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 Cloud. Counting the pennies, but still dreaming of deploying apps instead of “Hello, World” demos? Allow me to introduce you to Oracle’s Always Free tier. It provides over 20 free services and infrastructure, networking, databases, observability, management, and security. And—let me be clear here—it’s actually free. There’s no surprise billing until you intentionally and proactively upgrade your account. This means you can provision a virtual machine instance or spin up an autonomous database that manages itself, all while gaining the networking, load balancing, and storage resources that somehow never quite make it into most free tiers needed to support the application that you want to build. With Always Free, you can do things like run small-scale applications or do proof-of-concept testing without spending a dime. You know that I always like to put asterisks next to the word free? This is actually free, no asterisk. Start now. Visit snark.cloud/oci-free that’s snark.cloud/oci-free.Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I’m Corey Quinn. Today’s promoted episode is about a topic that is near and dear to my heart. In the AWS universe, we have seen over time that the networking has gotten more and more capable going from EC2 Classic to the world of VPC network to a whole bunch of other things. But with that capability comes a stupendous amount of complexity, to the point where the easy answer to, “Do you understand how networking works within AWS?” Is, of course, no, “I don’t.”I’m joined today by Philip Griffiths, who’s the Head of Business Development at NetFoundry. Philip, thank you for joining me.Philip: Pleasure to be here, Corey.Corey: So, NetFoundry has what I would argue to be one of the most intriguing-slash-differentiated approaches to handling that ever-increasing complexity around the networking story, not just in AWS, but a number of different cloud providers, and between them, and that approach is to ignore it completely. Have I nailed the salient approach here with that, I guess we’ll call
