About a year ago, we had the lucky coincidence to have a discussion with Rodolphe Dutel on the subject of working remotely. Twelve months later, the world is a much different place and working from home has become the norm, especially in the more technical workplaces, we touch base with Rodolphe and get his insights and experiences. In this final episode on the topic, for this year at least, we finish off looking at how we feel, think, hope and fear the situation will stabilize once the troubles are behind us.

With the advent of architectures based on Microservices, the days of the monolith really do seem to be numbered. Recently, the good people at The Software House released a report on the State of Microservices 2020 and when reading it, we decided we wanted to dig into our personal experiences and offer our view on the data.

With the disaster that was 2020 coming to an end, we think we can say that the global Internet has been a savior to the economy and, to be frank, our sanity. We decided to do some future gazing today and see if we can predict how the Internet will evolve in the next decade...

Did a decade of OpenStack deliver the cloud environment everybody flocks too? Not really.... Fortunately, Matt Turck saves the episode, if not the year, with his 2020 Data and AI landscape poster! OpenStack, the little tech that couldn't? Ten years ago, the new cloud craze called OpenStack hit the scene and they did so with a lot of noise. A decade later, what is left of this once darling of the hypervisor orchestration layer component technology? And yes, that convoluted phrase was written especially as a pun on the incredibly complex gaggle of projects that formed the "Open Stack" and just may have been it's downfall... Pretty visuals are pretty! Matt Turck is at it again and we are very grateful for this yearly graphic representation of the Data and AI landscape. We try to give his hard work a little bit of attention every year and here is the 2020 edition. Thanks Matt!

We have decided long ago that we do not want to work on our birthday, so we were very happy indeed to welcome John Mertic back to the podcast. John talks extensively about all the things the Linux Foundation has been up to and Dave and Jhon simply lay back and enjoy the show. :) For more information about the different projects John talked about, please go to the following web sites With ODPi, building products and services and ensuring the right data is understood, shared and protected is simple.

It's been a while but News is back! We're taking a long, deep look at how we see the tech industry evolve through this pandemic lock-down environment. And we finish the episode off with Dave's contribution about some Industrial Design... Predicting the Future is not easy... Using this article as a reason to discuss a topic, rather than the article itself, we offer up our views on how the current lock down situation will likely evolve over time. While we definitely do not have a working crystal ball, we do feel we have a decent idea to do a little bit of future gazing.... Everybody thinks they have good taste, that really cannot be true.... Dave certainly missed his calling: interior decorating and industrial design appear to be his real strength! And obviously, Jhon really does not agree with Dave's assessment!

This news episode is pretty much dominated by IBM. The company has gone through so many divestments and reorganizations recently, the acquisition of Red Hat only one of the noteworthy events, that the sudden news about IBM tearing their IT infrastructure support organization away form the mothership was enough to have your co-hosts busy for most of this episode. We did find some time however to discuss the new Kubernetes GUI's: Doom and Minecraft!

A hard task it was, but we actually found some technology news to discuss! I really feels like the world has more or less come to a bit of a standstill, the world holding it's breath while we wait for the current troubles to go away. But we prevailed and have 30 minutes of discussion on if you should build or buy your tech, if Kubernetes really is already last years news in favor of Serverless Compute and we end with a quick look at a nice visualization of "Data Fallacies". Try or Buy? Buying your techn9ology "off the shelf" will likely give you a faster route to deployment. But if you deploy the same tech as your competition, how can you still offer differentiation to your discerning customers? Kubernetes is yesterday's tech already? After spending quite some time discussion containers and Kubernetes in the last few episodes, it would seem that it is already bypassed, at least in promise, by "serverless compute". We discuss our take on the hype vs reality of this "next
