Omdia on Location at KubeCon in Atlanta youtu.be/G7k16vkfF_I?... @cncf.bsky.social great to chat cloud native transformation with my great colleagues Jim Frey and Melinda Marks. #cloudnative
All code commits to any of the 241 @cncf.bsky.social CNCF projects since the very beginning in 2014.
394K commits for Kubernetes so far, 165k for Cilium, 102k for OpenTelemetry and an impressive 82k for Backstage.
First talk of KubeCon ✅
Liz Rice, Joe Stringer, and I lead a discussion on what projects should think about when trying to write an effective AI policy. Slides are lights on details, but be sure to catch the full recording with all the conversations when it comes out
Almost in Atlanta! #kubecon
Last English breakfast with all 4 food groups (sausage, bacon, egg and bread) at Heathrow. Looking forward to a fun week at #KubeCon in Atlanta. #Omdia
My quick take on the $180 Million funding round for @n8n.io : www.techtarget.com/searchapparc... @omdiahq.bsky.social #AI #LLM #Funding #LowCode
Why AI co-pilots will never become actual 'pilots' as long as they are based on LLMs. That's not a bad thing, as the production gain can be large. But just like an actor playing a doctor on TV is not really a doctor, a copilot using an llm is not a programmer.

Cool chart showing the hairball of interconnections between AI and cloud companies. #TooBigToFail
Machine Data trained LLMs and automatically generated dashboards for issue prevention. Very interesting Splunk .conf25 -> BLOG POST: www.techtarget.com/searchdatama... #Highlights #Splunk #Cisco #AICanvas #Observability
Red Hat analyst summit in London: 1) virtualization and 2) AI -> not necessarily in that order.
Theme: Disruption Needs Choice
Key products: RHEL10, vLLM, llm-d, Lightspeed and of course OpenShift.
Combination of open source and enterprise-grade support. @omdiahq.bsky.social #ESG #RedHat

Wow, flying out of LAX now makes you use your face as a boarding pass. Even in a free country that much Tracking would be spooky.
You can say what you want about Broadcom's app modernization and cloud strategy, but look at this stock growth. #VMwareExplore
"We can vmotion LLM workloads just like anyhting else" -> need to look at the implications of that statement. #VMwareExplore
"I'm the most excited about #Kubernetes being a native part of VCF 9" -> from the VMware Explore keynote.
"90% of enterprises have committed to VCF" -> "you are not alone. Everybody is moving this way" #VMwareExplore @vmware.bsky.social @broadcom.bsky.social @omdia.bsky.social
"It is insane, I've been doing it since 25 years and I'm still loving it" -> intro #VMware Explore keynote. -> analysis of the latet announcements to follow -> #ESG @broadcom.bsky.social @vmware.bsky.social
Love the term 'confident nonsense' to describe how LLMs are able to plausibly and fluently provide great-sounding explanations for entirely made-up 'facts'. -> here's my blog on Minimum Viable Observability, as the remedy for 'confident nonsense': www.linkedin.com/pulse/minimu...
Minimum Viable Observability is key for LLMs and LLM-driven apps -> Latest BLOG -> www.linkedin.com/pulse/minimu...

HPE Discover was all about AI Factory, operational excellence, and Hybrid Cloud. Here's my quick BLOG summary: www.techtarget.com/searchdatace...

Can't believe the best AI app builder closed down. Farewell Lazy AI.
Interestingly, my favorite data notebook (the name escapes me now) also was shut down a while ago.
Shows that quality is not (always) the key success factor for startups. #AppDev #Copilot #AI #ESG
In case someone is interested in how to crash MacOS no matter how much RAM you have: Accidentally load a 50+GB size video into another video (instead of loading the intended 5MB photo). It's impressive how the power button becomes the only way out :-).

Yes, AI and VM are the big topics of the day. A quarter century after the virtual machine was 'discovered'.
This is one interesting discussion on VMware licensing (on Reddit): www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/c... #virtualization
Quick chat with @jfrey80.bsky.social about #HPEDiscover 2025 in Vegas. #AIFactory was the top level theme for the entire conference, but there were many interesting 'sub topics', including the renaissance of #virtualization and the hunt for operational excellence. #ESG. youtu.be/wOvORB7-MKQ...
The sphere is nice and all, but the Palazzo needs to clean its windows :)
Morpheus, OpsRamp and Zerto are three components of the HPE Cloud Ops Software Suite. #HPEDiscover #HybridCloud
