@kirk__ryan @NetApp Best of luck Kirk! It's a long time since you came to see me at Insight and made me want to work here! Can't wait to see your updates on an exciting future!

A sad day.. but an exciting future. @NetApp

@mtjwatts Wow! Ready for the zombie apocalypse with that house!

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas. I am approaching this with anthropological precision. Here are a few observations.

when you need to confirm you're not a robot

You don’t have to catch up, the future of Kubernetes is here. Watch this simple demo of @nigelpoulton deploying a Kubernetes application with native support to @GCPcloud, @awscloud or @Azure. ntap.com/2FBGVmv #Kubernetes

@JohnMartinIT @Chris_Mellor Yep - instead of cash under the mattress, it'll be a secure USB stick or a BIP39 seed phrase stored securely

@Chris_Mellor Hence crypto currency based on distributed ledgers with no central banking apparatus needed ?

If money becomes all digital how do you ever get it out of the banks and store it under your mattress? Cash equals independence from banks who can’t hold you to ransom.

Make sure you register for this one!

XKCD nails it. ❤️ 🧼 🤚

I wrote another big piece, this time on the do’s and dont’s of working from home, after doing it the last 8 years straight. datacenterdude.com/life/working-r…

“What’s a microservice?” “Okay you know how a function can call other functions?” “Yeah, of course” “It’s just like that…but add 15 servers, 2 load balancers, and at least 7 network hops, plus you get to role play in a murder-mystery when anything goes sideways”

Busy day for @NetApp today! - Cloud Volumes service GA on GCP - NetApp HCI certified platform for Google Anthos - Announced as a Platinum member of the @CloudNativeFdn Interesting times ahead!

NetApp Insight points: A400 data reduction HW assist will probably spread across AFF/E-Series range. StorageGRID AFA is seriously good. Elements HCI use of MAX Data could be significant. NetApp QLC adoption in 2020 equally significant. It’s a vibrant company. #NetAppINSIGHT

As an Infosec professional, I can only but approve of this phone unlocking pattern ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@TrevMcKendrick I had a very similar thought here: linkedin.com/pulse/organisa…

@MichaelCade1 As other's has stated, it doesn't *have* to be containers, but does need to deliver on a deployment architecture/methodology. See 12factor.net

Learning Question: Would you say that Cloud Native has to include Containers / Microservices or can a Cloud Native Applications live on EC2 or a more traditional VM type instance? #NoobAlert

More good stuff on HCI definitions and use cases
