Lightning Talk

In​termediate

On-Prem is the new Black

10:35 - 10:40 AM ET ; Epic Hall Room​

In a world where Cloud gives us the ease and flexibility to deploy and scale your apps we often overlook ​security and control. The fact that resources in the cloud are still shared, the hardware is shared, the network ​is shared, there is not much insight into the infrastructure unless the logs are exposed by the cloud provider. ​Even an air gap environment in the cloud is truly not air gapped, it's a pseudo-private network. Moreover, the ​general trend in the industry is shifting towards cloud repatriation, it's a fancy term for bringing your apps ​and services from cloud back to on-prem, like old school how things were run before the cloud was even a ​thing. This shift has caused what I call a knowledge gap where engineers are only familiar with interacting ​with infrastructure via APIs but not the hardware or networks their application runs on. In this talk I aim to ​demystify on-prem environments and more importantly show engineers how easy and smooth it is to repatriate ​data from cloud to an on-prem air gap environment.
