Show Notes
Mergers and Acquisitions
Biggest Tech M&A of 2017 and VC Funding is down
Big Mergers: Amazon+Whole Foods; CVS+Aetna; Intel+Mobileye; AT&T+Time Warner; Disney+21st Century Fox
2017 Trends
Storage companies are becoming HCI companies (thoughts on owning a server supply chain vs. software defined vs. commodity hardware)
Containers are becoming more mainstream - but so many misleading “surveys”
Nobody has a clear advantage in “hybrid cloud” architectures
Public cloud is a portfolio game and data acquisition game, not a cost reduction game
Building new applications is still a small % of corporate applications
There’s such a big gap between cloud releases and non-cloud releases (timeframes, updates, informing the market, etc.)
2018 Cloudcast Areas of Interest
What happened to DevOps? Is it now in Phase 2 as “SRE”, or is it unobtainable?
What’s happening in China? How will it impact the rest of the Global markets?
Will AI & ML become tangible to non-Data Scientists? What’s the Fantasy Football of AI & ML, for business?
Where and how will voice technologies (Alexa, Google Home, etc.) fit in long term?
How will we track the Public Cloud tipping point?
What is Serverless most disruptive to, or is it additive to app-dev market size?
Should we track “Serverless” by the ServerlessConf or AWS events?
Should we be following “edge computing”? What are the core focus areas?
2018 Predictions
Continued decline of the middleman in all industries
Awareness of Cloud Computing “costs” becomes more mainstream
Does Security even matter anymore? What bigger events can happen?
