In this episode, John and I start out talking about training for IT departments.

We then get into a discussion of Managed Objects‘ myCMDB for which James Governor and I had a briefing earlier this week. The first question people have been asking me - John included - is “was the IT Skeptic right?” Also, see this guest post over in McClure-land.

After this, we pull up our favorite topic clouds, briefily mentioning the “WHAO, COWBOY! SECURITY FREAK-OUT! CODE-BROWN! CODE-BROWN!” piece on the need for more security think in cloud land.

Finally, we wrap up with the idea of “Grounded Clouds,” or making sure to connect up your cloud stuff with all the on-premise software that exists out there. We get into commenting that most cloud providers probably have little idea about what “enterprise workloads” are (listener challenge: how many can you name?) and thus would be hard-pressed to figure out what to even migrate to the cloud. Less cynically, we talk about the interesting write-up of Cybernet moving its payroll system to EC2. This is the kind of think we need to see more of.
