TranscriptAnnouncer: Hello, and welcome to Screaming in the Cloud with your host, Chief Cloud Economist at The Duckbill Group, Corey Quinn. This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: Today’s episode is brought to you in part by our friends at MinIO the high-performance Kubernetes native object store that’s built for the multi-cloud, creating a consistent data storage layer for your public cloud instances, your private cloud instances, and even your edge instances, depending upon what the heck you’re defining those as, which depends probably on where you work. It’s getting that unified is one of the greatest challenges facing developers and architects today. It requires S3 compatibility, enterprise-grade security and resiliency, the speed to run any workload, and the footprint to run anywhere, and that’s exactly what MinIO offers. With superb read speeds in excess of 360 gigs and 100 megabyte binary that doesn’t eat all the data you’ve gotten on the system, it’s exactly what you’ve been looking for. Check it out today at min.io/download, and see for yourself. That’s min.io/download, and be sure to tell them that I sent you.Corey: This episode is sponsored by our friends at Oracle HeatWave is a new high-performance query accelerator for the Oracle MySQL Database Service, although I insist on calling it “my squirrel.” While MySQL has long been the worlds most popular open source database, shifting from transacting to analytics required way too much overhead and, ya know, work. With HeatWave you can run your OLAP and OLTP—don’t ask me to pronounce those acronyms again—workloads directly from your MySQL database and eliminate the time-consuming data movement and integration work, while also performing 1100X faster than Amazon Aurora and 2.5X faster than Amazon Redshift, at a third of the cost. My thanks again to Oracle Cloud for sponsoring this ridiculous nonsense.Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I’m Corey Quinn. So, I’ve been doing this podcast for a little while now—by my understanding, this is episode 300 and something—but back when the very first episode aired, I had pre-recorded the first twelve episodes. Episode number ten was with Lynn Langit who is, among many other things, the CEO of Lynn Langit Consulting, she is also the first person to achieve the AWS Community Hero and equivalent designations at all three of the primary tier-one hyperscale cloud providers, which I can’t even wrap my head around what it takes to get that at one of those companies. Lynn, thank you so much for agreeing to come back now that I’m no longer scared of the microphone.Lynn: Well, thank you for having me. It’s great to be back, Corey.Corey: So, it’s been a few years now since we really sat down and caught up. And what an interesting few years it’s been. There’s been a whole minor global pandemic thing that wound up hitting us from unexpected and unpleasant places. There’s been a significant, I would say, not revolution but evolution in how adoption of cloud services has been proceeding. The types of problems that customers are encountering, the conversational discourse has moved significantly away from, “Should we be using cloud?” Into, “Okay, we obviously should be using Cloud. How should we be using it?” And the industry keeps on churning. Sure there’s still rough parts, there are still ridiculous aspects of it, but what have you been up to?Lynn: Well, as you might remember, I have an independent consultancy where I do really what my customers need. I work ac
