Now and then Greg and Ethan like to have a casual conversation about a few ideas that have been on their minds. This is one of those episodes.
The conversation starts with a discussion about why organizations move to the cloud, what they gain (and what they lose), and serverless architectures.
They also dip into how network management and monitoring is changing (and how it isn’t), and the relentless move to open networking.
Join us for this free-ranging discussion.
