 How are you guys doing? Are you excited? I Am I'm very high for you can't believe it all right, well Why are we here? Let's ask ourselves this question. Well, many of us are here because the Companies that were work the industries for work are being disrupted and very often not just by technologies But by the organizations and companies that probably did not exist just a few years ago so It's not a question of if it's a question of when a major wave of disruption being driven by artificial intelligence by robotics a blockchain you name it gonna hit an organization department a line of business so You may say many of you say oh, we're gonna become a software company, right? We're not making gadgets anymore so well great, however, it does not mean that Being a software company you're immune from disruption right many software companies try to Change their business model on the fly while flying six hundred miles an hour. It's not easy You may say oh, we're gonna build ups quickly. We've got cloth laundry. Well, it does not mean that ability of building ups quickly Gonna give the organization something that you can count on for years to come as a new revenue source Some other of you may say hey We know the customers very well We know all the lean startup all of that right we we're gonna develop them needs. We're gonna build killer apps. Well That's great. However, it does not mean that you can continuously every year every up after up after up Nailing it and making sure that is it's actually killer up So is there anything that we can learn from the cloth laundry platform pioneers that went before us and There are quite a lot of different platforms out there Made with cloth laundry I be in bloomings is one such a great platform. It's it's a it's a great for many industries, right? It's not just Applies for one specific thing right it's very wide But then we have platforms like Nexen being built at BNY melon, right? It's built for financial services specifically by a bank so Lot of different variations. We also have interesting platforms like Jeep predicts ties End-to-end all the way from hardware and sensors for the first time ever You can build an app in a few hours that ties a sensor from a real hardware in a secure manner and have an up in your palm Right a mobile app or up on the on the Vap But let me ask you a question if you are an app developer Would you like G to start selling your app that you may have built over the few days or weeks? Very quickly and very cheaply and inexpensively and you just get there maybe you would and That leads to a conclusion I would like to make here is that the disruptive force is not just the Applications or technologies that are the trends the artificial intelligence or blockchain or sharing how many what have you it's also Multiplied by the thousands and sometimes millions of developers that very often you just simply cannot afford to employ directly To keep building to innovate for you and keep building those killer apps that your customers want and need right so How will the app stores and those up platforms that we're building here together Will look in a few years from now. Well, we can just learn from platforms like app stores from Apple from Google the play market and the one that's very B2b no B2c related up store from the sales force from up exchange So we can make those conclusions and How how do we know it all torus about all of this? Why? Why am I so confident about this the reason why is because we've been helping some of the Greatest companies out there to digitize their revenue streams and figure out how they actually compete moving forward We've been doing a lot of work on top of the cloud funny platforms Both the the open source and those that are many of you are using great platforms with amazing capabilities we're putting them to work and Within the customers that we are working with we've been very lucky to work with some of the market leaders in Select industries, and I would like to show you some of the examples of the apps that the platforms that we're helping them build Which one will be this platform in an up store for DNA analysis in the cloud DNA is a big file And if you can put the apps like bees on top of the file, it's great, right? Another example is platform in up store for managed private cloud We're working together with Verizon to build an end-to-end offering for managed service Where you can choose data centers. You can choose compliance. You can choose network You can choose interconnect to Azure to AWS and then you can have it all available to use a service with disaster recovery and CLA and SLA guarantees. So But I'm here to ask you for a favor Everything might be great in where you work, but I would like to ask you for something Cloud Foundry is also a technology and like just like everything else. No exception. It's subject to disruption So under great leadership of Sam Ramji, we we've been very lucky to have him as a leader of the Cloud Foundry community We have a mission to make love fundry the platform of choice for application development Worldwide and I would like to ask you to help us at Alturas to do a few things that we can to help push this whole Thing forward and have a greater chance of fulfilling the mission One we can incentivize industry Specific contributions of our members we can call for smaller companies bigger companies to bring Contributions that related to specific industries next we can widen the workload support. It's so great to see New type of workloads becoming first-class citizens on call foundry like TCP Support that GE has worked on like UDP. You will see you will hear in a few minutes about that We need more of that Third we can standardize some of the workloads in some of the industries to become standard and Across the whole industries like like utility metering when you when you when you when you get a bill right for your electric These these formats of data that flies in how much who consumed it's not been standardized only a few states have been Standardizing we can help standardize that and Finally, please help us to work hard to make sure that Cloud Fundry becomes the standard de facto standard for smart cities in Industry 4.0 for all the national and global initiatives out there They could put Cloud Fundry on a completely different level when it comes to adoption by those who may not even care what's inside and Why we do all of that because together as a community we're very strong and A rising tide can lift all boats at the end We all benefit as long as we all work together to fulfill the mission and last but not least I would like to I'm very happy to make an announcement That today Altaurus launches the on-demand Cloud Fundry training Which any of you can go in and apply for better access the link is out there CF dash training that Altaurus That come especially those of you who today could not get in into the training because we've seen so many people That couldn't because that was completely sold out so with that I would like to thank you and wish you a great show
