cloud migrations

The episode kicked off with a focus on the current cybersecurity landscape, particularly the Screen Connect issue and ConnectWise's response. Timely and effective responses to such incidents are critical, and Eric shed light on the importance of community within the IT sector in tackling these challenges. The role of IT community is essential in fostering a collaborative environment where shared experiences and knowledge can lead to improved security measures and IT strategies.

All Things MSP Group and Educational Content

Eric Anthony shares the origin of the "All Things MSP" Facebook group and his motivation for starting it. The discussion also touches on the educational content, including a planned mini-class on preparing help desks for AI. Our conversation then expands to the role of community in IT, a topic Eric knows well through his work at Egnyte.

The MSP industry is a treasure trove of opportunities, and we're mapping out the terrain for you. From the expanding role of managing Microsoft 365 to the emerging influence of AI tools like Chat GPT and Microsoft Co-pilot, we share strategies that help desks can employ to stay ahead of the curve. We'll also challenge the assumption that social media is the best place for community building. 

Additionally, we highlight the collaboration with Super Ops for an upcoming show, where we'll be joined by other community members to share insights and experiences from the IT industry.

Each week, Eric Gregory, Sr. Technical Writer, and Nick Chase, Director of Technical Marketing & Developer Relations, break down the interesting & impactful stories from across the cloud native technology landscape. Nick wasn't able to make it this week, but Eric is joined by special guest host John Jainschigg! John is the Director of Open Source Initiatives at Mirantis, and one of the most technically knowledgable members of our team. Eric & John discuss two major organizations transitioning to cloud native models, a new vulnerability in the NGINX Ingress Controller, the impact of machine learning on both 5G security & astronomy, and much more! 

This weeks topics include:

• Security firm Lightspin discovers NGINX Ingress Controller vulnerability
• FedEx quantifies the "digital transformation"
• Gov.UK PaaS sunsetted in favor of public clouds & Kubernetes
• BIG public cloud news: AWS surpassed by Azure as #1 cloud provider
• Machine learning's impact on 5G & Edge
• Webb Space Telescope images & AI
• Island paradise ponders tax-free, "digital nomad" visa

As mentioned by Eric, this (RCN #49) will be the final episode of Radio Cloud Native (in it's current format).

Please keep the podcast in your feed and keep an eye out for fresh content. Sometime early in this new year, the team at Mirantis is planning to revamp Radio Cloud Native (possibly under a new name, but accessible from this same RSS feed).

Thank you to all of our listeners that kept Radio Cloud Native going over the past two-or-so years. And a special thanks as well as good luck to long-time host Eric Gregory as he pursues future endeavors outside of Mirantis. Stay tuned for more podcasts from Mirantis in 2024!

Bryan Woodworth (Solutions Strategist @Aviatrix) talks about the evolution of Cloud migrations, security best practices, and how to organize for migration success.

Topic 2 - It’s 2022, walk me through a typical cloud migration for a company? What are their considerations, concerns, common mistakes, etc.?

Topic 3 - Who within the company is typically driving the cloud migration? What are their goals or success metrics? And how often do they misunderstand what the cloud provider does and what the company has to do – especially around security? 

Topic 4 - All the clouds are a little bit different, but companies would really like them to look and act the same. How do companies deal with those challenges, from a networking and security standpoint?

Topic 5 - Where and how does Aviatrix come into the picture when companies are doing Cloud migrations? 

Topic 6 - For a company that might be new to Cloud migrations, what are some lessons-learned from the past that they can use to avoid common mistakes?

SHOW NOTES:

• Azure Migration Center
• Cloud Migration Framework and Assessment

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You’ve had the opportunity to work on a number of things at Microsoft. Tell us about your current role, as well as how it’s been to see the transition at Microsoft from software company to cloud company?

Topic 2 - Lets start with the concept of migration. Is there a framework that companies use to think about what to migrate to the public cloud?

Topic 3 - Transitions and Testing feel like they are critical for any migration to be successful. How do companies manage to get through an application being in one location vs. being in the cloud? 

Topic 4 - As companies think about the economics &/or ROI of migration, how do they think about all the elements involved (e.g. cost to change an application, cost savings of not owning a data center, cost to re-skill existing staff or hire new, etc..)? 

Topic 5 - COVID-19 has changed everything these past 6 months. Have you seen the profile of a migration change significantly since the pandemic started, or have well-known migration profiles already in place? (e.g. different applications to migration, different pace of migration, etc.)

Topic 6 - Do you find that migrations are being driven top-down at companies, or are they decentralized by groups? How are they being organized these days?

It’s mentioned that 100% are using DynamoDB, 53% are using Elastic Kubernetes, and are fast growing section are using things likes Athena, Glue and Sagemaker. What are some of the types of applications that you’re seeing customer build that leverage these new models? 

Topic 5 - With technologies like Outpost being announced, after so many years of AWS saying “Cloud or legacy Data Center”, how do you see this impacting the thought process of customers or potential customers?
