Those are the top guys in the room. Awesome assembly of #openstack star power

Reality is that there is work to get from HP #OpenStack Community Edition to Enterprise Edition.

HP seeing that customer starting w/ a specific workload even if they've been working w/ #cloud for a while.

To be fair: Community Edition is still very new.

@tcrawford Correct, it is 5 months old and is refreshed regularly to stay near code tree

Great start for Enterprises to get their hands dirty and get an understanding of technology

The Enterprise Edition is intended to include upgrade ability for #OpenStack. #cloud

Upgrades *should* be easy. Yes, it takes a lot of work to make that happen, but that's why you pay for software instead of rolling your own. via @jpwarren

#cloud team making a big push of #devops yet the #TS team was moving away from it. #contradition?

The change to #cloud is a complete transformation. not a simple app or hardware change @e_monty

Ask "What is holding up production deployments by large enterprises?" What are the hurdles?

There are a LOT of dots between talking @ #devops and IT transformation.

I'm utterly sick of the "turn your enterprise into Google" argument. Most enterprises are emphatically not Google, nor should they be. says @jpwarren

@furrier Will do, discussion is focusing on how enterprises are trying to figure everything out.

@furrier AGREE! Let's STOP using web-scale as THE model for all enterprises.

@furrier I'm trying to interject a bit of reality into the conversation. #NotMotherhoodApplePie

@tcrawford All comments are welcome in this room. Even food related items as we are closing in on lunch

Imagine your bank account online statements had the consistency of a Facebook news stream.

@chrismevans most developers don't have the skills to do 100% asychronous apps and the infrastructure needs to be elastic and autoscaling etc

I never wrote anything in C. Mainframe assembler, definitely.

@chrismevans Old school C in the room including PL/1 but never COBOL

Actually, that's not true. I wrote stuff in C about 30 years ago. :-)

@chrismevans Complete with an "I don't want to see this vegetable" button?

I did COBOL too. I was never a hardcore programmer though (sorry, I should now say developer, we're no longer programmers).

@chrismevans I knew it when it was still 'c'.

@chrismevans If you're over 40 you write code in Java :-) under 30 it's node

@chrismevans COBOL programmers today are in huge demand, lots of $$ to be old school

@mrtugs How about a "like" button on my bank statement to like a money deposit?

In the past, applications didn’t know anything about the infrastructure. Today, that is different. #cloud

All the cool kids code in Python.

@furrier @chrismevans Java - that is too new for me

@mrtugs What is C? :)

@furrier Ha Java! I wouldn't lower myself to write in Java.

@vmugonline The successor to B.

@tcrawford On the money. Still in its infancy New age companies get it however traditional enterprises need to change

Covering the importance that governance plays in automation & orchestration.

Agility without control = chaos. Yes. PROCESS MATTERS.

Having to change everything to get value isn't appealing to enterprises. Incremental change over time preferred.

Oops sorry, for shouting.

@jpwarren This is definately a long term investment from HP

IT orgs will evolve to better support business units over time. #cloud #CIO

HP Helion is both a product and services.#cloud

You're going to need the HP Helion services group to teach you how to do this well.

Or some other consulting capability.

MyPOV: There are still silos across the services orgs that need to integrate more clearly.

It's good to hear that customers ARE seeing integration between the services orgs.

MyPOV: this #CoffeeTalk is very engaging and high-energy. #cloud

"Enterprise needs to get its head out of its ... uh, the mindset that..." ;-)

@tcrawford Thanks, the #HPHelion team leaders are here in force and questions are fantastic

To be fair, IE's problem was never the release schedule, IYSWIM.

I think someone just added a bit of kerosene to the fire. :)

There's a bunch of "Facebook is awesome" fanboi stuff here.

@tcrawford You got @e_monty going and he has a viewpoint that he feels strongly about

Seconds out, round 2!

If Facebook is down for 30 minutes, whatever. If core banking is down for 30 minutes, it's a much bigger deal.

My fear is that the polarized thinking could alienate many traditional IT orgs.

@jpwarren You'd think that, yet according to the Twittersphere, FB outage is a much more serious event.

@jpwarren True,but banks don't have national news cover it when they go down

Sadly that doesn't say much as to our expectations for banking uptime, does it?

Popular != Important.

I like the idealistic thinking...but we need to keep it in check with the reality today.

Facebook can lose a few posts. Banks can't lose transactions.

@jpwarren Realist. Tsk.

Good group of people here for this Coffee Talk. Enjoying the energetic discussion on both sides.

@mrtugs I don't have VCs paying me $$$ to reimplement 30 year old concepts. ;)

Bottom line: HP's Helion #cloud strategy relies on the success of #OpenStack.

Arguably, HP Helion also relies on the success of the #OpenStack #cloud ecosystem.

"That's going to be announced next week." Oops ;-) *laughs* Good reaction.

@mrtugs It's one of those well known secrets that was out of the bag a few weeks back. Still fun

Apparently Thou Shalt Call The Thing The HP Helion Development Platform, And Thou Shalt Not Call It Anything Else.

Docker and Kubernetes entering into the Helion #cloud conversation.

#OpenStack has 2,000 developers contributing to the effort. #cloud

Scale: Spin up/ down 10k-20k VMs a day. #openstack #cloud

Amazing: 5 root admins that support the effort. Only 5! #openstack #cloud #automation

Comparing development of OpenStack with Linux. Everything old is new again.

Glad to see agreement that Linux and #OpenStack should not be compared. #cloud
