Cloud Wars





Cloud Wars are upon us.
We had no choice and no one really asked us whether we want them.
They came to bind us all.
Those who live with their heads in the clouds and feet on the ground will survive.
Those who don't won't. It is irrelevant what you think or do.
Very few people are really think and know what is really going.
The Developer as it was and is now will disappear. You can develop whatever you want and eventually it will be offered as a Service by them. You too small and no one can see you.
They will swallow everything and everyone. The idea is very neat and smart.
If you hold the 'Shift' key and type number 4 it will give you an answer - $.
Yes it is 4 big Cloud providers out there: Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon and Google (MOAG)
Everything will run in the Cloud (MOAG). Even if you crazy talented and develop something outstanding and use MOAG to run your next big thing eventually they will swallow you.
Think Netflix on Amazon. Netflix was a king until Amazon created its own Netflix and called it Amazon Prime. You can innovate like crazy and think you can outsmart them.
Think again. Whatever you invent will end up in the Cloud sooner or later.
One Cloud to rule them all and in the Darkness bind them :)
They will have visibility into everything what is running on their Clouds by other companies.
Retail, Engineering, Genetic Research etc. etc.  and you can't hide. Anything worth copying and re-engineering will be. Its a free market. By the time you find out about something they will already forget about it. You never in front and always behind.
Enough said. The future is bright.

Fight for the Light within

Finally I understand. Or it seems that I do. There is no Attainment. My whole approach to life around me was and is wrong. The energies around me is not be controlled, they are to be adapted to and allowed to freely pass without interferring. John Lennon sang about it in his 'Fool on the Hill'. But his main theme was somewhat passive and reflective - 'See the world going round'. The true mastery is when you are riding the never ending 'merry-go-round' of life energies like a surfer - using high waves to propel you forward to the shore of your goals and destiny.  Inevitably will be the times when I will fall and will have to climb back on my board and attempt to catch the next wave.  Will be the times when I will be scared by the magnitude of the wave coming towards me and possibly the sharks swimming nearby.  I will see other people drowning and not reaching the shore and shouting to me: 'Its hopeless we will all drown'. Will be times...

Locomotive Breath

Living through the transition period is quite extradionary. We all kinda know and anticipate the outcome but not in a position to do anything about it. Like watching your train leaving the station and taking you for a ride. Matrix showed us the final result with humans being used to power machines. We all in one or the other way using our own energies to breathe the life in cold metal - building networks, programming and maintaining computers. They getting smarter and smarter and we are all excited about the possibilities of artificial intelligence. But the train will arrive to the next station and it will be our turn to get off. The train will be smart enough to move on its own without us. The train will be smart enough to look for sources of alternative energy if we try to stop it.

F5 APM

I have been playing with F5 LTM APM since 2012 and noticed that it is getting popular and more prominent. The easy interface and configuration makes a tool of professional choice. I have advising many network teams on how to configure and properly use F5 with different vendors IAM. It is even more important as F5 has Virtual Edition meaning you can design your private cloud IAM and enjoy F5 SSO to your protected apps. The trick is to make sure you have license for the Application Policy Manager - APM. As you can see from the screenshot above once APM is licensed it is just one pull-down from the menu. You can configure F5 to be your SAML IDP or SP the choice is limited to your imagination. In the next posts I will walk through typical SAML SSO setup with Oracle Access Manager Stay tuned :)
