SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Back on March 18th, Aaron and Ken Hui did a show about “Working from Home Tips and Tricks”. Can you even remember your mindset back in March?
- Zoom becomes a verb
Topic 1a - Is 2020 the Year of Virtual Desktops? Have you seen any last shifts happening about people being remote? [are companies going to allow people to work remote?]
Topic 2 - We’re starting to see the major clouds start to carve out some unique personalities:
- AWS - Goes over $10B for the quarter, not a lot of big announcements
- Azure - Lots of interesting growth around GitHub; pushing Teams hard with COVID; but had some scaling issues with COVID - also has made several acquisitions
- Google - Getting very sales focused (CEO Kurian); pushing Anthos into other clouds (AWS now, Azure soon)
- Oracle - Are they becoming the low-cost bandwidth cloud?
Topic 3 - Should anybody be running their own software anymore?
- MongoDB, Confluent, Datastax, Hashicorp, Red Hat, VMware (and many more) now have managed cloud-based versions of their core software.
Topic 4 - 2001 Internet Crash drove a ton of new innovation. 2008 Financial Crash led to the public cloud, but also lots of “cost savings” innovation. What does 2020 potentially bring?
Topic 5 - We have to talk about conferences and tradeshows. Do they return in 2021? What have we learned from the virtual ones in 2020?
Topic 6 - Any insights / predictions about the rest of 2020?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
