we're pointing in the correct open stack images. Yeah, okay. Set the correct and my save file. Now we need to get up credentials again. When we originally created the bootstrap cluster, we got credentials from eight of the U. S. If we hadn't done this, we would need to go through the u A. W s set up. So we're just exporting the AWS access key and I d. What's important is CAAs aws enabled equals. True. Now we're sitting the region for the new regional cluster. In this case, it's Frankfurt on exporting our cube conflict that we want to use for the management cluster. When we looked at earlier Yeah, now we're exporting that. Want to call the cluster region Is Frank Foods Socrates Frankfurt yet trying to use something descriptive It's easy to identify. Yeah, and then after this, we'll just run the bootstrap script, which will complete the deployment for us. Bootstrap of the regional cluster is quite a bit quicker than the initial management clusters. There are fewer components to be deployed. Um, but to make it watchable, we've spent it up. So we're preparing our bootstrap cluster on the local bootstrap node. Almost ready on. We started preparing the instances at W s and waiting for that bastard and no to get started. Please. The best you nerd Onda. We're also starting to build the actual management machines they're now provisioning on. We've reached the point where they're actually starting to deploy. Dr. Enterprise, this is probably the longest face. Yeah, seeing the second that all the nerds will go from the player deployed. Prepare, prepare. Yeah, You'll see their status changes updates. He was the first night ready. Second, just applying second already. Both my time. No waiting from home control. Let's become ready. Removing cluster the management cluster from the bootstrap instance into the new cluster running the date of the U. S. All my stay. Ah, now we're playing Stockland. Switch over is done on. Done. Now I will build a child cluster in the new region very, very quickly to find the cluster will pick. Our new credential has shown up. We'll just call it Frankfurt for simplicity a key and customs to find. That's the machine. That cluster stop with three managers. Set the correct Am I for the region? Yeah, Do the same to add workers. There we go test the building. Yeah. Total bill of time Should be about fifteen minutes. Concedes in progress. It's going to expect this up a little bit. Check the events. We've created all the dependencies, machine instances, machines, a boat shortly. We should have a working cluster in Frankfurt region. Now almost a one note is ready from management. Two in progress. Yeah, on we're done. Clusters up and running. Yeah. >>Excellent. So at this point, we've now got that three tier structure that we talked about before the video. We got that management cluster that we do strapped in the first video. Now we have in this example to different regional clustering one in Frankfurt, one of one management was two different aws regions. And sitting on that you can do Strap up all those Doctor enterprise costumes that we want for our work clothes. >>Yeah, that's the key to this is to be able to have co resident with your actual application service enabled clusters the management co resident with it so that you can, you know, quickly access that he observation Elson Surfboard services like the graph, Ana and that sort of thing for your particular region. A supposed to having to lug back into the home. What did you call it when we started >>the mothership? >>The mothership. Right. So we don't have to go back to the mother ship. We could get >>it locally. Yeah, when, like to that point of aggregating things under a single pane of glass? That's one thing that again kind of sailed by in the demo really quickly. But you'll notice all your different clusters were on that same cluster. Your pain on your doctor Enterprise Container Cloud management. Uh, court. Right. So both your child clusters for running workload and your regional clusters for bootstrapping. Those child clusters were all listed in the same place there. So it's just one pane of glass to go look for, for all of your clusters, >>right? And, uh, this is kind of an important point. I was, I was realizing, as we were going through this. All of the mechanics are actually identical between the bootstrapped cluster of the original services and the bootstrapped cluster of the regional services. It's the management layer of everything so that you only have managers, you don't have workers and that at the child cluster layer below the regional or the management cluster itself, that's where you have the worker nodes. And those are the ones that host the application services in that three tiered architecture that we've now defined >>and another, you know, detail for those that have sharp eyes. In that video, you'll notice when deploying a child clusters. There's not on Lee. A minimum of three managers for high availability management cluster. You must have at least two workers that's just required for workload failure. It's one of those down get out of work. They could potentially step in there, so your minimum foot point one of these child clusters is fine. Violence and scalable, obviously, from a >>That's right. >>Let's take a quick peek of the questions here, see if there's anything we want to call out, then we move on to our last want to my last video. There's another question here about, like where these clusters can live. So again, I know these examples are very aws heavy. Honestly, it's just easy to set up down on the other us. We could do things on bare metal and, uh, open stack departments on Prem. That's what all of this still works in exactly the same way. >>Yeah, the, uh, key to this, especially for the the, uh, child clusters, is the provision hers? Right? See you establish on AWS provision or you establish a bare metal provision or you establish a open stack provision. Or and eventually that list will include all of the other major players in the cloud arena. But you, by selecting the provision or within your management interface, that's where you decide where it's going to be hosted, where the child cluster is to be hosted. >>Speaking off all through a child clusters. Let's jump into our last video in the Siri's, where we'll see how to spin up a child cluster on bare metal. >>Hello. This demo will cover the process of defining bare metal hosts and then review the steps of defining and deploying a bare metal based doctor enterprise cluster. So why bare metal? Firstly, it eliminates hyper visor overhead with performance boost of up to thirty percent. Provides direct access to GP use, prioritize for high performance wear clothes like machine learning and AI, and supports high performance workloads like network functions, virtualization. It also provides a focus on on Prem workloads, simplifying and ensuring we don't need to create the complexity of adding another opera visor. Lay it between so continue on the theme Why Communities and bare metal again Hyper visor overhead. Well, no virtualization overhead. Direct access to hardware items like F p G A s G p us. We can be much more specific about resource is required on the nodes. No need to cater for additional overhead. Uh, we can handle utilization in the scheduling. Better Onda we increase the performances and simplicity of the entire environment as we don't need another virtualization layer. Yeah, In this section will define the BM hosts will create a new project will add the bare metal hosts, including the host name. I put my credentials I pay my address the Mac address on then provide a machine type label to determine what type of machine it is for later use. Okay, let's get started. So well again. Was the operator thing. We'll go and we'll create a project for our machines to be a member off helps with scoping for later on for security. I begin the process of adding machines to that project. Yeah. So the first thing we had to be in post, Yeah, many of the machine A name. Anything you want, que experimental zero one. Provide the IAP my user name type my password. Okay. On the Mac address for the common interface with the boot interface and then the i p m I i p address These machines will be at the time storage worker manager. He's a manager. Yeah, we're gonna add a number of other machines on will. Speed this up just so you could see what the process looks like in the future. Better discovery will be added to the product. Okay. Okay. Getting back there we have it are Six machines have been added, are busy being inspected, being added to the system. Let's have a look at the details of a single note. Yeah, you can see information on the set up of the node. Its capabilities? Yeah. As well as the inventory information about that particular machine. I see. Okay, let's go and create the cluster. Yeah, So we're going to deploy a bare metal child cluster. The process we're going to go through is pretty much the same as any other child cluster. So we'll credit custom. We'll give it a name, but if it were selecting bare metal on the region, we're going to select the version we want to apply. No way. We're going to add this search keys. If we hope we're going to give the load. Balancer host I p that we'd like to use out of dress range on update the address range that we want to use for the cluster. Check that the sea ideal blocks for the Cuban ladies and tunnels are what we want them to be. Enable disabled stack light. Yeah, and soothe stack light settings to find the cluster. And then, as for any other machine, we need to add machines to the cluster. Here. We're focused on building communities clusters, so we're gonna put the count of machines. You want managers? We're gonna pick the label type manager and create three machines is the manager for the Cuban eighties. Casting Okay thing. We're having workers to the same. It's a process. Just making sure that the worker label host level are I'm sorry. On when Wait for the machines to deploy. Let's go through the process of putting the operating system on the notes validating and operating system deploying doctor identifies Make sure that the cluster is up and running and ready to go. Okay, let's review the bold events waken See the machine info now populated with more information about the specifics of things like storage and of course, details of a cluster etcetera. Yeah, yeah, well, now watch the machines go through the various stages from prepared to deploy on what's the cluster build? And that brings us to the end of this particular demo. You can see the process is identical to that of building a normal child cluster we got our complaint is complete. >>All right, so there we have it, deploying a cluster to bare metal. Much the same is how we did for AWS. I guess maybe the biggest different stepwise there is there is that registration face first, right? So rather than just using AWS financials toe magically create PM's in the cloud. You got a point out all your bare metal servers to Dr Enterprise between the cloud and they really come in, I guess three profiles, right? You got your manager profile with a profile storage profile which has been labeled as allocate. Um, crossword cluster has appropriate, >>right? And And I think that the you know, the key differentiator here is that you have more physical control over what, uh, attributes that love your cat, by the way, uh, where you have the different attributes of a server of physical server. So you can, uh, ensure that the SSD configuration on the storage nodes is gonna be taken advantage of in the best way the GP use on the worker nodes and and that the management layer is going to have sufficient horsepower to, um, spin up to to scale up the the environments, as required. One of the things I wanted to mention, though, um, if I could get this out without the choking much better. Um, is that Ah, hey, mentioned the load balancer and I wanted to make sure in defining the load balancer and the load balancer ranges. Um, that is for the top of the the cluster itself. That's the operations of the management, uh, layer integrating with your systems internally to be able to access the the Cube Can figs. I I p address the, uh, in a centralized way. It's not the load balancer that's working within the kubernetes cluster that you are deploying. That's still cube proxy or service mesh, or however you're intending to do it. So, um, it's kind of an interesting step that your initial step in building this, um and we typically use things like metal L B or in gen X or that kind of thing is to establish that before we deploy this bear mental cluster so that it can ride on top of that for the tips and things. >>Very cool. So any other thoughts on what we've seen so far today? Bruce, we've gone through all the different layers. Doctor enterprise container clouds in these videos from our management are regional to our clusters on aws hand bear amount, Of course, with his dad is still available. Closing thoughts before we take just a very short break and run through these demos again. >>You know, I've been very exciting. Ah, doing the presentation with you. I'm really looking forward to doing it the second time, so that we because we've got a good rhythm going about this kind of thing. So I'm looking forward to doing that. But I think that the key elements of what we're trying to convey to the folks out there in the audience that I hope you've gotten out of it is that will that this is an easy enough process that if you follow the step by steps going through the documentation that's been put out in the chat, um, that you'll be able to give this a go yourself, Um, and you don't have to limit yourself toe having physical hardware on prim to try it. You could do it in a ws as we've shown you today. And if you've got some fancy use cases like, uh, you you need a Hadoop And and, uh, you know, cloud oriented ai stuff that providing a bare metal service helps you to get there very fast. So right. Thank you. It's been a pleasure. >>Yeah, thanks everyone for coming out. So, like I said we're going to take a very short, like, three minute break here. Uh, take the opportunity to let your colleagues know if they were in another session or they didn't quite make it to the beginning of this session. Or if you just want to see these demos again, we're going to kick off this demo. Siri's again in just three minutes at ten. Twenty five a. M. Pacific time where we will see all this great stuff again. Let's take a three minute break. I'll see you all back here in just two minutes now, you know. Okay, folks, that's the end of our extremely short break. We'll give people just maybe, like one more minute to trickle in if folks are interested in coming on in and jumping into our demo. Siri's again. Eso For those of you that are just joining us now I'm Bill Mills. I head up curriculum development for the training team here. Moran Tous on Joining me for this session of demos is Bruce. Don't you go ahead and introduce yourself doors, who is still on break? That's cool. We'll give Bruce a minute or two to get back while everyone else trickles back in. There he is. Hello, Bruce. >>How'd that go for you? Okay, >>Very well. So let's kick off our second session here. I e just interest will feel for you. Thio. Let it run over here. >>Alright. Hi. Bruce Matthews here. I'm the Western Regional Solutions architect for Marantz. Use A I'm the one with the gray hair and the glasses. Uh, the handsome one is Bill. So, uh, Bill, take it away. >>Excellent. So over the next hour or so, we've got a Siris of demos that's gonna walk you through your first steps with Dr Enterprise Container Cloud Doctor Enterprise Container Cloud is, of course, Miranda's brand new offering from bootstrapping kubernetes clusters in AWS bare metal open stack. And for the providers in the very near future. So we we've got, you know, just just over an hour left together on this session, uh, if you joined us at the top of the hour back at nine. A. M. Pacific, we went through these demos once already. Let's do them again for everyone else that was only able to jump in right now. Let's go. Our first video where we're gonna install Dr Enterprise container cloud for the very first time and use it to bootstrap management. Cluster Management Cluster, as I like to describe it, is our mother ship that's going to spin up all the other kubernetes clusters, Doctor Enterprise clusters that we're gonna run our workloads on. So I'm gonna do >>I'm so excited. I can hardly wait. >>Let's do it all right to share my video out here. Yeah, let's do it. >>Good day. The focus for this demo will be the initial bootstrap of the management cluster on the first regional clusters. To support AWS deployments, the management cluster provides the core functionality, including identity management, authentication, infantry release version. The regional cluster provides the specific architecture provided in this case AWS and the Elsom components on the UCP cluster Child cluster is the cluster or clusters being deployed and managed. The deployment is broken up into five phases. The first phase is preparing a bootstrap note on its dependencies on handling the download of the bridge struck tools. The second phase is obtaining America's license file. Third phase. Prepare the AWS credentials instead of the ideas environment, the fourth configuring the deployment, defining things like the machine types on the fifth phase, Run the bootstrap script and wait for the deployment to complete. Okay, so here we're sitting up the strap node. Just checking that it's clean and clear and ready to go there. No credentials already set up on that particular note. Now, we're just checking through aws to make sure that the account we want to use we have the correct credentials on the correct roles set up on validating that there are no instances currently set up in easy to instance, not completely necessary, but just helps keep things clean and tidy when I am perspective. Right. So next step, we're just gonna check that we can from the bootstrap note, reach more antis, get to the repositories where the various components of the system are available. They're good. No areas here. Yeah, right now we're going to start sitting at the bootstrap note itself. So we're downloading the cars release, get get cars, script, and then next we're going to run it. Yeah, I've been deployed changing into that big struck folder, just making see what's there right now we have no license file, so we're gonna get the license filed. Okay? Get the license file through more antis downloads site signing up here, downloading that license file and putting it into the Carisbrook struck folder. Okay, since we've done that, we can now go ahead with the rest of the deployment. Yeah, see what the follow is there? Uh huh. Once again, checking that we can now reach E C two, which is extremely important for the deployment. Just validation steps as we move through the process. Alright. Next big step is violating all of our AWS credentials. So the first thing is, we need those route credentials which we're going to export on the command line. This is to create the necessary bootstrap user on AWS credentials for the completion off the deployment we're now running in AWS policy create. So it is part of that is creating our food trucks script. Creating this through policy files onto the AWS, just generally preparing the environment using a cloud formation script, you'll see in a second, I'll give a new policy confirmations just waiting for it to complete. And there is done. It's gonna have a look at the AWS console. You can see that we're creative completed. Now we can go and get the credentials that we created. Good day. I am console. Go to the new user that's being created. We'll go to the section on security credentials and creating new keys. Download that information media access Key I. D and the secret access key, but usually then exported on the command line. Okay, Couple of things to Notre. Ensure that you're using the correct AWS region on ensure that in the conflict file you put the correct Am I in for that region? I'm sure you have it together in a second. Okay, thanks. Is key. So you could X key Right on. Let's kick it off. So this process takes between thirty and forty five minutes. Handles all the AWS dependencies for you. Um, as we go through, the process will show you how you can track it. Andi will start to see things like the running instances being created on the AWS side. The first phase off this whole process happening in the background is the creation of a local kind based bootstrapped cluster on the bootstrap node that clusters then used to deploy and manage all the various instances and configurations within AWS at the end of the process. That cluster is copied into the new cluster on AWS and then shut down that local cluster essentially moving itself over. Yeah, okay. Local clusters boat. Just waiting for the various objects to get ready. Standard communities objects here. Yeah, you mentioned Yeah. So we've speed up this process a little bit just for demonstration purposes. Okay, there we go. So first note is being built the bastion host just jump box that will allow us access to the entire environment. Yeah, In a few seconds, we'll see those instances here in the US console on the right. Um, the failures that you're seeing around failed to get the I. P for Bastian is just the weight state while we wait for AWS to create the instance. Okay. Yeah. Beauty there. Movies. Okay, sketch. Hello? Yeah, Okay. Okay. On. There we go. Question host has been built on three instances for the management clusters have now been created. Okay, We're going through the process of preparing. Those nodes were now copying everything over. See that scaling up of controllers in the big strapped cluster? It's indicating that we're starting all of the controllers in the new question. Almost there. Right? Okay. Just waiting for key. Clark. Uh huh. So finish up. Yeah. No. Now we're shutting down. Control this on the local bootstrap node on preparing our I. D. C configuration, fourth indication. So once this is completed, the last phase will be to deploy stack light into the new cluster, that glass on monitoring tool set, Then we go stack like deployment has started. Mhm. Coming to the end of the deployment mountain. Yeah, they were cut final phase of the deployment. And we are done. Yeah, you'll see. At the end, they're providing us the details of you. I log in. So there's a key Clark log in. Uh, you can modify that initial default possible is part of the configuration set up where they were in the documentation way. Go Councils up way can log in. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you very much for watching. >>All right, so at this point, what we have we got our management cluster spun up, ready to start creating work clusters. So just a couple of points to clarify there to make sure everyone caught that, uh, as advertised. That's darker. Enterprise container cloud management cluster. That's not rework loans. are gonna go right? That is the tool and you're gonna use to start spinning up downstream commodity documentary prize clusters for bootstrapping record too. >>And the seed host that were, uh, talking about the kind cluster dingy actually doesn't have to exist after the bootstrap succeeds eso It's sort of like, uh, copies head from the seed host Toothy targets in AWS spins it up it then boots the the actual clusters and then it goes away too, because it's no longer necessary >>so that bootstrapping know that there's not really any requirements, Hardly on that, right. It just has to be able to reach aws hit that Hit that a p I to spin up those easy to instances because, as you just said, it's just a kubernetes in docker cluster on that piece. Drop note is just gonna get torn down after the set up finishes on. You no longer need that. Everything you're gonna do, you're gonna drive from the single pane of glass provided to you by your management cluster Doctor enterprise Continue cloud. Another thing that I think is sort of interesting their eyes that the convict is fairly minimal. Really? You just need to provide it like aws regions. Um, am I? And that's what is going to spin up that spending that matter faster. >>Right? There is a mammal file in the bootstrap directory itself, and all of the necessary parameters that you would fill in have default set. But you have the option then of going in and defining a different Am I different for a different region, for example? Oh, are different. Size of instance from AWS. >>One thing that people often ask about is the cluster footprint. And so that example you saw they were spitting up a three manager, um, managing cluster as mandatory, right? No single manager set up at all. We want high availability for doctrine Enterprise Container Cloud management. Like so again, just to make sure everyone sort of on board with the life cycle stage that we're at right now. That's the very first thing you're going to do to set up Dr Enterprise Container Cloud. You're going to do it. Hopefully exactly once. Right now, you've got your management cluster running, and they're gonna use that to spend up all your other work clusters Day today has has needed How do we just have a quick look at the questions and then lets take a look at spinning up some of those child clusters. >>Okay, e think they've actually been answered? >>Yeah, for the most part. One thing I'll point out that came up again in the Dail, helpfully pointed out earlier in surgery, pointed out again, is that if you want to try any of the stuff yourself, it's all of the dogs. And so have a look at the chat. There's a links to instructions, so step by step instructions to do each and every thing we're doing here today yourself. I really encourage you to do that. Taking this out for a drive on your own really helps internalizing communicate these ideas after the after launch pad today, Please give this stuff try on your machines. Okay, So at this point, like I said, we've got our management cluster. We're not gonna run workloads there that we're going to start creating child clusters. That's where all of our work and we're gonna go. That's what we're gonna learn how to do in our next video. Cue that up for us. >>I so love Shawn's voice. >>Wasn't that all day? >>Yeah, I watched him read the phone book. >>All right, here we go. Let's now that we have our management cluster set up, let's create a first child work cluster. >>Hello. In this demo, we will cover the deployment experience of creating a new child cluster the scaling of the cluster on how to update the cluster. When a new version is available, we begin the process by logging onto the you I as a normal user called Mary. Let's go through the navigation of the u I. So you can switch Project Mary only has access to development. Uh huh. Get a list of the available projects that you have access to. What clusters have been deployed at the moment there. Man. Yes, this H keys, Associate ID for Mary into her team on the cloud credentials that allow you to create or access the various clouds that you can deploy clusters to finally different releases that are available to us. We can switch from dark mode to light mode, depending on your preferences. Right. Let's now set up some ssh keys for Mary so she can access the notes and machines again. Very simply, had Mississippi key give it a name. We copy and paste our public key into the upload key block. Or we can upload the key if we have the file available on our machine. A very simple process. So to create a new cluster, we define the cluster ad management nodes and add worker nodes to the cluster. Yeah, again, very simply, we got the clusters tab we had to create cluster button. Give the cluster name. Yeah, Andi, select the provider. We only have access to AWS in this particular deployment, so we'll stick to AWS. What's like the region in this case? US West one released version five point seven is the current release Onda Attach. Mary's Key is necessary key. We can then check the rest of the settings, confirming the provider any kubernetes c r D a r i p address information. We can change this. Should we wish to? We'll leave it default for now and then what components of stack light? I would like to deploy into my custom for this. I'm enabling stack light on logging, and I consider the retention sizes attention times on. Even at this stage, add any custom alerts for the watchdogs. Consider email alerting which I will need my smart host. Details and authentication details. Andi Slack Alerts. Now I'm defining the cluster. All that's happened is the cluster's been defined. I now need to add machines to that cluster. I'll begin by clicking the create machine button within the cluster definition. Oh, select manager, Select the number of machines. Three is the minimum. Select the instant size that I'd like to use from AWS and very importantly, ensure correct. Use the correct Am I for the region. I convinced side on the route. Device size. There we go. My three machines are busy creating. I now need to add some workers to this cluster. So I go through the same process this time once again, just selecting worker. I'll just add to once again the am I is extremely important. Will fail if we don't pick the right. Am I for a Clinton machine? In this case and the deployment has started, we can go and check on the bold status are going back to the clusters screen on clicking on the little three dots on the right. We get the cluster info and the events, so the basic cluster info you'll see pending their listen. Cluster is still in the process of being built. We kick on, the events will get a list of actions that have been completed This part of the set up of the cluster. So you can see here. We've created the VPC. We've created the sub nets on. We've created the Internet Gateway. It's unnecessary made of us. And we have no warnings of the stage. Okay, this will then run for a while. We have one minute past. We can click through. We can check the status of the machine balls as individuals so we can check the machine info, details of the machines that we've assigned mhm and see any events pertaining to the machine areas like this one on normal. Yeah. Just last. The community's components are waiting for the machines to start. Go back to customers. Okay, right. Because we're moving ahead now. We can see we have it in progress. Five minutes in new Matt Gateway. And at this stage, the machines have been built on assigned. I pick up the U S. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go. Machine has been created. See the event detail and the AWS. I'd for that machine. No speeding things up a little bit this whole process and to end takes about fifteen minutes. Run the clock forward, you'll notice is the machines continue to bold the in progress. We'll go from in progress to ready. A soon as we got ready on all three machines, the managers on both workers way could go on and we could see that now we reached the point where the cluster itself is being configured mhm and then we go. Cluster has been deployed. So once the classes deployed, we can now never get around. Our environment are looking into configure cluster. We could modify their cluster. We could get the end points for alert Alert Manager See here the griffon occupying and Prometheus are still building in the background but the cluster is available on You would be able to put workloads on it at this stage to download the cube conflict so that I can put workloads on it. It's again the three little dots in the right for that particular cluster. If the download cube conflict give it my password, I now have the Q conflict file necessary so that I can access that cluster. All right, Now that the build is fully completed, we can check out cluster info on. We can see that all the satellite components have been built. All the storage is there, and we have access to the CPU. I. So if we click into the cluster, we can access the UCP dashboard, click the signing with the clock button to use the SSO. We give Mary's possible to use the name once again. Thing is an unlicensed cluster way could license at this point. Or just skip it on. Do we have the UCP dashboard? You could see that has been up for a little while. We have some data on the dashboard going back to the console. We can now go to the griffon. A data just been automatically pre configured for us. We can switch and utilized a number of different dashboards that have already been instrumented within the cluster. So, for example, communities cluster information, the name spaces, deployments, nodes. Um, so we look at nodes. If we could get a view of the resource is utilization of Mrs Custer is very little running in it. Yeah, a general dashboard of Cuba Navies cluster. What If this is configurable, you can modify these for your own needs, or add your own dashboards on de scoped to the cluster. So it is available to all users who have access to this specific cluster. All right to scale the cluster on to add a No. This is simple. Is the process of adding a mode to the cluster, assuming we've done that in the first place. So we go to the cluster, go into the details for the cluster we select, create machine. Once again, we need to be ensure that we put the correct am I in and any other functions we like. You can create different sized machines so it could be a larger node. Could be bigger group disks and you'll see that worker has been added in the provisioning state. On shortly, we will see the detail off that worker as a complete to remove a note from a cluster. Once again, we're going to the cluster. We select the node we would like to remove. Okay, I just hit delete On that note. Worker nodes will be removed from the cluster using according and drawing method to ensure that your workloads are not affected. Updating a cluster. When an update is available in the menu for that particular cluster, the update button will become available. And it's a simple as clicking the button validating which release you would like to update to this case. This available releases five point seven point one give you I'm kicking the update back in the background. We will coordinate. Drain each node slowly, go through the process of updating it. Andi update will complete depending on what the update is as quickly as possible. Who we go. The notes being rebuilt in this case impacted the manager node. So one of the manager nodes is in the process of being rebuilt. In fact, to in this case, one has completed already. Yeah, and in a few minutes, we'll see that the upgrade has been completed. There we go. Great. Done. If you work loads of both using proper cloud native community standards, there will be no impact. >>All right, there. We haven't. We got our first workload cluster spun up and managed by Dr Enterprise Container Cloud. So I I loved Shawn's classic warning there. When you're spinning up an actual doctor enterprise deployment, you see little errors and warnings popping up. Just don't touch it. Just leave it alone and let Dr Enterprises self healing properties take care of all those very transient temporary glitches, resolve themselves and leave you with a functioning workload cluster within victims. >>And now, if you think about it that that video was not very long at all. And that's how long it would take you if someone came into you and said, Hey, can you spend up a kubernetes cluster for development development A. Over here, um, it literally would take you a few minutes to thio Accomplish that. And that was with a W s. Obviously, which is sort of, ah, transient resource in the cloud. But you could do exactly the same thing with resource is on Prem or resource is, um physical resource is and will be going through that later in the process. >>Yeah, absolutely one thing that is present in that demo, but that I like to highlight a little bit more because it just kind of glides by Is this notion of, ah, cluster release? So when Sean was creating that cluster, and also when when he was upgrading that cluster, he had to choose a release. What does that didn't really explain? What does that mean? Well, in Dr Enterprise Container Cloud, we have released numbers that capture the entire staff of container ization tools that will be deploying to that workload costume. So that's your version of kubernetes sed cor DNs calico. Doctor Engineer. All the different bits and pieces that not only work independently but are validated toe work together as a staff appropriate for production, humanities, adopted enterprise environments. >>Yep. From the bottom of the stack to the top, we actually test it for scale. Test it for CVS, test it for all of the various things that would, you know, result in issues with you running the application services. And I've got to tell you from having, you know, managed kubernetes deployments and things like that that if you're the one doing it yourself, it can get rather messy. Eso This makes it easy. >>Bruce, you were staying a second ago. They I'll take you at least fifteen minutes to install your release. Custer. Well, sure, but what would all the other bits and pieces you need toe? Not just It's not just about pressing the button to install it, right? It's making the right decision. About what components work? Well, our best tested toe be successful working together has a staff? Absolutely. We this release mechanism and Dr Enterprise Container Cloud. Let's just kind of package up that expert knowledge and make it available in a really straightforward, fashionable species. Uh, pre Confederate release numbers and Bruce is you're pointing out earlier. He's got delivered to us is updates kind of transparent period. When when? When Sean wanted toe update that cluster, he created little update. Custer Button appeared when an update was available. All you gotta do is click. It tells you what Here's your new stack of communities components. It goes ahead. And the straps those components for you? >>Yeah, it actually even displays at the top of the screen. Ah, little header That says you've got an update available. Do you want me to apply? It s o >>Absolutely. Another couple of cool things. I think that are easy to miss in that demo was I really like the on board Bafana that comes along with this stack. So we've been Prometheus Metrics and Dr Enterprise for years and years now. They're very high level. Maybe in in previous versions of Dr Enterprise having those detailed dashboards that Ravana provides, I think that's a great value out there. People always wanted to be ableto zoom in a little bit on that, uh, on those cluster metrics, you're gonna provides them out of the box for us. Yeah, >>that was Ah, really, uh, you know, the joining of the Miranda's and Dr teams together actually spawned us to be able to take the best of what Morantes had in the open stack environment for monitoring and logging and alerting and to do that integration in in a very short period of time so that now we've got it straight across the board for both the kubernetes world and the open stack world. Using the same tool sets >>warm. One other thing I wanna point out about that demo that I think there was some questions about our last go around was that demo was all about creating a managed workplace cluster. So the doctor enterprise Container Cloud managers were using those aws credentials provisioned it toe actually create new e c two instances installed Docker engine stalled. Doctor Enterprise. Remember all that stuff on top of those fresh new VM created and managed by Dr Enterprise contain the cloud. Nothing unique about that. AWS deployments do that on open staff doing on Parramatta stuff as well. Um, there's another flavor here, though in a way to do this for all of our long time doctor Enterprise customers that have been running Doctor Enterprise for years and years. Now, if you got existing UCP points existing doctor enterprise deployments, you plug those in to Dr Enterprise Container Cloud, uh, and use darker enterprise between the cloud to manage those pre existing Oh, working clusters. You don't always have to be strapping straight from Dr Enterprises. Plug in external clusters is bad. >>Yep, the the Cube config elements of the UCP environment. The bundling capability actually gives us a very straightforward methodology. And there's instructions on our website for exactly how thio, uh, bring in import and you see p cluster. Um so it it makes very convenient for our existing customers to take advantage of this new release. >>Absolutely cool. More thoughts on this wonders if we jump onto the next video. >>I think we should move press on >>time marches on here. So let's Let's carry on. So just to recap where we are right now, first video, we create a management cluster. That's what we're gonna use to create All our downstream were closed clusters, which is what we did in this video. Let's maybe the simplest architectures, because that's doing everything in one region on AWS pretty common use case because we want to be able to spin up workload clusters across many regions. And so to do that, we're gonna add a third layer in between the management and work cluster layers. That's gonna be our regional cluster managers. So this is gonna be, uh, our regional management cluster that exists per region that we're going to manage those regional managers will be than the ones responsible for spending part clusters across all these different regions. Let's see it in action in our next video. >>Hello. In this demo, we will cover the deployment of additional regional management. Cluster will include a brief architectural overview, how to set up the management environment, prepare for the deployment deployment overview, and then just to prove it, to play a regional child cluster. So looking at the overall architecture, the management cluster provides all the core functionality, including identity management, authentication, inventory and release version. ING Regional Cluster provides the specific architecture provider in this case, AWS on the L C M components on the d you speak cluster for child cluster is the cluster or clusters being deployed and managed? Okay, so why do you need original cluster? Different platform architectures, for example AWS open stack, even bare metal to simplify connectivity across multiple regions handle complexities like VPNs or one way connectivity through firewalls, but also help clarify availability zones. Yeah. Here we have a view of the regional cluster and how it connects to the management cluster on their components, including items like the LCN cluster Manager. We also machine manager. We're hell Mandel are managed as well as the actual provider logic. Okay, we'll begin by logging on Is the default administrative user writer. Okay, once we're in there, we'll have a look at the available clusters making sure we switch to the default project which contains the administration clusters. Here we can see the cars management cluster, which is the master controller. When you see it only has three nodes, three managers, no workers. Okay, if we look at another regional cluster, similar to what we're going to deploy now. Also only has three managers once again, no workers. But as a comparison is a child cluster. This one has three managers, but also has additional workers associate it to the cluster. Yeah, all right, we need to connect. Tell bootstrap note, preferably the same note that used to create the original management plaster. It's just on AWS, but I still want to machine Mhm. All right, A few things we have to do to make sure the environment is ready. First thing we're gonna pseudo into route. I mean, we'll go into our releases folder where we have the car's boot strap on. This was the original bootstrap used to build the original management cluster. We're going to double check to make sure our cube con figures there It's again. The one created after the original customers created just double check. That cute conflict is the correct one. Does point to the management cluster. We're just checking to make sure that we can reach the images that everything's working, condone, load our images waken access to a swell. Yeah, Next, we're gonna edit the machine definitions what we're doing here is ensuring that for this cluster we have the right machine definitions, including items like the am I So that's found under the templates AWS directory. We don't need to edit anything else here, but we could change items like the size of the machines attempts we want to use but the key items to ensure where changed the am I reference for the junta image is the one for the region in this case aws region of re utilizing. This was an open stack deployment. We have to make sure we're pointing in the correct open stack images. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Sit the correct Am I save the file? Yeah. We need to get up credentials again. When we originally created the bootstrap cluster, we got credentials made of the U. S. If we hadn't done this, we would need to go through the u A. W s set up. So we just exporting AWS access key and I d. What's important is Kaz aws enabled equals. True. Now we're sitting the region for the new regional cluster. In this case, it's Frankfurt on exporting our Q conflict that we want to use for the management cluster when we looked at earlier. Yeah, now we're exporting that. Want to call? The cluster region is Frankfurt's Socrates Frankfurt yet trying to use something descriptive? It's easy to identify. Yeah, and then after this, we'll just run the bootstrap script, which will complete the deployment for us. Bootstrap of the regional cluster is quite a bit quicker than the initial management clusters. There are fewer components to be deployed, but to make it watchable, we've spent it up. So we're preparing our bootstrap cluster on the local bootstrap node. Almost ready on. We started preparing the instances at us and waiting for the past, you know, to get started. Please the best your node, onda. We're also starting to build the actual management machines they're now provisioning on. We've reached the point where they're actually starting to deploy Dr Enterprise, he says. Probably the longest face we'll see in a second that all the nodes will go from the player deployed. Prepare, prepare Mhm. We'll see. Their status changes updates. It was the first word ready. Second, just applying second. Grady, both my time away from home control that's become ready. Removing cluster the management cluster from the bootstrap instance into the new cluster running a data for us? Yeah, almost a on. Now we're playing Stockland. Thanks. Whichever is done on Done. Now we'll build a child cluster in the new region very, very quickly. Find the cluster will pick our new credential have shown up. We'll just call it Frankfurt for simplicity. A key on customers to find. That's the machine. That cluster stop with three manages set the correct Am I for the region? Yeah, Same to add workers. There we go. That's the building. Yeah. Total bill of time. Should be about fifteen minutes. Concedes in progress. Can we expect this up a little bit? Check the events. We've created all the dependencies, machine instances, machines. A boat? Yeah. Shortly. We should have a working caster in the Frankfurt region. Now almost a one note is ready from management. Two in progress. On we're done. Trust us up and running. >>Excellent. There we have it. We've got our three layered doctor enterprise container cloud structure in place now with our management cluster in which we scrap everything else. Our regional clusters which manage individual aws regions and child clusters sitting over depends. >>Yeah, you can. You know you can actually see in the hierarchy the advantages that that presents for folks who have multiple locations where they'd like a geographic locations where they'd like to distribute their clusters so that you can access them or readily co resident with your development teams. Um and, uh, one of the other things I think that's really unique about it is that we provide that same operational support system capability throughout. So you've got stack light monitoring the stack light that's monitoring the stack light down to the actual child clusters that they have >>all through that single pane of glass that shows you all your different clusters, whether their workload cluster like what the child clusters or usual clusters from managing different regions. Cool. Alright, well, time marches on your folks. We've only got a few minutes left and I got one more video in our last video for the session. We're gonna walk through standing up a child cluster on bare metal. So so far, everything we've seen so far has been aws focus. Just because it's kind of easy to make that was on AWS. We don't want to leave you with the impression that that's all we do, we're covering AWS bare metal and open step deployments as well documented Craftsman Cloud. Let's see it in action with a bare metal child cluster. >>We are on the home stretch, >>right. >>Hello. This demo will cover the process of defining bare metal hosts and then review the steps of defining and deploying a bare metal based doctor enterprise cluster. Yeah, so why bare metal? Firstly, it eliminates hyper visor overhead with performance boost of up to thirty percent provides direct access to GP use, prioritize for high performance wear clothes like machine learning and AI, and support high performance workouts like network functions, virtualization. It also provides a focus on on Prem workloads, simplifying and ensuring we don't need to create the complexity of adding another hyper visor layer in between. So continuing on the theme Why communities and bare metal again Hyper visor overhead. Well, no virtualization overhead. Direct access to hardware items like F p g A s G p, us. We can be much more specific about resource is required on the nodes. No need to cater for additional overhead. We can handle utilization in the scheduling better Onda. We increase the performance and simplicity of the entire environment as we don't need another virtualization layer. Yeah, In this section will define the BM hosts will create a new project. Will add the bare metal hosts, including the host name. I put my credentials. I pay my address, Mac address on, then provide a machine type label to determine what type of machine it is. Related use. Okay, let's get started Certain Blufgan was the operator thing. We'll go and we'll create a project for our machines to be a member off. Helps with scoping for later on for security. I begin the process of adding machines to that project. Yeah. Yeah. So the first thing we had to be in post many of the machine a name. Anything you want? Yeah, in this case by mental zero one. Provide the IAP My user name. Type my password? Yeah. On the Mac address for the active, my interface with boot interface and then the i p m i P address. Yeah, these machines. We have the time storage worker manager. He's a manager. We're gonna add a number of other machines on will speed this up just so you could see what the process. Looks like in the future, better discovery will be added to the product. Okay, Okay. Getting back there. We haven't Are Six machines have been added. Are busy being inspected, being added to the system. Let's have a look at the details of a single note. Mhm. We can see information on the set up of the node. Its capabilities? Yeah. As well as the inventory information about that particular machine. Okay, it's going to create the cluster. Mhm. Okay, so we're going to deploy a bare metal child cluster. The process we're going to go through is pretty much the same as any other child cluster. So credit custom. We'll give it a name. Thank you. But he thought were selecting bare metal on the region. We're going to select the version we want to apply on. We're going to add this search keys. If we hope we're going to give the load. Balancer host I p that we'd like to use out of the dress range update the address range that we want to use for the cluster. Check that the sea idea blocks for the communities and tunnels are what we want them to be. Enable disabled stack light and said the stack light settings to find the cluster. And then, as for any other machine, we need to add machines to the cluster. Here we're focused on building communities clusters. So we're gonna put the count of machines. You want managers? We're gonna pick the label type manager on create three machines. Is a manager for the Cuban a disgusting? Yeah, they were having workers to the same. It's a process. Just making sure that the worker label host like you are so yes, on Duin wait for the machines to deploy. Let's go through the process of putting the operating system on the notes, validating that operating system. Deploying Docker enterprise on making sure that the cluster is up and running ready to go. Okay, let's review the bold events. We can see the machine info now populated with more information about the specifics of things like storage. Yeah, of course. Details of a cluster, etcetera. Yeah, Yeah. Okay. Well, now watch the machines go through the various stages from prepared to deploy on what's the cluster build, and that brings us to the end of this particular do my as you can see the process is identical to that of building a normal child cluster we got our complaint is complete. >>Here we have a child cluster on bare metal for folks that wanted to play the stuff on Prem. >>It's ah been an interesting journey taken from the mothership as we started out building ah management cluster and then populating it with a child cluster and then finally creating a regional cluster to spread the geographically the management of our clusters and finally to provide a platform for supporting, you know, ai needs and and big Data needs, uh, you know, thank goodness we're now able to put things like Hadoop on, uh, bare metal thio in containers were pretty exciting. >>Yeah, absolutely. So with this Doctor Enterprise container cloud platform. Hopefully this commoditized scooping clusters, doctor enterprise clusters that could be spun up and use quickly taking provisioning times. You know, from however many months to get new clusters spun up for our teams. Two minutes, right. We saw those clusters gets better. Just a couple of minutes. Excellent. All right, well, thank you, everyone, for joining us for our demo session for Dr Enterprise Container Cloud. Of course, there's many many more things to discuss about this and all of Miranda's products. If you'd like to learn more, if you'd like to get your hands dirty with all of this content, police see us a training don Miranda's dot com, where we can offer you workshops and a number of different formats on our entire line of products and hands on interactive fashion. Thanks, everyone. Enjoy the rest of the launchpad of that >>thank you all enjoy.

SUMMARY :

So for the next couple of hours, I'm the Western regional Solutions architect for Moran At least somebody on the call knows something about your enterprise Computer club. And that's really the key to this thing is to provide some, you know, many training clusters so that by the end of the tutorial content today, I think that's that's pretty much what we had to nail down here. So the management costs was always We have to give this brief little pause of the management cluster in the first regional clusters to support AWS deployments. So in that video are wonderful field CTO Shauna Vera bootstrapped So primarily the foundation for being able to deploy So this cluster isn't yet for workloads. Read the phone book, So and just to make sure I understood The output that when it says I'm pivoting, I'm pivoting from on the bootstrap er go away afterwards. So that there's no dependencies on any of the clouds that get created thereafter. Yeah, that actually reminds me of how we bootstrapped doctor enterprise back in the day, The config file that that's generated the template is fairly straightforward We always insist on high availability for this management cluster the scenes without you having toe worry about it as a developer. Examples of that is the day goes on. either the the regional cluster or a We've got the management cluster, and we're gonna go straight with child cluster. as opposed to having to centralize thumb So just head on in, head on into the docks like the Dale provided here. That's going to be in a very near term I didn't wanna make promises for product, but I'm not too surprised that she's gonna be targeted. No, just that the fact that we're running through these individual So let's go to that video and see just how We can check the status of the machine bulls as individuals so we can check the machine the thing that jumped out to me at first Waas like the inputs that go into defining Yeah, and and And that's really the focus of our effort is to ensure that So at that point, once we started creating that workload child cluster, of course, we bootstrapped good old of the bootstrapping as well that the processes themselves are self healing, And the worst thing you could do is panic at the first warning and start tearing things that don't that then go out to touch slack and say hi, You need to watch your disk But Sean mentioned it on the video. And And the kubernetes, uh, scaling methodology is is he adhered So should we go to the questions. Um, that's kind of the point, right? you know, set up things and deploy your applications and things. that comes to us not from Dr Enterprise Container Cloud, but just from the underlying kubernetes distribution. to the standards that we would want to set to make sure that we're not overloading On the next video, we're gonna learn how to spin up a Yeah, Do the same to add workers. We got that management cluster that we do strapped in the first video. Yeah, that's the key to this is to be able to have co resident with So we don't have to go back to the mother ship. So it's just one pane of glass to the bootstrapped cluster of the regional services. and another, you know, detail for those that have sharp eyes. Let's take a quick peek of the questions here, see if there's anything we want to call out, then we move on to our last want all of the other major players in the cloud arena. Let's jump into our last video in the Siri's, So the first thing we had to be in post, Yeah, many of the machine A name. Much the same is how we did for AWS. nodes and and that the management layer is going to have sufficient horsepower to, are regional to our clusters on aws hand bear amount, Of course, with his dad is still available. that's been put out in the chat, um, that you'll be able to give this a go yourself, Uh, take the opportunity to let your colleagues know if they were in another session I e just interest will feel for you. Use A I'm the one with the gray hair and the glasses. And for the providers in the very near future. I can hardly wait. Let's do it all right to share my video So the first thing is, we need those route credentials which we're going to export on the command That is the tool and you're gonna use to start spinning up downstream It just has to be able to reach aws hit that Hit that a p I to spin up those easy to instances because, and all of the necessary parameters that you would fill in have That's the very first thing you're going to Yeah, for the most part. Let's now that we have our management cluster set up, let's create a first We can check the status of the machine balls as individuals so we can check the glitches, resolve themselves and leave you with a functioning workload cluster within exactly the same thing with resource is on Prem or resource is, All the different bits and pieces And I've got to tell you from having, you know, managed kubernetes And the straps those components for you? Yeah, it actually even displays at the top of the screen. I really like the on board Bafana that comes along with this stack. the best of what Morantes had in the open stack environment for monitoring and logging So the doctor enterprise Container Cloud managers were Yep, the the Cube config elements of the UCP environment. More thoughts on this wonders if we jump onto the next video. Let's maybe the simplest architectures, of the regional cluster and how it connects to the management cluster on their components, There we have it. that we provide that same operational support system capability Just because it's kind of easy to make that was on AWS. Just making sure that the worker label host like you are so yes, It's ah been an interesting journey taken from the mothership Enjoy the rest of the launchpad

>>Welcome everyone. Good morning. Good evening to all of you around the world. I am so excited to welcome you to launch bad our annual conference for customers, for partners, for our own colleagues here at Mirandes. This is meant to be a forum for learning, for sharing for discovery. One of openness. We're incredibly excited. Do you have you here with us? I want to take a few minutes this morning and opened the conference and share with you first and foremost where we're going as a company. What is our vision then? I also want to share with you on update on what we have been up to you for the past year. Especially with two important acquisitions, Doc Enterprise and then container and lens. And what are some of the latest developments at Mirandes? And then I'll close also with an exciting announcement that we have today, which we hope is going to be interesting and valuable for all of you. But let me start with our mission. What are we here to Dio? It's very simple. We want to help you the ship code faster. This is something that we're very excited about, something that we have achieved for many of you around the world. And we just want thio double down on. We feel this is a mission that's very much worthwhile and relevant and important to you. Now, how do we do that? How do we help you ship code faster? There are three things we believe in. We believe in this world of cloud. Um, choice is incredibly important. We all know that developers want to use the latest tools. We all know that cloud technology is evolving very quickly and new innovations appear, um, very, very quickly, and we want to make them available to you. So choice is very important. At the same time, consuming choice can be difficult. So our mission is to make choice simple for you to give developers and operators simplicity and then finally underpinning everything that we dio is security. These are the three big things that we invest in and that we believe that choice, simplicity and security and the foundation technology that we're betting on to make that happen for you is kubernetes many of you, many of our customers use kubernetes from your aunties today and they use it at scale. And this is something we want to double down on the fundamental benefit. The our key promise we want to deliver for you is Speed. And we feel this is very relevant and important and and valuable in the world that we are in today. So you might also be interested in what have been our priorities since we acquired Doc Enterprise. What has happened for the past year at Miranda's And there are three very important things we focused on as a company. The first one is customer success. Um, when we acquired Doc Enterprise, the first thing we did is listen to you connect with the most important customers and find out what was your sentiment. What did you like? What were you concerned about? What needed to improve? How can we create more value and a better experience for you? So, customers success has been a top of our list of priorities ever since. And here is what we've heard here is what you've told us. You've told us that you very much appreciated the technology that you got a lot of value out of the technology, but that at the same time, there are some things that we can do better. Specifically, you wanted better. Sele's better support experience. You also wanted more clarity on the road map. You also wanted to have a deeper alignment and a deeper relationship between your needs and your requirements and our our technical development that keep people in our development organization are most important engineers. So those three things are were very, very important to you and they were very important to us here. So we've taken that to heart and over the past 12 months, we believe, as a team, we have dramatically improved the customer support experience. We introduced new SLS with prod care. We've rolled out a roadmap to many many of our customers. We've taken your requirements of the consideration and we've built better and deeper relationships with so many of you. And the evidence for that that we've actually made some progress is in a significant increase off the work clothes and in usage of all platforms. I was so fortunate that we were able to build better and stronger relationships and take you to the next level of growth for companies like Visa like soc T general, like nationwide, like Bosch, like Axa X l like GlaxoSmithKline, like standard and Poor's, like Apple A TNT. So many, many off you, Many of all customers around the world, I believe over the past 12 months have experienced better, better, better support strong s L. A s a deeper relationship and a lot more clarity on our roadmap and our vision forward. The second very big priority for us over the last year has been product innovation. This is something that we are very excited about that we've invested. Most of our resource is in, and we've delivered some strong proof points. Doc Enterprise 3.1 has been the first release that we have shipped. Um, as Mirant is as the unified company, Um, it's had some big innovative features or Windows support or a I and machine learning use cases and a significant number off improvements in stability and scalability earlier this year. We're very excited to have a quiet lens and container team, which is by far the most popular kubernetes. I'd, um, in the world today and every day, 600 new users are starting to use lens to manage the community's clusters to deploy applications on top of communities and to dramatically simplify the experience for communities for operators and developers alike. That is a very big step forward for us as a company. And then finally, this week at this conference, we announcing our latest product, which we believe is a huge step forward for Doc Enterprise and which we call Doc Enterprise, Container Cloud, and you will hear a lot more about that during this conference. The third vector of development, the third priority for us as a company over the past year was to become mawr and Mawr developer centric. As we've seen over the past 10 years, developers really move the world forward. They create innovation, they create new software. And while our platform is often managed and run and maybe even purchased by RT architects and operators and I T departments, the actual end users are developers. And we made it our mission a za company, to become closer and closer to developers to better understand their needs and to make our technology as easy and fast to consume as possible for developers. So as a company, we're becoming more and more developers centric, really. The two core products which fit together extremely well to make that happen, or lens, which is targeted squarely at a new breed off kubernetes developers sitting on the desktop and managing communities, environments and the applications on top on any cloud platform anywhere and then DACA enterprise contain a cloud which is a new and radically innovative, contain a platform which we're bringing to market this week. So with this a za background, what is the fundamental problem which we solve for you, for our customers? What is it that we feel are are your pain points that can help you resolve? We see too very, very big trends in the world today, which you are experiencing. On one side, we see the power of cloud emerging with more features mawr innovation, more capabilities coming to market every day. But with those new features and new innovations, there is also an exponential growth in cloud complexity and that cloud complexity is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate for developers and operators alike. And at the same time, we see the pace of change in the economy continuing to accelerate on bits in the economy and in the technology as well. So when you put these two things together on one hand, you have MAWR and Mawr complexity. On the other hand, you have fast and faster change. This makes for a very, very daunting task for enterprises, developers and operators to actually keep up and move with speed. And this is exactly the central problem that we want to solve for you. We want to empower you to move with speed in the middle off rising complexity and change and do it successfully and with confidence. So with that in mind, we are announcing this week at LAUNCHPAD a big and new concept to take the company forward and take you with us to create value for you. And we call this your cloud everywhere, which empowers you to ship code faster. Dr. Enterprise Container Cloud is a lynch bit off your cloud everywhere. It's a radical and new container platform, which gives you our customers a consistent experience on public clouds and private clouds alike, which enables you to ship code faster on any infrastructure, anywhere with a cohesive cloud fabric that meets your security standards that offers a choice or private and public clouds and offer you a offers you a simple, an extremely easy and powerful to use experience. for developers. All of this is, um, underpinned by kubernetes as the foundation technology we're betting on forward to help you achieve your goals at the same time. Lens kubernetes e. It's also very, very well into the real cloud. Every concept, and it's a second very strong linchpin to take us forward because it creates the developing experience. It supports developers directly on their desktop, enabling them Thio manage communities workloads to test, develop and run communities applications on any infrastructure anywhere. So Doc, Enterprise, Container, Cloud and Lens complement each other perfectly. So I'm very, very excited to share this with you today and opened the conference for you. And with this I want to turn it over to my colleague Adam Parker, who runs product development at Mirandes to share a lot more detail about Doc Enterprise Container Cloud. Why we're excited about it. Why we feel is a radical step forward to you and why we feel it can add so much value to your developers and operators who want to embrace the latest kubernetes technology and the latest container technology on any platform anywhere. I look forward to connecting with you during the conference and we should all the best. Bye bye. >>Thanks, Adrian. My name is Adam Parco, and I am vice president of engineering and product development at Mirant ISS. I'm extremely excited to be here today And to present to you Dr Enterprise Container Cloud Doc Enterprise Container Cloud is a major leap forward. It Turpal charges are platform. It is your cloud everywhere. It has been completely designed and built around helping you to ship code faster. The world is moving incredibly quick. We have seen unpredictable and rapid changes. It is the goal of Docker Enterprise Container Cloud to help navigate this insanity by focusing on speed and efficiency. To do this requires three major pillars choice, simplicity and security. The less time between a line of code being written and that line of code running in production the better. When you decrease that cycle, time developers are more productive, efficient and happy. The code is higher, quality contains less defects, and when bugs are found are fixed quicker and more easily. And in turn, your customers get more value sooner and more often. Increasing speed and improving developer efficiency is paramount. To do this, you need to be able to cycle through coding, running, testing, releasing and monitoring all without friction. We enabled us by offering containers as a service through a consistent, cloudlike experience. Developers can log into Dr Enterprise Container Cloud and, through self service, create a cluster No I T. Tickets. No industry specific experience required. Need a place to run. A workload simply created nothing quicker than that. The clusters air presented consistently no matter where they're created, integrate your pipelines and start deploying secure images everywhere. Instantly. You can't have cloud speed if you start to get bogged down by managing, so we offer fully automated lifecycle management. Let's jump into the details of how we achieve cloud speed. The first is cloud choice developers. Operators add mons users they all want. In fact, mandate choice choice is extremely important in efficiency, speed and ultimately the value created. You have cloud choice throughout the full stack. Choice allows developers and operators to use the tooling and services their most familiar with most efficient with or perhaps simply allows them to integrate with any existing tools and services already in use, allowing them to integrate and move on. Doc Enterprise Container Cloud isn't constructive. It's open and flexible. The next important choice we offer is an orchestration. We hear time and time again from our customers that they love swarm. That's simply enough for the majority of their applications. And that just works that they have skills and knowledge to effectively use it. They don't need to be or find coop experts to get immediate value, so we will absolutely continue to offer this choice and orchestration. Our existing customers could rest assure their workloads will continue to run. Great as always. On the other hand, we can't ignore the popularity that growth, the enthusiasm and community ecosystem that has exploded with communities. So we will also be including a fully conforming, tested and certified kubernetes going down the stock. You can't have choice or speed without your choice and operating system. This ties back to developer efficiency. We want developers to be able to leverage their operating system of choice, were initially supporting full stack lifecycle management for a bun, too, with other operating systems like red hat to follow shortly. Lastly, all the way down at the bottom of stack is your choice in infrastructure choice and infrastructure is in our DNA. We have always promoted no locking and flexibility to run where needed initially were supporting open stock AWS and full life cycle management of bare metal. We also have a road map for VM Ware and other public cloud providers. We know there's no single solution for the unique and complex requirements our customers have. This is why we're doubling down on being the most open platform. We want you to truly make this your cloud. If done wrong, all this choice at speed could have been extremely complex. This is where cloud simplification comes in. We offer a simple and consistent as a service cloud experience, from installation to day to ops clusters Air created using a single pane of glass no matter where they're created, giving a simple and consistent interface. Clusters can be created on bare metal and private data centers and, of course, on public cloud applications will always have specific operating requirements. For example, data protection, security, cost efficiency edge or leveraging specific services on public infrastructure. Being able to create a cluster on the infrastructure that makes the most sense while maintaining a consistent experience is incredibly powerful to developers and operators. This helps developers move quick by being able to leverage the infra and services of their choice and operators by leveraging, available, compute with the most efficient and for available. Now that we have users self creating clusters, we need centralized management to support this increase in scale. Doc Enterprise Container cloud use is the single pane of glass for observe ability and management of all your clusters. We have day to ops covered to keep things simple and new. Moving fast from this single pane of glass, you can manage the full stack lifecycle of your clusters from the infra up, including Dr Enterprise, as well as the fully automated deployment and management of all components deployed through it. What I'm most excited about is Doc Enterprise Container Cloud as a service. What do I mean by as a service doctor? Enterprise continue. Cloud is fully self managed and continuously delivered. It is always up to date, always security patched, always available new features and capabilities pushed often and directly to you truly as a service experience anywhere you want, it run. Security is of utmost importance to Miranda's and our customers. Security can't be an afterthought, and it can't be added later with Doctor and a price continued cloud, we're maintaining our leadership and security. We're doing this by leveraging the proven security and Dr Enterprise. Dr. Enterprise has the best and the most complete security certifications and compliance, such as Stig Oscar, How and Phipps 1 $40 to thes security certifications allows us to run in the world's most secure locations. We are proud and honored to have some of the most security conscious customers in the world from all industries into. She's like insurance, finance, health care as well as public, federal and government agencies. With Dr Enterprise Container Cloud. We put security as our top concern, but importantly, we do it with speed. You can't move fast with security in the way so they solve this. We've added what we're calling invisible security security enabled by default and configured for you as part of the platform. Dr Price Container Cloud is multi tenant with granular are back throughout. In conjunction with Doc Enterprise, Docker Trusted Registry and Dr Content Trust. We have a complete end to end secured software supply chain Onley run the images that have gone through the appropriate channels that you have authorized to run on the most secure container engine in the >>industry. >>Lastly, I want to quickly touch on scale. Today. Cluster sprawl is a very real thing. There are test clusters, staging clusters and, of course, production clusters. There's also different availability zones, different business units and so on. There's clusters everywhere. These clusters are also running all over the place. We have customers running Doc Enterprise on premise there, embracing public cloud and not just one cloud that might also have some bare metal. So cloud sprawl is also a very real thing. All these clusters on all these clouds is a maintenance and observe ability. Nightmare. This is a huge friction point to scaling Dr Price. Container Cloud solves these issues, lets you scale quicker and more easily. Little recap. What's new. We've added multi cluster management. Deploy and attach all your clusters wherever they are. Multi cloud, including public private and bare metal. Deploy your clusters to any infra self service cluster creation. No more I T. Tickets to get resources. Incredible speed. Automated Full stack Lifecycle management, including Dr Enterprise Container, cloud itself as a service from the in for up centralized observe ability with a single pane of glass for your clusters, their health, your APs and most importantly to our existing doc enterprise customers. You can, of course, add your existing D clusters to Dr Enterprise Container Cloud and start leveraging the many benefits it offers immediately. So that's it. Thank you so much for attending today's keynote. This was very much just a high level introduction to our exciting release. There is so much more to learn about and try out. I hope you are as excited as I am to get started today with Doc Enterprise. Continue, Cloud, please attend the tutorial tracks up Next is Miska, with the world's most popular Kubernetes E Lens. Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy the rest of our conference.

Linda Babcock, Carnegie Mellon University | Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2019


 

>>from Miami >>Beach, Florida It's the Q covering a Cronus Global Cyber >>Summit 2019. Brought to you by a Cronus. >>Welcome to the Qi. We are in Miami, Florida, for the Cronus Global Cyber Summit. 2019 John for your host of the Cube. We're here for two days of coverage around cybersecurity and the impact to the enterprise in society in a great guest here to kick off the event. Linda Babcock, professor of economics at Carnegie Mellon University, author of the book, Ask for It, and she has a new book she's working on, and we'll get into that. Thanks for joining me. Thanks for coming on. >>Really happy to be here. >>Thanks. So Carnegie Mellon. Great. Great. Uh, University. They stole a bunch of people when I was in school, in the computer science department. Very well known for that as well. Economics, math, machine learning. I was good stuff there. What's going on in Carnegie Mellon? What's new in your world? >>Well, it's just actually just a great place to be because of the focus on interdisciplinary work. You know, problems in the world don't come as disciplines. They come with multiple perspectives needed and So it's just a place where people can flourish, attack ideas from all kinds of angles. And so it's a really great >>one of the things I hear a lot about, and we cover a lot about the the skills gap. Certainly this is Maur job openings than there are jobs and interesting. A lot of the jobs that are new haven't been skilled, important in the classic university setting. So a lot of these jobs, like cybersecurity, cloud computing, Blockchain, crypto economic token economics, all kind of have a maths economic steam to him. So you know your computer science, you got economics and policy. I seem to be the key areas around from these new skills and challenges. Way faces a society which your take on all this >>Well, actually, there's a lot going on in this area at Carnegie Mellon. Actually, the economics group at Carnegie Mellon ISS is been proposing a new major that really focuses on this interface between economics, machine learning and technology. And I think it's going to train our students just for the next generation of problems that the world of tech is gonna have. So it's very exciting. >>So let's talk about your book. Ask for it. Okay. Um, it's not a new book that's been around for a while, but you give a talk here. What's what's the talking talking track here at the event? >>Yeah, so I have a couple of themes of research, and it focuses on women's Berries to advancement in organizations. And so most of the work that I did with this book and my first book, Women Don't Ask, was looking about how men and women approached negotiation differently. And kind of the bottom line is that women are what less likely to negotiate than men over all kinds of things, like pay like opportunities for advancement like the next promotion. And it really harms them in the workplace because men are always out there asking for it and organizations reward that. And so the book is was really about shedding light on this disparity and what organizations could do about it and what women can do about it themselves, how they can learn to negotiate more effectively. >>What did you learn when you were writing the book around? Some of the use cases of best practices that women were doing in the field was it. Maura aggressive style has a more collaborative. You're seeing a lot more solidarity amongst women themselves, and men are getting involved. A lot of companies are kind of talking the game summer walking, the talk. What the big findings that you've learned >>well, I'd say that the approach is that women use are a lot different than the approaches that menus. And it's because our world lets men do a lot of different things. It lets them engage in a cooperative way, lets them be very competitive. But our world has a very narrow view about what's acceptable behavior for women. I often call it a tight rope because women are kind of balancing that they need to go out and assert themselves. But they have to do it in a way that our side, a society finds acceptable, and that that tight rope constrains women and doesn't allow them to be their authentic Selves on DSO. It makes it difficult for women to navigate that. What's your >>take on the the balancing of being aggressive and the pressure companies have to, you know, keep the women population certainly pipeline in tech. We see it all the time and the whole me to thing and the pressure goes on because norms were forming, right? So is there any new data that you can share around how, with norms and for forming and what men can do? Particularly, I get this question a lot, and I always ask myself, What am I doing? Can I do something different? Because I want to be inclusive and I want to do the right thing. But sometimes I don't know what to do. >>Yeah, of course. And it's really important that men get involved in this conversation as allies and, like you said, sometimes men but don't know what to do because they feel like maybe they don't have standing to be in the conversation when it's about women and weigh all need men, his allies. If women are gonna try to reach equality, ATT's some point. But the new data really suggests negotiation may be playing a role. The work that show Sandberg lean in, But the newest work that we have shows that actually the day to day things that happen at work that's holding women back. So let me tell you about that. So what we find is if you think about your calendar and what you do all day there a task that you can classify as being promotable, that is, they're really your core job. Responsibility there noticed, rewarded. But there's glass of other things that happen in your organization that are often below the surface that are important to dio valued but actually not rewarded. And what our research finds is that men spend much more time than women at the tasks that are these promotable task that rewarded women spend much more time than men on these tasks that we call non promotable that are not rewarded. And it's really holding women back. And how men can help is that the reason that women are doing these tasks is because everyone is asking them to do these tasks. And so what men can do is start asking men to do some of these things that are important but yet not rewarded because the portfolio's now are really out of balance and women are really shouldering the burden of these tasks disproportionately. >>So get on the wave of the promotional off the promotional oriented things that Maura and the man can come and pick up the slack on some of the things that were delegated to the women because they could order the kitchen food or whatever >>or help others with their work. Someone has to hire the summer intern. Someone has to organize events. Someone has to resolve underlying conflicts. Those are all really important things. Women get tasked with them, and that really doesn't allow them to focus on their core job responsibilities. And so men can step up to the blade, stop, do it, start doing their fair share of that work, and really then allow women to reach their full >>potential. I've been thinking a lot about this lately around how collaboration software, how collaborative teams. You started to see the big successful coming like Amazon to pizza team concept. Smaller teams, Team Orient. If you're doing it, you're in a teen. These things go. You've given you get so I think it's probably a better environment. Is that happening or no? It's >>unclear how teams kind of shake out for women in this setting, because there's actually some research that shows when a team produces an output and the supervisor trying to figure out, like who really made the output? Who was the valued player on the team. They often overvalue the contributions of men and undervalued the contributions of women. So actually, team projects can be problematic if women don't get their fair share of >>bias. Is everywhere >>biases everywhere. And you know it's not that people are trying discriminate against women. It's just that it's a subconscious, implicit bias and so affects our judgments in ways that we don't even realize. >>It's actually probably amplifies it. You know, the game are gaining a lot of things on digital indigenous communities. We see a lot where people are hiding behind their avatars. Yeah, that's also pretty bad environment. So we've been doing a lot of thinking and reporting around communities and data. I want to get your thoughts is I never really probed at this. But is there any economic incentives? And after you're an economics professor, you seeing things like crypto economics and tokens and all kinds of new things is a potential path towards creating an incentive system that's cutting edge what's progressive thinking around any kind of incentive systems for organizations or individuals. >>Well, when you think about incentives and maybe an economist, I think about those a lot, and I emerged that with my work on various to women's advancement, I think incentives is one area that you can actually play a big role. And that is that Organizational leaders should be incentive fied incentivized to see that they have equal advancement for their male and female employees in their workforce. Because if they don't it means they're losing out on this potential that women have, that they aren't able to fully be productive. And so that's, I think, the place. I think that incentives can really be important, >>a great leader and he said, and I'm quoting him. But I feel the same way says. Our incentive is business. Get a better outcome with them. We include women, give data, goes Yeah, we make software and have people that use our software with women I don't wanna have. So I'm like, Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Biases should be in there. Four Women for women by women for women >>and women spend more money as consumers than men. And so having women on teams allows them to see perspectives that men may not see, and so it can really add two new innovative thinking that hadn't been there before by including women. >>Well, I'm excited that this there's a little bit of movement in tech we're starting to see, certainly in venture capital, starting to see a lot more when you come into the board room work to do. But I think there's a nice sign that there's more jobs that are computer related that aren't just coding. That's male dominant pretty much now and still still is for a while. But there's a lot more skills, all kinds of range now in computer science. It's interesting. How is that affecting some of the new pipeline ing? >>Yeah, well, I think the good news is that there are is increasing levels of women's attainment in stem fields. And so there are more and more female workers entering the labor market today. Way just have to make sure that those workers are valued and feel included when they do doing tech companies. Otherwise they will leave because what happens unfortunately, sometimes in tech is it doesn't feel inclusive for women. And the quick rate for women in tech is over over twice the rate for men, and some of the reasons are is they're not feeling valued in their positions. They're not seeing their advancement. And so with this new wave of female workers, we have to make sure that those workplaces are ready to accept them and include them. >>That's great. Well, ask for it is a great book. I went through it and it's great handbook. I learned a lot. It really is a handbook around. Just standing up and taken what you can. You got some new, but you got a new book you're working on. What's that gonna look like? What if some of the themes in the new book >>Yeah. So the new book is on these promotable tasks, and the way I like to think about it is there's so much attention toe work, life balance, you know? How do you manage both of those with your career, your family? How does that work? But our work actually focuses on work, work, balance, and what remains is paying attention to the things that you do at work. Making sure that those things that you're doing are the things that are most valuable for your employer and are gonna be most valuable for your career. So it's a really different focus on the day to day ways that you spend your time at work and how that can propel women to the next level. >>That's awesome, Linda. Thanks for coming. I appreciate it. What do you think of the event here? Cronies? Global cyber security summit. >>Well, I got to say it's not my typical event, but I'm having a good time learning more about what's happening in the tech industry today. >>Cyber protection, Certainly a cutting edge issue. And certainly on the East Coast in Washington D certainly with national defense and all kinds of things happening, Ransomware is a big topic that kicked around here absolutely getting taken out like, Oh, my God. Yeah. Bitcoin in return for taking your systems out, >>all kinds of new stuff to add to my tool kit. >>Great to have you on. Thanks for your insight. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate it. I'm John for here at the Cube. We're here in Miami Beach for the Cronus Cyber Protection Conference. Thank you for watching

Jason Thomas, Cole, Scott & Kissane | Pure Accelerate 2019


 

>> from Austin, Texas. It's Theo Cube covering your storage accelerate 2019. Brought to you by pure storage. How >> do you all how to do Dave Great Legal garden with you? Yes, I am Lisa Martin with David Lantana. And can you guess we're in Texas were at pure Accelerate 2019 Day one of our coverage here and the Buzzy Expo Hall. Pleased to welcome one of Pierre's customers to the Q B of Jason Thomas, the CEO of Coal, Scott Hussein or C. S K Legal Jason. Welcome to the program. So talk to us a little bit about si es que legal. You're based out of Florida. You're CEO. Give us a little bit of a picture of the law firm, your I T environment and your role. ISS leader of information >> So cold, Scott is saying, >> has been around >> 20 plus years. I joined about three and 1/2 years ago, Um, and we have now this one. We have 13 officers. We just opened up 13th office. We're the largest law firm in Florida currently, and only in Florida. Interestingly enough, I actually live and work out of Boston, but you know, these days there's no reason why you can't work remote. I go, they're off enoughto needed. >> You can avoid the hurricanes by living in >> a snowstorm over >> hurting any >> day because I've been a >> good pro sports in Boston. Better, better college sports in Florida. >> Yeah, No one cares about college sports. >> Best of both worlds. All right, so we're here Appear. You guys have been appear customer for a while. But give us this This picture of the legal landscape from a data volume perspective, I could imagine tons of documentation. I think you guys have hundreds of attorneys. What were some of the challenges three years ago when you were looking for the ideal long? You know, storage service is that you were really looking to four companies like your help eliminate and allow you to really deliver on the business needs. >> So we're heavy, heavy volume, business tons and tons of documents. Um, And when I came on board 39 years ago, the ever start of iron was basically a lot of physical servers, a lot of local storage which, quite frankly, scared me. I came from my previous company. I was that I came from a nap shop And that was when my first initiatives was bringing in a sand into the firm and centralizing all the storage on also setting up D r a cz. Well, along with that. So it started evaluation process pretty much within a few months, coming on board the firm. >> So you knew Netapp. Sorry, Dave. You knew Net up your pure customer perspective. Of what? For some of those things that you were looking for that when you found pure was, like, checks all the boxes. >> I can tell you what I wasn't looking for. It was I wasn't looking to hire a storage admin. So I want to find something super simple demand something that I could manage or any of the guys could manage any this this admits, could manage. So that was like starting point of the evaluation. >> So you had a bunch of sounds like discreet Dad asked direct access storage, and he said that concern you, presumably because it was hard to manage to get a handle on. So you wanted to consolidate >> way had if we had our sequel No sequel box go down down for a day, and, uh, do you ever stole from backups in previous night. Not really a good set up at the time >> in our most of your attorneys century, located in one location. Are they distributed there? >> They're spread out all across up and down floors. So we have 13 offices. So between there, they're all over the place. But a lot of work remote down, too. So that's becoming a big thing as well. So the >> reason I asked you to get the pendulum swinging right, you had almost ass, and then you went to a sin. And now this. You got the head you get cloud. I don't know if you're taking advantage of cloud, are you? >> Uh, we are actually we a lot of our software now that we've slowly start to move a lot of our main main line products to the cloud or a cloud edition of this product. So I would say we're probably 50 to 60% cloud now. >> Yes. So you were tied up in the keynotes this morning, but one of the things we heard in the key notice you could have the pure management experience. No matter where your data lives, bring the the pure cloud experience to your date on Prim and the public cloud hybrid. Is that something that's appealing to you? Is that resonate? Yeah. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. It makes it. Look, I can I can actually blogging appear one of my phone if I want to, you know, and check the room. Not that I ever do. Quite. I'll say I never really need to look at >> it. Well, your c i o. Right. I mean, you got other things to worry about. Get my I would like >> to be involved with fingers in it. >> It's interesting. So I mean, you know, a lot of time CEOs, they don't they let, but your tech I love your technical. See a lot of that. A lot of technical CEOs as well, but But also, you don't want to hire a storage admin. Correct. So you want general is to be able to deal this stuff. Okay, so you know your question. Why? Why pure? What would you look at? And >> so we looked at, um, way looked at HP street power. Big name. Um, we looked at fewer and we looked at 10 tree and I pretty much especially with three part I knew that would be management heavy so that when I toss that one out pretty quickly, not that it's not a great product. But it just wasn't for me or what I was >> the right fit. >> You're not right for us. So we came down the pier and 10 tree. I had a had a buddy who worked at another law firm, and he's like and he was like, Look, just don't even waste time just go pure And it's a phrase that I use Sometimes I stole from him, but he he's like, Dude, this is like storage crack. You'll love it. >> Storage crack. Wow, They need a T shirt. That first >> first hit's free. Okay, so that was the right fit for you. It was your peer was appear that that enticed you. That's obviously take a bit. I presume you take a lot of hair advice. >> Lot appeared, but we didn't even do a POC. >> Wow, this is this is a good period that you obviously trust. >> All right, how to >> see was the interface yet you showed me the interface on a phone call one time, and he's like, this is it. I'm like, That's it. >> What did you actually bring in. What are you using? >> I'm sorry, >> What products That you're actually using, What? Or with pure >> Oh, so I'm sorry. Um Exchange sequel. Um, that our main line, our bookkeeping time, time and building. All that that that's that's the meaning of >> all the legal absent all the legal dated the data stores. Which product from pure is that? Do you know a fan? Is it? Uh, it's the all flash array. Yeah. >> I'm sorry. Yes, it's the FBI. >> Yeah. Okay. And so, thinking about before and after hell kind of a as is and the to be how would you compare and contrast two when you brought it in the pre in the post >> your environment. >> Oh, for your business. >> That's Ah, good question. I felt more comfortable sleeping at night. You know why? Just the reliability of the ease of management. You know, if we need to bring up a volume or expanded volume, we could do it very quickly. It doesn't. It doesn't take a rocket science to do it. And from everyone I spoke to I mean, I can't I'm not I can't speak to it, but I can't. I don't I don't believe I've ever talked anybody that's had an outage or whether you raise gone down. In fact, it seems that they tell me before we even know if there's, you know, an issue. Andi. They jump on it right away. So we've never had never had now has never had an issue, never had an issue with an upgrade. It's been fantastic. That supports awesome. >> No need for a rocket scientist or a storage admin, >> and you're sleeping better. This is very, very good thing so far this interview. So in terms of the traditional storage model that you're well familiar with, as you said, you know, being very familiar with netapp it a previous role, the whole every three years. Allies like it. We've got to switch things out, disrupting operations here, comes along with the Evergreen model, and we go, How much of that is marketing and how much of that really actually means? And I know you're a big >> you're in my mind. So yeah, I was like, Oh, so I'm pre paying for support or, you know, But you know what? One side. Once I understood what it really waas and the advantages of of it inmate sentence. We didn't. We didn't I didn't think we would upgrade as much as we have already. We've already gone through to storage up, raising two controller upgrades. So that's really where where it really makes sense is when you're doing storage controller upgrade. So if you want to start our small, which we do is start a little bit small in the beginning. And then then our business grew like crazy and our storage needs expanded. So we went through at least two upgrades for years. >> So you you bring in a rare you paying basically perpetual license up front boom. And then and then you're doing the evergreen model. And then now you're on a subscription in perpetuity, is that correct? Okay, so you you essentially go from cap Ex Op X over the life cycle, and then when you add capacity, you're paying for that capacity, and then >> you just like you return the equipment, you get your money back, and then, uh, you get new equipment >> is truly non disruptive. >> We've been through to upgrades and to control operates with your major upgrades and, um, both of them we did at 5 p.m. Just not that the firm close. If I were anything but, you know, just to feel comfortable. I don't know how you do it at five, and it's okay because you know, if anything goes down from five and if no one's working right, so But here, obviously, we're always attorneys are always on and know they're really smooth. No problems. Every I mean, they got a great strategy and method to the upgrades way stayed up the entire time. >> I mean, it is a big issue for practitioners. We we've done some quantification over the years, and it was like the minimum to migrate. Honore was $50,000. When you add it all in people's time, the cost of the array, the complexity and you're saying first of all, sound reasonable, right kind of number, right? I mean, that's probably gonna make room for the conservative right. Is that essentially been eliminated? I mean, it gives you some planning, I guess are >> pretty much. And as far as the planning goes, you know, these these guys take care of all that. So when we're ready to make the switch, they just log in and do their thing, and then it's done, >> and in terms of training for yourself or your team. When you've done these two upgrades that what's that process been like? >> Log in and figure it out. I mean, >> it sounds pretty simple. >> There's not much to it. Yeah. >> So what's on the C I ose mind these days? Obviously, you don't stay awake at night now thinking about story. >> I stay awake for security, for >> talk about that data >> breach security seems like every every week. Now it it seems I'm on my Twitter feed and this is there's a new breech home. It just it's It's almost got to the point where, you know, it's just another thing that happens. >> So what's your challenge there? Is it managing all these tools? Is it knowing what to respond to it? Is it the skill sets all of the above? My >> biggest thing is, I believe in lots of redundancy. So, um, so one. Starting with the pure we have, we have a second array in another data center outside the state, so we replicate the to raise between each other. That's that's what we started with that side. We also running, you know, regular backups. We run rubric for that. And we also now have just oh, establishing cloud strategy for backups. Immutable. Um, long, long retention. So we also send our backup to the cloud as well. So now I'm feeling like I can sleep. Probably can sleep late now. I just gotta wait for somebody for something to happen, I guess, and makes sure, and hopefully your strategy is pretty solid here. >> Okay, so D r and backup are part of that overall data protection and security strategy that extends obviously into the perimeter device, etcetera, etcetera. So you have a SEC ops team. How do you weigh? >> Don't have a dedicated no. See. So, >> Well, you're the C cell. >> I'm exactly exactly so. Sher Sher bulls with a small group of us that are also the security team. And we've got a pretty I think we've got at this point a pretty solid security sack. Always room for improvement. Always looking at the new stuff. What's out there? I mean, there's all kinds of cool tech out there. Sometimes I get a little overboard with the team, gets a little upset with me because, you know, I just want to see I want to do another POC, and they're like we have three running. >> Okay, Like you guys have a pretty solid foundation running on pure that you stone to me, like, kind of appear customer for life. So they should at least give you a T shirt. Um, Adam, >> give me atleast >> a T shirt. >> I'll tell you one what really sold me within the first year was we had a We had a B m that wouldn't wouldn't boot up and we couldn't figure out what was going on. So we thought initially thought was a V m where issue and so we call support and you can really figure out. They said it was a pure issue. We call so decide to call Pure. One night I was 89 o'clock at night and decide to give it a shot, and the guy got on the phone and come to find. Now there was some issue with the data stores of'em where it was crossed, her data stores and one was deleted. Oh, apparently maybe me had deleted a small data store that had nothing on it, but apparently it was linked to the data store. This b m for some unknown reason known. Behold, bmr issue. But the guy on the line actually knew of resource within pure. That was That was a big bm weren't guy and he came in. He actually logged in and help us unlinked to data stores. So totally not appear issue. But, you know, he went the extra mile to help us recover that GM gotta back up the same night. >> You know, we got to go, But I ask you a question. You work. You have a lot of vendors you've experienced. What, Avengers do that really tick you off? That they should stop doing? How's your chance? >> I don't like the term road map. >> Really? >> Any time I hear road map, it means, you know >> we don't have it. You >> don't have >> yet, >> But we're gonna look into that so don't do business with people that have no road. >> Jason, thank you so much for share your candor with David. Me on the key. We appreciate it. Congratulations on all your success. >> Thank you >> for David. Dante. I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching the Cube at pure accelerate 19. Thanks for watching

Brought to you by pure storage. And can you guess we're in Texas were at pure Accelerate Interestingly enough, I actually live and work out of Boston, but you know, good pro sports in Boston. You know, storage service is that you were I was that I came from a nap shop And that was when my first initiatives was So you knew Netapp. I can tell you what I wasn't looking for. So you had a bunch of sounds like discreet Dad asked direct access storage, and he said that concern and, uh, do you ever stole from backups in previous night. in our most of your attorneys century, located in one location.

Doug Davis, IBM | KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU 2019


 

>> about >> fifteen live from basically about a room that is a common club native con Europe twenty nineteen by Red Hat, The >> Cloud, Native Computing Foundation and Ecosystem Partners. >> Welcome back to the Cubes. Live coverage of Cloud Native Con Cube Khan, twenty nineteen I'm stupid in my co host is Corey Quinn and having a welcome back to the program, Doug Davis, who's a senior technical staff member and PM of a native. And he happens to be employed by IBM. Thanks so much for joining. Thanks for inviting me. Alright, So Corey got really excited when he saw this because server Lis is something that you know he's been doing for a while. I've been poking in, trying to understand all the pieces have done marvelous conflict couple of times and, you know, I guess, I guess layout for our audience a little bit, you know, k native. You know, I look at it kind of a bridging a solution, but, you know, we're talking. It's not the, you know, you know, containers or server lists. And, you know, we understand that world. They're spectrums and there's overlap. So maybe as that is a set up, you know, What is the surveillance working groups? You know, Charter. Right. So >> the service Working Group is a Sand CF working group. It was originally started back in mid two thousand seventeen by the technical recite committee in Cincy. They basically wanted know what is service all about his new technology is that some of these get involved with stuff like that. So they started up the service working group and our main mission was just doing some investigation. And so the output of this working group was a white paper. Basically describing serval is how it compares with the other as is out there. What is the good use cases for when to use that went out through it? Common architectures, basically just explaining what the heck is going on in that space. And then we also produced a landscape document basically laying out what's out there from a proprietors perspective as well is open source perspective. And then the third piece was at the tail end of the white paper set of recommendations for the TOC or seen stuff in general. What do they do next? And basic came down to three different things. One was education. We want to be educate the community on what services when it's appropriate stuff like that. Two. What should wait? I'm sorry I'm getting somebody Thinks my head recommendations. What other projects we pull into the CNC f others other service projects, you know, getting encouraged in the joint to grow the community. And third, what should we do around improbability? Because obviously, when it comes to open source standards of stuff like that, we want in our ability, portability stuff like that and one of the low hang your food should be identified was, well, service seems to be all about events. So there's something inventing space we could do, and we recognize well, if we could help the processing of events as it moves from Point A to point B, that might help people in terms of middleware in terms of routing, of events, filtering events, stuff like that. And so that's how these convents project that started. Right? And so that's where most of service working group members are nowadays. Is cod events working or project, and they're basically divine, Eva said specification around cloud events, and you kind of think of it as defining metadata to add to your current events because we're not going to tell you. Oh, here's yet another one size fits all cloud of in format, right? It's Take your current events. Sprinkle a little extra metadata in there just to help routing. And that's really what it's all about. >> One of the first things people say about server list is quoted directly from the cover of Missing the Point magazine Server list Runs on servers. Wonderful. Thank you for your valuable contribution. Go away slightly less naive is, I think, an approach, and I've seen a couple of times so far at this conference. When talking to people that they think of it in terms of functions as a service of being able to take arbitrary code and running, I have a wristwatch I can run arbitrary code on. That's not really the point. It's, I think you're right. It's talking more about the event model and what that unlocks As your application. Mohr less starts to become more self aware. Are you finding that acceptance of that viewpoint is taking time to take root? >> Yeah, I think what's interesting is when we first are looking. A serval is, I think, very a lot of people did think of service equals function of the service, and that's all it was. I think what we're finding now is this this mode or people are more open to the idea of sort of as you. I think you're alluding to merging of these worlds because we look at the functionality of service offers, things like event based, which really only means is the messages coming in? It just happens to look like an event. Okay, fine. Mrs comes in you auto scale based upon, you know, loaded stuff like that scale down to zero is a the monkey thought it was really like all these other things are all these features. Why should you limit those two service? Why not a past platform? Why not? Container is a service. Why would you want those just for one little as column? And so my goal with things like a native though I'm glad you mentioned it is because I think he does try to span those, and I'm hoping it kind of merges them altogether and says, Look, I don't care what you call it. Use this piece of technology because it does what you need to do. If you want to think of it as a pass, go for I don't care. This guy over here he wants think that is a FAZ Great. It's the same piece of technology. Does the feature do what you need? Yes or no? Ignore that, nor the terminology around it more than anything >> else. So I agree. Ueda Good, Great discussion with the user earlier and he said from a developer standpoint, I actually don't want to think too much about which one of these pass I go down. I want to reduce the friction for them and make it easy. So you know, how does K native help us move towards that? You know, ideal >> world, right? And I think so fine. With what I said earlier, One of the things I think a native does, aside from trying to bridge all the various as columns is I also look a K native as a simplification of communities because as much as everybody here loves communities, it is kind of complicated, right? It is not the easiest thing in the world to use, and it kind of forced you to be a nightie expert which almost goes against the direction we were headed. When you think of Cloud Foundry stuff like that where it's like, Hey, you don't worry about this something, we're just give us your code, right? Cos well says No, you gotta know about Network Sing Gris on values that everything else it's like, I'm sorry, isn't this going the wrong way? Well, Kania tries to back up a little, say, give you all the features of Cooper Netease, but in a simplified platform or a P I experience that you can get similar Tokat. Foundry is Simo, doctor and stuff, but gives you all the benefits of communities. But the important thing is if for some reason you need to go around K native because it's a little too simplified or opinionated, you could still go around it to get to the complicated stuff. And it's not like you're leaving that a different world or you're entering a different world because it's the same infrastructure they could stuff that you deploy on. K Native can integrate very nicely with the stuff you deploy through vanilla communities if you have to. So it is really nice emerging these two worlds, and I'm I'm really excited by that. >> One thing that I found always strange about server list is at first it was defined by what it's not and then quickly came to be defined almost by its constraints. If you take a look at public cloud offerings around this, most notably a ws land other there, many others it comes down well. You can only run it for experience time or it only runs in certain run times. Or it's something the cold starts become a problem. I think that taking a viewpoint from that perspective artificially hobbles what this might wind up on locking down the road just because these constraints move. And right now it might be a bit of a toy. I don't think it will be as it because it needs to become more capable. The big value proposition that I keep hearing around server listen I've mostly bought into has been that it's about business logic and solving the things that Air Corps to your business and not even having to think about infrastructure. Where do you stand on that >> viewpoint? I completely agree. I think a lot of the limitations you see today are completely artificial. I kind of understand why they're there, because the way things have progressed. But again, that's one reason I excited like a native is because a lot of those limitations aren't there. Now, Kay native doesn't have its own set of limitations. And personally, I do want to try to remove those. Like I said, I would love it if K native, aside from the serval ISS features it offers up, became these simplified, incriminate his experience. So if you think about what you could do with Coronet is right, you could deploy a pod and they can run forever until the system decides to crash. For some reason, right, why not do that with a native and you can't stay with a native? Technically, I have demos that I've been running here where I set the men scale the one it lives forever, and teenager doesn't care right? And so deploying an application through K native communities. I don't care that it's the same thing to me. And so, yes, I do want to merge in those two worlds. I wantto lower those constraints as long as you keep it a simplified model and support the eighty to ninety percent of those use cases that it's actually meant to address. Leave the hard stuff for going around it a little. >> Alright, So, Doug, you know, it's often times, you know, we get caught in this bubble of arguing over, you know? You know what we call it, how the different pieces are. Yesterday you had a practitioner Summit four server list. So what? I want to hear his You know, whats the practitioners of you put What are they excited about? What are they using today and what are the things that they're asking for? Help it become, you know, Maur were usable and useful for them in the future. >> So in full disclosure, we actually kind of a quiet audience, so they weren't very vocal. But what little I did here is they seem very excited by K native and I think a lot of it was because we were just talking about that sort of merging of the worlds because I do think there is still some confusion around, as you said when you use one verse of the other and I think a native is helping to bring those together. And I did hear some excitement around that in terms of what people actually expect from us going in the future. I don't know. Be honest. They didn't actually say a whole lot there. I had my own personal opinion, and lot of years would already stayed in terms of emerging. Stop having me pick a technology or pick a terminology, right? Let me just pick the technology. It gets my job done and hopefully that one will solve a lot of my needs. But for the most parts, I think it was really more about Kaneda than anything else. Yesterday, >> I think like Lennox before it. Any technology? At some point you saw this with virtual ization with cloud, with containers with Cooper Netease. And now we're starting to Syria to see with server lists where some of its most vocal proponents are also the most obnoxious in that they're looking at this from a perspective of what's your problem? I'm not even going to listen to the answer. The absolution is filling favorite technology here. So to that end today, what workloads air not appropriate for surveillance in your mind? >> Um, >> so this is hardly an answer because I have the IBM Army running through my head because what's interesting is I do hear people talk about service is good for this and not this or you can date. It is good for this and not this. And I hear those things, and I'm not sure I actually buy it right. I actually think that the only limitations that I've seen in terms of what you should not run on time like he needed or any of the platform is whatever that platform actually finds you, too. So, for example, on eight of us, they may have time limited in terms of how long you can run. If that's a problem for you, don't use it to me. That's not an artifact of service. That's artifact of that particular choice of how the implement service with K native they don't have that problem. You could let it run forever if you want. So in terms of what workloads or good or bad, I honestly I don't have a good answer for that because I don't necessary by some of the the stories I'm hearing, I personally think, try to run everything you can through something like Cain native, and then when it fails, go someplace else is the same story had when containers first came around. They would say, You know when to use BMS vs Containers. My go to answer was, always try containers first. Your life will be a whole lot easier when it doesn't work, then look at the other things because I don't want to. I don't want to try to pigeonhole something like surly or K native and say, Oh, don't even think about it for these things because it may actually worked just fine for you, right? I don't want people to believe negative hype in a way that makes sense, >> and that's very fair. I tend to see most of the constraints around. This is being implementation details of specific providers and that that will dictate answers to that question. I don't want to sound like I'm coming after you, and that's very thoughtful of measured with >> thank you. That's the usual response back. So don't >> go. I'Ll give you the tough one critical guy had in Seattle. Okay, when I looked at K Native is there's a lot of civilised options out there yet, but when I talked to users, the number one out there is a ws Lambda, and number two is probably as your functions. And as of Seattle, neither of those was fully integrated. Since then, I talk to a little startup called Believers Trigger Mash, that that has made some connections between Lambda Ah, and a native. And there was an announcement a couple of weeks ago, Kedia or Keita? That's azure and some kind of future to get Teo K native. So it feels like it's a maturity thing. And, you know, what can you tell us about, you know, the big cloud guys on Felicia? Google's involved IBM Red Hat on and you know Oracle are involved in K Native. So where do those big cloud players? Right? >> So from my perspective, what I think Kenya has going for it over the others is one A lot of other guys do run on Cooper Netease. I feel like they're sort of like communities as well as everything else, like some of them can run. Incriminate is Dr anything else, and so they're not necessary, tightly integrated and leveraging the community's features the way Kay Native is doing. And I think that's a little bit unique right there. But the other thing that I think K native has going for it is the community around it? I think people were doing were noticing. Is that what you said? There's a lot of other players out there, and it's hard for people to choose. And what? I think Google did a great job of this sort of bringing the community together and said, Look, can we stop bickering and develop a sort of common infrastructure? Like Who Burnett is is that we can all then base our surveillance platforms on, and I think that rallying cry to bring the community together across a common base is something a little bit unique for K native. When you compare it with the others, I think that's a big draw for people. Least from my perspective. I know it from IBM Zzzz Well, because community is a big thing for us, >> obviously. Okay, so will there be a bridge to those other cloud players soon as their road map? For that, >> we think a native itself. Yeah, I am not sure I can answer that one, because I'm not sure I heard a lot of talk about bridging per se. I know that when you talk about things like getting events from other platforms and stuff. Obviously, through the eventing side of a native we do went from a serving perspective. I'm not sure I hold her old water. From that perspective, you have >> to be honest. All right, Well, Doug Davis, we're done for This one. Really appreciate all the updates there. And I definitely look forward, Teo, seeing the progress that the servant working group continues to do, so thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Alright for Corey Quinn. I'm stupid and will be back with more coverage here on the Cube. Thanks for watching.

SUMMARY :

So maybe as that is a set up, you know, What is the surveillance working groups? you know, getting encouraged in the joint to grow the community. Thank you for your valuable contribution. Does the feature do what you need? So you know, how does K native But the important thing is if for some reason you need to go around K that it's about business logic and solving the things that Air Corps to your business and not even having to think I don't care that it's the same thing to me. Alright, So, Doug, you know, it's often times, you know, we get caught in this bubble And I did hear some excitement around that in terms of what people actually expect At some point you saw this with virtual I honestly I don't have a good answer for that because I don't necessary by some of the the I don't want to sound like I'm coming after you, That's the usual response back. And, you know, what can you tell us about, Is that what you said? Okay, so will there be a bridge to those other cloud players soon as their road map? I know that when you talk about things like getting And I definitely look forward, Teo, seeing the progress that the

Deon Newman, IBM & Slava Rubin, Indiegogo - IBM Interconnect 2017 - #ibminterconnect - #theCUBE


 

>> Male Announcer: Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering InterConnect 2017. Brought to you by, IBM. >> Welcome back, we're live here in Las Vegas for IBM InterConnect 2017. This is theCUBE's coverage of InterConnect, I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante my co-host. Our next guest is Deon Newman, CMO of IBM Watson IoT, and Slava Rubin, the founder and Chief Business Officer of Indiegogo, great keynote today, you're on stage. Welcome to theCUBE. Deon, great to see you. >> Thanks for having me. >> So I got to first set the context. Indiegogo, very successful crowd-funder, you guys pioneered. It's pretty obvious now looking back, this has created so much opportunity for people starting companies, whether it's a labor of love or growing into a great business, so congratulations on your success. What's the IBM connection? Because I don't want, you know, there was some stuff on the tweets, I don't want to break the news, but you guys are here. Share the connection. What's the packaging, why is IMB and Indigogo working together? >> Yeah, so back up to 2008. We launched to be able to get people access to funding. And over the last several years, we've done a pretty good job of that. Sending over a billion dollars to over half a million entrepreneurs around the world. And more recently, we've had a lot more requests of Indiegogo can you do more? And we knew that we couldn't do it all on our own. So we partnered first with Arrow to be able to bring these ideas more into reality around components and engineering and supply chain. And we knew we needed more in terms of these IoT products, so they need to be smart and they need software. So we were really excited to be able to announce today, the partnership with IBM, around everything IoT Cloud, security, and being able to provide all the block chain and any other elements that we need. >> Deon I want to ask you, get your thoughts on, we had the Watson data platform guys on earlier in the segment, and the composability is now the norm around data. This brings the hacker-maker culture to IoT. Which if you think about it as a sweet-spot for some of the innovations. They can start small and grow big. Is that part of the plan? >> Yeah, I mean, if you look at what's going on we have about 6000 clients already with us in the IoT space. They tend to be the big end of town, you know whether it be a Daimler or an Airbus or whether it be a Kone, the world's biggest elevator company. Or ISS, the world's biggest facilities management company. So we were doing a lot of work up there really around optimizing their operations, connecting products, wrapping services around them so they can create new revenue streams. But where we didn't have an offering that was being used extensively, was in the start-up space. And you know when we saw what Indiegogo had been doing in the marketplace, and when our partner Arrow, who as Slava has said, has really built up an engineering capability and a component capability to support these makers. It was just a match made in heaven. You know, for an entrepreneur who needs to find a way to capture data, make that data valuable, you know, we can do that. We have the Cloud platform, we have the AI, et cetera. >> It's interesting, we just hit the stride of dude, we have our big data Silicon Valley event just last week, and the big thing that come out of that event is finally the revelation, this is probably not new to Slava and what you're doing, it that, the production under-the-hood hard stuff that's being done is some ways stunting the creativity around some of the cooler stuff. Like whether it's data analytics or in this case, starting a company. So, Slava I want to get your thought on, your views on how the world is becoming democratized. Because if you think about the entrepreneurship trend that you're riding, is the democratization of invention. Alright, there's a democracy, this is the creative, it's the innovation, but yet it's all this hard stuff, like what's called production or under-the-hood that IBM's bringing in. What do you expect that to fuel up? What's your vision of this democratization culture? >> I mean, it's my favorite thing that's happening. I think whether it's YouTube democratizing access to content or Indiegogo democratizing access to capital. The idea of democratizing access to entrepreneurship between our partnership, just really makes me smile. I think that capital is just one of those first points and now they're starting to get the money but lots of other things are hard. When you can actually get artificial intelligence, get Cloud capabilities, get security capabilities, put it into a service so you don't need to figure all those things out on your own so you can go from a small little idea to actually start scaling pretty rapidly, that's super exciting. When you can be on Indiegogo and in four weeks get 30,000 backers of demand across 100 countries, and people are saying, we want this, you know it's good to know you don't need to start ramping up your own dev team to figure out how to create a Cloud on your own, or create your own AI, you can tap right into a server that's provided. Which is really revolutionizing how quickly a small company can scale. So it proliferates more entrepreneurs starting because they know there's more accessibility. Plus it improves their potential for success, which in the long run just means there's more swings at the bat to be able to have and entrepreneur succeed, which I think all of us want. >> Explain to the audience how it works a little bit. You got the global platform that you built up. Arrow brings it's resources and ideation. IBM brings the IoT, the cognitive platform. Talk about how that all comes together and how people take advantage of it? >> Sure, I mean you can look at it as one example, like Water Buy. So Water Buy is an actual sensor that you can deploy against your water system to be able to detect whether or not your water that you're drinking is healthy. You're getting real-time data across your system and for some reason it's telling you that you have issues, you can react accordingly. So that was an idea. You go on Indiegogo, they post that idea and they're able to get the world to start funding it. You get customer engagement. You get actual market validation. And you get funding. Well now you actually need to make these sensors, you need to make these products, so now you get the partnership with Arrow which is really helpful cause they're helping you with the engineering, the design, the components. Now you want to be able to figure out how you can store all that data. So it's not just your own house, maybe you're evaluating across an entire neighborhood. Or as a State you want to see how the water is for the whole entire State. You put all of that data up into the Cloud, you want to be able to analyze the data rapidly through AI, and similarly this is highly sensitive data so you want it to be secure. If Water Buy on their own, had to build out all of this infrastructure, we're talking about dozens, hundreds, who knows how many people they would need? But here through the partnership you get the benefit of Indiegogo to get the brilliant idea to actually get validated, Arrow to bring your idea from the back of a napkin into reality, and then you get IBM Watson to help with all the software components and Cloud that we just talked about. >> And how did this get started? How did you guys, you know, fall into this, and how did it manifest itself? >> So can I tell the story? >> Go for it. >> So I love this story, so as Slava's explained at the front end of this it was really a partnership of Arrow and Indiegogo that came out of the need of entrepreneurs to actually build their stuff. You know, you get it funded and then you say, oh boy, now I've got a bunch of orders how do I now make this stuff? And so Arrow had a capability of looking at the way you designed, you know looking at it deeply with their engineers, sourcing the components, putting it together, maybe white-boxing it even for you. So they put that together. Now, we're all seeing that IoT and the connective products are moving for disconnection, which is actually generating data and that data having value. And so Arrow didn't have that capability, we were great partners with Arrow, you know when we all looked at it, the need for AI coming into all these products, the need for security around the connection, the platform that could actually do that connection, we were a logical map here. So we're another set of components, not the physical. You know, we're the Cloud-based components and services that enable these connected devices. >> If you think about like the impact, and it's mind-boggling what the alternative is. You mentioned that the example you gave, they probably might have abandoned the project. So if you think about the scale of these opportunities what the alternative would have been without an Indiegogo, you probably have some anecdotal kind of feeling on this. But any thoughts on what data you can share around, do you have kind of reference point of, okay, we've funded all this and 90% wouldn't have been done or 70% wouldn't have been done. Do you have any flavor for? >> It's hard to know exactly. Obviously many of these folks that come to Indiegogo, if they could've gotten funded on another path earlier in the process, they would have. Indiegogo became really a great choice. Now you're seeing instead of being the last resort, Indiegogo is becoming the first resort because they're getting so much validation and market data. The incredible thing is not to think about it at scale when you think about 500 or 700 thousand entrepreneurs, or over a billion dollars, and it's in virtually every country in the world. If you really just look at it as one product. So like, Flow Hive is just one example. They've revolutionized how honey gets harvested. That product was bought in almost 170 countries around the world and it's something that hadn't been changed in over 150 years. And it's just so interesting to see that if it wasn't for Indiegogo that idea would not go from the back of a napkin to getting funded. And now through these partnerships they're able to realize so much more of their potential. >> So it's interesting, the machine learning piece is interesting to me because you take the seed-funding which is great product-market fit as they say in the entrepreneurial culture, is validated. So that's cool. But it could be in some cases, small amounts of cash before the next milestone. But if you think about the creativity impact that machine learning can give the entrepreneur, with through in their discovery process, early stage, that's an added benefit to the entrepreneur. >> Absolutely. Yeah, a great example there is against SmartPlate. SmartPlate is trying to use a combination of a weight-sensing plate as well with photo-detection, image detection software. The more data it can feed its image detection, the more qualified it can know, is that a strawberry or a cherry, or is that beef? And we take that for granted that our eyes can detect all that, but it's really remarkable to think about instead of having to journal everything by hand or make sure you pick with your finger what's the right product and how many ounces, you can take a photo of something and now you'll know what you're eating, how much you're eating and what is the food composition? And this all requires significant data, significant processing. >> I'm really pumped about that, congratulations to you on a great deal. I love the creativity and I think the impact to the globe is just phenomenal. Thinking about the game-changing things that are coming up, Slava I've got to ask you, and Deon if you could weigh in too, maybe you have some, your favorites. You're craziest thing that you've seen funded and the coolest thing you've seen funded. (laughter) >> I mean, who is hard because it's kind of like asking well who's your favorite child? I have like 700,000 children, I'm not even Wilt Chamberlain (laughter) and I like them all. But you know it's everything from an activity tracker to security devices, to being able to see what the trend is 24, 36 months ahead. Before things become mainstream today, we're seeing these things 3, 5 years ago. Things are showing up at CES, and you know these are things we get to see in advance. In terms of something crazy, it's not quite IoT but I remember when a young woman tried to raise $200,000 to be able to get enough money for her and Justin Bieber to fly to the moon. (laughter) >> That's crazy. >> That didn't quite get enough funding. But something that's fresh right now is Nimuno Loops is getting funded right now on Indiegogo live. And they just posted less than seven days ago and they have Lego-compatible tape. So it's something that you can tape onto any surface and the other side is actually Lego-compatible so you actually put Legos onto that tape. So imagine instead of only a flat surface to do Legos, you could do Legos on any surface even your jacket. It's not the most IoT-esque product right now but you just asked for something creative. >> That's the creative. >> I think once you got Wilt Chamberlain and Justin Bieber in the conversation, I'm out. (laughter) (crosstalk) >> Well now, how does Indiegogo sustain itself? Does it take a piece of the action? Does it have other funding mechanisms for? >> Yeah, and that's the beautiful thing about Indiegogo. It's a platform and it's all about supply and demand. So supply is the ideas and the entrepreneurs and the demand is the funders. It's totally free to use the website and as long as you're able to get money in your pocket, then we take a percentage. If you're not taking any money into your pocket, then we get no money. As part of the process, you might benefit from actually not receiving money. You might try to raise a hundred grand, only raise thirty-one and learn that your price-point is wrong, your target audience is wrong, your color is wrong, you're bottom cost it too high. All this feedback is super valuable. You just saved yourself a lot of pain. So really it's about building the marketplace we're a platform, we started out just with funding, we're really becoming now a springboard for entrepreneurs. We can't do it all ourselves which is why we're bringing on these great partners. >> You know we've done, just to add to that, I think it's a relevant part here too. We've actually announced a premium-based service for the entrepreneurs to get onto the Cloud, to access the AI, to access the services as a starting point to the complete premium model so they can get started very low barrier to entry and overseeing scale as they grow. >> What do you call that? Is it IBM IoT Premium or? >> It hasn't got a name specifically to the premium element of the, it's just the Watson IoT platform. Available on Blue Mist. >> So it's a Watson sort of, right. So it's like a community edition of Watson. So Deon, new chapter for you. You know I saw a good quarter for mainframes, last quarter. It's still drafting off your great work and now you've shifted to this whole new IoT role, what's that been like? Relatively new initiative for IBM, building on some historical expertise. But give us the update on your business. >> Yes, so about 15 months ago, we announced a global headquarters that we were going to open in Munich, and we announced the Watson IT business. Which brought together a lot of IBM's expertise and a lot of our experience over the years through smarter cities, through the smarter planet initiative. You know we've been working The Internet Of Things, but we made a 3-billion dollar commitment to that marketplace, that we were going to go big and go strong. We've built out a horizontal platform, the Watson IoT platform. On top of that we've got market-leading enterprise asset management software, the Maximo portfolio, TRIRIGA for facilities management. And then we have a whole set of engineering software for designing connected products as well. So we've built out a very comprehensive industry-vertical-aligned IoT business. We added last year, we went from about 4000 to about 6000 clients. So we had a very good year in terms of real enterprises getting real outcomes. We continue to bring out new industry solutions around both connected products and then operations like retail, manufacturing, building management, telco, transportation. We're building out solutions and use-cases to leverage all that software. So business is going well. We officially the Watson IoT headquarters three weeks ago in Munich. And we're jam packed with clients coming through that building, building with us. We've got a lot of clients who've actually taken space in the building. And their using it as a co-laboratory with us to work on PSE's and see the outcomes they can drive. >> Alright, Deon Newman with IoT Watson, and IoT platforms. Slava Rubin, founder of Indiegogo, collective intelligence is cultural shift happening. Congratulations outsourcing and using all that crowdfunding. It's real good data, not just getting the entrepreneur innovations funded but really using that data and your wheelhouse IoT. Thanks for joining us on theCUBE, appreciate it. >> Thank you John. >> More live coverage after this short break, with theCUBE live in Las Vegas for IBM InterConnect. We'll be right back, stay with us. (upbeat music)

OLD VERSION: Deon Newman & Slava Rubin


 

>> Announcer: Live, from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering InterConnect 2017, brought to you by IBM. >> OK, welcome back everyone, live here in Las Vegas for IBM InterConnect 2017. This is theCUBE's coverage of InterConnect. I'm John Furrier, Dave Vellante, my co-host. Our next guest is Deon Newman, CMO of IBM Watson IoT, and Slava Rubin, the founder and Chief Business Officer of Indiegogo. Great keynote today, you're on stage, welcome to theCUBE. Deon, great to see you. >> Thanks for havin' me. >> I got to first set the context. Indiegogo, very successful crowdfunder you guys pioneered. It's pretty obvious now, looking back, this creates so much opportunity for people starting companies, whether it's a labor of love or growing into a great business, so congratulations on your success. What's the IBM connection? Because there was some stuff on the tweets, I don't want to break the news, but you guys are here, share the connection. What's the packaging? Why is IBM and Indiegogo working together? >> Yes, so back up to 2008, we launched to be able to get people access to funding and over the last several years, we've done a pretty good job of that, sending over a billion dollars to over a half a million entrepreneurs around the world, and more recently, we've had a lot more requests of Indiegogo, can you do more? And we knew we couldn't do it all on our own, so we partnered first with Arrow, to be able to bring these ideas more into reality around components and engineering and supply chain, and we knew we needed more in terms of these IoT products, so they need to be smart and they need software, so we were really excited to be able to announce today the partnership with IBM, around everything IoT, clouds, security, and being able to provide all the block chain and any other elements that we need. >> Deon, I want to ask you or get your thoughts on, we have the Watson data platform guys on earlier in the segments, and the composability is now the normal around data, brings the hacker-maker culture to IoT, which, if you think about it, is a sweet spot for some of the innovations. They can start small and grow big. Is that part of the plan? >> I mean, if you look at what's going on, we have about 6,000 clients already working with us in the IoT space. They tend to be the big end of town, whether it be a Daimler or a Airbus, whether it be a KONE, the world's biggest elevator company, or ISS, the world's biggest facilities management company, so we were doin' a lot of work up there, really around optimizing their operations, connecting products, wrapping services around them so that they can create new revenue streams, but where we didn't have an offering that was being used extensively was in the start-ups place, and when we saw what Indiegogo had been doing in the marketplace, and when our partner, Arrow, who, as Slava said, has really built up an engineering capability and a component capability to support these makers, it was just a match made in heaven. For an entrepreneur who needs to find a way to capture data, make that data valuable, we can do that. We have the cloud platform, we have the AI, et cetera. >> It's interesting, we just had the Strata Hadoop, we have our own big data Silicon Valley event last week and the big thing that came out of that event, finally, the revelation, this is probably not new to Slava, what you're doin' is that the production under the hood hard stuff that's being done is, in some ways stunting the creativity around some of the cooler stuff, like whether it's data analytics, or in this case, the startin' a company, so, Slava, I want to get your thoughts on your views on how the world is becoming democratized, because if you think about the entrepreneurship trend that you're riding, there's a democratization of invention. This is the creative, it's the innovation, but yet, there's all this hard stuff, that's called, like, production, or under-the-hood, that IBM's bringin'. What do you expect that to feel up? What's your vision of this democratization culture? >> It's my favorite thing that's happening. I think, whether it's YouTube democratizing access to content, or Indiegogo democratizing access to capital, the idea of democratizing access to entrepreneurship between our partnership, just really makes me smile. I think that capital is just one of those first points and now they're starting to get the money, but lots of other things are hard. When you can actually get artificial intelligence, get cloud capabilities, get security capabilities, put it into a service, so you don't need to figure all those things out on your own, so you can go from a small little idea to actually start scaling pretty rapidly, that's super exciting. When you can be on Indiegogo, and in four weeks, get 30,000 backers of demand across 100 countries, and people are saying, "We want this," it's good to know that you don't need to start ramping up your own dev team to figure out how to create a cloud on your own, or create your own AI, you can tap right into a server that's provided, which has really revolutionizing how quickly a small company can scale, so it proliferates more entrepreneurs starting, 'cause they know there's more accessibility, plus it improves their potential for success, which in the long run, just means there's more swings at the bat to be able to have an entrepreneur succeed, which I think all of us want. >> Explain for the audience how it works a little bit. You got the global platform that you built out, Arrow brings its resources and ideation, IBM brings the IoT, the cognitive platform. Talk about how that all comes together and how people take advantage of it. >> Sure, I mean you can look at it as, one example like WaterBot. So WaterBot is an actual sensor that you can deploy against your water system to be able to detect whether or not your water that you're drinking is healthy. You're getting real-time data across your system and for some reason, it's telling you you have issues, you can react accordingly. So that was an idea. You go on Indiegogo, they post that idea, and they're able to get the world to start funding it. You get customer engagement, you get actual market validation, and you get funding. Well now you actually need to make these sensors, you need to make these products, so now you get the partnership with Arrow, which is really helpful, 'cause they're helping you with the engineering, the design, the components. Now you want to be able to figure out how you can store all that data, so it's not just your own house, maybe you're evaluating across an entire neighborhood, or as a state, you want to see how the water is for the whole entire state. You put all that data up into the cloud, you want to be able to analyze the data rapidly through AI, and similarly, this is highly sensitive data, so you want it to be secure. If WaterBot, on their own, had to build out all this infrastructure, we're talking about dozens, hundreds, who knows how many people they would need, but here, through the partnership, you get the benefit of Indiegogo to get the brilliant idea to actually get validated, Arrow, to bring your idea from back of the napkin into reality, and then you get IBM Watson to help with all of the software components and cloud that we just talked about. >> Great, and how did this get started? How did you guys fall into this and how did it manifest itself? >> Take it, I tell the story? >> Go for it. >> So, I love this story. So, Slava's explained that the front end of this, it was really a partnership of Arrow and Indiegogo that came out of the need of entrepreneurs to actually build their stuff. You know, you get it funded, and then you say, "Oh boy," now I've got a bunch of orders, how do I now make this stuff? And so, Arrow had a capability; of looking at the way you designed, looking deeply with their engineers, sourcing the components, putting together, maybe whiteboxing it even for you, and so, they put that together. Now, we'll all seeing that IoT and the connected products are moving for disconnection, it's actually generating data and that data having value. And so Arrow didn't have that capability, we were great partners with Arrow, you know, when we all looked at it, you know, the need for AI coming into all these products, the need for security around the connection platform, that can actually do that connection, we were a logical map here, so we're another set of components, not the physical. We're the cloud-based components and services that enable these connected devices to sync. >> If you think about the impact, it's mind-boggling with the alternative. You mentioned, the example you gave, they probably might have abandoned the project, so if you think about the scale of these opportunities, what the alternative would have been without an Indiegogo, you probably have some anecdotal feeling on this. Any thoughts on what data you can share, do you have any kind of reference point of like, OK, we funded all this and 90% wouldn't have been done, or 70% wouldn't have been done, do you have any flavor for what's... >> Hard to know exactly. Obviously, many of these folks that came to Indiegogo, if they could have gotten funded on another path, earlier in the process, they would have. Indiegogo became really a great choice. Now you're seeing, instead of being the last resort, Indiegogo's becoming the first resort because they're getting so much validation and market data. The incredible thing is not the thing that adds scale, when you think about 500 or 700,000 entrepreneurs or over a billion dollars and it's in virtually every country in the world, if you really just look at it as one product. So, like, Flow Hive is just one example. They've revolutionized how honey gets harvested. That product was bought in almost 170 countries around the world, and it's something that hasn't been changed in over 150 years, and it's just so interesting to see that, if it wasn't for Indiegogo, that idea would not go from the back of the napkin to getting funded, and now, through these partnerships, they're able to really realize so much more of their potential. >> So, it's interesting, the machine learning piece is interesting to me, because you take the seed funding, which is great, and product market fit as they say in the entrepreneurial culture, is validated, so that's cool, but it could be, in some cases, small amounts of cash before the next milestone, but if you think about the creativity impact that machine learning can give the entrepreneur. >> Slava: Right. >> On their discovery process, early stage, that's an added benefit to the entrepreneur. >> Absolutely. Yeah, a great example bears against SmartPlate. SmartPlate is trying to use the combination of weight sensing plate, as well with photo detection, image detection, and software. The more data it can feed its image detection, the more qualified it can know, "Is that a strawberry or a cherry or is that beef?" Right? And we take that for granted that our eyes can detect all that, but it's really remarkable to think about that instead of having to journal everything by hand or make sure you pick with your finger what's the right product, how many ounces, you can take a photo of something and now it'll know what you're eating, how much you're eating and what is the food composition? And this all requires significant data, significant processing. >> Well, I'm really pumped about that, congratulations, Deon, on a great deal. I love the creativity. I think the impact to the globe is just phenomenal. I mean, by what the game-changing things that are coming out. Slava, I got to ask you, and Deon, if you could weigh in, too, maybe you have some, your favorites, the craziest thing you've seen funded, and the coolest thing you've seen funded. >> Cool is hard, because it's kind of like asking, "Well, who's your favorite child?" I have like 700,000 children, not even Wilt Chamberlain, (laughing) and I like them all. But, you know, it's everything from an activity tracker to security devices, to be able to see what the trend is 24, 36 months ahead. Before things become mainstream today, we're seeing these things three, five years ago. Things are showing up at CES, and these are things we get to see in advance. In terms of something crazy, it's not quite IoT, but I remember when a young woman tried to raise $200,000 to be able to get enough money for her and Justin Bieber to fly to the moon. (laughter) >> That's crazy. >> That didn't get quite enough funding, but something's that flush right now is Nimuno Loops is getting funded right now on Indiegogo Live, and they just posted less than seven days ago and they have Lego-compatible tape, so it's something that you can tape onto any surface, and then the other side is actually Lego-compatible, so you're actually putting Legos onto that tape. So, imagine, instead of only a flat surface to do Legos, you could do Legos on any surfacing, even your jacket. It's not the most IoT-esque product right now, but you just asked for something creative, there you go. >> That's a creative. >> I think once you got Wilt Chamberlain and Justin Bieber in conversation, I am out. (laughter) >> Keepin' it fresh. (voices overlapping) >> Slava, how does Indiegogo sustain itself? Does it take a piece of the action? Does it have other funding mechanisms for... >> The beautiful thing about Indiegogo is, it's a platform and it's all about supply-and-demand, so supply is the ideas and the entrepreneurs, and demand is the funders. It's totally free to use the website and as long as you're able to get money in your pocket, then we take a percentage. If you're not taking any money into your pocket, then we get no money. As part of the process, you might benefit from actually not receiving money. You might try to raise 100 grand, only raise 31, and learn that your price point is wrong, your target audience is wrong, your color is wrong, your bond cost is too high. All this feedback is super value. You just saved yourself a lot of pain, so really it's about building the marketplace. We're a platform, we started out just with funding, we're really becoming now a springboard for entrepreneurs, we can't do it all ourselves, which is why we're bringing on these great partners. >> And you know, we've done, just to add to that, I think it's a relevant part here, too. We've actually announced a freemium-based service for the entrepreneurs to get onto the cloud access, the AI, or to access the services as a starting point, it's a complete freemium model, so that they can get started, very low barrier to entry and obviously, scale as they grow. >> What do you call that? Is it IBM IoT Freemium or is it? >> Hasn't been a name specifically to the Freemium element of it, it's what in IoT platform, available on Bluemix. >> So, it's like a community addition of lots of, so Deon, a new chapter for you, >> Yeah. >> I saw a good quarter for mainframes last quarter, still drafting off your great work, and now you've shifted to this whole new IoT role. What's that been like, relatively new initiative for IBM, building up on some historical expertise, but give us the update on your business. >> It's about 15 months ago, we announced a global headquarters that we're going to open in Munich and we announced the Watson IoT business, which brought together a lot of IBM's expertise and a lot of our experience over the years through Smarter Cities, through the Smarter Planet Initiative, we'd been working the Internet of Things. We'd made a three billion dollar commitment to that marketplace, though we were going to go big and go strong. We've built out a horizontal platform, the Watson IoT platform. On top of that, we've got market-leading enterprise SF management software, the Maximo portfolio, TRIRIGA for facilities management, and then we have a whole set of engineering software for designing connected products as well. So we've built out a very comprehensive industry, vertical-aligned IoT business. We added, last year, we went from about 4,000 to about 6,000 plants, so we had a very good year, in terms of real enterprises getting real outcomes. We continued to bring out new industry solutions around both connected products and then, operations like retail, manufacturing, building management, Tokyo, transportation. We're building out solutions and use-cases to leverage all that software, so business is going well, we officially opened the Watson IoT headquarters three weeks ago in Munich, and we're jampacked with clients coming through that building, building with us. We've got a lot of clients who've actually taken space in the building, and they're using the co-laboratory with us to work on PSEs and see the outcomes they can drive. >> Deon Newman, with Watson IoT platforms. Slava Rubin, founder of Indiegogo. Collective intelligence as cultural shift happening. Congratulations. Crowdsourcing and using all that crowdfunding. It's really good data, not just getting the entrepreneur innovations funded, but really using that data and way in your wheelhouse, IoT. >> Yeah. >> John: Thanks for joining us in theCUBE, appreciate it. More live coverage after this short break. It's theCUBE, live in Las Vegas, for IBM InterConnect. We'll be right back. Stay with us. (theCUBE jingle)

Harriet Green, IBM - IBM Interconnect 2017 - #ibminterconnect - #theCUBE


 

(upbeat music) >> Announcer: Live from Las Vegas. It's The Cube. Covering Interconnect 2017. Brought to you by IBM. >> Welcome back everyone. We are here and live in Las Vegas. This is The Cube's coverage of IBM's Interconnect 2017. Three days of wall to wall coverage. Day two here. I'm John Furrier with my co-host Dave Vellante. Our next guest is Harriet Green, General Manager of Watson IoT, a Cube alumni. Great to see you again. Thanks for coming on The Cube this year again, appreciate it. >> Oh it's my pleasure. I hope we're going to talk about Internet of Things, what's in customer engagement and education. Those are things that we hope to talk about. >> Congratulations. You guys have an IoT center now in Munich. You guys had that big launch there, but the real thing that's happening in context if you could zoom out on this is that we're seeing the trend of cloud and big data world being kind of accelerated together and IoT seems to be the center point of the action because it's industrial, it's business, it's people, it's cars, it's the world now. The data piece of it is really accelerating. Now combine that with machine learning, and the glam of AI, the sizzle of artificial intelligence and cognitive really kind of puts that at the center of the conversation. This is transformative. >> Oh totally and I mean you guys were at the Genius of Things so you know that there were 600 Cs: COs, Chief Innovation Officers, Chief Digital Officers from 400 different companies, accounting for about two trillion of revenues. You're exactly right. It's across every major industry, every major sector. I think there are kind of three critical elements. The first is that with the whole proliferation of sensors and the cost points, etcetera, the amount of data and information that is being created is absolutely suited for Watson. So all of those clients there, as you know, are working with us and we shared 22 major outcomes: things faster, cheaper, better, that clients are actually experiencing. Watson is the differentiator and from an IoT perspective, I think the other piece is for a very long time IBM has proven that we respect and keep people's data perfectly safe. We don't use it, we don't open it, we don't go into it, we're not taking it for a future world of knowledge graph. We consider client's data to be their DNA. People know that when you're doing IoT with IBM that deep level of security is imbued within our capability. Then thirdly, who's data is it? Which is a huge thing in Europe and we're able with our data centers to demonstrate if you want to keep that data within lower Bavaria, that's what we'll do. And those three elements, I think, are fundamental; cognitive, the protection of the data, and who's data is it? >> 'Cause who owns the data is really important. It's a big differentiator because the data informs the model. They're almost intertwined so who owns the model? The client owns the model? Is that correct? >> Yeah, but I think people have over-complicated this, those who perhaps do not have such a simple and clear answer to it. Who don't have written into their terms and conditions that it's actually their data and they can hang onto it for as long as they like. We have always to our clients said it's your data. It's absolutely your data. If we create something together with your data, it's still your data. People only start to confuse this when they have primary and secondary and tertiary levels of confusion to support their particular cause. There is no confusion with our clients. When you talk to the chief digital officers of Shaeffler, of ISS, of SNCF who are up on stage with us yesterday, people who are demonstrating amazing outcomes that they didn't have before with IoT, they will say to you there are three reasons why we went with IBM. The first, the platform. It is the best IoT platform. From an IDC, from a Gottner perspective that's what Forester, what the guys say. Secondly, our applications are very robust and help people get started on this IoT journey. Thirdly, that the digital transformation that is happening alongside this, back to your convergence point, we're also able to assist with our GPS IoT practice. >> And you're accelerating that too. Ginni Rometty on stage talking about how that Watson's learning faster by industry but it's not a silo thing. It's actually accelerating the transformation components. >> Well, you put your finger on that precisely because the amazing thing about the Internet of Things is it's not just consumer, it's not just one industry. We're interfacing 34 different industries who are represented at the Genius of Things. It's also affecting life. Yesterday you may have seen ISS and their amazing building that they've created, which now as you arrive at terminal five, wherever it is, a huge rush and suddenly the elevators don't work. Remotely these elevators are being fixed and the journey is absolutely amazing. It is kind of is industry. >> That social good angle is important is the cognitive for social good trend going on right now culturally. That's really important. But I want to ask you- >> But I do think on the ... Ginni announced in Davos our cognitive principle. There's no client working with us that doesn't know we're working from a cognitive perspective. We go to great levels to explain what we are doing, to whom it belongs and that charter is not something that we just came up with. That's IBM for 105 years. It's why I chose to come here around the Internet of Things. >> It's super inspirational for me personally and I want to ask you about a topic that's passionate for us as an organization. We've had the largest library of women in tech, going back to 2010, we've been interviewing some of the great leaders in the tech industry. This is really now going really amazing. You heard Mark Benning up on stage talking about all the goodness going on around equality and pay, everything else going on but there's more women now instrumental in all the computer science and business side. How are you continuing that? We talked a little bit about this last year with the mentoring. How do you attract the talent? How do you get that inspiration for the young women and girls out there from whether grade school, high school, college? What's the plan? >> Well, first of all I think IBM has on every level a proven history of diversity. 35 years before the equal pay act we were equal paying. We have an incredibly diverse cultural environment where regardless of your age, your sex, your color, your creed, your sexuality, or your physical ability if you're good you'll get on. IBM lives and breathes that in every sense. Now I think the challenge is in North America particularly, in the 80s 30% of young women were going into the STEM subjects and now it's dropped just below 18%. I think it's absolutely critical that investors in companies are thinking about this equality and measuring the power of diversity and innovation. That leaders inside of businesses do more than just pontificate on stage but live on breath it. as Ginni >> Walk the talk. >> Harriet: Does. And then also that all of us in our decision making, particularly, I did for International Women's Week last week a whole webx around inclusion and how we include, how we exclude, and I shared a particular story of a couple of weeks ago some said to me you're just such a left field candidate, Harriet. And maybe that's a compliment. He happens to be a very nice guy and maybe he's right but we want people to feel inclusive. One of the most amazing things that IBM has done for some time which is almost unique, up there with Watson, is we do this to attract millennials particularly, but anyone can participate. It's a program where we take people who go in a totally immersive six or seven weeks. It may be human trafficking in Thailand. It may be helping to train and educate in sub-Saharan Africa and they work with local bodies, local institutions, really helps build this collaborative capability. And then all of the work we're doing with Ptech around up-skilling and ensuring that the STEM subjects from a very wide range of young people are really embraced. >> Harriet, you're getting requested 'cause you got to move around the events so many places and your time is very scarce and you have to move to the next event. Thank you for taking the time to share that with us and also the awesomeness around IoT and Watson. Appreciate and good to see you. You look great. This is IBM Interconnect. Harriet Green the leader of Watson IoT Customer Engagement and Support. I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante. We'll be right back with more after this short break. (upbeat music)

Dr. Amr Awadallah - Interview 2 - Hadoop World 2011 - theCUBE


 

Yeah, I'm Aala, They're the co-founder back to back. This is the cube silicon angle.com, Silicon angle dot TV's production of the cube, our flagship telecasts. We go out to the event. That was a great conversation. I was really just, just cool. I could have, we could have probably hit on a few more things, obviously well read. Awesome. Co-founder of Cloudera a. You were, you did a good job teaming up with that co-founder, huh? Not bad on the cube, huh? He's not bad on the cube, isn't he? He, >>He reads the internet. >>That's what I'm saying. >>Anything is going on. >>He's a cube star, you know, And >>Technology. Jeff knows it. Yeah. >>We, we tell you, I'm smarter just by being in Cloudera all those years. And I actually was following what he was saying, Sad and didn't dust my brain. So, Okay, so you're back. So we were talking earlier with Michaels and about the relational database thing. So I kind of pick that up where we left off with you around, you know, he was really excited. It's like, you know, hey, we saw that relational database movement happen. He was part of that. Yeah, yeah. That generation. And then, but things were happening or kind of happening the same way in a similar way, still early. So I was trying to really peg with him, how early are we, like, so, you know, as the curve, you know, this is 1400, it's not the Javit Center yet. Maybe the Duke world, you know, next year might be at the Javit Center, 35,000 just don't go to Vegas. So I'm trying to figure out where we are on that curve. Yeah. And we on the upwards slope, you know, down here, not even hitting that, >>I think, I think, I think we're moving up quicker than previous waves. And actually if you, if you look for example, Oracle, I think it took them 15, 20 years until they, they really became a mature company, VM VMware, which started about, what, 12, 13 years ago. It took them about maybe eight years to, to be a big company, met your company, and I'm hoping we're gonna do it in five. So a couple more years. >>Highly accelerated. >>Yes. But yeah, we see, I mean, I'm, I'm, I've been surprised by the growth. I have been, Right? I've been told, warned about enterprise software and, and that it takes long for production to take place. >>But the consumerization trend is really changing that. I mean, it seems to be that, yeah, the enterprises always last. Why the shorter >>Cycle? I think the shorter cycle is coming from having the, the, the, the right solution for the right problem at the right time. I think that's a big part of it. So luck definitely is a big part of this. Now, in terms of why this is changing compared to a couple of dec decades ago, why the adoption is changing compared to a couple of decades ago. I, I think that's coming just because of how quickly the technology itself, the underlying hardware is evolving. So right now, the fact that you can buy a single server and it has eight cores to 16 cores has 12 hards to terabytes. Each is, is something that's just pushing the, the, the, the limits what you can do with the existing systems and hence making it more likely for new systems to disrupt them. >>Yeah. We can talk about a lot. It's very easy for people to actually start a, a big data >>Project. >>Yes. For >>Example. Yes. And the hardest part is, okay, what, what do I really, what problem do I need to solve? How am I gonna, how am I gonna monetize it? Right? Those are the hard parts. It's not the, not the underlying >>Technology. Yes, Yes, that's true. That's true. I mean, >>You're saying, eh, you're saying >>Because, because I'm seeing both so much. I'm, I'm seeing both. I'm seeing both. And like, I'm seeing cases where you're right. There's some companies that was like, Oh, this Hadoop thing is so cool. What problem can I solve with it? And I see other companies, like, I have this huge problem and, and, and they don't know that HA exists. It's so, And once they know, they just jump on it right away. It's like, we know when you have a headache and you're searching for the medicine in Espin. Wow. It >>Works. I was talking to Jeff Hiba before he came on stage and, and I didn't even get to it cuz we were so on a nice riff there. Right. Bunch of like a musicians playing the guitar together. But like he, we talked about the it and and dynamics and he said something that I thoughts right. On money and SAP is talking the same thing and said they're going to the lines of business. Yes. Because it is the gatekeeper that's, it's like selling mini computers to a mainframe selling client servers from a mini computer team. Yeah. >>There's not, we're seeing, we're seeing both as well. So more likely the, the former one meaning, meaning that yes, line of business and departments, they adopt the technology and then it comes in and they see there's already these five different departments having it and they think, okay, now we need to formalize this across the organization. >>So what happens then? What are you seeing out there? Like when that happens, that mean people get their hands on, Hey, we got a problem to solve. Yeah. Is that what it comes down to? Well, Hadoop exist. Go get Hadoop. Oh yeah. They plop it in there and I what does it do? They, >>So they pop it into their, in their own installation or on the, on the cloud and they show that this actually is working and solving the problem for them. Yeah. And when that happens, it's a very, it's a very easy adoption from there on because they just go tell it, We need this right now because it's solving this problem and it's gonna make, make us much >>More money moving it right in. Yes. No problems. >>Is is that another reason why the cycle's compressed? I mean, you know, you think client server, there was a lot of resistance from it and now it's more much, Same thing with mobile. I mean mobile is flipped, right? I mean, so okay, bring it in. We gotta deal with it. Yep. I would think the same thing. We, we have a data problem. Let's turn it into an >>Opportunity. Yeah. In my, and it goes back to what I said earlier, the right solution for the right problem at the right time. Like when they, when you have larger amounts of unstructured data, there isn't anything else out there that can even touch what had, can >>Do. So Amar, I need to just change gears here a minute. The gaming stuff. So we have, we we're featured on justin.tv right now on the front page. Oh wow. But the numbers aren't coming in because there's a competing stream of a recently released Modern Warfare three feature. Yes. Yes. So >>I was looking for, we >>Have to compete with Modern Warfare three. So can you, can we talk about Modern Warfare three for a minute and share the folks what you think of the current version, if any, if you played it. Yeah. So >>Unfortunately I'm waiting to get back home. I don't have my Xbox with me here. >>A little like a, I'm talking about >>My lines and business. >>Boom. Water warfares like a Christmas >>Tree here. Sorry. You know, I love, I'm a big gamer. I'm a big video gamer at Cloudera. We have every Thursday at five 30 end office, we, we play Call of of Beauty version four, which is modern world form one actually. And I challenge, I challenge people out there to come challenge our team. Just ping me on Twitter and we'll, we'll do a Cloudera versus >>Let's, let's, let's reframe that. Let team out. There am Abalas company. This is the geeks that invent the future. Jeff Haer Baer at Facebook now at Cloudera. Hammerer leading the charge. These guys are at gamers. So all the young gamers out there am are saying they're gonna challenge you. At which version? >>Modern Warfare one. >>Modern Warfare one. Yes. How do they fire in? Can you set up an >>External We'll >>We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. Okay. >>Yeah. Just p me on Twitter and We'll, >>We can carry it live actually we can stream that. Yeah, >>That'd be great. >>Great. >>Yeah. So I'll tell you some of our best Hadooop committers and Hadoop developers pitch >>A picture. Modern Warfare >>Three going now Model Warfare three. Very excited about the game. I saw the, the trailers for it looks, graphics look just amazing. Graphics are amazing. I love the Sirius since the first one that came out. And I'm looking forward to getting back home to playing the game. >>I can't play, my son won't let me play. I'm such a fumbler with the Hub. I'm a keyboard controller. I can't work the Xbox controller. Oh, I have a coordination problem my age and I'm just a gluts and like, like Dad, sorry, Charity's over. I can I play with my friends? You the box. But I'm around big gamer. >>But, but in terms of, I mean, something I wanted to bring up is how to link up gaming with big data and analysis and so on. So like, I, I'm a big gamer. I love playing games, but at the same time, whenever I play games, I feel a little bit guilty because it's kind of like wasted time. So it's like, I mean, yeah, it's fun and I'm getting lots of enjoyment on it makes my life much more cheerful. But still, how can we harness all of this, all of these hours that gamers spend playing a game like Modern Warfare three, How can we, how can we collect instrument, all of the data that's coming from that and coming up, for example, with something useful with predicted. >>This is exactly, this is exactly the kind of application that's mainstream is gaming. Yeah. Yeah. Danny at Riot G is telling me, we saw him at Oracle Open World. He's up there for the Java one. He said that they, they don't really have a big data platform and their business is about understanding user behavior rep tons of data about user playing time, who they're playing with. Yeah, Yeah. How they want us to get into currency trading, You know, >>Buy, I can't, I can't mention the names, but some of the biggest giving companies out there are using Hadoop right now. And, and depending on CDH for doing exactly that kind of thing, creating >>A good user experience >>Today, they're doing it for the purpose of enhancing the user experience and improving retention. So they do track everything. Like every single bullet, you fire everything in best Ball Head, you get everything home run, you do. And, and, and in, in a three >>Type of game consecutive headshot, you get >>Everything, everything is being Yeah. Headshot you get and so on. But, but as you said, they are using that information today to sell more products and, and, and retain their users. Now what I'm suggesting is that how can you harness that energy for the good as well? I mean for making money, money is good and everything, but how can you harness that for doing something useful so that all of this entertainment time is also actually productive time as well. I think that'd be a holy grail in this, in this environment if we >>Can achieve that. Yeah. It used to be that corn used to be the telegraph of the future of about, of applications, but gaming really is, if you look at gaming, you know, you get the headset on. It's a collaborative environment. Oh yeah. You got unified communications. >>Yeah. And you see our teenager kids, how, how many hours they spend on these things. >>You got play as a play environments, very social collaborative. Yeah. You know, some say, you know, we we're saying, what I'm saying is that that's the, that's the future work environment with Skype evolving. We're our multiplayer game's called our job. Right? Yeah. You know, so I'm big on gaming. So all the gamers out there, a has challenged you. Yeah. Got a big data example. What else are we seeing? So let's talk about the, the software. So we, one of the things you were talking about that I really liked, you were going down the list. So on Mike's slide he had all the new features. So around the core, can you just go down the core and rattle off your version of what, what it means and what it is. So you start off with say H Base, we talked about that already. What are the other ones that are out there? >>So the projects that we have right there, >>The projects that are around those tools that are being built. Cause >>Yeah, so the foundational, the foundational one as we mentioned before, is sdfs for storage map use for processing. Yeah. And then the, the immediate layer above that is how to make MAP reduce easier for the masses. So how can, not everybody knows how to learn map, use Java, everybody knows sql, right? So, so one of the most successful projects right now that has the highest attach rate, meaning people usually when they install had do installed as well is Hive. So Hive takes sequel and so Jeff Harm Becker, my co-founder, when he was at Facebook, his team built the Hive system. Essentially Hive takes sql so you don't have to learn a new language, you already know sql. And then converts that into MAP use for you. That not only expands the developer base for how many people can use adu, but also makes it easier to integrate Hadoop through all DBC and JDBC integrated with BI tools like MicroStrategy and Tableau and Informatica, et cetera, et cetera. >>You mentioned R too. You mentioned R Program R >>As well. Yeah, R is one of our best partnerships. We're very, very happy with them. So that's, that's one of the very key projects is Hive assisted project to Hive ISS called Pig. A pig Latin is a language that ya invented that you have to learn the language. It's very easy, it's very easy to learn compared to map produce. But once you learn it, you can, you can specify very deep data pipelines, right? SQL is good for queries. It's not good for data pipelines because it becomes very convoluted. It becomes very hard for the, the human brain to understand it. So Pig is much more natural to the human. It's more like Pearl very similar to scripting kind of languages. So with Peggy can write very, very long data pipelines, again, very successful projects doing very, very well. Another key project is Edge Base, like you said. So Edge Base allows you to do low latencies. So you can do very, very quick lookups and also allows you to do transactions. So you can do updates in inserts and deletes. So one of the talks here that had World we try to recommend people watch when the videos come out is the Talk by Jonathan Gray from Facebook. And he talked about how they use Edge Base, >>Jonathan, something on here in the Cube later. Yeah. So >>Drill him on that. So they use Edge Base now for many, many things within Facebook. They have a big team now committed to building an improving edge base with us and with the community at large. And they're using it for doing their online messaging system. The live mail system in Facebook is powered by Edge Base right now. Again, Pro and eBay, The Casini project, they gave a keynote earlier today at the conference as well is using Edge Base as well. So Edge Base is definitely one of the projects that's growing very, very quickly right now within the Hudu system. Another key project that Jeff alluded to earlier when he was on here is Flum. So Flume is very instrumental because you have this nice system had, but Hadoop is useless unless you have data inside it. So how do you get the data inside do? >>So Flum essentially is this very nice framework for having these agents all over your infrastructure, inside your web servers, inside your application servers, inside your mobile devices, your network equipment that collects all of that data and then reliably and, and materializes it inside Hado. So Flum does that. Another good project is Uzi, so many of them, I dunno how, how long you want me to keep going here, But, but Uzi is great. Uzi is a workflow processing system. So Uzi allows you to define a series of jobs. Some of them in Pig, some of them in Hive, some of them in map use. You can define a series of them and then link them to each other and say, only start this job when these other jobs, two jobs finish because I'm waiting for the input from them before I can kick off and so on. >>So Uzi is a very nice framework that will will do that. We'll manage the whole graph of jobs for you and retry things when they fail, et cetera, et cetera. Another good project is where W H I R R and where allows you to very easily start ADU cluster on top of Amazon. Easy two on top of Rackspace, virtualized environ. It's more for kicking off, it's for kicking off Hadoop instances or edge based instances on any virtual infrastructure. Okay. VMware, vCloud. So that it supports all of the major vCloud, sorry, all of the me, all of the major virtualized infrastructure systems out there, Eucalyptus as well, and so on. So that's where W H I R R ARU is another key project. It's one, it's duck cutting's main kind of project right now. Don of that gut cutting came on stage with you guys has, So Aru ARO is a project about how do we encode with our files, the schema of these files, right? >>Because when you open up a text file and you don't know how to what the columns mean and how to pars it, it becomes very hard to work for it. So ARU allows you to do that much more easily. It's also useful for doing rrp. We call rtc remove procedure calls for having different services talk to each other. ARO is very useful for that as well. And the list keeps going on and on Maha. Yeah. Which we just, thanks for me for reminding me of my house. We just added Maha very recently actually. What is that >>Adam? I'm not >>Familiar with it. So Maha is a data mining library. So MAHA takes some of the most popular data mining algorithms for doing clustering and regression and statistical modeling and implements them using the map map with use model. >>They have, they have machine learning in it too or Yes, yes. So that's the machine learning. >>So, So yes. Stay vector to machines and so on. >>What Scoop? >>So Scoop, you know, all of them. Thanks for feeding me all the names. >>The ones I don't understand, >>But there's so many of them, right? I can't even remember all of them. So Scoop actually is a very interesting project, is short for SQL to Hadoop, hence the name Scoop, right? So SQ from SQL and Oops from Hadoop and also means Scoop as in scooping up stuff when you scoop up ice cream. Yeah. And the idea for Scoop is to make it easy to move data between relational systems like Oracle metadata and it is a vertical and so on and Hadoop. So you can very simply say, Scoop the name of the table inside the relation system, the name of the file inside Hadoop. And the, the table will be copied over to the file and Vice and Versa can say Scoop the name of the file in Hadoop, the name of the table over there, it'll move the table over there. So it's a connectivity tool between the relational world and the Hadoop world. >>Great, great tutorial. >>And all of these are Apache projects. They're all projects built. >>It's not part of your, your unique proprietary. >>Yes. But >>These are things that you've been contributing >>To, We're contributing to the whole ecosystem. Yes. >>And you understand very well. Yes. And >>And contribute to your knowledge of the marketplace >>And Absolutely. We collaborate with the, with the community on creating these projects. We employ committers and founders for many of these projects. Like Duck Cutting, the founder of He works in Cloudera, the founder for that UIE project. He works at Calera for zookeeper works at Calera. So we have a number of them on stuff >>Work. So we had Aroon from Horton Works. Yes. And and it was really good because I tell you, I walk away from that conversation and I gotta say for the folks out there, there really isn't a war going on in Apache. There isn't. And >>Apache, there isn't. I mean isn't but would be honest. Like, and in the developer community, we are friends, we're working together. We want to achieve the, there's >>No war. It's all Kumbaya. Everyone understands the rising tide floats, all boats are all playing nice in the same box. Yes. It's just a competitive landscape in Horton. Works >>In the business, >>Business business, competitive business, PR and >>Pr. We're trying to be friendly, as friendly as we can. >>Yeah, no, I mean they're, they're, they're hying it up. But he was like, he was cool. Like, Hey, you know, we know each other. Yes. We all know each other and we're just gonna offer free Yes. And charge with support. And so are they. And that's okay. And they got other things going on. Yes. But he brought up the question. He said they're, they're launching a management console. So I said, Tyler's got a significant lead. He kind of didn't really answer the question. So the question is, that's your core bread and butter, That's your yes >>And no. Yes and no. I mean if you look at, if you look at Cloudera Enterprise, and I mentioned this earlier and when we talked in the morning, it has two main things in it. Cloudera Enterprise has the management suite, but it also has the, the the the support and maintenance that we provide to our customers and all the experience that we have in our team part That subscription. Yes. For a description. And I, I wanna stress the point that the fact that I built a sports car doesn't mean that I'm good at running that sports car. The driver of the car usually is much better at driving the car than the guy who built the car, right? So yes, we have many people on staff that are helping build had, but we have many more people on stuff that helped run Hado at large scale, at at financial indu, financial industry, retail industry, telecom industry, media industry, health industry, et cetera, et cetera. So that's very, very important for our customer. All that experience that we bring in on how to run the system technically Yeah. Within these verticals. >>But their strategies clear. We're gonna create an open source project within Apache for a management consult. Yes. And we sell support too. Yes. So there'll be a free alternative to management. >>So we have to see, But I mean we look at the product, I mean our products, >>It's gotta come down to product differentiation. >>Our product has been in the market for two years, so they just started building their products. It's >>Alpha, It's just Alpha. The >>Product is Alpha in Alpha right now. Yeah. Okay. >>Well the Apache products, it is >>Apache, right? Yeah. The Apache project is out. So we'll see how it does it compare to ours. But I think ours is way, way ahead of anything else out there. Yeah. Essentially people to try that for themselves and >>See essentially, John, when I asked Arro why does the world need Hortonwork? You know, eventually the answer we got was, well it's free. It needs to be more open. Had needs to be more open. >>No, there's, >>It's going to be, That's not really the reason why Warton >>Works. >>No, they want, they want to go make money. >>Exactly. We wasn't >>Gonna say them you >>When I kept pushing and pushing and that's ultimately the closest we can get cuz you >>Just listens. Not gonna >>12 open source projects. Yes. >>I >>Mean, yeah, yeah. You can't get much more open. Yeah. Look >>At management >>Consult, but Airs not shooting on all those. I mean, I mean not only we are No, no, not >>No, no, we absolutely >>Are. No, you are contributing. You're not. But that's not all your projects. There's other people >>Involved. Yeah, we didn't start, we didn't start all of these projects. Yeah, that's >>True. You contributing heavily to all of them. >>Yes, we >>Are. And that's clear. Todd Lipkin said that, you know, he contributed his first patch to HPAC in 2008. Yes. So I mean, you go back through the ranks >>Of your people and Todd now is a committer on Edge base is a committer on had itself. So on a number >>Of you clearly the lead and, and you know, and, but >>There is a concern. But we, we've heard it and I wanna just ask you No, no. So there's a concern that if I build processes around a proprietary management console, Yes. I'm gonna end up being locked into that proprietary management CNA all over again. Now this is so far from ca Yes. >>Right. >>But that's a concern that some people have expressed. And, and, and I think one of the reasons why Port Works is getting so much attention. So Yes. >>Talk about that. It's, it's a very good, it's a very good observation to make. Actually, >>There there is two separate things here. There's the platform where all the data sets and then there's this management parcel beside the platform. Now why did we make the management console why the cloud didn't make the management console? Because it makes our job for supporting the customers much more achievable. When a customer calls in and says, We have a problem, help us fix this problem. When they go to our management console, there is a button they click that gives us a dump of the state, of the cluster. And that's what allows us to very quickly debug what's going on. And within minutes tell them you need to do this and you to do that. Yeah. Without that we just can't offer the support services. There's >>Real value there. >>Yes. So, so now a year from, But, but, but you have to keep in mind that the, the underlying platform is completely open source and free CBH is completely a hundred percent open source, a hundred percent free, a hundred percent Apache. So a year from now, when it comes time to renew with us, if the customer is not happy with our management suite is not happy with our support data, they can, they can go to work >>And works. People are afraid >>Of all they can go to ibm. >>The data, you can take the data that >>You don't even need to take the data. You're not gonna move the data. It's the same system, the same software. Every, everything in CDH is Apache. Right? We're not putting anything in cdh, which is not Apache. So a year from now, if you're not happy with our service to you and the value that we're providing, you can switch. There is no lock in. There is no lock. And >>Your, your argument would be the switching costs to >>The only lock in is happiness. The only lock in is which >>Happiness inspection customer delay. Which by, by the way, we just wrote a piece about those wars and we said the risk of lockin is low. We made that statement. We've got some heat for it. Yes. And >>This is sort of at scale though. What the, what the people are saying, they're throwing the tomatoes is saying if this is, again, in theory at scale, the customers are so comfortable with that, the console that they don't switch. Now my argument was >>Yes, but that means they're happy with it. That means they're satisfied and happy >>With it. >>And it's more economical for them than going and hiding people full-time on stuff. Yeah. >>So you're, you're always on check as, as long as the customer doesn't feel like Oracle. >>Yeah. See that's different. Oracle is very, Oracle >>Is like different, right? Yeah. Here it's like Cisco routers, they get nested into the environment, provide value. That's just good competitive product strategy. Yes. If it they're happy. Yeah. It's >>Called open washing with >>Oracle, >>I mean our number one core attribute on the company, the number one value for us is customer satisfaction. Keeping our people Yeah. Our customers happy with the service that we provide. >>So differentiate in the product. Yes. Keep the commanding lead. That's the strategist. That's the, that's what's happening. That's your goal. Yes. >>That's what's happening. >>Absolutely. Okay. Co-founder of Cloudera, Always a pleasure to have you on the cube. We really appreciate all the hospitality over the beer and a half. And wanna personally thank you for letting us sit in your office and we'll miss you >>And we'll miss you too. We'll >>See you at the, the Cube events off Swing by, thanks for coming on the cube and great to see you and congratulations on all your success. >>Thank >>You. And thanks for the review on Modern Warfare three. Yeah, yeah. >>Love me again. If there any gaming stuff, you know, I.

SUMMARY :

Yeah, I'm Aala, They're the co-founder back to back. Yeah. So I kind of pick that up where we left off with you around, you know, he was really excited. So a couple more years. takes long for production to take place. But the consumerization trend is really changing that. So right now, the fact that you can buy a single server and it It's very easy for people to actually start a, a big data Those are the hard parts. I mean, It's like, we know when you have a headache and you're On money and SAP is talking the same thing and said they're going to the lines of business. the former one meaning, meaning that yes, line of business and departments, they adopt the technology and What are you seeing out there? So they pop it into their, in their own installation or on the, on the cloud and they show that this actually is working and Yes. I mean, you know, you think client server, there was a lot of resistance from for the right problem at the right time. Do. So Amar, I need to just change gears here a minute. of the current version, if any, if you played it. I don't have my Xbox with me here. And I challenge, I challenge people out there to come challenge our team. So all the young gamers out there am are saying they're gonna challenge you. Can you set up an We'll figure it out. We can carry it live actually we can stream that. Modern Warfare I love the Sirius since the first one that came out. You the box. but at the same time, whenever I play games, I feel a little bit guilty because it's kind of like wasted time. Danny at Riot G is telling me, we saw him at Oracle Open World. Buy, I can't, I can't mention the names, but some of the biggest giving companies out there are using Hadoop So they do Now what I'm suggesting is that how can you harness that energy for the good as well? but gaming really is, if you look at gaming, you know, you get the headset on. So around the core, can you just go down the core and rattle off your version of what, The projects that are around those tools that are being built. Yeah, so the foundational, the foundational one as we mentioned before, is sdfs for storage map use You mentioned R too. So one of the talks here that had World we Jonathan, something on here in the Cube later.
