From CloudEXPO TV Archives:
The explosion of new web/cloud/IoT-based applications and the data they
generate are transforming our world right before our eyes. In this rush to
adopt these new technologies, organizations are often ignoring fundamental
questions concerning who owns the data and failing to ask for permission to
conduct invasive surveillance of their customers.

The World's Many IoTs: Which Are the Most Important?
The Internet of Things is clearly many things: data collection and analytics,
wearables, Smart Grids and Smart Cities, the Industrial Internet, and more.
Cool platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Intel's Galileo and Edison, and a
diverse world of sensors are making the IoT a great toy box for developers in
all these areas.
In this Power Panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger
Strukhoff, panelists discussed what things are the most important, which will
have the most profound effect on the world, and what should we expect to see
over the next couple of years.

Don't Forget the Ops: Build Operations into Your Cloud
Many private cloud projects were built to deliver self-service access to
development and test resources. While those clouds delivered faster access to
resources, they lacked visibility, control and security needed for production
deployments.

In their session at 18th Cloud Expo, Steve Anderson, Product Manager at BMC
Software, and Rick Lefort, Principal Technical Marketing Consultant at BMC
Software, discussed how a cloud designed for production operations not only
helps accelerate developer innovation, it also delivers the control that IT
Operations needs to run a production cloud without getting in the way.

This blog was written with the thoughtful assistance of David Leibowitz, Dell
EMC Director of Business Intelligence, Analytics & Big Data
So data warehousing may not be cool anymore, you say? It’s yesterday’s
technology (or 1990’s technology if you’re as old as me) that served
yesterday’s business needs. And while it’s true that recent big data and
data science technologies, architectures and methodologies seems to have
rendered data warehousing to the back burner, it is entirely false that there
is not a critical role for the data warehouse and Business Intelligence in
digitally transformed organizations.
Maybe the best way to understand today’s role of the data warehouse is with
a bit of history. And please excuse us if we take a bit of liberty with
history (since we were there for most of this!).

Scaling Up, Up and Away with Low-Code Application Platforms
You have great SaaS business app ideas. You want to turn your idea quickly
into a functional and engaging proof of concept. You need to be able to
modify it to meet customers' needs, and you need to deliver a complete and
secure SaaS application. How could you achieve all the above and yet avoid
unforeseen IT requirements that add unnecessary cost and complexity? You also
want your app to be responsive in any device at any time.

It's Complicated - Choosing the Right AWS Services
Without a clear strategy for cost control and an architecture designed with
cloud services in mind, costs and operational performance can quickly get out
of control. To avoid multiple architectural redesigns requires extensive
thought and planning. Boundary (now part of BMC) launched a new public-facing
multi-tenant high resolution monitoring service on Amazon AWS two years ago,
facing challenges and learning best practices in the early days of the new
service.

Config as Code vs Immutable Continuous Delivery in the Cloud
In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Claude Remillard, Principal Program
Manager in Developer Division at Microsoft, contrasted how his team used
config as code and immutable patterns for continuous delivery of
microservices and apps to the cloud.

He showed how the immutable patterns help developers do away with most of the
complexity of config as code-enabling scenarios such as rollback, zero
downtime upgrades with far greater simplicity. He also demoed building

Why should the enterprise SaaS consumer pay for the SaaS service if their data is resident in adjacent AWS S3 buckets?

CloudEXPO | DXWorldEXPO New York will present keynotes, general sessions, and more than 20 blockchain sessions by leading FinTech experts.
Smart Cities are here to stay, but for their promise to be delivered, the data they produce must not be put in new siloes.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mathias Herberts, Co-founder and CTO of Cityzen Data, discussed the best practices that will ensure a successful smart city journey. 
DXWorldEXPO | CloudEXPO are the world's most influential, independent events where Cloud Computing was coined and where technology buyers and vendors meet to experience and discuss the big picture of Digital Transformation and all of the strategies, tactics, and tools they need to realize their goals. Sponsors of DXWorldEXPO | CloudEXPO benefit from unmatched branding, profile building and lead generation opportunities. 
IoT is rapidly becoming mainstream as more and more investments are made into the platforms and technology. As this movement continues to expand and gain momentum it creates a massive wall of noise that can be difficult to sift through. Unfortunately, this inevitably makes IoT less approachable for people to get started with and can hamper efforts to integrate this key technology into your own portfolio. There are so many connected products already in place today with many hundreds more on the horizon, that we already run the risk as enablers and supporters of not being able to effectively und...
