Cloud native computing

Yeah, I was in the Bay for a handful of years.

And then I got introduced to Craig McClucky, who was the founder of Kubernetes and the Cloud Native Compute Foundation.

He was at Google for a while creating these really cool open source infrastructure technologies.

And then I knew Tim Porter from Madrona and John Baronis from Lightspeed.

So it was a lot of sort of figuring out the data center and provider orchestration and servers, storage and compute.

Then within a few years, the migration of public Cloud has a little bit of heresy.

At first, people weren't comfortable with it, but then it became the new norm and then the big data wave came, then security wave came, and then Cloud Native.

I felt like AI was becoming that next transformational shift where There was a point in time where there was certainly this gold rush opportunity where a lot of how things are done is changing just very dynamically.

And the question I asked them was, how do I spread that around? How do I expand that into the enterprise? How do I scale that? And that is the essential problem that we're seeing.

And this is why these personas are joining organizations like this, because they're naturally coming to, similar to when Cloud Native first came around, and they said, oh, we're going to show the enterprise how to scale applications.

Oh, okay.

Thank you very much.

But so the next level is just like one thing that sort of like pulls them both into one platform layer, which again is what I wanted to say earlier.

And I, you know, I always end up in tangents, but what I wanted to say earlier is, you know, I'm really excited about this whole AI thing because I think like, while as a trend, it is overshadowing and overpowering a lot of outer stuff in the industry.

you know industry meaning like cloud native whatever right like enterprise like I actually think it's really powering platform engineering because you need this you need to figure out this platform thing to make everything else possible

fair fair guys we got maybe time for one more round of comments and we gotta close it out Keith what's your what's your summation here
