Coté probably messed up his math on the Thoma Bravo profit from Compuware. Maybe it's more like $5bn. But, obviously, he's just farting around with incomplete information. He apologies and will sit in the corner for awhile. For entertainment only! With the virus shutting down conferences and keeping people in the home office, we discuss the value of in-person conferences and how remote ones might could be better. Also, GKE’s kubernetes cluster pricing (and Amazon’s drop to match the price) gives us an anchoring point for pricing running a cluster. Coupled with the recent CNCF survey you could make an interesting stew. Finally, Coté tries to run some numbers to figure out how much Thoma Bravo profited from taking Compuware private. (Also, he always mispronounces it as Thom-oh Bravo.) Hey!

Selling about $650m of Dynatrace stock. Got several $100m’s in dividends from DT. Still owns 52% of DT ($9.294bn valuation, so $4.83bn asset in equity). Original purchase price: $2.5bn 2 + 0.65 + 0.150 + 9.294 = $12.09bn cash out, plus $4.83bn equity - $16.92bn profit on $2.5bn…?! Undated Forrester chart showing increasing mainframe spend.

CLASSY. Demographics: “September and October 2019 and received 1,337 responses.” 30% of respondents from orgs with 5,000+ employees. ??? “The top job functions were software architect (41%), DevOps manager (39%), and back-end developer (24%)” Most respondents from “Software,” “Technology,” and “Financial Services” - all the bleeding edge. Amazon is #1, Google probably #2. CI/CD (loosely applied) is at 40% to 50% - which is close Coté’s ongoing estimates (and, considering that most of the respondents are from tech and banks, if we’re cynical, probably less for the other industries). The jump in production is really quick, maybe (Page 5, “Use of Containers since 2016”? It took about 4 years for prod use to be broadly done (in Dec 17, prod reached 75% which matches test) Most figures like these (e.g., number of containers in production) would be a lot more interesting/useful if they were broken out by company size. E.g., larger companies probably use more containers in production, tech and banks probably have put containers in production earlier, also telcos - T-Mobile alone has 34,000 containers in production (probably even more by now). Similarly, how many clusters are in production would be interesting to see by organization size. Challenges are sort of interesting, as always. I don’t like “culture” as a broad category. That usually just means “people don’t do what I think they should do [and instead have their own ideas of what’s best].” However: obviously “security”…”complexity” is another broad category - and, boy, long-time SDT sponsors must love “monitoring” as a money-pot to go after! Side-note: so, “servishmesh” means a registry to look-up how to connect to other pods/components in your kubes (like, JNDI); getting the actual network connection to that other component; securing the network connection; load balancing (this term is getting way over-blown, I think?); and then

"I don't care about networking...and load balancing." There's a lot of new concepts and stuff to learn when it comes to developing applications that will run on kubernetes. In this episode, Coté talks with Charles Lowell about his experience. Also, we imagine measuring the humidity of mayonnaise. If you need some excellent app coding, check out Charle's company, Frontside! They also have a podcast where they discuss recent programming frameworks and idea, and relating coding cool stuff. You may recall that Charles was the co-host of Coté's first podcast empire, DrunkAndRetired.com.Special Guest: Charles Lowell.

With a new CEO and president at IBM, we talk about what’s been going on good and bad at IBM in recent years. Big bets were made and that whole cloud things overshadowed things. We also talk about the mysteries of private equity, here what Thoma Bravo has done to make billions of dollars of Dynatrace and Compuware. Finally, we briefly talk about the whole microservices and serverless are silly trend - monoliths rule! (Oh, and some small Java talk.) (Sorry there’s so much high-volume on Coté's end. Hopefully your ear-holes won’t hurt too much. Coté needs to get a new pop-filter.) Mood board: Interpol can’t find me in Australia, right? Digital transformation is bad. Did they decide that the kids are all right? Thought leader me into happiness. You are so much more cynical than me. What does IBM do? Reverse halo effect. Surviving the trough of disillusionment. We’ll stick up for digital transformation - No! For the rest of your life, do better. Minor bread talk. Relevant to your interests IBM IBM CEO Ginni Rometty is stepping down, Arvind Krishna to take over 1 big thing: Ginni Rometty out at IBM IBM’s Lost Decade IBM didn’t spent much CAPEX, three others did. Coté: what’s there to say that’s new? Cloud wasn’t executed well (I guess?) and Watson was a poor choice for such a high priority. Thoma Bravo to Explore $2 Billion Sale of Compuware So, did Thoma Bravo do well here? “could value the mainframe software provider at around $2 billion, including debt, according to people familiar with the matter.” “Thoma Bravo took Compuware private in 2014 in a deal valued at $2.5 billion. It carved out Compuware’s application performance management division, renamed it Dynatrace Inc. and took it public last year.” Dynatrace market cap is ~$9.1bn, was ~$6.7bn on IPO day (August 2019). Brenon@451 on the IPO, August 2019: “Post-offering, the PE firm still owns about 70% of Dynatrace.” And: “Dynatrace raised roughly $570m in its offering, some of which will go toward paying down its nearly $1bn in debt.” 451’s note on the 2014 going private. So, if Thoma Bravo still owns 70%, then have ~$6.37bn worth of equity (70% of market cap of $9.1bn)…sounds… really good for laying for laying down $2.5bn, plus you might get $2bn more from the rest of Compuware. That’s crazy, right? That Compuware was sitting on that much extra value? This week in cloud architecture patterns tl;dr: ¯_(ツ)_/¯ The State of Serverless This is just about AWS Lambda. (That said, what else is there?) “Among the companies with the largest infrastructure footprints, more than three quarters have adopted Lambda.” Lots of node.js and python use, not much Java and .Net use. Java and python were added in the same year (2015), node.js since the start in 2014. Coté’s summary of their analysis: Lambda used with lots of data processing, primarily with python and node, at mostly large orgs. Not used by Java devs. Modular Monolithic Architecture, Microservices and Architectural Drivers “Monoliths are the future,” Kelsey Hightower. “Now that our industry is finally recovering from the mass delusion that microservices was going to be the future, it's surely time to for the even bigger delusion that serverless is what's going to provide the all-purpose salvation.” @dhh Also: his 2016 suggestion that monoliths work best for small teams, microservices for huge orgs.

Under Augustus, a compromise was reached with the construction of a parallel canal. The part of the marsh above sea level was successfully drained by channels, and new agricultural land of legendary fertility came into being. Whenever the channels were not maintained, the swamp reappeared. Meanwhile, frequent epidemics of malaria at Rome and elsewhere kept the reclamation issue alive. Under Benito Mussolini's regime in the 1930s, the problem was nearly solved by placing dikes and pumping out that portion of the marsh below sea level. It continues to need constant maintenance. Italian confidence in the project was so high, the city placed by Mussolini in 1932 in the center of the marsh, Latina, became the capital of a new province, Latina.” There were German colonies - mostly in Africa.

Relevant to your interests Pivotal kubernetes stuff, alpha of running all the stuff on Kubernetes (PKS), Pivotal’s JRE/Tomcat product now GA. “PAS on Kubernetes is packaged as a tile for Ops Manager, and uses BOSH to deploy its system components. It requires vSphere, NSX-T, and Enterprise PKS. “ (“Tile” is Pivotal speak for “feature/sub-system/plugin/extension/component/product/etc.”) Good summary from NL coverage: Build Service: Easily automates container images for developers and offers companies audit and security controls that are needed to work with confidence on a large scale. Build Service is made possible by the CNCF Cloud-Native Buildpacks project and is co-developed by Pivotal. RabbitMQ for Kubernetes: Automates the implementation and management of RabbitMQ. In addition, RabbitMQ is configurable and offers a self-service experience for developers; Service Mesh: Automates the installation and configuration of Istio. This allows developers to drop apps to production quickly and safely. In addition, it provides secure networks that businesses need. Spring Runtime: It offers comprehensive support for Java environments, including OpenJDK, Spring Support and Apache Tomcat. The New Stack: The Pivotal Application Service Addresses Kubernetes Complexity. Pretty good summary of Pivotal Cloud Foundry as a whole: “Pivotal Application Service is a software application development platform based on the open-source Cloud Foundry project, which provides a range of clouds, developer frameworks and app services to work with. The idea is to make it easier for developers to build, test, deploy and scale up their apps on a variety of cloud platforms.” Taft: “This reflects an important strategic shift by Pivotal to acknowledge the importance of Kubernetes as an integral component of customers' application modernization programs, said Charlotte Dunlap, an analyst at GlobalData in Santa Cruz, Calif.” Jeffrey Hammond, Forrester: "For a while I've spoken to enterprises that are worried that they have to make a choice: PAS and Cloud Foundry, or go with Kubernetes and give up what they like about PAS. This makes it possible to keep what they like about PAS and work at a higher level of abstraction, without worrying about somehow missing out on all the innovation going on in the Kubernetes world." IBM kubernetes stuff, at OSCON. ‘Appsody is pitched as allowing developers to quickly create microservices to their organisation’s standards and requirements, using pre-configured stacks and templates for “popular open source runtimes and frameworks, providing a foundation to build applications for Kubernetes and Knative deployments.”’ ‘Codewind, is a project to provide extensions to IDEs, starting with VS Code, Eclipse and Eclipse Che, to allow them to be used to build containerised applications.’ ‘As for Kabanero, this aims to bring together projects like Knative, Istio and Tekton, along with Codewind, Appsody, and Razzee, to allow users to “architect, build, deploy, and manage the lifecycle of Kubernetes-based applications.” The project includes “pre-built deployments to Kubernetes and Knative (using Operators and Helm charts)…so, developers can spend more time developing scalable applications and less time understanding infrastructure.”’ For Digital Transformers, It's About Fast-Moving Data.

AT&T and IBM will also team up on developing “edge computing platforms” that harness 5G networks and internet-connected devices.’ Microsoft: Office 365, plus: “Beyond AT&T’s own internal use of Microsoft technology, the companies are working together on developing tools for artificial intelligence and high-speed 5G wireless, and plan to announce additional services later this year.” Also, coverage from Tim Anderson at The Register.

Drink your own dog food No matter the searing product strategy insight, ops is always left holding the bag. With few exceptions (like NSX), infrastructure software has to be free and easy to check out and even use. All product management and strategy decisions flow from that. Usually.

Analogously, you can bucket the pricing for all condemnts (with truffle oil being an outlier) in the $1 to $15 range. But not, like, $100. There must be some basic clusters of OSS pricing.

Most of the the innovations and responses - “digital transformation” are just getting better apps. Like, power companies that charge annually, my life insurance company with PDFs. E.g., Lemonade doing a claim for a Canadian Goose jacket for $979 in 3 seconds, Zürich Insurance using AR with risk engineers…Pivotal stories aplenty. The framing is basically “use these opportunities to reframe their relationship with the customer, leveraging the principles of customer experience and, in turn, will change their key processes and operations to deliver the CX-centric utility.” That is, better customer service, faster sales transactions (buying, whatever) with the customers, and easier research/comprehension (test out how long it takes you to find the details of benefits for your credit card - look up the price you pay for water - see what your total return on your retirement investing is, etc.). THIS IS ALL GREAT! BUT WHY SO HARD? (IS IT HARD?) My theory: this stuff isn’t hard, it just costs money and time.

I don’t know if it has a pickle plugin Salesforce synergizing at IBM and Red Hat, VMware buys Bitnami, and Linux Desktop market share analysis. Plus, pickles. Opening comments: The intersection between business books and dog vomit. Democracy sausage. Coté can’t get extra pickles. Let me close out this topic of pickles. It’s not Burger King. Enterprise Salespeople don’t get tattoos T-shirt currency arbitrage. Literally misspelled responsibility Tacos and IT transformation 7 layer burrito of IT transformation. BSD and Linux are the same, right? (Don’t email me.) Don’t watch Coté’s old videos. Did the cat walk on your keyboard? Relevant to your interests VMware to acquire Bitnami: VMware’s desires: “Upon close, Bitnami will enable our customers to easily deploy application packages on any cloud— public or hybrid—and in the most optimal format—virtual machine (VM), containers and Kubernetes helm charts. Further, Bitnami will be able to augment our existing efforts to deliver a curated marketplace to VMware customers that offers a rich set of applications and development environments in addition to infrastructure software.” Coté: so Bitnami is a thing that packages up software for you in (VMs?) containers and stuff, maybe with some Helm chart stuff for deploying to kubernetes? And a service that manages them in EC2? Jay@451: “The acquisition will also help VMware support applications in various forms – including VMs, containers and Kubernetes Helm charts – across the different infrastructures. With Bitnami, VMware is also positioned to support ISVs and open source software components with Bitnami's catalog of curated, secured, certified components.” “VMware says it has acquired Bitnami for its multi-cloud competency and its Kubernetes expertise. VMware's acquisitions of CloudVelox, Heptio and CloudHealth have signaled its appetite for multi-cloud and Kubernetes.” The New Stack coverage: “Monocular, a service described by Bitnami as an open source search and discovery frontend for Helm Chart repositories.” https://thenewstack.io/vmware-to-acquire-bitnami-the-app-marketplace-platform-and-container-packager/ Holy high street, Sainsbury's! Have you forgotten Bezos' bunch are the competition? Coté’s collection of interesting bits, including: “This was effectively taking a WebSphere e-commerce monolith with an Oracle RAC database, and moving it, and modularising it, and putting it into AWS.” “’Today, we run about 80 per cent of our groceries online with EC2, and 20 per cent is serverless.’ In total, the company migrated more than 7TB of data into the cloud. As a result, or so Jordan claimed, the mart spends 30 per cent less on infrastructure, and regularly sees a 70-80 per cent improvement in performance of interactions on the website and batch processing.” Australian $50 bills Symantec CEO Greg Clark steps down, stock drops GitHub Package Registry: Your packages, at home with their code JFrog and Sonatype watch out How Windows and Chrome quietly made 2019 the year of Linux on the desktop It’s time for another installment of Coté’s Pedantry on Market Share Analysis (tm). Windows ships a Linux in a nifty VM. Chromebook market share was ~13% in Gartner’s 2016Q4 estimates (based on 9.4m Chromebooks shipped out of 72.6m laptops total). Meanwhile, Gartner estimates that something like 2bn mobile devices (phones and tablets) were shipped in 2016. Gartner said shipments for “PCs, tablets and mobile phones” was 2.33bn in 2016 (if I read the press release right - something around those numbers). …if you run-rate the Chromebook Q4 (which is very kind since Christmas and corporate end-of-year spending is in Q4), you get 2016 shipments of 37.6m Chromebooks. So, out of all types of computing devices, Chromebooks are, like 37.6m out of 2.3bn, or ~2%, right? Clearly: LINUX DESKTOP VICTORY! (I guess you could throw MacOS in there, but those who’d care say that was BSD or something, right? Even if you do throw them in and do *nix market share, what’s it like? Gartner says 2018Q4 Apple share was 7.2%, so add in Chromebooks and we’re at 9.2% - round it up for shits and giggles, and we’re at 10%. That anything?) iOS - FreeBSD?

Jay@451’s summary: “Given the sprawl of tools and platforms for enterprise DevOps and CI/CD software releases, CloudBees' purchase of Electric Cloud represents a welcome consolidation in the industry. It also continues DevOps M&A that began with JFrog's acquisition of Shippable earlier this year. The deal should also have a broad impact on enterprise DevOps since CloudBees – backer of the widely used Jenkins CI server – will add release management, orchestration, automation and other aspects of CD from Electric Cloud, a leading enterprise DevOps specialist. The combined offerings should help provide feedback for enterprises throughout CI/CD release processes, enabling and enhancing feedback loops that are critical to successful DevOps implementations. The move may also help both vendors address the use of cloud-native software such as containers and Kubernetes, as well as hybrid cloud infrastructures that span on-premises, public and private cloud environments.” Electric Cloud has ~110 employees, CloudBess ~400.
