Distributed Systems – Cloud2030 Podcast

We discussed the intersection of serverless and digital twinning. These two concepts are really tightly intermingled!

We discarded the idea of a central single serverless hub managing everything; instead, we think sites would actually have a mesh of serverless, interconnected event processing and stream processing systems. This approach is much more function dependent, but really opens up a lot of interesting discussions and possibilities.

We also discussed how to manage all of this meshed, serverless subscription modeling eventing, and digital twinning.

Rob’s Hot Take:

Rob Hirschfeld, CEO and co-founder of RackN and host of the Cloud 2030 roundtable discussions, shares insights from the January 13th discussion on serverless and digital twinning. He emphasizes the significant overlap between modeling data through digital twinning and building serverless systems that subscribe to events for action, transformation, and control. Hirschfeld underscores the need for a joint discussion on these topics, highlighting that a sustainable serverless system requires a reliable model, and a useful digital twin system must connect inputs and outputs to the real world. Interested listeners are invited to explore the full episode at the2030.cloud for a comprehensive discussion on these critical industry aspects.

How do we evolve technology in the future? We centered the answer on networking, but in a very general way.

The ability for a vendor to distribute technology and then connect things together and then build networks of that technology is a core component of how networking is evolving. Ultimately, this is about building technology systems.

Sadly, that led us into a very dark place where we really thought through who’s going to own all of that infrastructure and their motivations. How can we make sure that the people’s needs and the systems and the vendors’ needs are well aligned?

Rob’s Hot Take:

Rob Hirschfeld, CEO and co-founder of RackN and host of the Cloud 2030 Podcast, reflects on the November 2nd DevOps Lunch and Learn session, which explored the motivations and impacts of building highly networked systems. While acknowledging the significant societal benefits of interconnected technology, Hirschfeld emphasizes the importance of understanding and mitigating the potential risks, particularly regarding data control and accessibility. He advocates for building inclusive systems that prioritize adaptability and service to the greater good, inviting listeners to explore the comprehensive discussion on these critical topics at the2030.cloud.
