| 6/17/26 |  AI Got Export Controlled And Everyone Got Grounded - Monthly News Update | Send us Fan Mail We react to the biggest stories from Cisco Live, focusing on why Cloud Control and Multi-Cloud Fabric could simplify how teams manage multi-domain infrastructure. We also unpack the Mythos export control shockwave and the growing backlash to AI data centers as efficiency claims collide with real community costs. • Cloud Control as a manager of managers, bringing consoles, telemetry, and logs closer together • Early-stage reality of “unified” platforms, plus the ... | 42m 36s | ||||||

| 12/3/25 |  Bots, Bursts, And Bare Metal: Because The Internet Wanted Drama | Send us Fan Mail We break down Cloudflare’s outage, why a small config change caused big waves, and what better guardrails could look like. We then unpack AWS and Google’s cross‑cloud link, Megaport’s move into bare metal and GPUs, Webex adding deepfake defenses, and a new startup aiming to tune AI networks at microsecond speed. • Cloudflare outage root cause and fallout • Automation guardrails, validation and rollbacks • AWS–Google cross‑cloud connectivity preview • Pricing, routing and pol... | 32m 56s | ||||||
| 11/19/25 |  What is NaaS (Network as a Service)? | Send us Fan Mail Networks can sometimes feel like a maze of licenses, tunnels, and 2 a.m. pager alerts. We sit down with Graphiant CEO Ali Shaikh to unpack how Network as a Service makes connectivity on-demand, consumption-based, and finally as flexible as the cloud it serves. From the SD-WAN wave to the pandemic reset, Ali explains why the old build-and-forget model couldn’t keep pace with multi-cloud, remote work, and fast-moving partnerships—and how a stateless, metadata-driven fabric chan... | 55m 41s | ||||||
| 11/5/25 |  Monthly News Update: DNS Did That Thing Again... | Send us Fan Mail Start with a simple truth: when the platform breaks, your clever architecture won’t save you. We dig into the AWS US‑East‑1 outage where DynamoDB’s role in DNS planning for load balancers collided with a race condition, leaving empty records and stalled EC2 instances. Forget the finger‑wagging about “well‑architected” apps—this was a platform failure with limited customer escape routes. We weigh multi‑region and multi‑cloud trade‑offs with a sober look at cost, complexity, an... | 32m 20s | ||||||
| 10/22/25 |  Tech Evangelism and Making Networking Cool Again with Alexis Bertholf | Send us Fan Mail If the network is the backbone of modern tech, why did it fade into the background while cloud, AI, and security stole the spotlight? We sit down with technical evangelist Alexis Berthoff to pull the curtain back on the real work of making complex systems understandable, usable, and resilient. Alexis shares how she acts as a translator between product, marketing, sales, and the community, turning feedback into better features, clearer messaging, and practical guidance that ac... | 34m 56s | ||||||
| 10/8/25 |  Monthly News Update: $1 Trillion Later, Can It Run Doom? | Send us Fan Mail We weigh efficiency against hype as Huawei’s open-source quantization aims to shrink LLM costs while AI spending sprints toward $1.5T. From Oracle’s blue-sky risk to Cisco’s SNMP flaws, Equinix and Alkira’s AI networking moves, and a leap into quantum networking, we look for what’s real and what’s next. • Huawei’s SINQ quantization for smaller, cheaper LLM deployments • AI spend approaching $1.5T amid capacity and power constraints • Oracle downside risk and the velocity of ... | 29m 04s | ||||||
| 9/24/25 |  Automating Cloud Native vs. On-Prem Networks with Eric Chou | Send us Fan Mail The gap between cloud-native and traditional networking has never been more evident. As organizations struggle with hybrid environments, finding a unified management strategy feels like searching for the mythical "one ring to rule them all." In this thought-provoking episode, we welcome Eric Chou, author, instructor, and podcast host with over a decade of experience at AWS and Azure. Eric brings a rare insider perspective on how hyperscalers approach networking fundamentally... | 50m 42s | ||||||

| 8/27/25 |  Cloud Networking Basics: VPC - AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud | Send us Fan Mail What happens when three major cloud providers each reimagine network design from scratch? You get three completely different approaches to solving the same fundamental problem. The foundation of cloud networking begins with the virtual containers that hold your resources: AWS's Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), Azure's Virtual Networks (VNets), and Google Cloud's VPCs (yes, the same name, very different implementation). While they all serve the same basic purpose—providing logi... | 40m 54s | ||||||
