SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You’ve had a broad set of experiences in your career, how did you come into being focused on Cloud and Multi Cloud technologies and solutions? 

Topic 2 - Today we’re talking about the Anthos offering from Google Cloud. A few years ago, the cloud providers were all-in on just public cloud. What have you seen shift in the market that has now created their hybrid or multi-cloud offerings that have broader reach? 

Topic 3 - Lets talk about Google Anthos. What are the core elements, what types of services does it deliver, and what is the overall customer experience? 

Topic 4 - What are some of the newer Anthos capabilities that have been announced and how do they help with hybrid or multi-cloud? (Anthos Migrate, Anthos on AWS/Azure, is there an Anthos “appliance” available for on-premises)?

Topic 5 - Running applications in cloud vs. on-premises is always going to be somewhat different. What are some of the things that Intel does with Google to help improve the overall experience? 

Topic 6 - What are some of the use-cases that you’ve found are early successes for Anthos, or some of the early lessons that companies are finding when using Anthos?

SHOW NOTES:


Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background and what attracted you to the interaction of business processes and technology automation.

Topic 2 - For anyone that isn’t familiar with the concept of RPA (Robotic Process Automation), can you give us a brief overview of the business problem it attempts to solve and the basic technology behind it? 

Topic 3 - We often hear about systems with APIs and how they can be automated and interacted with. But many back-end systems could be older, so how does RPA interact with these types of systems?  

Topic 4 - Oftentimes these automated workflows can involve inputs and outputs from various systems (applications). Who tends to be the owner of an RPA system, or does it blur the lines between groups? 

Topic 5 - As I look at what Infor OS provides around Intelligent Process Automation, very graphical, it seems like it overlaps with this “Low Code / No Code” trend/buzzword. Is there any reality to that, or are they very different things?  

Topic 6 - When I look at case-studies for RPA, the ROIs are usually incredible. How do companies often get started, and are there any gotchas you’d suggest people avoid?

SHOW NOTES:


Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You both have an entrepreneurial background. Tell us a little bit about yourself and then what drove you to start Hasura? 

Topic 2 - GraphQL is a technology that’s been around for a little while, but it might be new to our audience. Can you give us the basics of what it does, and what sort of problems it solves for application teams?

Topic 3 - Many people are familiar with REST or RESTful APIs. Can you help us understand some of the reasons why we’re seeing a shift towards GraphQL for API interaction, or away from REST APIs?

Topic 4 - What are some of the business trends that are driving the need for more data-modeled API queries? 

Topic 5 - Hasura Cloud is focused on helping companies query data across any cloud or any source. What are some of the unique things that Hasura does to help customers manage these hybrid/multi-cloud environments?

Topic 6 - What are some of the easiest ways for companies to get started with GraphQL and positively impact their applications?

SHOW NOTES:


Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You’ve both been at Microsoft for a little while, but give us a little bit of your background and the things you focus on today. 

Topic 2 - Let’s start with some basics - in the world of Cloud, what is Identity?

Topic 3 - Things get more complicated as we incorporate more things associated with people or accounts (e.g. multiple devices, VPNs) or distributed applications or 3rd-parties (e.g. contractors, etc..) How does that shift the Identity conversation? 

Topic 4 - How does a business attempt to not only keep track of all of this, but enforce it in various ways? (connected, disconnected, people leave, applications change, etc.)

Topic 5 - What are some of the ways that Microsoft addresses all these complex Identity challenges? 

Topic 6 - Looking forward, what are some areas that are going to be the new frontier for Identity challenges, or some technologies that will make things easier?
