 Hi, welcome to SuperUserTV here at the OpenStack Summit Boston. Great to chat with you, Mark. So, day two keynotes. It went really fast. There are a lot of demos. Can you kind of talk about the story around OpenStack and adjacent technologies? Yeah, I mean, I think that what we're seeing is that what people want to do is bring together OpenStack with a lot of other really innovative technologies, fast moving, to solve different problems, you know, bring certain functions into their business to solve business problems with these different tools. So, the theme is really composable open infrastructure and the idea is that if you look across the entire landscape of open infrastructure, it's all really open source now is the dominant way that people are solving hard problems. You know, if you look at something like Kubernetes and the container management layer or sort of application lifecycle management, it's incredible, you know, specialized tool for that particular job. And when you combine that with something like OpenStack, you can start to see automation all the way up to your application layer. And we talked about, you know, as an example use case you might have machine learning where you're trying to, you know, teach the machine to learn through these different algorithms and, you know, Google, Facebook. All these companies are doing this is sort of innovative work, but the fact they're doing it in open source really matters and I think it's gone a little bit under-reported so try to shine a spotlight on that. And then from a demo perspective to try to make it a little more real for people, you know, we rolled out a rack of Dell servers and, you know, thank you Dell for donating those. So we got that gear and really Julia Krieger was the first person to join me on stage and she's a specialist in the Ironic project which is for bare metal. So what we showed is you start with this raw infrastructure which in the old days would be a real bear to like get set up, to bootstrap, you'd have to install panes takingly, the OS images, configure them on every single node. This could be a major headache to just even get started to make those servers useful at all. And now what we did is we put nothing but Ironic and Neutron on one node and then that was able to in turn bootstrap the entire cluster and get that under control in a way that's highly automated. And then as part of that process we layered on Kubernetes. So this is to show you that traditionally people would think about OpenStack is sort of one platform with the standard set of services. People are starting to look at the individual components they're basically microservices if you think about it that way and combine them into unique patterns to solve the particular problems that they need to solve. So Ironic is for bare metal, Neutron helps you manage your network and then we started to look at sender as the way to bring in block storage. So that was just kind of to give people to get their mind working thinking about OpenStack as discrete services. In the case of sender there was a Loki image basically a lightweight container that with one command you can start up sender and get that service rolling. So that was a really interesting way I think to get people started with the idea of composable open infrastructure. And then we kind of progressed from there and talked about how at the end of the day infrastructure even if you automate it it's kind of boring and useless without applications, right? So we brought out Jacob who did this really cool demo real-time processing of the Twitter feed showed how the hashtags in the Boston area were changing dynamically as people were tweeting about infrastructure. OpenStack Summit was in there which was pretty cool. And that was using Kafka and Spark and Spinnaker for continuous deployment. So showing you that yes Kubernetes on OpenStack is powerful but what are you really going to use it for? Well you're going to use it for something like this where we had the Kafka real-time processing running on bare metal because that's performance. Sometimes you need that. We had virtual machines for part of the pipeline and then we had containers for part of it. So this idea that you can have bare metal virtual machines and containers is something that users really are looking for and tying it all together on a common network that's really kind of where the magic happens and we got to see that on stage. So I think if you missed those or if it went by too fast you can always go to openstack.org slash videos and we've got all the videos up online and you can start to look through some of those demos and that's just a little sampling of some of the stuff that we showed. Awesome and you kind of talked at the beginning about open source and how powerful it can be and your last guest speaker, so Edward Snowden we announced the day before kind of started talking about what he thought about open source and kind of the impact that it can have on a global scale. What was your something that touched you personally about what he thought about open source how it relates back to the open stack? Yeah I think that I've gotten incredible feedback just in the past couple of days from people that just really thought this kind of puts a different weight to the work that we're doing it helps us understand the potential impact and importance of open infrastructure that it's not just because it might be less expensive or give you more flexibility or avoid vendor lock-in but this is actually open source in general these are the types of tools that people are using in countries that have very repressive regimes just to communicate if they have not necessarily open stack but just open source tools in general so just kind of thinking about in the grand scheme of the world and he talked about how we're going to leave the planet to the next generation some of the freedoms we take for granted maybe we shouldn't take them for granted and that this type of work is really vital to that and so I found that inspiring and I think a lot of people did as well so I was just super fortunate to get to be the one throwing out the questions but he did the delivery and it was pretty powerful awesome well thank you again for joining us today on SuperUserTV and we'll see you in Sydney alright see you in Sydney
