@zehicle@cote@F5@rackngo While not entirely the same target, we are actively working with several partners on driving basic abstraction into one area of emerging infrastructure - DPUs - with the Open Programmable Infrastructure initiative. https://t.co/Fxtz17uuEQ
@zehicle@cote@F5 As someone charged with supporting the various underlying idiosyncrasies of SmartNIC acceleration complexes which sometimes vary between _production runs_ even in the same model, I absolutely agree. This can only be solved by better management.
@cote@zehicle@F5 For example, if I plan well I can credibly move much of an application’s compute directly into a browser client using service workers and WASM - compute that from the app owner perspective is “free to me”. What does that change about the economy of systems architecture? A lot.
@cote@zehicle@F5 Hi @cote and @zehicle - party guilty of that section here. Economics does rule all, and the ability to run in more locations more cheaply hasn’t been matched with tools to support it in most cases. Open standards must close the gap because vendors certainly are not.
@cote@F5@cote my use of buzzwords comes with the mea culpa that I was trying to match somebody else’s use of the terminology :) suffice it to say I do believe that the new economics of systems infrastructure that are coming means we are due a reset.
@khaleesikizzy@heimidal This is conduit under Magnolia Bridge, as I’ve discovered. They have half the bridge blocked right now and I saw splicing going on in one of the trucks towards the bottom
@CenturyLinkSEA Can you be more specific about exactly what was vandalized? It seems strange that something accessible to vandals would be able to take down a whole 3,000 household neighborhood.
@khaleesikizzy@heimidal@CenturyLinkHelp I saw an update of 8pm and this new reason was posted on Twitter:
“Due to vandalism, we are experiencing a voice and internet service disruption affecting some customers in the Magnolia area of Seattle, WA. Our team is on site assessing the damage now.”
@heimidal@khaleesikizzy@CenturyLinkHelp Although I did see CenturyLink trucks working along 28th Ave West earlier today, so… maybe it’s an error with whatever that work was.
