It's been a long time
We've been busy. So, it's been tough to get out a substack post. Here's an unload!
Road Trip 2022 and VMware Explore
OK… Here we go. We’ve been swamped. The biggest thing is VMware Explore 2022. Melissa and I have been on the CTO Advisor Road Trip 2022. While a “smaller” trip, we still drove from IL to California. We’ll be pulling the Flying Cloud Airstream onto the Expo Floor of VMware Explore. We’ll also interview some of the biggest brands in hybrid-cloud. The list includes AWS, VMware, HPE, Cohesity, Oracle Cloud, Google, and the list goes on. Check out more information on the webpage.

Modernizing an Application with Google Cloud Automation
When modernizing 1000 apps to the public cloud, can you get to factory mode? The concept is similar to when you are migrating to a new data center. There’s a point where you go from moving a few applications a weekend to dozens or groups of one hundred. We spent a couple of months working with Google Cloud to assess and then move one of our applications to Google Cloud using Google’s automation suite. We tell the story in this 3-part video series. If you have to do a data center to cloud migration, I feel our playlist is a great place to start, regardless of the targeted cloud provider.
Abstracting the Network
A third but not final project is our proof of concept with Juniper Apstra. We spent time abstracting our network with Juniper Apstra. We then redeployed that abstracted network to a completely different network vendor. What did we learn?
