This Month on the Cloudcast (.NET)

Another great month for the Cloudcast (.NET) podcast.  Here is a summary:

• Episode #58 - The Cloudcast's first ever live round table discussion at Build a Cloud Day. I thought it went very well and you can hardly tell where I edited us getting kicked out of the room (saved for the bloopers show)
• Episode #59 - Luke from PuppetLabs. Personally I think one of the best interviews we've ever done.  Luke was great to talk to and really knows his stuff.  The conversation went some places I didn't expect but overall awesome quality and always good to have Nick riding shotgun.
• Episode #61 - Justin from Basho. The concept of NoSQL scale out databases is new to me and I learned a TON on this show. Justin did a great job explaining some of the nuts and bolts of databases and cloud storage.

First one to spot our mistake this month gets a prize...

EMC & Puppet Labs Announce Project Razor

Something really cool happened this morning!  EMC and Puppet Labs jointly announced a next generation provisioning system called Project Razor.  Brian and I had a chance to sit down with Puppet Labs and EMC to get some exclusive information on the project for a Cloudcast that we released this morning.  If you are at EMC World, be sure to check out Chad's World featuring Razor tonight at 5:30

Rather than tell you all about it, here are a bunch of links hot off the press (but go listen to the podcast!!):
