Hyperconverged has always tried to be part of the private cloud landscape, but i think the fuel for hybrid will be management models that provide the cloud service model everywhere

Hypercoverged helps drive next-generation infrastructure into existing data centers adjacent to existing data sets. To make a material impact, those systems need to live up as true cloud platforms - not just advanced virtualization.

Hybrid is an engineered private cloud to public imo; do you see the same?

debatable. "hyperconverged" certainly is a piece of the puzzle and makes scaling Private Cloud easier but there's more to Private Cloud than scalable infra.

i don't see hybrid as a transition. I see it as a permanent state that enables applications to run where they make sense.

Hybrid cloud exists when a single application spans multiple cloud infrastructures. Doesn't have to be public / private. Can be private hosted and private on-premises. But single application working across multiple platforms is key.

I just don't see hyperconverged as a economic/tech solution for anything but leaf nodes. Hate to be a naysayer here, too. What's the value?

@jrmcgee I agree totally it's permanent model; it's not general purpose though; which makes it confusing to customers

Hybrid is gated by data gravity. Transaction shipping across on premises and cloud is intuitively not worth it. YMMV.

@rjhintz You can have a cloud and cloud experience on premises. Agree 100% on lack of feasibility of data shipping to public.

@rjhintz I disagree somewhat, especially when your public and private cloud are in the same datacenter ;)

@blueboxjesse So, on prem, you're investing in all the infra in a dinky 2W datacenter + 2 or more replicas? Just don't see this as viable today.

@edsai Sorry, don't understand this topology

@rjhintz Oops, meant 2MW datacenter(s)

@rjhintz you imply that "private cloud" means on premises or hundreds of miles away. it doesn't have to be. it can be in the same facility as a public cloud or one that's next to it.

@rjhintz On-Prem doesn't always mean in your office telco closet / data center FWIW. The key here is the ability to deploy and operate cloud native applications adjacent to your existing data.

@edsai "same facility as public cloud" But not co-lo? Next to public cloud is still your own infra. Maybe not possible to get this clear here.

@blueboxjesse I'm drawing the distinction between public cloud and your own infra. All apps don't have to be cloud native, even if parked at AWS. You just run big scale up instances

great topic - (hyper)converged is the foundation of private cloud. Starting to see more improvements in the orchestration/automation to make it operationally more like public cloud.

Hyperconverged infrastructure "over Hyped"-it has limited use cases of apps/workloads; VDI, QA/Test etc.

opensourcing machine learning! #SystemML #IBM

.@Christo4Ferris explains the critical role of #opensource here: http://bit.ly/1OhJXb...

opensourcing everything! Open source seems to be having a renaissance (happily) - so many companies are opensourcing portions of their technology, it's refreshing and exciting

The broad impact of containers and its movement to open governance with #OCI & #CNCF and the collaboration emerging between #OpenStack and #CloudFoundry

Bluemix and Cloudfoundry :-)

increased openness in the software communities. focus on creativity and collaboration

@lindybrandon What do you think is the driving force behind the trend?

2015 was the year of the open source foundation based on the idea that open source with out open governance is irrelevant. That's changed the landscape in a pretty dramatic way.

oh and #swiftlang

@jrmcgee I was just about to mention that! :-)

I think the Jesse Proudman winning the #Cubemadness title - he's the Stephen Curry of Tech

@blueboxjesse what Jesse said

Replacement of version control from the age of dinosaurs with Git, then widespread use of Github.

It's a good question - I think we're in a highly collaborative stage which is one of the key tenets of open source but I also think companies see advantages for credibility and hiring

oh and it paves the way for improved #DevOps experience. Share workloads across team irrespective of company affinity!

I'd love to say I think it's purely altruistic but I don't really believe that's true across the board

@lindybrandon best thing is that it doesn't have to be purely altruistic and that usually good comes back to you when you invest in open.

Open is embraced. Just listened to a really interesting #tedtalk around open and how the concept originated in the 17th century when scientists realized they needed to share information to advance.

I know this sounds like buzzword slinging, but, I have to say containers dominated the open tech conversation in 2015.

consistent APIs http://swagger.io/ good collaboration and governance FTW

@edsai completely agree. I don't really care what the motivation is - it benefits the larger community in a big way and moves us all forward faster

@Bala_Rajaraman shares the latest with #CloudFoundry & open source: https://youtu.be/JKK...

2015: Open Stack, CNCF, OAI, Node, Swift, Cloud Foundry, ODPi are foundation elements of an open cloud architecture. 2016 will bring it all together as a consistent programming and operating model.

@angelluisdiaz Not sure that OpenStack isn't losing time to prove its ongoing relevance

@rjhintz in the same vain that Linux was "losing time"? this isn't a sprint. it's a marathon.

@edsai More like CloudStack. Too much fragmentation in the projects.

ignoring tech, organization, and process debt. Same as every year.

Security

greater stability :)

#success #disrupt #opensource #cloud

@rjhintz wow, Rich. You need more donuts today

Containers in production. You will see less experiments and more real world examples with general developers versus specialists.

blockchain

also growth!

. @IBMcloud For the IT industry, 2016 will be the year of "reality check" for #cloudnative

2016, much like past years, will be the year of the people who make all the awesome things possible.

@dancberg Stability? You mean service resilience? Generally stability isn't a term I hear used in this context. It can mean jitter reduction, fault tolerances, just a bunch of things.

#DevOps \o/

2016 will be the year of blurred lines between public and private clouds. It will be about consuming a cloud experience wherever your data resides.

true hybrid production workloads bridging public cloud while leveraging SOR data and applications.

developers, engineers, ops, devops, managers, etc. technologies are transient, people aren't.

Enterprises will turn into software companies.

@TrailsAndTech already happening;-)

performant APIs, agile codebases and close to market projects
