DOAG Conference 2015 – It’s a wrap!

 

20151117_175947DOAG Conference is completed and it was a good one. I did two presentation, both are available for download now from the official DOAG site and from slidshare:

Also I enjoyed meeting my top 3 customers at the conference, attending some great sessions about Hadoop Security, API management and Dueck’s keynote (elaborating about how to treat techies more like cats than dogs, instead of talking about volkswagening). Also, for the first time we had an Oracle ACE dinner organized by Björn Rost and Martin Klier – thanks to OTN!

Interview: The (Emerging) Role of the Cloud Architect

I did an interview in San Francisco hosted by Bob Rhubart with some well known folks of the industry including Sten Vesterli, Ronald Luttikhuizn, Simon Haslam, Arturo Viveros, and Ron Batra about the role of the cloud architect.

IMHO we won’t see many people with the job title Cloud Architect on their business card. It’s increasingly important and disruptive tech, every architect, team leader and CIO has to deal with it, however it’s tech that you as a professional have to understand. The cloud changes a lot if you do it right, read my article about cloud benefits.

Enjoy listening to the interview.bob

 

Next Stop: SOALatam Conference Lima / Peru

Banner-Azul-SOAConference

Just back from Oracle Open Word 2015 in San Francisco, it’s a great honor for me that my presentation Docker Containers: A Thorough and Critical Overview was accepted for the the SOALatam conference in Lima. This is an independent conference but many examples and the demos will be based on Oracle Fusion Middleware or WebLogic. We cover key topics such as Security, Docker tools, Docker in public Clouds (Amazon, Google, Oracle).

Most presentation will be in Spanish, I will the only non-latino speaker apart from Thomas Erl.

I am looking forward to a world class conference in Lima and to meeting friends such as Tabata Jessica Pérez as well as Rolando Carrasco and Arturo Viveros from the SOA myth buster team. Thomas Erl is the keynote speaker and it’s also a good opportunity to win a top notch computer science text book 🙂

Heaps of reasons for a trip to Lima. CU there!
