There's some exciting private cloud news on the horizon with Microsoft's Azure Stack coming out in September. We discuss the brief history of private cloud and several models people have tried, along with some other news from the infrastructure software world. With no guest, Richard and I discuss some projects we're working from cloud-native .Net, enterprise integration, and enterprise architecture.

News

• Microsoft Azure Stack hardware available to order, ships in September. Private cloud: if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

  • Scott Guthrie: “We talked to lots of customers who said, please don’t do that [allow so much customization that it's hard to debug problems]. The model we came up with instead was to work with a large spectrum of hardware providers, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Cisco and Huawei. Those are the five largest server manufacturers in the world. They will have systems that start with three nodes, not massive big purchases, that you can unbox and plug in. And have a fully working cloud in a day or two. Regardless of whom you call, we own the whole solution.”

• Google reimagines private cloud. Some pretty advanced networking here that shows serious engineering chops.

• Introducing Spring Cloud Function. Serverless serverless serverless serverless.

  • What's this JEFF thing?
