Your career has followed a parallel path to the evolution of the cloud. Let’s talk a little bit about your background, and especially your involvement with developers. Topic 2 - It’s been a while since we last had DigitalOcean on the show. Before we dive into the technology stack, let’s talk about how DigitalOcean thinks about developer needs. Topic 3 - Compute, Storage, Networking, Databases, Kubernetes, PaaS, Marketplace. Walk us through where DigitalOcean helps developers make it simple to use these primitives. Topic 4 - What do developers ask you for next? Is it more capabilities, or different pricing, or something else to make their lives easier? Topic 5 - What do your customer’s teams look like? Do they align to the primitives (e.g. cloud infrastructure teams), or is it more “you build it you run it”, or something else? Topic 6 - Where are some of the areas where DigitalOcean is focused or sees new opportunities in 2022 and beyond? FEEDBACK? Email: show at the cloudcast dot net Twitter: @thecloudcastnet FEEDBACK?
