CHECK OUT OUR NEW PODCAST - "CLOUDCAST BASICS"

SHOW SPONSORS:


SHOW NOTES:


Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background.

Topic 2 - Every survey that comes out says customers are going to be using multiple clouds for quite a while. Interconnecting all these services, either simply or in complex ways is now a reality. Walk us through how this challenge is typically approached?

Topic 3 - Walk us through the different options, from VPNs to SD-WAN to Cloud Interconnects. What are the pros/cons and trade-offs for companies?

Topic 4 - Has the COVID pandemic and all the remote work changed how companies network with the clouds? Are these expected to be temporary changes, or likely to remain long-term

Topic 5 - How does Alkira fit into the cloud networking picture? Does their approach to simplifying things help when companies are adopting things like DevSecOps, where networking might not be the primary focus?

Topic 6 - What are some ways that companies on their multi-cloud journey can benefit from simplified ways to enable security and inter-connections to the cloud?

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background.

Topic 2 - Let’s begin by talking about the breadth of ways Megaport helps businesses connect to the cloud. 

Topic 3 - Can you walk us through some of the various ways that businesses use to connect to the cloud and why they choose to use Megaport? 

Topic 4 - Megaport recently launched a product named Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE), which helps businesses connect branches to clouds within their SD-WAN and SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solutions. You’ve announced some major partnerships with Cisco, Fortinet, and Versa. Tell us a little bit about MVE and these partnerships and how they’ll help customers.

Topic 5 - From a bigger picture perspective, how do companies think about modernizing their enterprise WAN - do they use MPLS, do they use SD-WAN, and what role does the cloud play in their network - what considerations do they need to make?

Topic 6 - Why do you think it’s so important for businesses to enable their SD-WAN or SASE solutions for multicloud? Tell us about a sample use case.

The Cloudcast #237 - Cloud Native SDN

Brian talks with Chris Marino (@chris_marino, Founder/CEO of Pani Networks) about the his new startup, the evolution of networking for Cloud Native applications, and the opportunities to change networking as application models radically change.

Show Notes:


Topic 1 - We’ve known each other for a while, but give our audience some details about your background and what you’re building with Pani.

Topic 2 - You highlight that there are 4 types (use-cases) of SDN in the market today: Enterprise, Carrier (NFV), SD-WAN and now Cloud Native. Let’s talk briefly about each one.

Topic 3 - Let’s talk about the basics of how the Romana Project works - addressing, tenants, IPAM, service discovery

Topic 4 - There’s an interesting trend happening where more intelligence and awareness is getting pushed up into higher-level systems like OpenStack, Kubernetes, etc. - how does this align to an application team vs. an operations team?

Topic 5 - How can people learn more about Pani and Romana, and start to play with the technology?
