Tell us a little bit about your background and your transition from engineer to product manager.Topic 2 - Let’s talk out container usage in the public cloud. Beyond the rapid pace of growth/usage, what trends are you following the most closely?Topic 3 - What are some of the unique things that you have to do to monitor container usage, or provide unique data insights to containerized applications?Topic 4 - We were surprised that only 50% of container usage is associated with Kubernetes. It’s been the de facto standard for the past several years. What else is orchestrating containers, or is it lots of one-off containers? Topic 5 - Large clusters are dominated by large nodes. That seems somewhat counter-intuitive. What do you think drives this pattern? Topic 6 - Lots of users are running older versions of Kubernetes. The CNCF has moved back to 3 releases a year. Do you expect that we’ll see longer life cycles supported in the future?Topic 7 - Since the report was released, are you beginning to see any new trends that people should be keeping an eye on? FEEDBACK?Email: show at thecloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnetFEEDBACK?Email: show @ the enterprise ai show dot comeBluesky: @EntAIShow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @TheEntAIShowInstagram: @TheEntAIShow
