Down the Rabbithole - Special - "Master the Cloud" Calgary (w/celebrity guest Adam Growe)

Synopsis

  We were "live to tape" (as Adam says) from HP's Master the Cloud event in Calgary.  As we wrap up the road tour in the frozen city of Calgary I had the pleasure of sitting down with a comedian and celebrity, a technical expert on virtualization from HP, and the manager of Intel's advanced server technologies team.  This was a wild, off-the-rails discussion and you can really tell we were just having a good time and excited to wrap up the tour.  Great topics of discussion...

Topics covered in this episode include...

• Hypervisors and their value to cloud computing, virtualization and hacking
• Why are hypervisors critical to cloud computing?
• Will Intel build a hypervisor into the silicone?
• How robust driver stacks keep hypervisors 'safe' on the software level...
• "Raising the bar" on security (analogies of a department store)
• Virtualization of compute resources & BYOD ...slightly off the rails
• Federation of identities, and applied to social media
