IBM Developer Podcast

In this episode, we’re excited to bring you a conversation with Watson Health’s Lead Coding Architect, Dixon Whitmire. Dixon is here to give us the details on the open source project Linux For Health, the aim of which is to be the reference implementation for healthcare transactions.Dixon digs into healthcare transaction technology, how patients and healthcare workers interact with health data, and how an open source project like Linux for Health breaks down the silos of different standards and organizations. Along the way, he describes how changes to the software can have immediate real world benefits for anyone who needs access to health records, a requirement that has only grown in urgency in the shadow of a global pandemic.If you’re working in — or thinking of using — an open source environment and you have an interest in the way health records are accessed and shared, you won’t want to miss this discussion.Links related to this episodeLinux for HealthIBM Watson HealthTakeaways:00:01 - 00:27 Episode Intro01:15 - 01:52 Introduction to Dixon02:08 - 04:12 Dixon's role at IBM, and Linux For Health04:30 - 05:48 Why go all the way down to the OS?06:06 - 07:34 Problems in the industry: Data is siloed12:06 - 14:33 What ASC X12 and HL7 both are17:34 - 19:01 Security in Linux For Health19:33 - 20:50 EDI: What is it and why it's important26:35 - 29:32 For Developers: Where to start if you want to play around and work on projects34:33 - 36:17 Linux for Health in relation to Watson Health49:29 - 50:22 Final Thoughts by Dixon

Brian Behlendorf is the General Manager of the Open Source Security Foundation. Brian has dedicated his career to connecting and empowering the free software and open source community to both solve difficult technology problems and have a positive impact on society.

In this podcast, Steve Martinelli, Dr. Max, and Emily Mitchell talk about a new Open Source Cloud Guide created to show what open source technology underpins today’s major cloud offerings.They chat about :        ⁃        Why the guide was created        ⁃        Specific topic areas within the guide        ⁃        Ways you can contribute or enhance the guideAn O’Reilly survey that IBM commissioned in late 2020 pointed out that developers who want to build cloud applications should work on honing their open-source skills instead of only focusing on developing skills for a proprietary cloud.The survey highlighted that the most desired of the open-source skills are around Linux (containers), artificial intelligence and machine learning, and data storage.This got us thinking: How do those skills translate exactly to developing for hybrid cloud environments, inclusive of the major cloud providers? What open-source technologies are most used?The purpose of the Open Source Cloud Guide is to answer those questions.This Open Source Cloud Guide seeks to inform developers about what open source technology is important to contribute to. And, because it’s open sourced itself, you can contribute about the technology that’s included in other clouds. Use and contribute to the Open Source Cloud GuideKey Takeaways:[00:00 - 00:30] Intro to the episode[01:11 - 03:27] Intro to guests Emily, Dr. Max, and Steve[03:37 - 05:44] What is the Open Source Cloud Guide?[06:12 - 10:27] What to expect in terms of AI, APIs, big data containers, etc.[18:06 - 19:41] Emily's involvement in the projectResources:The Open Source Cloud Guide: open-cloud-guide.dev/Read & developer.ibm.com/blogs/contribute-to-a-new-open-source-cloud-guideIBM DeveloperIn the era of open hybrid cloud, open source skills matter more than proprietary software skillsO'Reilly survey highlights that open source cloud skills set devs apart for career prospects (40 kB)https://developer.ibm.com/blogs/oreilly-open-source-skill-survey-blog/

To view details on the conference sessions, go to - https://ibm.biz/devcon-ai **Guests in this episode:*** Justin McCoy (0:10) - Director, IBM Developer Client* Ruchir Puri (5:29) - Chief Scientist, IBM Research* Rama Akkiraju (13:20) - IBM Fellow, CTO - AI for IT Operations * Pooja Mistry (21:31) - Developer Advocate* Omid Meh (26:00) - Developer AdvocateListen to five experts in AI and data science as they prepare you for the exciting Data and AI Digital Developer Conference on November 10, 2020. For Session 1 we'll review real-life production AI solutions and architectures that have been deployed and cover what challenges your organization may face. Next, choose from five workshops and labs to gain hands-on experience with the code and platform for your AI solution. Session 3 is a condensed data science and AI course, the essentials. And finally, we'll review datasets in the open source world including four recently released datasets for predicting wildfires.

In our final episode we review what it will take to you make your cloud native applications, processes and staff, production-ready. We'll also discuss the impact of hybrid cloud and why organizations are reluctant to rely on a single cloud vendor and toolset.

Episode 7 focuses on the human aspect of app modernization. With the right tools and skills for your staff, they can take full advantage of cloud-native app development. And even developers coming for a more traditional coding background can bring their experience and insights to modern applications. It's all about moving and improving not only the technology, but your developers and people.

In Episode 6 we take a look at how modernizing your application will require new tooling and new ways of working. Taking advantage of today's open source tools like Kubernetes and Tekton will require collaboration and allow for agility across your dev teams. And even your security teams will be impacted as they work in this new, container focused environment.

Episode 5 takes a deeper look at re-factoring your apps in the new paradigm of cloud native apps. While re-factoring is often perceived as being basic maintenance work, the opportunities to be creative and re-think how your application is designed and flows is actually very exciting! It's not just about lifting and shifting an application, application modernization can make your development teams more nimble and agile.

In Episode 4 let's take a closer look at the need to secure your applications and data in the modern application environment. From Kubernetes to OpenShift, we will discuss concerns and tooling to help you mitigate vulnerabilities, identify attack surfaces and do threat modeling. While cloud-native apps afford for a lot more flexibility, the complexity calls for stronger compliance and security tools.

In episode 3, we look into the importance of containers and standards to improve the portability of your apps. However once your applications are containerized, a need for orchestration tools become readily apparent due to the complexity of this new, cloud-first architecture.

In episode 2, we take a look at the different architectures used to support applications and the rationale for moving from legacy apps to a modern architecture. We'll also discuss how your developer team will need to adapt and shift to this new programming paradigm. While modernizing your applications will bring more complexity to the architecture, it will also allow for more innovation, flexibility and standardization.

While application modernization is often seen as a technology initiative, it affords the opportunity for organizations to update their code delivery pipeline, standardize security and improve speed to market. Listen in to the experts on how app modernization can change your development world.
