CLOUDLAB WORKS
Cloud City, headwaters of the agentic cloud revolution!
Short-form posts: the quick thoughts on hybrid cloud, AI infrastructure, and the field that never grew into a full article. Reverse chronological. The longer pieces are on the blog.
Dates are exact for recent notes; older ones are approximate, rounded from LinkedIn's relative timestamps.
Lots of customers are asking how to exit and consolidate physical footprints. In many scenarios, hybrid continues to win leveraging NC2 to serve local traffic via strong connectivity & networking options into region/AZs.
Dwayne Lessner does a great job with the before and after.
Oooooh a 90 minute Super Session on Multi Cloud! AWS, Azure and it wouldn't be a party without Google Cloud!
See you in Chicago!
Just love the steady growth in Bellevue . Marry that with strong law enforcement and a thriving population . So excited - and kind of ironic that openAI will take over the space from Microsoft
Just picked up the Azure Cloud Native Architecture Mapbook by Stéphane Eyskens , what a read! Seriously departs many other Packt/OReilly books and looks at this field through a pragmatic lens and provides the demarcation many Solutions Architects are looking for. What do I do? What do my peers do?
The examples are vast and I really appreciated the sort of mindmap exercises on optionality with Azure Native and the tradeoffs associated. The one in particular that drew my attention was the L3-L7 options.
Awesome forward by Scott Hanselman!
I can’t describe how many hours I have spent debugging IAM and org policies. I welcome anything that can help with IAM analyzer

I love being a part of the greater Eastside communities, including Bellevue! Thanks for sharing Jared Nieuwenhuis!
Awesome!
For networks where BGP cannot be fully propagated, this tends to include some RTs with UDRs manually to make those connections.
With Azure Virtual Manager, automate those UDR deployments!

AVNM is a highly scalable and available network management solution that allows you to simplify network management across subscriptions globally. Azure Resource Topology (ART) allows you to visualize the resources in your network – collaborating with AVNM results in a topology view contextualized by your AVNM connectivity configurations.
With topology view, you can visualize the connectivity you’re establishing during and after creation of your AVNM connectivity configuration, providing confidence in the topology you want to deploy. Topology view displays the connectivity among your AVNM network groups and virtual networks (VNets), and lets you dive into the more granular connectivity established among your network groups’ member VNets from a global perspective.
Hope to see you at the Carlile Room!

The key to successful multicloud deployment? Interoperability.
As Forrester notes, many enterprises are choosing a multicloud strategy to run the "right workload on the right vendor," without too much dependency on a single provider.
The advice for CIOs is to plan and architect infrastructure for the long term and avoid chasing one shiny object, said Mathur.

Josh’s straight forward analysis continues to shine a light on the massive FUD and half truisms.
New “Book of Scenarios” added to the Nutanix Bible..!
An excellent addition to this invaluable resource, by Steven Poitras, Chief Digital Architect at Nutanix.
Part 3: Scenarios
Scenario: secure analytics platform
In this scenario we will design a secure analytics platform ingesting data from various external and internal sources and ETL'ing into a data lake where analytics are performed. This is a scenario I am personally familiar with as I worked on an internal project called Project Earth doing just this.
Given the scope of this being very large and proprietary, only the security aspects of the platform will be discussed in the first iteration.

Nutanix & Winpro, below are 6 areas of innovation for this joint partnership.
Cost reduction: Reduction of acquisition and operating costs of database, consolidation and effective utilization of resources (control sprawl, better lifecycle management), better utilization of database administrators’ time by allowing them to focus on innovations and optimizations.
Rapid provisioning: Delivery of services in minutes as compared to days; business lines, database administrators, or non-IT users can consume services through a self-service portal, reducing overall time.
Innovative pricing: The as-a-service model makes cost predictable and easily dispersed to business units, ensuring service quality and customer satisfaction.
Reusability: The solution integrates with other third-party cloud management platform and orchestration tools to help reuse existing investment.
Supportability: Support for multiple database technologies and versions.
Automation: Enabling greater efficiency and faster change delivery with better quality and predictability
