I learned that over the years. I now partner with people who view things difficult for me as easy for them.

Great conversation with an AI Platform startup running in Azure. Had them walk me through how they’d extend a developer platform such as Red Hat @Openshift to support AI applications development. Love all the innovation happening in this space.

What if a production company produced a Kelsey Hightower show? His X engagement is off the chain. It’s the closest thing I code think of as a dope enterprise IT web show.

I keep thinking about what would happen if someone created Marques Brownlee-level content for enterprise IT. What would that channel look like, and what topics would be the Apple of the channel? Also, what does success look like from a viewership perspective? Does this channel exist?

I'm feeding my X analytics into ChatGPT. The insights are interesting.

I ran into a startup during @GoogleCloud #GoogleCloudNext that talked about their smooth migration from @AWSCloud. Google provided white glove support. I wonder how much of this is going on as Cloud providers begin to compete for each other's customers.

I now know enough about AI Infrastructure to be dangerous. It only took a few months. Unfortunately, all of that information is now obsolete. 😅

On an NDA briefing with HPE.

Me: So, can you do this crazy thing?
HPE: Keith, let your imagination run wild. We are trying to support all of those things.
Me: Hold my rack screws and my CloudFormation templates.

For those of us in the Broadcom Software community. Stop thinking of it as the VMware community. VMware is a brand of Broadcom. Any employee resisting that change won't last long. #Moveforward

We spend a lot of time talking about Broadcom and VMware. What if Broadcom or similar buys another one of your critical infrastructure companies? What other areas of risk do you have? If any one of them increases prices by 15 to 100% what’s the impact to your budget and strategy?

Are the days of large-scale migrations to the public cloud over? Has chasing AI displaced cloud migration as the latest executive passion project?
