Episode 38
The Big Themes:
- What CXOs need to know about hybrid cloud: Wayne walks us through a number different, equally valid hybrid cloud models and explains key security implications when moving to hybrid cloud
- Look out for “fake cloud” models: CXOs need to be on guard against terms like “virtualization” and “hyper-converged,” tactics that might make sense for their company but which are definitely not cloud
- The pros and cons of becoming a software creator: amid all the talk about co-creation models between cloud vendors and customers, Wayne offers some critical advice based on his past experience working on both sides
The Big Quote: “If you get something listed in the Microsoft Store, or the Oracle store, or the Google Store, or the IBM store, and it is a solution for a problem others have and your software is good, your scalability of that product is almost infinite.”
