Top 100 Cloud Computing Experts on The Cloudcast
This past week, both Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) were named to the "Top 100 Cloud Computing Experts on Twitter" list. A quick scan of the list reveals that 20% have been guests on The Cloudcast over the last two years, with many others that hopefully will be on very soon (lots of scheduling challenges to overcome). We consider ourselves very lucky to have created a platform that allows us to engage with many of the experts in our industry. As we soon move beyond Eps.100 and into our third year, we promise to focus not only on the thought-leaders, but also on many of the people doing amazing things behind the scenes (eg. operators and software developers) at the most innovative cloud computing companies.
NOTE: Many other guests of the show were mentioned in the comments section of the Top 100 list.

The Mobilecast - #12 - Data Ingestion
Brian spends time talking with Dave Stafford about the Data Ingestion problem that comes with mobile. While people are still fighting about BYOD and who should own/pay for devices, there’s a problem of how you get data off of devices, especially if people use their own apps to get their work done
Topic 1 – What is the Data ingestion problem and how it came from FUIT
Topic 2 – How people work, it’s not trying to be nefarious
Topic 3 – How do we manage content
Topic 4 – Identity and personas
Topic 5 – maybe there is a way to use auditing
Topic 6 – Christmas lights

The Cloudcast - #96 - Swift - More than OpenStack
Aaron talks with Joe Arnold (@joearnold) - Founder & CEO at SwiftStack about Swift as a project and as a product. Joe tells us how to get started with Swift and we deep dive into use cases and architecture. We also talk about Swift in non-OpenStack environments like Apache CloudStack (*gasp*)

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?
