Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.

I am approaching this with anthropological precision.

Here are a few observations.

You don’t have to catch up, the future of Kubernetes is here. Watch this simple demo of @nigelpoulton deploying a Kubernetes application with native support to @GCPcloud, @awscloud or @Azure. https://t.co/MKjp89QJUK #Kubernetes

@JohnMartinIT @Chris_Mellor Yep - instead of cash under the mattress, it'll be a secure USB stick or a BIP39 seed phrase stored securely

I wrote another big piece, this time on the do’s and dont’s of working from home, after doing it the last 8 years straight. https://t.co/tyKUYkTlrj

“What’s a microservice?”
“Okay you know how a function can call other functions?”
“Yeah, of course”
“It’s just like that…but add 15 servers, 2 load balancers, and at least 7 network hops, plus you get to role play in a murder-mystery when anything goes sideways”

Busy day for @NetApp today!

Interesting times ahead!

NetApp Insight points: A400 data reduction HW assist will probably spread across AFF/E-Series range. StorageGRID AFA is seriously good. Elements HCI use of MAX Data could be significant. NetApp QLC adoption in 2020 equally significant. It’s a vibrant company. #NetAppINSIGHT

As an Infosec professional, I can only but approve of this phone unlocking pattern ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Ben Horner @BenHornerTech]

@TrevMcKendrick I had a very similar thought here: https://t.co/DewTB6wSxs

@MichaelCade1 As other's has stated, it doesn't *have* to be containers, but does need to deliver on a deployment architecture/methodology. See https://t.co/OBftccdnou

[Chris_Mellor @Chris_Mellor]

More good stuff on HCI definitions and use cases
