Day Two Cloud 198: Modern Cloud Design Themes From CFD 17

In today’s Day Two Cloud episode, Ned Bellavance, Ethan Banks, and guest Michael Levan identify themes they noticed in presentations made by enterprise cloud vendors at Cloud Field Day 17, an event hosted by TechFieldDay.com. These themes included platform engineering and data protection and recovery. Vendors mentioned along the way were HYCU (pronounced “haiku”), Morpheus Data, RackN, Zerto and JetStream Software. Yet another theme was that old technology never dies. In the very cloudy Cloud Field Day 17 event, there was an awful lot of VMware discussion, because VMware remains the dominant platform enterprises are running workloads on. Since that’s the reality of modern IT, Ned, Ethan also consider what to make of Kubernetes and consider how IT folks should plan their careers and choose which new technologies to learn next.
