It's been several months since we've updated The Cloudcast's YouTube Channel. We apologize for the lack of updates. We're planning to create a new set of whiteboard videos later this week, but in the interim, we wanted to shared four new videos that were created last week at LinuxCon and CloudOpen.
Thomas Hatch (Creator of SaltStack) - SaltStack Architecture
John Dickinson (PTL for Project Swift; Swiftstack) - Swift Architecture

The Cloudcast - #96 - Swift - More than OpenStack

Topic 1 – Joe, who are you? You’ve been at CloudScaling & Engine Yard prior to your current gig at SwiftStack. Author of a book on Swift.
Topic 2 - (Everything is Open and a Stack in the name, run us through some basics of terminology) Project vs. Product has come up a lot recently. Tell me about Swift 1.9 as a project first (Global Clusters). Private Cloud Storage as a product and just an OpenStack project?
Topic 3 – Object vs. File or Block? Start at the lowest level, what kind of hardware? What kind of software protections? Discuss the ring vs. controller. Geo-disbursement. Scale out by de-coupling the controller from the actual storage nodes (SAN dual-head analogy). How does it compare to others (i.e. Gluster, Ceph, Basho, etc.) & what makes it unique?
Topic 4 – Storage Efficiency? Deduplication? Actual Storage Algorithms? Governance? Compliance?
Topic 5 - Use Cases? Performance? When is it a good fit? When is it a bad fit?
