>> live from Mountain View, California. It's the queue covering definite create twenty nineteen. Brought to You by Cisco >> Welcome back to the cave. Lisa Martin with John Fourier. Live at Cisco Definite Create twenty nineteen at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California John Mayer, please to welcome to the Cube Jeff Levin, sailor collaboration Engineer from Presidio Jeff, It's great to have you joining us today. >> Yes, great to be here. >> So lots of energy. You can hear all this noise behind us. We heard this morning in the key note that the definite community is now well over half a million strong. You mentioned before we went line. This is your second definite creates before we get into our city and Cisco. Tell me a little bit about your involvement in the definite community. >> Uh, so I got >> started just looking for support, and it's not like it's a supported product. This is a new venture for everybody. So you go out and you find these little avenues to get questions answered. And WebEx teams has a great community support and just ask a question ended up answering more questions than I was asking, and, you know, that kind of like got me started down this path of, you know, people bounce ideas off each other So really, this is Ah, homecoming. And it's just people inspiring each other If you really want to learn And deep dive Obviously I'm a self learner, so I'll just sit down and really get into it. But I come here to get inspired and the Kino just >> Will you wait? Yeah. What was the key? What was the highlight for you on the Kino? What was >> anything Ashutosh has to talk about? Ashutosh is on the I guess, the incubator side. He comes up with these things, and his job is to get people excited about the FBI's. So today he had an augmented reality app with his phone and he would go around and show network coverage of a WiFi hot spot. You can go up to an access point and troubleshoot network of problems by seeing if on access, points registered or not. So my mind, I'm thinking how many times I go in the data center and look, I have to plug in a laptop to look to see what the lands on a port. Now, Aiken take that same approach too, you know, put my phone out in a data center, and okay, this witch has ah, this V lands here. I could plug it. Antonito even need to plug my laptop. >> I mean, he first introduced the beginning of that demo at Cisco Live in Barcelona. Totally blown away. He's a demo. God first. Yeah, he's amazing. But it shows the automation right and also shows the new kind of experiences. I think to me what is inspiring to me about this community. I'd love to get your reaction. This is that It kind of shows a new way to do work. And it's all about making life easier, But it's also more capability. You can see all the configurations and then ultimately writing new apse. That seems to be the theme. Create definite curiosity with all these capabilities. Is that kind of something that you're seeing as well? What's your reaction to that? That kind of this new way of doing things. >> Wow. I mean, it's we have a code competition are Presidio called Shark Tank, and it's really just to inspire people. Uh, tell me a business use case for this Use cases really ninety percent of it. You confined help you confined mentors your work. But, uh, really Just finding a use case and stuff like this coming here just thinking about new ways to do things and do things to create >> in collaboration What? Some of the things that you see that are low hanging fruit use cases of either mundane tasks or stuff that just needs to be kind of like, abstracted away. What are some of the things >> I have a ton of those s o. Somebody came to me, a law firm that had these attorney's secretary assignments, and they wanted Secretary is to be able to schedule meetings for attorneys. You could do that in a gooey, but we're seeing more and more is away from the buoy. And it's becoming this FBI first. So anything that's not in the gooey, it's in the AP, I So that's where our values integrators has really become. This gap between the jury and the FBI. So what we did, or what I did is going active directory, have some fields filled out because they're already populated. One thing for this I read from that, and then I goto WebEx a p I and I populated, and that runs a nightly basis. >> You automate thataway. Yeah, piece of cake. But this is the trend. This is kind of what we're seeing happening with Cloud the question that comes up in the enterprises. Look, att. Hey, you know, we've been doing this thing for long times the way we do it. We, You know, ten years ago we built out this system. Don't touch it. But I love the new stuff. How do I get the new stuff in? How do I deal the old stuff, The legacy. And we got containers. Got some news stuff. A p. I's a big part of this integration fabric composing APS. I think you have to show >> that the business value it's it's saving time. It's saving people ours, and it's really checking code into get is something you wouldn't think about. Checking network config. Thing to get is something you wouldn't really think about, Uh, just a year ago. But that's really becoming the trend and having a testable code and, uh, you know, kind of Ah, if something goes wrong, I have a backup. You have somebody you know exactly who did what before it was just people hacking away. >> So let's talk about unlocking value for a second. When you were talking with John about what some of the things that blew your mind during this morning's keynote one I was hearing from you and one senses how how much easier certain functions of yourjob are going to be because of this? What value are you seeing that even just a few things that we were announced this morning is going to bring, too? Not just you and your business, but for city and Cisco's customers? >> Well, I mean So, for instance, the Iraqi thing, uh, they released bulk actions. So AP eyes. Typically, if you write the code one of the time, that's goingto limit your ability to do certain functions. Having all these AP eyes in one and point immediately, I'm thinking cloud formation templates. Name is on but ism Iraqi solution, so you could take this entire network and copy and paste. It is one slice of code. That's tremendous. >> What's the community vibe here? Definite. I mean big invention. >> It's a homecoming. I know all these people have met so many people from other areas and people competitors. We're all friends here, you know, And it's not a marketing ventured all you don't see a lot of people you know, scanning badges and bugging you on email later. This is all about just people hurting out about What they've done >> is we're getting >> the show until >> I like >> that. It's not just the hacker fond, you know, Hey, revenue event. They throw a hackathon over it and it turns out the most these events trees, a marketing event. It's completely eyes that >> unorganized as I would want it to be. There's conversations just passing by in the hallway, and I get just as much out of that as I do in a workshop. >> So you're giving a breakout session later today. Contact center. A eye for more efficient governments. >> Yes, that's a twenty minute lightning talk on just a recent project I did and taking an arm from a solution and be able to do Mohr by moving it up to the cloud. This's Amazon connect could be another one, but just basically enabling through the cloud different functionalities we're using Alexe pot, reason, elastic search, reason Landa and we're we're taking the top ten tickets this help desk would receive and trying to automate this. So I need to reset my pen. I need to transfer me to this person that was an operator before in an Excel spreadsheet. So what we did was completely not change your workflow. They're going to upload it, excels for a cheat and has three. It's going to take a Landau function to separate that spread she into a dynamo database Elastic search, going to read that database. And then Lex Boss is goingto interact with elastic search >> and his all in real time. >> It's all in real time. >> And they thought, this all natural language talking together you're working together, >> working together >> to solve those customer problems or get well that And I guess, get the customer that the ticket routed appropriately. >> Yeah, so there's take a look ups to get creation to get clothes and anything that you would typically anything that you can automate. We've done it within the ivy are and we've measured containment rates. So >> yeah, this is exactly why we've been covering. This is our third year, but here in the beginning, at the creation of the event, because what you just described is so valuable and so kind of basic. If you think about it, the number one tickets that everyone that stack ranked haven't over and over again. But breaking towns this going database for this? I got a database for this. I got a database for this. The old world. You have a waterfall process, you have a product. Project manager. People would go in a round trip meeting after meeting, arguing aboutthe ski mus and databases. And I mean, what would it be like in the old days, if you like, went through the traditional models versus his agile? Hey, let's just put it together. Hackett string up. So maybe eyes sling the FBI's rolling up, wiring up >> siding. Me, you're moving from a static ivy are too self service. And then even more what I think you forget who coined the term. But selfie service. You know more about a user you're able to predictably say, I see you have a ticket open or go a step further and say, I see have email on this phone and we're having active sync issues and only alert those people of issues and not bother everybody else. I see you work out of this office and you're calling in. Are you calling about, uh, you know, your office closure? Because we have a temporary office for you over here, So being able to get ahead of anything and predict that's the next thing >> I know. This really also highlights when we tend to talk about us when these data conferences, where the underlying value being here is the creation and stitching together with solutions. But it's the data that's driving it right. The tickets that ranking the the task getting if these reasoning aspect of reasoning with the data predictive are prescriptive, is a personalization benefit thes air. The things that are exposed on this new way of creating >> there's there's some real exciting, very consumable AP eyes out there. One of them all name is in dico io, and this is something that you could just plug in some data. Then I'll make a prediction using just a bunch of learned data set that it already has, and I'LL give you an example WebEx team space way just chat away, and for months and months, I funnel that data to a simple FBI and it comes back and tells me Who's the angriest person who's the happiest person? There's an f b I for Who's a conservative who's a liberal. There's an A p I. For the Myers Briggs test. >> I'LL get all of this. You are the girl. What's the emiko dot io? Indeed, In dico dico i n d >> i c e o dot io >> Awesome. Well, thanks for sharing that on the AP. I think I want to get your expert opinion on this because this comes up a lot recently. At these conferences, we go to where some oh new way to develop modern applications. Blah, blah, blah, waterfalls going away. Fiber Clavell. That's good stuff. Check, check, Check. At the end of the day that the key ingredient all this is AP AP Eyes are becoming the centre point for one data sharing integration coding Middle, where a new kind of middleware evolving? What's your view on this? Because this is an essential part of integration to like If someone wants to adopt a new product, I want to bring it in. It's really >> recognizing that your use case isn't everybody's used case, so you come from a static, fully functioning product to an FBI first approach, you build the FBI, then you build things around it. So when WebEx teams is released, for instance, it had certain functionality there and certain functionality wasn't there. But you could do it to the FBI. So it's partners and Cisco kind of competing at the same time to come up with a better solution. Any time you compete, you know it's good in any time something is open. It's good. So you have these Open A P I's and you have a community trying to come up with the best solution on DH. It's >> and that's really where communities of shining too right now, because you're going to community. They're great at giving feedback. If something something's not right, raise their hand. Appoint honest >> feedback, right? >> Yeah, competition. So Cisco telling Cisco something's not working. You know, you bring in some other people that maybe they're mohr AP to tell you when something's not working. They don't have any dog in the fight. You know, they'LL tell you if something's not working, they'LL give you feedback, and it really enables a better in product and a product that's more form to tailor fit for that user. That use case, >> which is exactly how it should be. Right? So last question, Jeff, before we wrap up, you already talked about how excited you were with some of the things in the Kino was day one of to >> me >> kind of expectations or hopes and dreams for what you're going to learn the rest of today and tomorrow that will help evolve the Presidio Cisco partnership. >> I mean, one thing is just making connections out here, Uh, but learning? I think so. I'm a collab guy and I'm getting to be more of a developer, and that's making me more of a generalist again. Because as a developer, yu have to interact with more than just collab FBI's. I'm getting into wireless and enterprise and everything security. So what I get out of combat is like, this is going around seeing what's happening and other technologies and other verticals and once again, competitive ideas seeing what other people are doing. Adding to that telling them what I'm doing A >> lot of collaboration pun intended. >> Yeah, You like it If you like puns. The keynote tomorrow is gonna be amazing. >> Is it way watching? Excellent. Jeff, Thanks so much for joining. Joining me on the Cube today. We appreciate your time for Joe inferior. I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching the Cube live from Cisco Dove Net. Create twenty nineteen. Thanks for watching.
