 Okay, welcome back. This is siliconangle.com. It's theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events. I sit from the noise. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. I'm joined here for day two of the keynotes. Jeff Frick, my co-host, Dave Vellante, had to fly to New York for some work we had to take care of. He's not going to be here today, but Jeff and I will be handling the interviews. This is the Velocity conference. O'Reilly Media's amazing event around bringing together the confluence of a couple major megatrends, the cloud, cloud operations, application design, web performance, velocity is about speed. Speed is what users want, user expectations we covered. All day yesterday we had interviews talking about what makes the future infrastructure, the future of web apps really, really shine. And that's the speed, that's the velocity of web development, the velocity of the user experience. But not just by itself. It's tied together with the infrastructure. The word DevOps has been kicked around for a while, but now DevOps is integrating in under a complete holistic approach. That's what Velocity is here to do. Again, this is day one kickoff. Jeff, welcome back to theCUBE as a host again. Thank you, thank you. Thank you, good to see everybody. I'm just looking, one of the rock stars is signing books over there. The line is wrapped around the corner, it's great. I think it's actually one of our CUBE guests from yesterday from Google, so it's good to see. So we're here, it's a great day yesterday, John. One of the trends I think kind of interesting and a micro trend is this, using resources and more efficiently using resources, especially in the context of mobile. And how that kind of maps back to some of the global resource availability that we're seeing in the cloud. But I was reminded, a lot of conversation yesterday about using the GPU in a mobile device to provide additional horsepower. And a friend of ours a long time ago, Matt Papakipos, 2006 I pulled up a super computing paper with a company he was at, Peekstream writing OS to use the GPU. Which then he went to Google and wrote Chrome. He led the Chrome team and wrote Chrome. Because I was like, why would you ever use a GPU for an OS and a browser? But here it is, that was 2006, 13 or what, eight years later, we're seeing that come to fruition. I'm reminded of Amara's Law, which says, we often overestimate, especially the capital markets, the impact of technology in the short term and underestimate the impact over the long term. So sure enough, 2006, Matt Papakipos was writing about using GPU to write an OS and a browser. Now we're seeing what's happening with Chrome. We're seeing what's happening with these mobile applications and people are really putting that stuff to work to get the performance in the day in which we are today. And that's really the key here is performance. And this is a developer conference, as well as geeks. Normally the O'Reilly events are kind of broken down in a couple of different kind of sectors. Really the core alpha geek community. The ones who are really making the market are really part of that core O'Reilly community. They're the ones who really come together as a community to set the standards in an open way. And O'Reilly has always been an open conference, but here, obviously dominated by a lot of technical savvy people. But what's happening this year at Velocity is it's a really, really good show, because you're starting to see the crossover from geeks and influencers on the technology side to the business side. You're seeing big name companies here, like State Farmers here and a bunch of others, because what's happening is there's an explosion in the data center. Software defined data center is a big hyped up trend right now. And what's happening is that the web companies, the web scale companies, Google, the old Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, they are setting the standards around what is happening right now in the mainstream enterprise, IT, cloud, service provider markets. So the folks that are powering the machinery for user experiences, for low latency applications, really, really fast stuff, those guys are here. And that's what Velocity does. And this really is highlighted today by the biggest news in tech today, and that is Facebook announcing a set of new video for Instagram. And again, Jonathan Helflinger was on before the Cube, and I've met with him, he was at Facebook. You know, the thing about Facebook is they are the poster child of this web ops culture. Mainly because when they started, they built it from scratch with open source. They started in a dorm room at Harvard, storied history, we all know that it's the social network, obviously movie, but really the story about Facebook is about, they built their own. They had expertise, they didn't have a lot of money, they were startup, they built their own stuff. They didn't buy off the shelf commercial stuff. They created the web ops culture with Google and Yahoo and these web scale companies. That is now the leading bellwether for technology in business. And you've seen, that's a big trend here. So my prediction, Jeff, as you're going to see Velocity conference, really morph into a community based program and conference into a full on mainstream business IT, business operations, because business value now is tied directly to design of systems. The system software, systems on the design side, on the user interface, and that is the common theme that we heard yesterday. When you design an application, you design the performance of JavaScript or whatever code you're writing on the front end, you got to make those trade-offs with the back end and that has to be done in tandem with the geeks who do the cloud stuff. So it's not about cloud, this is a cloud show, this is a front end show, this is really the intersection and what makes this show so special, in my opinion, is really the intoxicating concepts around agile, meaning edge-based programming for web developers and then intersecting that with real-time policy-based dynamic infrastructure so that developers don't have to be network geeks to deploy this stuff. So again, this conference is again at the beginning of this massive modernization trend and developers lead the way. We've had guests on yesterday saying the same thing, it's about the developers in an open source framework, whether it's open source code or collaborating on standards and that to me is the big story. I think the collaboration piece, John, is really interesting because we have a number of startups that are here at this show that we're interviewing, but there's also a lot of big companies, like we guys had Google on yesterday, I'm looking over at the end to it, it has a huge booth, so these hyperscale consumer-facing web companies that have really pushed the envelope in terms of all these systems, infrastructure, hardware, software, performance, and again, hyperscale by its very name, are still here and they're still contributing and the guys that are actually writing the code that are actually developing the breakthrough continue to share their ideas. So it's a very different kind of way or mojo, if you will, than it used to be where everything was closed, it was our stuff, we didn't share anything, those are the crown jewels. And it's not all specifically open source, but it is an open source kind of vibe that people are sharing and the hyperscale guys that have kind of pioneered the space are willing to come on stage and talk about it to a great level of detail, what it is, where the bodies are buried, what you should have optimized, where the potential problems are, so that everyone, you know, it's the proverbial, the boat's ride to the right of time. We're going to be broadcasting live all day here for day two, yesterday we had 17 interviews are all up on YouTube, go to youtube.com slash siliconangle, go to siliconangle.com, we had a lot of blog posts, all the coverage from Velocity, Velocity event had 1200 tweets yesterday on the Velocity conference hashtag, go to Twitter and use the hashtag Velocity conference, Velocity C-O-N-F, hashtag Velocity C-O-N-F for Velocity conference, ask us questions, ask us what you want to see, provide some commentary, provide some interaction, we're here to serve the data, extract the city from the noise, that's our objective for today, we'll be right back to you with our guest interviews, we've got Google, we've got all the top alpha geeks, we've got the tech athletes as we say, and we're going to bring that signal to you here on siliconangle.com, this is O'Reilly Media's Velocity conference day two, we'll be right back with our guest after this short break.
