Existing: GE, EMC, and VMware. Momentum by penetration: "30% of the Fortune 100 currently work with Pivotal… The company now works with seven of the top 10 U.S. banks, three of the top five global auto manufacturers, and five of the top 10 telecommunication companies." Momentum by run-rate: "Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Pivotal Big Data Suite having crossed the $200 million and $100 million annual bookings run-rate milestones, respectively." Momentum by logos: "GE, Ford, Verizon, Home Depot, Comcast, Humana, Lockheed Martin, and Allstate" "Person familiar" says Pivotal now has a $2.8bn valuation. From the same article, Ford's chunk is $182.2m. Gartner actually "likes" OpenStack OpenStack and Gartner: The Facts - Alan Waite Good representation of many things: how difficult it is to be "part of the conversation" with a paywall. The perception of Gartner is usually skewed Tip: always read the primary source, be it a Gartner PDF or a talk, etc. Ping Pong and the Tech Bubble? "Falling table-tennis sales give a peek into the economics of Silicon Valley, where the right to play on the job is sacrosanct" Seriously? No wonder people hate Silicon Valley Hey, look, it's the Pivotal SF offices! Love that chunky coconut water. More DevOpsDays Seattle next week, May 12th and 13th - Coté has an ignite talk there. Ignite talks Jeff Bezos weighs in on rewrites This anecdote has really stuck with me Recommendations Brandon: SaveFrom.net/ - save videos from the web. Matt: New Radiohead "Burn the Witch" DevOpsDays Austin speaker gifts. Coté: Lords of Computing #12 - with Brian Gregory of Express Scripts. I don't usually toot my own content horn, but this was a good episode. Also, that Elon Musk book by Ashlee Vance. It was $2 on Amazon the other day, so YOLO. Also: James Governor on an Apple Watch with an explosion behind him.

OpenStack is crawling its way into the plateau of productivity, we submit, during this week of the OpenStack Summit. We also discuss the recent Docker survey findings, and some overly precise number on private vs. public cloud adoption. Coté also manages to insult the entire Eastern seaboard, esp. Annapolis.

Agile and Beyond conference OpenStack Coté's developer relations and marketing panel - see sample of questions. Big name membership momentum from @alsadowski Also, 451 market-size estimates: 2013: $486m; 2015: $1.2bn; 2018E: $3.37bn Docker Survey out - #WhatDoYouMakeOfThat Get the PDF Respondents are the HN set? - 511 respondents, 59% from software companies, 56% orgs less than 100 employees, 47% devs or dev managers 51% in production "survey respondents reported on average a 13X increase in frequency of software releases." "Because Docker makes it simple and easy to push software out, isolate issues and roll back, over 63% of organizations report a reduction in their MTTR which impacts overall software quality and customer satisfaction." Cloud about to get HUGE "CIOs report that 16.2% of workloads are currently running in the public cloud, and that in five years 41.3% of workloads will run in a public cloud. This suggests at least a 20% CAGR in public cloud workloads over the next five years. In our view, a near- tripling of the public-Cloud-based workload mix represents a monumental architectural shift, which shows no signs of abating and is likely to create a major ripple effect across the entire technology landscape." - "Amazon Seeing 'Momentous' Change of Guard as Public Cloud 'Booms,' Says JP Morgan" How does Wall Street work, again? A Rolex-level of "failure" Back of the Envelop podcast - where Ed used to teach Coté about how money works. Cisco OSpod podcast Dan Lyons book - candy walls and HubSpot.

I used Chapter app and it was better than the half-ass results with Fission. But, still, the marks didn't line up perfectly. Computers - amiright? (Don't get me wrong: Fission is awesome, but: really?) We should be in Google Play Podcasts - can someone verify this before they EOL it? I heard that two people have used the code CF16COTE to register for the CF Summit. I'm going to believe they're from the listeners here and not my newsletter. HOW YOU LIKE MY CPM NOW?! They love us in Brazil! Recommendations Brandon: TICKR heart-rate monitor. Matt: [Public cloud](www.slideshare.net/mattray/why-not-public-cloud). Also: renting your house is hard. Coté: OH YEAH!
