How can digital identity be used to build better trust and systems in our daily transactions? There are really significant challenges and consequences to having a national guaranteed identity - a single identity provider. Knowing who you're interacting with, in every form, in every situation is not as simple as you might think. There's a lot of analogues to physical identity that are worth considering. What would it mean for us to not have privacy? Does identity mean we don't have privacy in our interactions? Who can we trust and what authority do they have?

What incidental, or accidental, surveillance state is being created by all of the video and listening devices that are now embedded in our world? Today we talk through the ramifications of those networks being in private hands in which companies can actually review, analyze and monetize data from these systems. For example - autonomous vehicle cameras and delivery van cameras. This episode discusses the ramifications of this example and more.

What is innovation? Today we continue this discussion, specifically drilling into the three horizons model for creating growth and value. We spend a lot of time talking about how companies innovate using that model, what it means and what are examples of it? How does that spark take place? We bridge you further down the innovation learning process in this meeting.

We dive deep into the technical subject of governance and policy enforcement, including the tools, techniques and processes that you need to be aware of to do a good job with policy and governance enforcement. We cover how to get started, what to think about, what to be aware of, and chip away at your governance and policy challenges including developer development portals, infrastructure pipelines and DevSecOps.

We dive into the dynamics of open source projects and monetization today, specifically starting around the TerraForm and open tofu split. That topic is one that we love to chew over and potentially over analyze, but today’s discussion is different. We go into how ecosystems are built both in open and proprietary and cloud systems, and look at sort of a historical perspective on what makes a project successful from an ecosystem perspective. We also dive into why some projects work like that, and why some projects don't. Today’s episode gives a new take on some of the dynamics going on in the open source communities through the lens of what happened with Open Tofu and TerraForm.

We discuss innovation, a favorite topic of ours, today. Instead of diving in for a structured conversation, we dove at the bait that was offered by Marc Andreessen in his techno optimist manifesto. If you haven't read it, I would suggest taking a moment to read it before you listen to the rest of the podcast, but you do not have to! It is definitely an interesting opinion piece about the power of innovation, which is why it was a good input for our discussion. We have our own unique perspective and a robust discussion about how innovation should work that tees up further conversations about the three horizons model for innovation.

Today we discuss the implementation of governance and compliance in Kubernetes. The conversation explores the challenges of maintaining security and compliance while navigating the tensions between single choice compliance and open source ecosystems. The podcast also touches on the significance of compliance in small and medium enterprises, the resistance to tech adoption, transitioning from prototypes to production in Kubernetes, and the growing demand for governance tools in the industry. The speakers also delve into the issue of big corporations leveraging open source projects and the importance of multiple perspectives in governance discussions.

How do we limit and regulate LLMs and AI? We approach this at multiple angles and look through what it's like to regulate this type of technology. If you're interested in the limits of any technology, and specifically how AI gets regulated, and where we're likely to impose legislative barriers or restrictions on this, then this will be a fascinating podcast for you.

The podcast discusses the impact of data center infrastructure and hardware on AI, covering concerns, opportunities, and market blockers. They explore the importance of proximity to water sources for cooling, the lack of dystopian talk around AI advancements, and the role of generative AI in unifying office suite and backend pieces. The speakers also touch on data center issues, political will, and the significance of innovation in sales.

If you follow cloud2030 discussions or any of my podcasting over the last decade, Edge is a very interesting topic to me. Today’s episode is a short update on the state of the edge from a very specific position. In this discussion, I walk through with Josh why edge has been hard for us to nail down from a technology perspective. This is something of special interest to RackN as we keep honing and refining our IT edge infrastructure technology set.
