I don't believe in Kubernetes

Sun, 01 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000

I was always a believer in Cloud Computing. Even when some “big executives” called it a fad, I still believed in the cloud—or its promise.

The belief itself is not an achievement. As with so many other people in tech, it spoke to me from a place of understanding. It was not so much an achievement to be had. We may not have called it a cloud, but when Amazon opened the gates of their Web Services to everyone, we saw good things we recognized. We realized it was an opportunity to build better.

The future of networking is software

Tue, 01 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000

I believe the future of networking in the data center is software-based. The water is wet, and thank you for coming to my TED talk.

While what I just mentioned may be obvious to say—given how pretty much everything has its future in software—you would be surprised at the state of the networking industry if you came to it as an outsider. The cloud has already happened, and computing has embraced it with open arms,… tentacles, and whatever else is available. Storage is slower to move but not too far behind. Cloud-scale storage technologies are becoming closer and closer to being commoditized¹. Network—in a way—is the last frontier in the data center that is not yet fully subscribing to cloud ethos.

What is the meaning of that poem?

I am a poet, and that much I can say without the uncertainty I allude to in my public bio sections that read “SysAdmin, Programming Language Tourist, and Petty Dabbler of the Written Word”, or my first post here.

My work as a poet or a writer is mainly to write. But, I write mainly for the sheer joy of reading it back in every way I can. Let me explain that a little bit.
