Aaron talks to Nick Stinemates (@nickstinemates, VP Biz Dev @Docker) about Nick's life before business development, building a vibrant community around Docker, and how partners can co-exist within this new ecosystem. Show Links: Thank you to Docker for having us as a media sponsor at Dockercon EU This show sponsored by Intel Cloud For All Docker Blog Topic 1 - You have a super interesting background. You’ve gone from the techie world to the dark side. Tell us about your journey to where you are today. What’s it like to be the “old guys around Docker” having been here over 2 years. Topic 2 - The big announcement today was on Docker Universal Control Plane. It would appear with Trusted Registry Docker has created a place to store containers and then with Universal Control Plane a place to run containers. Is this a correct assessment? How do you see the next 12 months playing out for Docker customers? How does Tutum fit into this? Topic 3 - What are the challenges you hear about most today as you work on technical alliances? Are you the one that got Ben on every stage at every keynote last year?

Aaron talks to Alexis Richardson (@monadic, Co-founder and CEO @Weaveworks) about new container based architecture stacks and models, the state of Docker today and how to decipher this ever changing ecosystem Show Links: Thank you to Docker for having us as a media sponsor at Dockercon EU This show sponsored by Intel Cloud For All Weaveworks Weaveworks Github The Post-Amazon Challenge and the New Stack Model How To Detect, Map and Monitor Docker Containers with Weave Scope from Weaveworks Topic 1 - Alexis, give us some background on yourself (RabbitMQ) as well as Weaveworks. Topic 2 - What is your view of the Docker ecosystem today? Topic 3 - Tell us about the state of networking in Docker today. This space is evolving quickly and has become a very hot market. What problems are you trying to solve that differentiates you from the others including SocketPlane (which has been absorbed into Docker). Isn’t the whole idea behind Weave is how to maintain your application and it’s networking without doing “unnatural acts” to get containers and networking to work together. How do the Weave products fit into this? Give us the decoder ring…  (more than Weave Net) Topic 4 - How do CoreOS or Kubernetes figure into all of this?

Aaron talks to Darren Shepherd (@ibuildthecloud, Co-founder and Chief Architect @Rancher Labs) about the move from IaaS and orchestration of virtual machines to containers. Topics include the transition from ephemeral to persistence, managing storage systems with Docker plugins and Rancher, managing vm’s inside containers the Google way, and lastly hypeconvergence comes to containers Show Links: Thank you to Docker for having us as a media sponsor at Dockercon EU This show sponsored by Intel Cloud For All The Cloudcast #195 - Farming Cloud Apps with Rancher Rancher Labs Rancher Persistent Data Services Rancher & Redapt Launch Hyperconverged

Aaron talks to Jon Berger (@jonberger0, Evangelist Project Calico, @projectcalico) about their pure Layer 3 approach to virtual networking and containers. We discuss the differences between Docker’s libnetwork overlay and Project Calico, the Docker 1.9 plugin architecture, policy managers, and design considerations for designing highly scalable and secure container based solutions Show Links: Thank you to Docker for having us as a media sponsor at Dockercon EU This show sponsored by Intel Cloud For All Project Calico

Aaron talks with Dan Isla (@danisla, Data Scientist & Systems Engineer, Office of the CTO, Nasa’s JPL) about what it’s like to build spacecraft and use big data and container technologies to gain insight into trends to help make NASA more agile by building next generation systems. Topics include prototyping of new technologies, the advantages of containers, encapsulation of legacy applications in containers, and his insights into the Day 1 General Session announcements at DockerCon.

Aaron talks with Kit Colbert (@kitcolbert, VP & CTO Cloud Native Apps, VMware) at DockerCon EU about growing up in the VMware ecosystem and transferring skills to a cloud native apps world. Topics include VMware Integrated Containers, how the Docker and VMware tools fit together, evolution vs. revolution of operations, and future plans for VMware and containers. Show Links: Thank you to Docker for having us as a media sponsor at Dockercon EU This show sponsored by Intel Cloud For All VMware Cloud Native Apps Blog Wikibon Article on VMware Topic 1 - I grew up in VMware virtualization and the associated ecosystem. As you speak to VMware customers about the transition to Cloud Native Apps, how have the discussions been going? It's a very different audience that VMware's usual buyer. Topic 2 - Give us the basics of how the VMware Integrated Containers (VIC) elements align with Docker elements (machine, swarm, etc.). Topic 3 - The Docker tools tend to be a natural fit for developers and VMware has always made great tools for Ops. Are people understanding where and how they should integrate vs. keeping functions separate? Topic 4 - What is VMware’s plan around schedulers like Kubernetes and Mesos?

Aaron talks to John Willis (@botchagalupe, Director of Ecosystem Development) and Dave Tucker (@dave_tucker, Product Guy) about the Docker decoder ring to the new ecosystem and how to get started with the Docker Toolbox. In addition, we talk about multi-host networking, and immutable infrastructure and delivery with containers Show Links: Thank you to Docker for having us as a media sponsor at Dockercon EU This show sponsored by Intel Cloud For All

Aaron talks with Ilan Rabinovitch (@irabinovitch, Technical Community & Evangelism @Datadog) at DockerCon EU about his impressions from the Day 1 General Session, 8 Surprising Facts About Real Rocker Adoption, and the practical aspects of actually monitoring Docker at scale and the challenges we face today. Show Links: Thank you to Docker for having us as a media sponsor at Dockercon EU This show sponsored by Intel Cloud For All 8 Surprising Facts About Real Docker Adoption Datadog Blog Series on Docker Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 Coming Soon Topic 1 - We just left the Day One keynote. Thoughts about the state of Docker and the Docker ecosystem in general? Topic 2 - There is a post from Datadog called 8 Surprising Facts About Real Docker Adoption. We’ll have a link in the show notes. It has gotten a lot of attention (was it mentioned in the keynote) and provides some great statistics around Docker. Which facts did you find most surprising as Datadog was developing the post? (For me: Larger Companies are the Early Adopters or the Stickiness of ⅔ that try it, adopt it) Topic 3 - Let’s move on to Docker. There is a series of posts Datadog put up about Docker that are worth a read. What are the challenges to monitoring Docker? (short container life, lots of tear up and tear down) You talk about a “Twilight Zone” of monitoring in traditional applicatications that cover the vm and the app but leave the container as a gap. Standard metrics don’t work anymore, What are the new metrics?

Brian talks with Jeremy Winter (Principle Group Program Manager @Microsoft) about the changing culture at Microsoft, the evolution of Hybrid Cloud management, OMS technology support and how Microsoft is listening to customers differently.* Microsoft OMS Announcement Microsoft OMS Homepage
 Jeremy on Channel 9 Topic 1 - Jeremy, you’ve been at Microsoft for a while and the company culture has been through a bunch of changes recently. Tell us about your background and what’s happening at Microsoft. Topic 2 - Many people know Microsoft Systems Center, so where does OMS fit into the broader Microsoft management framework? How does this tie into recent announcements from Microsoft + Red Hat? Topic 3 - Lots of new capabilities in OMS (Security, Automation, Logging, etc.), let's walk through what a customer's experience is like, especially across both private and public cloud environment Topic 4 - Many technologists are struggling with the pace of technology change, especially with some of the advanced stuff that's trying to replicate the web-scale clouds (AWS, Azure, etc.). How does OMS help reduce some of that learning curve, and what are some of the individual tools that someone could remove/reduce by using OMS instead? Topic 5 - In the OMS announcement, you talk about working closely with customers to build the experience. Tell us about how that process works and some of the feedback you got that wasn't expected?
