It was very interesting discussion for me, I'm researching about Edge computing and how improve the speed of VM migration in Edge environment for intensive real time application.

!!WARNING: DEEP SYSADMIN CUTS AHEAD!!

Back in the early 2000s, if you were a sysadmin that had to set up desktops or servers, you probably used Norton Ghost to create images.

When virtualization became big, that process moved to creating VM templates.

But there was still often a lot of manual intervention in these tasks - password setting, BIOS updates, vCenter installations and more. As the IT world moves more and more towards automating software tasks, what about automating infrastructure provisioning? Sure, there's cloud, but what if you're still on-prem?

This week, Rob Hirschfeld of RackN joins us to discuss how RackN helps automate the previously un-automate-able.

Episode 367 - Infrastructure Automation with RackN

We dive into Shoshana Zuboff’s book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Full of amazing insights, predictions and really insightful work, you can literally scan every page and read something fascinating. You don't need the book to follow today’s discussion. 

We start by watching Apple's new iPad ad before we dive into the book, and I highly recommend that you watch it as well, link in the show notes. It's a good tie into the surveillance capitalism discussion and I think you will enjoy our commentary about it.

Our guest today is Dr Mahadev Satyanarayanan, Carnegie Group Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.

Satya's multi-decade research career has focused on the challenges of performance, scalability, availability and trust in information systems that reach from the cloud to the mobile edge of the Internet.  In the course of this work, he has pioneered many advances in distributed systems, mobile computing, pervasive computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Most recently, his seminal 2009 publication “The Case for VM-based Cloudlets in Mobile Computing” and the ensuing research has  led to the emergence of Edge Computing (also known as "Fog Computing").  Satya is the Carnegie Group Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.  He received the PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon, after Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. He is a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE.
