The Cloudcast #126 - 2013 in Review & 2014 Predictions



Topic 1 - Looking back on 2013, what’s your biggest story or biggest take away? (AWS, OpenStack, NSA)

Topic 2 - Where do you think the industry made the most gains in cloud computing and where do you still see the biggest gaps (or opportunities)? (SDN, IaaS became plumbing)


Topic 3 - As you talk to people in the industry, around the world, how much do you see the spread of the Silicon Valley mindset and technology profile?

Topic 4 - Let’s talk about OpenStack. Was 2013 a good year, a bad year or just a year in the evolution? (Open Source VMware vCloud, who’s making money?)

Topic 5 - Traditional vendors vs. public cloud (which are sometimes the same). Who do you think is better positioned and what do you think each considers “success in 2014”?
Topic 6 - Moving on to 2014, what big things do you expect to happen (if any)? (SDN with VMware & Cisco, OpenStack conslidation)

Topic 7 - We’re getting ready to move into YEAR 4 of The Cloudcast. Can you believe it? What do we have planned for our listeners in the new year?

Welcome to the Family - The Mobilecast

We hinted at this a few weeks ago, but we're glad to finally announce that we're expanding The Cloudcast (.net) into a new technology domain - Mobile. Leading those efforts will be Brian Katz (@bmkatz), with a new podcast called The Mobilecast (@themobilecast). Brian does a great job with Episode 1, bringing in Benjamin Palador (@PaladorBenjamin), who just recently finished a yearlong experiment of going "Mobile Only" for his work life.

We're really excited to see where Brian is able to take this new podcast, especially given the way that mobile technologies are changing all of our lives (both personally and at work). For listeners of the show, Brian has been a guest a few times in the past (here, here and here). He writes a great blog about mobile topics over at A Screw's Loose, and hosts a weekly Twitter chat with the hashtag #mobilebiz.
