AI Export Controls Work?

We discuss whether or not AI export controls work, but we take a really interesting twist because what we talk about is manufacturing. What we talk about is innovation, and it's not whether or not you can control AI chips, but what does it actually take to build innovative product? That's where we really have challenges on export and controls. There's military manufacturing and goods, and that's part of what this AI embargo is about. We really talk about how challenging it is to actually build truly innovative manufacturing and what the barriers are. Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/k6Thp-TOfwKc_RjXHCnTd7tdepc?utm_source=copy_url

Using AI for Complex IT Problems

In this episode, we talk about how to use AI and agentic AI specifically to rethink log collection and analysis, and find and solve really difficult problems generally. There's a bit of a build up and understanding how we got there will help you appreciate the conversation.

AI Slop Ate My College Degree!

Today we riff on vibe coding, and we talk about the human and economic impacts. Can this agentic coding paradigm the use of AI and how will it impact people just starting their careers or building real applications? What is the trajectory for AI, generated systems and code and what is the risk of AI slop? Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/5G4AnR858BJnYVZiPV7w5tgAh0Y?utm_source=copy_url

Do Export Controls work for AI?

NOTE: It appears that the Trump administration decided to allow nVidia chips... even so, this is a very interesting discussion. We discuss whether or not AI export controls work, but we take a really interesting twist because what we talk about is manufacturing. What we talk about is innovation, and it's not whether or not you can control AI chips, but what does it actually take to build innovative product? That's where we really have challenges on export and controls. There's military manufacturing and goods, and that's part of what this AI embargo is about. We really talk about how challenging it is to actually build truly innovative manufacturing and what the barriers are. Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/k6Thp-TOfwKc_RjXHCnTd7tdepc?utm_source=copy_url

Lab Toys vs Enterprise Products

DevOps Lunch and Learn focuses on home labbing versus enterprise use cases and why it is so tricky to satisfy the home user with enterprise products. This really is a dilemma because we love to see more crossover and we're going to talk about why. Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/CgO1zVnY5wDFgRNb7XpdUNyIgr0?utm_source=copy_url

Container Driven Architecture

In this episode, we continue our dive into the changing architecture of IT infrastructure and look at how containers and container platforms are changing. We also look at the fundamental nature of what people want to buy, accelerated by VMware Broadcom, making virtualization platforms much less attractive, and the shifting landscape here. This is work that is based on a presentation that I've been giving around the shift towards open shift virtualization and Kubernetes in general.

Container Driven Architecture

In this episode, we dive deeper into the new architectural trends for infrastructure designers in this coming decade, which is a transition from virtualization platforms first like VMware into containerized platforms first. But this time, we talk through the use of virtualization in containerized systems - keeping VMs but with what changes are necessary to make a containerized virtualization platform dominant instead of a virtualized virtualization platform.

HA Troubleshooting [Tech Ops]

This episode of the TechOps series goes into high availability troubleshooting. Not just high availability, not just troubleshooting, but actually talking through what it takes to manage and maintain and fix HA systems. This is part of a longer discussion we've been having and so there's some really interesting ideas in the middle of these discussions that I hope will shape your thinking as you build high availability systems, diagnostics and troubleshooting for people who are in high availability very complex environments.

Is 2025 even harder than we expected?

We review 2025 predictions today and dig into why I think this year is going to be both boring and terrifying for a lot of enterprise IT leaders. That, of course, spans Amazon, Reinvent storage, VMware, AI, and Agentic AI - we run the gamut on what is coming and why this is actually going to be a very challenging year.

The Many Bits of Quantum State

In this episode, we dive into all things quantum computing, starting from the idea that Microsoft managed to put a new quantum silicon chip together. We go all over quantum from compute to entanglement and everything in between.
