In this episode, we have special guest William Vambenepe, IT Management blogger and “architect in the application and middleware management part of Oracle’s Enterprise Manager division” as he puts it.
I’m going to try a new tact here for timelessness and write-up the lengthy description later in favor of posting the actual audio quickly. I figure this will be fine as the lengthy text is mostly for archival purposes and those subscribed to the feed will get their episode sooner rather than later without blocking on text they may or may not read. With that said, here is a brief summary:
We talk with William about what Oracle is up to in IT Management, and then, launching off a recent post of his on Microsoft and SML, get off into the tasty weeds of SML, CML, and friends. As it turns out, William was on the spec for SML, so he’s a great source of info.
We then get into our usual cloud discussion, going over some companies John and I talked with this week, the need for SLAs for things like S3 going down, and other cloud management topics.
William introduces the fun topic of “the Hollywood model,” except applies to IT Management rather just software development in general. I note that this seems like an interesting way to theorize about what the cloud work-culture would look like.
Thanks again to William for guesting, he was great fun and hopefully we can get him back again ;>
