EPISODE 8 - Scott and Mark Learn To...The History of Cloud

[@panibaruri3416]

Another fantastic episode! I really enjoyed how you illustrated your Kubernetes example, and Mark’s advice about diving one level deeper really stood out. It’s a great reminder that the internet isn’t always helpful unless you have a solid grasp of the basics. Thank you!

[@Tooxcade]

Fantastic episodes! I look forward to them every time. Thanks very much, Scott and Mark!

[@RobTiffany]

Great stuff, guys! Finally delivering IaaS rings true when it came to accelerating adoption of Azure. Reduce friction.

[@alexisconia4691]

Thank you for this fantastic series of videos! Very interesting

This episode was great! Now I know why our old BPOS url in 2011 had red in the subdomain.

This content is insanely good, I started work professionally as a software engineer in 2003, but was wiring up my dads office with 10Base-T coax and terminators when I was about 8 it's so jarring now as an "old guy" how easy everyone assumes this stuff is - loving the context of it all and keep it up 👍 #gooneleveldeeper

[@TorgeirFredriksen]

Fantastic! Don't know what to say actually, you're awesome, and I love these videos. Been a developer on MS platform for almost 30 years and content like this doesn't show up frequently

Absolutely agree that understanding the context within which you operate and what has come before makes you much more effective. As an example, if you want to work in IT you are going to encounter legacy technology and , whilst you may never be hands on with it, you really do need to understand what it does and have an appreciation of how it works.

This is awesome! I still have my copy of the great book ShowStopper!, which shows another piece of the history puzzle.

[@eetuhalonen6607]

Absolutely amazing show😃

[@GiovanniOrlandoi7]

Great episode! Thanks for sharing ☁️

[@johndoucette444]

Another great episode. I am systems engineer not a programmer. I also see where the younger generations are not learning some of the foundational things that used to be a given in the days of CNE and MCSE. I am not seeing anyone learning or wanting to learn more than the high level.

[@johngreenstreet9347]

Very interesting, thank you.

[@rjpajaron]

I love this!!!!!

[@olivl.7671]

I spent years developing in C and C++ without the STL, on embedded systems, doing IPC, multi threading, dealing with realtime on WinCE 6, with talented people. That one of my best professional experience.

[@Anbu_Sampath]

34:10 best advice.

[@AndersKeisHansen]

Thank you for another great video ;)

The hallmark of a great programmer is being able to apologize and to accept apology wholeheartedly

Actually I have a "cloud" story that predates even what you've mentioned here - and it involves Microsoft as well. In New Zealand in 1999, the company I worked for - EDS (New Zealand) - partnered with Telecom NZ and Microsoft to create what surely must be considered one of the earliest "cloud" offerings, which they called "esolutions". It began as what was then called an "Application Service Provider", they basically offered subscription access to Office 2000 online. From there it expanded to include additional B2B services. I'm sure the parties involved, both from the hosting side, and the consuming side, learnt a ton from it, and I don't know but I can only assume that MS took lessons from it into their later cloud efforts like Azure, but at the time, I think it was just too far ahead of the State of the Art that it struggled to gain traction with customers who were still entrenched in self-hosting, and it eventually was shut down (don't remember when - maybe around 2004-5?)

[@mrp898]

Ha oh god I worked for EDS back in the early 2000s and remember eSolutions well 😆I moved to Accenture a few years later. Fun days back in the 2000s with the physical to virtual transition then the virtual to cloud and more recently the changes with IaC, Terraform, Ansible, containerisation, etc, etc. I wonder what's next 😁

[@marklnz]

@mrp898 oh I'm quite sure MS will say the next thing will be AI. They'll definitely find a way to shoehorn AI into infrastructure somehow. They're very good at forcing square pegs into round holes...

[@PaulSheridan2023]

Dave Plumbers interview with Dave Cutler is definately one to look for kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpqUfaRtbtJ_m6csi=4MGfD7UziuM9KzMq

[@hafthors]

IIFC, a big early driver to the cloud was the growing physical security requirements from standards like PCI-DSS

[@sh856531]

The economics was essentially, Microsoft and Google wanted you to rent software and hardware from them forever whether you want to or not. Then once you are locked in, they jack the price

[@wi5nia]

Any links to the white paper on the Azure Scheduler mentioned?

[@HeyItsGilbertS]

Not paying attention to lower levels is how your cloud costs skyrocket.

[@AnaDelCampo-rd9cl]

What I want to know, really is what is on Mark's cabinet behind him that needs to be locked with a key?

[@bierbrauer11]

Imagine if BlueSky leveraged Azure hosting.. match made in branding

[@7alken]

yeah, these things are wonderful during peace; but sad thing is that so much well scaled webs/apps with properly precisely censored and targeted info means that mobiles are now also devices of war :-(; PLEASE, watch star-trek S04E04 nemesis, then wargames and then transcendence, maybe (about things that most ppl "dont need to know" ??); Anders and Mark are for me on the same level as God (atheist here), you Scott probably near that too; and with huge strenght comes also huge responsibility; take care guys; thanks; (will be nice when planet will be working together only against any kind terror, physical, psychical, any kind, any form, building peace and future)
