Hey everyone, I think I'm live. Thanks for having me for this maintainer Q&A. My name is Matt Klein, a software engineer at Lyft. I'm still trying to figure out this meeting platform.  And if you would like to start asking questions, I can go ahead and answer them for you. Or I will also join the Slack room if we want to ask questions that way. So please start firing away and I will monitor the live Q&A. And also, if it isn't already obvious, this is a maintainer Q&A for Envoy Proxy. Looks like we don't have any questions yet. All right. Looks like we are starting to get some questions. Fantastic. First question is, can you explain the role of WebAssembly in Envoy? So for those that don't know, WebAssembly is an execution framework, you know, where you can take programs that are written in multiple different languages, such as Rust and C++ and Go and TypeScript and things like that. And you can compile them down to a common runtime. And then you can execute them in a safe sandbox. And, you know, it's a really exciting technology in that it allows us to extend things like Envoy in a set of programming languages that people are comfortable with. Whereas historically, the only way to extend Envoy has been with either writing C++ extensions, which has a fairly high learning curve and also obviously has inherent safety issues. And then the other extension option that we've offered has been Lua scripting. And Lua scripting has worked out very well, but again, not everyone likes to program in Lua. And, you know, we don't have extension points for all of the different ways that you can currently extend Envoy and C++. So we really view WebAssembly as the future of Envoy extensibility. And, you know, we view that for, again, a couple of different reasons. One of them is that will allow people to write extensions in different languages that they're comfortable in. So if people want to write in TinyGo, they can do that. If they want to write in Rust, they can do that. If they want to write in Safe C++, they can do that. And then over time, I would expect us to allow WebAssembly to offer extensions in all of the places today that C++ can be used to extend Envoy, which is, you know, again, at this point probably 10 or 15 or 20 different extension points. So I think it's going to take us two or three years before we get there. But I am really extremely excited for WebAssembly as a technology that will allow people to dynamically extend Envoy. And also when associated with other things that we've been working on around dynamic configuration of filters and extensions, I think there's also really interesting possibilities of allowing WebAssembly code to be dynamically distributed to proxies. So the use case that comes to mind is think of something like a web application firewall or WAF filter, where maybe we want to, you know, send rules dynamically down to the proxy, and maybe those rules are written in WebAssembly and they're compiled in a server off host, and then they are dynamically sent down to Envoy. So hopefully that answers your question. But, you know, I think it's a very, very exciting technology that's going to take us a couple of different years, sorry, a couple of years to actually see the complete fruit stuff. Looking, let's see. Next question is I'd be interested in an update on UDP support in Envoy. So UDP support is, I would say it's fairly robust at this point. We offer, obviously, UDP listeners. We offer UDP proxy. And within the UDP proxy, we offer various different hashing mechanisms. So I, you know, I would definitely encourage people to go through and look at that support. And if it doesn't meet your, what I would call raw UDP use cases, definitely let us know. Obviously UDP itself is also used for quick and HTTP3. So there's an increasing amount of effort going into UDP robustness. And I actually expect us to have a public alpha support of quick HTTP3 support in Envoy, probably in the next couple of days. So that is quite, quite exciting. But again, I think UDP support is ready to go. And I would encourage you to take a look and let us know if there are any issues with the current support. Okay, let's see. Next question. Do you think we will see OIDC support directly in Envoy at some point for using an external OIDC IDP and configure that directly in Envoy?  I do know, you know, that we have an increasing number of filters that are operating in this space around things like OAuth and then obviously we've had the external authorization filter for quite some time. I think the big challenge that we have within Envoy is obviously trying to keep it somewhat generic and not assume any particular backend server implementation. So, you know, I don't think I'm inherently opposed to additional support in this area, but it's definitely not my area of expertise. So I would definitely encourage you to open issues on this and we can discuss further. I'm trying to see how I can see the questions that haven't been answered. Okay, let's see. Next question. Hello, Matt, your deep dive on Envoy internals at Coupan EU Copenhagen is still to date my favorite tech doc. Thank you. To such talks help onboarding contributors to Envoy. I think when Envoy was starting out, I definitely viewed it as very important to, you know, help educate people on Envoy internals. And so I think doing talks and writing blog posts and obviously answering questions and talking to folks within the community has been a really, you know, important thing that has allowed Envoy to become what it is today. Sadly, I don't have as much time as I used to so between responsibilities for the project and having two young kids frankly. I just don't personally have as much time so I would obviously love to be giving more deep dive internal talks and I would encourage more folks to give those talks or write blog posts or do whatever makes the most sense for them. But I just don't have the time right now so. Yes, I think those types of talks and blog posts really help the project. And one of the pitches that I would say to folks is, you know, it's counterintuitive but I think most people, you know, think that it's tough to get people to work on a project like Envoy in terms of the low level code. And the honest reality is that it's actually not that hard to find people to write low level C++ code. What's really hard is to find people who care about documentation and education and examples and all these kinds of things. What's interesting to all of you is that from a contributor standpoint, we really don't actually need more people to write C++ code. We need more people to help with, you know, these types of deep dives and giving talks and writing blog posts and working on documentation. So I would certainly encourage anyone listening who is interested in contributing in those ways to reach out to us or myself. Thank you for your question. Could you give a quick status update on Windows support. I am not in the day to day of Windows and I actually tried to have one of the maintainers of Windows join this chat but unfortunately the platform was locked and we could not add him, but I believe we are pretty close to offering a Windows GA and, you know, that won't be 100% feature parity with Linux, but it will be close and it should be usable for Windows production workloads and I know that there's various organizations that are wanting to use it in this chat. So I think we're pretty close and I would definitely look for a blog post coming out in the next couple of weeks that will announce that and then you can give it a shot. Just make sure that I have gone through all of the questions that we have so far. I'm just going to delete the ones that I've answered. Please fire away. I have another question. With the rise of rust usage in low level stacks and the improvements to the networking libraries. Do you ever think I'm boy will have some rust in it. I think absolutely yes, I, I think we're already starting to see rust within WebAssembly. So I think my impression is that rust is the most common language that people are using to write WebAssembly extensions. So I think that's where we are going to see it start. And like all of the recent announcements of bringing rust to the Linux kernel. And then rust other projects such as such as Chromium. I fully expect that we will, you know, that we will see rust within Envoy. You know, I think it's a very exciting path that that language is taken. And, you know, I'm no, I'm no huge supporter of C++ myself so if there's a better alternative, I think that would be great. And like all of these other projects we have hundreds of thousands of complicated lines of code and it's not recently possible to rewrite everything. So I think we're going to be taking a pragmatic approach. And I think the bigger complexity for Envoy versus something like Linux is rust and C interop is a bit easier than rust and C++ interop. And I don't have a link handy, but I think that the folks over at Chromium have, you know, done some research and there's some really great projects within the rust community on C++ and rust interop. And I would expect that that's an area that's only going to get better over the next few years because there's obviously hundreds of millions, billions, I don't know, maybe even a trillion lines of C++ code out there. We're not going to rewrite it all at once. We're going to have to take a pragmatic approach. And yes, I would definitely expect to see rust within Envoy. Any other questions, don't be shy. Happy to also take questions in the main two KubeCon maintainer Slack room, if that's easier. Okay, let's see. Next question. What is the biggest thing you would want to improve in Envoy right now if you had all the time you wanted? That's a tough one. I think for me, it would probably still be around documentation and onboarding, you know, I think we still do a great job. You know, around the code and the features, the feature velocity continues to be huge. You know, there's always small improvements that we can do in code quality or, you know, in testing coverage or in performance or all of those things. But, you know, we have so many extremely talented contributors that work on that stuff that it's not a huge concern of mine. But I, you know, I think in terms of things that we can improve, it really is that onboarding experience. And what I do mention to people, which I find very interesting is that I'm very frequently told with Envoy, you know, two different things. I'm told on one hand that the project has amazing documentation and it's fantastic.  And, you know, the take away from that for me is that it's obviously we have a lot of different types of consumers and it's very difficult to have a one size fits all approach to project documentation. But one of the things that I think that we can do really well is to improve that onboarding experience and we have made a lot of strides here recently with improving documentation linkages. You know, making things less manual making sure that for extensions we can click through to the documentation for them and have examples. We have a lot more sandbox examples now. But there's other things that I think that we can do, for example, have a, you know, VS code Envoy configuration plugin so that where it has type ahead, and it has built documentation and things like that. So that's probably the one thing I think it's the onboarding and I think that's where we can bridge the gap to people that might be intimidated by all of Envoy's functionality because her better or worse Envoy is a very complicated piece of software that has lots of different features and it can be very intimidating for new users. So I think just really investing in that documentation writing examples and that entire ecosystem. I think that's the thing that I would like to improve if there is unlimited time. So let's see. Next question is, which benefits other than performance does XDS provide. So for those that don't know XDS is the name of our generic configuration API. We started a long time ago was just a few different XDS APIs, things like EDS or endpoint discovery service, CDS cluster discovery service, LDS the server discovery service and over time, you know, we have developed I don't even know now probably between, you know, 10 or so, 10 or so different APIs. And the main thing that XDS provides and I actually think that XDS has been the main contribution of Envoy versus the code is it has given us a well defined base where we care about backwards compatibility. So we take it super seriously in terms of the API design and now, you know, XDS in its current form is actually expanded beyond Envoy. We now see that GRPC uses XDS. I think there's internal systems and tools of various companies that speak XDS. So, you know, we've effectively developed a network configuration API, you know, for for these types of systems. So I think the real benefit, you know, it's not really want to performance I think the real benefit of XDS is it's giving us a common language that we can use, you know, that will allow us to actually configure these types of systems across the industry. And that has spawned huge vertical ecosystem of products and services based on Envoy and eventually GRPC and other systems. So, I think that's, that's the main benefit of XDS. Let me just go through some more questions now. Let me clean these out. Okay, next question. Based on your experience and growing and building a community around Envoy, what advice would you give to newly founded OSS projects, besides the onboarding experience. I've given several talks on this and it's something that I think about a lot. And I don't think there's, I don't think there's one one answer here. I do think that the onboarding experience is very important as has been noted. So, you know, things like a slick UI and making sure that there's examples ready to go and things like Docker and Docker compose, you know, and making sure that people can can get started with the project as well as with the contribution guidelines. You know, the, the main piece of advice that I give people, you know, around starting an open source project is that it's a huge time commitment to do well. Building community is hard work, and it really requires a lot of efforts and a lot of patience and a lot of time. And the biggest piece of advice that I actually give people which sounds really, really simple and probably obvious is just to be really nice, you know, when you when you start a new project, you don't, you don't have a community you don't have anyone to actually help, and so being new contributors and new maintainers and new people to join up is is the most important thing. So being very welcoming to everyone that comes, you know, making sure that communication is just welcoming and nice, and, you know, taking the time to answer people's questions and get them onboarded and facilitate helping them with the code and all of those things. I think, you know, that that is probably the most important thing. I think there's smaller items, like trying to have good issues for new contributors and again good documentation and all of the ancillary non code things that, you know, people tend to think about after that, but in my opinion in my experience they tend to be more important than the code itself. So I would, I would definitely, definitely encourage focusing on those things, and I don't have the link handy right now but I gave a talk at OS con a couple years ago. I think the tight it's on YouTube and I think the title is you know something around the, you know, amazing success of on boy. So I definitely search for that talk and I gave an entire talk on this topic. Let's see. I have a question. Do you think some part of the envoy magic could be rewritten using ebpf. Would it make sense on the performance side. I'm also not an ebpf experts. I, I definitely believe that there are probably large parts of on boy that could be written using using ebpf. Theoretically possible that all of on boy could be written using ebpf, you know, whether that's practical or not. I don't know. But I, I do think that over time, we will definitely see more functionality move into the kernel just from just from a performance standpoint. We already see projects such as psyllium that rely both on ebpf as well as on boy where they have a split of doing, you know, a bunch of functionality in the kernel in terms of things like TLS offload and more efficient routing of packets, you know, between processes. And then they also route up to envoy to do various policy aspects. So, you know, they would certainly be the best people to ask in terms of why they've chosen to split things where they have and whether over time they expect more functionality to move within ebpf. I would imagine the biggest issue on the ebpf side is that, and again, I'm not an expert here is I think there are restrictions on the type of code that can run within ebpf. For example, my understanding is that I don't I don't think you can have things like loops and various other things, you know, so I think it would be difficult to rewrite all of on boy as an ebpf program. But, you know, between some combination of ebpf and kernel offload and, you know, running in, you know, user space projects like on boy, I have no doubt that things will shift around over time. Okay, let's see next question. Since documentation is the main improvement part, what's the main thing and on boy lacking documentation for now in your opinion, besides generic newcomer stuff. I think the main thing that we're lacking right now and on boy around documentation actually comes back to extensions. I think. So, for those that don't know on boy uses protobuf as our configuration language on. I'm a huge proponent of protobuf I think it's an amazing project and I think in proto three they've done a really incredible job of allowing conversion between yamal and Jason and proto. And so it really gives you the best of both worlds and allows people to configure things in yamal but still have, you know, the real inherent structure of the protobuf ideal. And without getting into the weeds, the way that we handle extensive extension configuration with on boy from a configuration perspective is a little convoluted and can be very difficult to learn for it can be difficult to learn for new users. With the way that extension works that we basically use type URLs within protobuf. So there's a protobuf type called an any, and it allows you to specify a generic type and then have configuration within that. And it's done for a very good reason, which is that on boy allows extensions to be compiled into the binary that on boy doesn't know about ahead of time. So we need this generic mechanism where we can offer extensions on boy core doesn't know about, and then users can actually configure them. So, you know, we use this protobuf any and type URL configuration mechanism. The problem with that is that for new users, it can be very difficult for them to understand what is what are the extensions that are available. What is the magic type URL that I have to use. What is the configuration that can come under that type URL. And once you're, you know, an experienced user. That it's not a big deal. But for new users, it can be very daunting. And so that's what I was talking about before, where we're starting to put in a lot of effort into cross linking between various aspects of the documentation so that it's automated. So you go to an extension point and you can, you know, click through all of the different extensions that are available. We want to provide example snippets for every extension so that the user can just see what they have to put into their config. Again, I'd like to do a VS code plugin where you know it actually has auto completion. So I think there's some things that we can do there that will really help the 99% use case. So I think that's the main thing and I think the work is ongoing, but if you're passionate about it. Definitely please, please reach out and help us. Next question. Any plans for XDS v4. No, the XDS v2 to v3 transition was a very large learning experience for the project. And I'm going to be honest, I think knowing what we know now, we would not have done it. And I think that we are, we are retaining the opportunity to do a v4, but there are no plans to do it. And realistically, I think we are many years to never out from it. And instead of doing a v4, we are working now on a minor version proposal, which will try to actually have it'll be a compromise between doing a clean new version where we can actually delete fields, and allowing us to have clients that will remove deprecated functionality that may have been deprecated for several years. So, yeah, I would definitely watch this space. I think it's something that we will continue to improve and learn about. But at this point, I think the, the amount of effort around the industry that went into v3 was not worth the benefit. Part of that is actually just hindsight on on time and growth of the project. We started talking about v3. At this point, it was probably a year and a half ago, and just with the meteoric rise of the project, we didn't have as many users as we have now. So, you know, I think when we started talking about it, we really underestimated the, you know, the burden that it would cause people we didn't understand it. And I think we have a better understanding now coupled with just the large usage. So I think, you know, I think we've learned a lot, I think we're going to continue to improve in this area, and I would expect us to do better in the future and know I don't expect to see a v4 anytime soon. Well, it looks like we have time for one or two more questions. So please go ahead and type them in. Let's see. Since this is a maintainer Q&A, could you share with us how things went regarding your work as an envoy maintainer and as an engineer at Lyft at the same time, even if both are linked? Like what balance did you find between work on envoy that was related to Lyft needs and work on envoy that was unrelated? Was there any real discussion about this or did things just happen naturally? This is a complicated topic. And I've done a few podcasts on this and I would definitely encourage folks to, you know, to listen to some of the podcasts that I've done in this area. But very quickly, I would say it's complicated. I think as an industry, we don't do a very good job of being honest with people about the needs of open source. In terms of just what it means to do the things that I was talking about before about answering questions and helping people and fixing bugs and doing things that may not be directly related to the employer of the person who's doing that. And, you know, I will be honest in saying that in 2017, you know, that was a very rough period of time for me in which Lyft was supportive, for sure. But still, I was doing two jobs then I was, you know, basically working full time on, you know, really creating the community and recruiting maintainers and contributors and all of the wonderful people that we see today and that was a full time job. And at that time I was still working full time at Lyft basically operating Envoy and running the networking team. And 2017 was a very tough year because I there just weren't enough hours in the day and I had to choose between Envoy and choose between Lyft and, you know, there were some conflicts there. And obviously things could have gone better in certain cases but you know that's just life. And, you know, now, obviously with the success of the project, things are much improved. I, you know, I have a bit more leeway to, you know, spend time on open source and to make sure that I have a decent work life balance. But I'm going to be completely honest that it's a it's a really difficult problem and there's no easy answer here. And what I would say just wrapping up is that I really encourage a very open and honest communication around open source between employer and employee and be really honest about motivations and time. And I really encourage people just to have that constant conversation to hopefully avoid getting into that two job, two job situation. And I also encourage people like the poster mentioned in their question to try to find common ground of working on open source, you know, for things that the company actually cares about and I think that's that's the way that it tends tends to go the best. So I will stop there. I will be in slack if people want to continue this conversation. And anyway, thank you very much for having me and thank you for coming to this maintainer Q&A.


And now to a little bit of history, we're going back to the year 2014, where on this day, Germany, of course, there were celebrations all across Germany to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. This happened in 1989 actually, but in 2014 there was a 25-year celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. If you remember way back then before that happened, it was a wall that was built to keep East Germans locked behind that wall. There are certain movies that have also been made with regards to the Berlin Wall. 8,000 helium balloons were released into the night over Germany's capital in the combination of the events to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. And it also says that tens of thousands of people attended events including a citizens party at the Brandenburg Gate. It was built in 1961 to stop people fleeing communist East and the fall of the Wall in 1989 became a powerful symbol of the end of the Cold War. The anniversary was also mentioned in an address by Pope Francis in Rome. It was officially referred to as the Antifascist Protection Rampart by GDR authorities. And so on this day there were massive celebrations in Germany marking the 25th year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. That's just a little bit of history for you today. And of course we'll take a short break where we come back. Our first major conversation takes us to Emo State where, oh not Emo State actually, where there seems to be a bit of controversy with the speaker being suspended. We'll be back.

I'll do it for the break. Everybody. Thanks again for the filth coming up next is Is number six


But you literally finished and sat down on the benches at the finish line and waited for your friends to finish We go everyone. How you doing today? Okay? The hay is Almost in the barn the HAY is almost in the barn, but not quite yet. Alright, we're not done working quite yet So remember volume of running so how many miles or kilometers? I'm running per week is coming down and the intensity of the workouts is going up This is how I taper. This is how I sharpen before a peak race. So today's workout That's right. I'm gonna warm up in the hoca rincans haven't worn these in a while three miles to a grass soccer field It's actually I have five soccer fields stacked together and around all the soccer fields is one kilometer So then I'm gonna put on my cross-country spikes That's right some not the lightest cross-country spikes out there on the market But I'm glad I have them for a workout just like today on grass And so what I'm gonna do warm up strides stretch a few more strides and then Five by one K with 90 seconds rest in between each K and don't I'm not going all out on these K's It's more for yes I do want to go a little anaerobic not too much just a little bit probably on the third and the fourth one I'll use the first two to the kind of warm up a little bit third and fourth a little higher And then the fifth one just kind of finish it off nice and smooth But the key for today is the turnover. I want to get those legs moving make sure they're ready to Respond on Saturday. Okay that they have that turnover to go. So that's the goal. All right, so let's do this I'm trying to think I feel like there was something else. I was gonna say but I can't think of it right now Let's go. Let's go. Come on. Let's do this made it to the park Or the soccer fields I should say there are some games going on even a cricket game But I think I can work around it are gonna take the vest off finish the warm up with another half mile And then the strides and now rock and roll time. All right, let's do this That put the spikes on soon to down three to go Feeling good right around 525 30 pace for the K's as far as per mile. Mmm. All right.  So obviously it's a little difficult to film my own workout. So I didn't get too many shots Someday, I'll have a little more a little more film and help on the workouts just to really engage with you as far as how How I'm feeling during the workout. So I Glanced so my watch is set to miles not to kilometers But I glanced down and I was ranging between 530 a mile and 510 a mile right where I wanted to be nothing crazy But getting the turnover going and what's nice is that in the in the race the pike speak of scent I wouldn't expect I don't think I'll go under six minute pace at any point in the race for really So I feel like my legs are ready to do that and that was good and what else I think that's it all right off to the gym and stretching rolling pool recovery rest rest and Back from the pool and decided not to do any filming in the rec center today I fully realized that you guys can only watch me stretch with that machine so many times or kick my legs in the pool so many times So I didn't do any filming, but it's it's amazing and yes It is part of the sharpening process. So we're entering into the last week of the taper So tonight in the studio I'm gonna talk to you about sharpening what I do to make sure my legs are as fresh as possible You know the fitness is basically there. I'm gonna talk one more. I'm gonna talk more tomorrow about Well, I'll just let you come back tomorrow to see what I'm gonna do for basically my last workout But the fitness is there now. It's really really time to freshen up aka sharp in those legs So let's go here in the carports. I'm gonna roll out and then really I'm gonna pull out some mom The what is it called the hold on that's right I couldn't really think of the name the deep blue rub and just rub my legs out. All right Just start working out any last and I know we still got like six days, but any last kinks Soreness tiredness. It's time to really really freshen up. So I'm excited. All right, let's do this First gonna start with the normal foam roller this guy right there And now we are in the final week of my three week taper You know how I love a three week taper. So this is it. This is where we freshen up This is where we sharpen and that's what we're gonna talk about right now I've got three points for you for how I really go from pretty high volume pretty like high volume high vertical And okay quick side note in the K repeats today on the grass at 520 about 520 pace in the middle as far as an average I was really happy that I was not getting ready to race a marathon on Saturday on the roads because my legs they are in like third gear right now for a marathon I need to be in fifth gear, but right now my legs are in third gear Which is what I need for climbing meaning more torque more strength not as much turnover I want a little bit of turnover, but not as much turnover. So anyway, the pace felt fine today But I could just tell like oh man, I'm not ready for a road marathon right now. That's where the sharpening Leading into a faster effort is really really really really critical And now what are my three points that I want to share for what I like to do to sharpen? Which is a little different than tapering tapering is cutting volume Freshening up but sharpening is where you really get those legs Like perf as perfect as possible and it's not always it's not always gonna happen. Just accept that right now and Life happens right okay, so number one is Rest as much as possible, but we all work right and you guys are busy and you've got family You've got soccer practice to go to it life is like we're not professional runners here So number one is rest as much as possible meaning Don't go. This is my recommendation. Don't mow your yard Two days or even three days before a peak race, especially if you're pushing a lawn mower for two hours Like that would be one way to reduce the stress on your legs leading into a peak race That's point number one rest as much as possible number two Which I just got done doing outside the studio Massage stretch and I'm gonna add one other point Loosen up as much as possible as simple as this shaking your legs. I'm doing it right now standing here Just like loosey-goosey just making sure those legs are loose and mine are not like mine are not perfect yet I've got you know five days to go to just make sure they're nice and loose and then all the kinks are worked out So that's point number two massage stretch and just loosen up and it whatever it's like pool I've already mentioned that so that's point number two for sharpening Okay, and point number three last one for arriving on the starting line What I do the last week leading into that peak race is here it is snap snap snappy. What do I mean? strides form drills and Mentally sharp strides form drills and mentally sharp So and I'm gonna hone in on one area of the lower legs or the legs in general is the knee So I really like to make sure that's why I love butt kickers where you kick your your feet up to your butt Just to make sure that you are mentally in charge of your legs Meaning you are as snappy as possible so that you and you know how I'm always repeating to myself on the runs What do I say? I say eyes up Pump your arms and quick feet eyes up Pump your arms and quick feet and part of that quick feet is snappy leg is snappy legs But especially in the knee just making sure you're it's like those fast twitch muscles just boom boom boom boom boom boom boom So anyway, that is point number three for sharpening leading into the peak race I want to be snap snap snappy, which will naturally happen as your volume comes down All right, okay sharp keyword question of the day. Did you race this weekend? If so, how did you do by the way the Leadville 100 happened this week? I saw a couple people in D'Amore global running. I did the race congratulations. It's a hundred mile race here in Colorado I did not go film it again I just needed to chill out and rest this weekend because the pike speaks so I did not go film it But I wanted to but I wanted to okay two vlogs at the end here One on the left is my most recent discussion on tapering and the one on the right is my most recent race the Jackson Hole Race up in Wyoming that I did too. I'm just gonna finish out even though I don't know what's going on with these lights these batteries. All right, I love you guys Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching. See beauty work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow


We see a lot of things with electric motors but what I haven't seen before is an electric motor for a powerboat. So what we're in the Kaihe booth here with Christian Allier to talk about the first multifunction electric outboard motor and that's a crazy concept. We're going to describe this but tell us first what are you building here? First of all we wanted something pure and electric. It was the first idea. We wanted to participate in decarbonisation. So we created, we designed and created an electric motor for boats, 100% electric, 100% with a new generation of battery. It's a eco-friendly battery, it means I changed my words. That's good. Let me describe this for the audience while we're talking. This looks like a little white torpedo. It's really cool looking. He's taking the nose cone off of it. Go ahead and pull it out. The best shape is the torpedo. Of course. Of course. It's aerodynamic. And when I talk about electric it's no odour, no carbon reject and our battery is a new generation one. That means you can repair it and you can recycle it. For example this prototype uses absolutely single life cells, only single life cells. Which is very important for the recyclability. Oh, gotcha. And we spoke about multifunction because we first started by a boat motor. You can switch immediately in a few seconds in snorkeling under water scooter. Let me describe this so he's got what looks like a more traditional, it's a torpedo with a propeller on the end. And then it's the same unit but now it's got handles on it and a GoPro mount so you can be snorkeling and pulling you forward. You shift it immediately in under water scooter and you can do the same with this one. All right. You hold this here. This is the third one. So this is the same unit I'm holding another torpedo, it's pretty heavy but it's got a mount on it. What is that for? 9.9 pounds. I'm just really weak. So what's this mount? So we have the traditional motor for the boat, electric motor, the scooter and what is the third use? For stand-up parallel kayak. Okay. I might be able to stay up on something if it was actually moving forward with a motor on it. Yeah. That might work. Okay, so he's going to actually turn it on for the video audience here. Yeah. Let's turn it on. Oh, wow. That's pretty quiet. Yeah, that's quiet. No order. No noise. That's right. No gas. That's awesome. Yeah, it's cool. All right. It's getting heavy Christian. I got to set this down. Turn it off there. Okay. Make it stop. Make it stop. Oh, there we go. There, I got the audio on the right place. Okay, so this is really cool. So the single unit can do this.  Yeah, it depends on the use and on the craft. For example, on the classic boat, you can use it for one hour. We prefer saying one hour. It's one hour and a half, but one hour with the classic boat, three hours and five... Three hours as a snorkeling scooter. Snorkeling scooter and six hours more with tender paddle and kayak. Oh, very, very cool. So when is this going to be available in the United States? May, May 24. Oh, May 2024. And what's your price point on this? 1,500 boxes. Dollars. That's actually not bad for this. This is really cool. I mean, you could get a couple of those on a powerboat, right? Could you do two of these, two of the electric motors? Two? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Add up two. Go faster. Go faster and longer. All right. And what is the website to find the Cahé? Cahé.com. Cahé.com. Actually, you said another name last time. Cahénautik.com. Cahénautik.com. We will definitely write this down and have it in the notes below. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Thank you.


We'll start with the marketplace growth and then the end user or the benefits to society with the storage. The storage is the linchpin for cloud. The growth strategies that you guys have is open. Talk about the openness specifically and then how are you guys going to grow in the marketplace? Obviously through the partnerships. Any changes there? Any things in the future around these new demands? You know, if I can just answer the question in the general terms, how do people or how do we think we can grow this business? A lot of it's market share. We believe that we're gaining on average 250 new accounts per quarter. That's an astonishing number when you think about people are adopting the virtualization message. I think we're just in that steepness of, you know, virtualization in the storage. The other one is when you think about me as a CEO for this company, we plan to move into new markets. Think of what's being offloaded from the application market search. That's a huge market, right? Discovery, repurposing, all those content surface, personalization, governance. All this is going to move into this. And if we start attaching what we're doing in Hitachi data systems with our vertical businesses in Hitachi, we do the video surveillance for the city of New York. We have to do facial recognition. The data, the discovery, the searching, all that has to come together. Same with our medical business. It's a $10 billion medical business. The ability to compare MRIs, to effectively search and discover that data and make it resonant for, you know, the analytics.

All right, so perpetrators welcome on back continuing along our Monday, November 7th shortly after 2 30 p.m. Eastern time It's been a fun day hasn't it been welcome on back here for our afternoon meeting for those of us still sticking with us here Just give me a quick sound check. Let me know that you can hear me loud and clear ended up seeing the stock Dwhack, I mean it took a little while But it certainly has paid off great to see John and Warren and Andre joining us right now Ron and Ray and Roger at the Rs there and Lewis and Craig sound good from him perfect All right, there we go and great to see Marie great to see any of our new trial members Just joining us as a whole and great to see all this back on social media Facebook live and YouTube otherwise folks I'll tell you what Anyone jump into Dwhack earlier today Is anyone still in Dwhack right now for all this here in the chat board? Just let me know briefly what your current status is with this trade And then we'll go from there pretty much But man this stock has ended up making for a giant run across the afternoon obviously at the highs right now Breaking above my trend line there and starting to run up towards 29 So, you know this stock right away I'll put on our watch list for the afternoon just a runner moving on up pretty nicely here now That's not to say that this is like a safe level one stock In terms of how do we and in terms of how we categorize these stocks folks for any of our trial members or new students like Marie or Craig or you know, whomever Keep in mind that we look to teach you how to follow stocks that have much more Liquidity than this right now a stock that is a lot safer for you to focus on iceberg orders It's great to see this, you know Dwhacking moving up really well, and I have hopes to see this continue to squeeze up higher into the clothes If you didn't get your hands on this that is a okay We catch a runner like this pretty much once a day multiple times a week at least But as a new student though, if you didn't get your hands in on this thing That's all right because what you should be doing is Studying why this made the exact move that it ended up making You know for you to go back on the order book or at least to go back on the charts and see Well, what levels did this stock have, you know, why did this make the explosive pop here at this time? Now for Alex and Warren, Karen, Roger, Matt, you know tomorrow's Tuesday. What do we have going on tomorrow folks? Tomorrow morning keep in mind. What do we have going on as is every Tuesday? What do we got? Warren says voting not every Tuesday. Do we have voting not every Tuesday? Do we have elections fair point? I kind of walked into that I reckon myself But every Tuesday including tomorrow. I got a little competition at least with voting, right? But we got traders talk tomorrow our weekly web our weekly workshop Conducted right here inside the cybergroup trading room So tomorrow for Scott, Karen, Carol, Roger, Warren, Matt and all of us here live I will go over this trade for you folks from head to toe I got a bunch of different lines on my chart horizontal lines trend lines for those of us that were in the room earlier You saw me delete a couple of fib levels up earlier I will go over this thing from head to toe from a to z everything else in between Tomorrow in our traders talk workshop for all of a sudden social media Facebook live YouTube If you wanted to join us just go right down to the link on the yellow banner below the stream to get yourself started But I got to say for myself. This was like a home run Absolutely to start the week off, you know, I normally wouldn't trade a stock as ill-liquid as this was from before It's not the price that threatens me It's just the lack of liquidity. So it was fortunate timing where once this broke over a key level It led to a really nice run and still has I left a little money on the table I got out recently as it was making the the the retracement back up towards this trend line here But with that said though a couple of us jumped in earlier want to give them a big shout out They just wrote to us just a moment ago On the warrants side will jump to that in a bid Dwhack has warrants So one of our new members Matt in from six on that trade excellent Alex in right now still in from 24 87. I know a couple of us jumped in and out on a scalp earlier I believe Ray and a couple of others. I know Roger jumped in and out just a moment ago He posted in from 2766 out at 2867 that is a slick exit if anything for as much as this runs up Especially in as fast time as it does you got to wonder when is this going to begin to pull back or head fake or whatnot So I took my money and ran a little earlier. I Missed out on this last little pop-up, but for right now. We'll put this on our list We'll see if this can make the you know, ultimate pop higher into the market close Whoo from Matt in on this Dwhack from six Dwhack W warrants So, you know, it will be up more percentage wise, but this is even less liquid I would not recommend trading the warrants like just truth be told it's cheaper granted But it's even less liquid than just the regular equity So any small slip on the equity and if that gets halted this will get halted to on the way down So now that's where you got to be careful with that in mind though I mean, you know, we're gonna follow Dwhack. There is another stock that is affiliated with this You know conglomerate, you know, Trump-based companies, you know with that fun PHUN This one took a little while for it to make its big pop But similar to Dwhack it ended up making that squeeze heading into the early to mid-afternoon The fund trade breaking above resistance roughly off of 142 and then from that point ended up taking off pretty nicely Alright, so with that in mind, I think we'll just focus on Dwhack for right now I guess I'll slip fun on from while I'm at it All right, let's go from top to bottom Otherwise though folks and we'll see what else we could put on our list. We did really well from the morning though You know normally before elections and you know after elections you're gonna see a lot happen But before elections you often don't see as much with as volatile of a market as we've had the last However many weeks and months, you know, we ended up seeing the spy make a nice move up Just right now at this point heading into this meeting So there could be some sideless stocks trying to make that pop with the market GCT at least to begin. This is still on the top percent gainer side here It ended up making a nice run for us earlier this morning shortly after the market opened up Ended up bouncing back up ended up breaking back above resistance historical level off of 645 650 Right now though, I feel like the volume is really waned off on this trade. It's not like looking too great right now So I'm gonna pass on the stock. It's like normally a super low volume trade. That's a complete gamble So, you know, this could have been even more dangerous compared to d-wack even but you just don't want to be stuck watching this at this point All right, we'll keep it going here. Oh, yes. I only want to show this Looks flat, but I want to show this because it's a buyout anytime. There's a real buyout You know, it will move up and down maybe a couple pennies across the hour But it doesn't make any respectable move for us to capitalize on so the second we saw the news out on this trade It's like, all right, let's skip over it. Oh Stock that we're not gonna skip over any longer. I mean, I guess we skipped over it earlier I don't think we had called out this a rqq But again, though very thinly traded. I'm not a fan of that Just how thin the orders are in the bid in the ask, you know For a whole MO or for a whole mantra here is to follow the big money file the smart money And you know, there's like no smart money or big money out there. Then what's the point of following the stock, right? All right, so alongside Dwhack, we had our eyes Firmly set on veeru from earlier today. I have a couple of different lines here including a fib extension So let me delete that that actually ended up working out really well right off of 1560 ended up breaking above there heading into the late morning But it failed to really continue to run higher So that was a good time to take profits on the veeru as it made the lower high and you know break break back below that 1560 you know easy to say but that actually was a pretty good short afterwards as a reversal But I didn't really you know focus on that at the time, you know, I'm not going to try and short this as it's running up So, you know in hindsight, it could have been a nice short on the flips on the other way around But yeah for the close here, it's not really trading enough volume compared to the morning We'll definitely keep this on our radar going into tomorrow and this week You know, it's a stock that we did really well on from April and August of this year So we definitely like this stock, but not a whole lot of action going on right now. All right, that leads me to ACMR It's you know, I guess at the highs, right? But it's not really trading a lot of volume per minute So I'm just gonna keep it moving keep it going FNKO Wow Funko with another big dead cap bounce today, huh? Geez this thing ended up making a great move Friday morning. I know Fausto talked about that in the morning meeting But I completely overlooked this. I didn't notice this, you know moving up until literally right now I'm sure that Richard called it out inside the inside the chapboard But this is on it on the way up towards 10 10 dollar 10 dollar resistance you would expect that to be a key level Although there's not as much of an order currently showing on the ask right now I would still expect 10 here to be a key a key level So Funko will put back on our list here. What why not? Skipped over Tupperware accidentally My apologies Tupperware. I'm gonna jump to you Well, I'm happy I said I didn't skip over this thing Geez Tupperware ended up making a nice pop from earlier making a similar dead cap balance today at least You know alongside the Funko but back from last week it dropped off and you know got crushed and You know didn't really make as good of a move up until today So, you know, it's holding around that five level and if anything even if it does break back above five Here you got a 10 11,000 share order on the ask at 510 It doesn't look as you know sharp going up Funko I feel looks a little bit stronger for comparing the two you tell me But I'll keep Tupperware on the side. Maybe come back to that at the end AFMD SLNA got a couple of other stocks that we saw at least make a move up from the morning You know markets at the highs. There's definitely a lot more. That's up percentage wise number 50s up like it'll 11 and a half percent Son I forgot that we even traded this thing from earlier today as soon as the market opened up This led to a big pop. So man, it's actually been a really good day so far to kick this week off All right, so we're gonna hop over to the loser side here next folks But there's definitely definitely a lot more that's up percentage wise So if there is anything that looks good from your side your side list or anything that you're looking at Type it in the chat board. Definitely. Let me know early Verve down Hold up. I'm sorry. I kind of just caught myself here You know, I skipped over Huddy because it was hard to borrow and we traded that back from you know Yes, Friday last week. So I kind of just skipped over this at first This is down 90 point six percent. What the heck happened here.  Is this a like a?  You're getting like an honest live reaction all right, so Huddy shares nosedive after the pricing of a 25 million dollar equity offering amid the volatility Geez, well, this is exactly where we were saying. We're not gonna, you know swing trade this stock folks We said that at the end of last week. We said that for a stock that pumps up like this one day It often makes the percent losers list the next All right, fine If it doesn't make the percent losers list the next day It's gonna make it the day after that trust me and this is certainly a proponent of that. So Holy smokes didn't even realize down 90% today All right, Verve. Well, at least the stock that's tradable and VER V. It's pretty thinly traded if anything But just now beginning to snap back down here towards 22. So as a short I don't mind slipping this on our main list, but again similar to Dwhack You got a trade really small shares, you know for the trade I had on Dwhack I was doing it on a much much smaller share account compared to my, you know, full-size whatever and even as an expensive More expensive stock, you know, 20 to 30 dollars. You want to lower the share count traditionally But you know, even with how ill liquid disorder book is that's the main reason All right, RBA not a whole lot happening there Carvana also got smacked around from this morning actually got halted on the way down here and squeezed back up nice dead Cat bounce after from seven roughly You know, it is short of all my platform So meaning it is tradable should this drop off here from the 750 very liquid stock You know what? I don't mind slipping this just on the back end of our list. Why not? I mean if it ends up holding here and potentially pumping up then you can lead to another squeeze perhaps up towards eight But otherwise VWAP and 750 is a key level here together You know, if it holds back under the VWAP, I'd be looking for another drop off Familiar name Jamiah Jumiah Ended up seeing this drop off earlier today.  I think Palantir I think is one of them PLTR. I may have skipped over them actually. There we go down over 11% Dropped off really nicely from this morning I don't think the stocks at all time lows yet because coming off its IPO is like a four or five dollar stock actually so You know trying to squeeze up a little bit here, but I'm gonna pass on Palantir for the afternoon I'm definitely gonna keep this in mind though for like the mornings going into tomorrow and the rest of the week And in the morning session at least We'll follow up with Palantir And Kronos also coming off bad earnings, but $2 stock and not gonna really have much interest in shorting that really Alright folks. So here we go Let me know if there's anything else up down left right more than that 5% that I look for just from the Trading room or from social media Facebook live YouTube. Definitely. Let me know Go back to Tupperware. I think I said Yeah, nothing else from my Benzinga screen. That's for sure. So I'll tell you, you know It goes back to what I had said previously the markets are pushing up You know, we can check out some sideless stocks before we finish but before elections I feel like there could be some hesitation in general outside of this general market push that we're getting So if there is something really making a strong run right now, let me know But doesn't shock me if we have a slower close outside of what we already have on our main list Do I follow btu? Yeah, we do I day-to-day it's a sideless stock normally meaning it's like really tradable every day pretty much And right now it's actually trying to snap back up towards the highs. So good call here matt Yeah, I forgot about this one actually btu peabody Vrna, I think maybe meant c Vna. Audrey Nah, this thing's not doing anything right now But I do like btu though. That was a pretty good call. Uh, also, let's check out oxy while we're at it I mean more expensive mind you but you know continuing to push back up I feel like if btu's moving up oxy got to make a somewhat similar push This is getting closer to all-time highs again, right back from late august. It was off 77 13 We're at 76 right now. We're damn close So doesn't shock me if we have oxy on our like day trading watch list going into this week Uh, you know, it's been a great swing trade for you know, however long it's been, right? But you know outside of that I'm sure that we'll focus on this as a day trade again It's just a little more expensive, you know, it's approaching big resistance here actually off 76 But in terms of the energy stocks and oil energy stocks of that nature I like the btu trade more like like from what matt wrote All right, folks. So I think that we're going to finish up here for right now Hey, just keep in mind later on today I'm going to repost that link that richard posted previously inside our chat board The same goes for all of some social media as well though. Hey, if you have any questions, let us know But actually later on today Whoops, that's not the right link there. We got to get that reposted there But we're going to have a link coming up later on inside our live trading room We're going to look to have that post on our social feeds for a 4 p.m Workshop with Fausto basically detailing some of the big moves that we've caught from today Taking us into the market close basically a little post market recap today with Fausto himself So again, we'll post that link inside the main chat board coming up inside the cyber group room We'll do that very soon. So just be on the lookout for that But otherwise though for all of a sudden social media Hey, we'll post that on youtube and and facebook live as well Folks, if you have any other questions, feel more than free to let me know Send it over to josh at ctu trading calm any questions that you have And again, we'll be back on the mic here coming up at 3 p.m Eastern time which will be on the mic coming up very shortly folks.

And welcome back everybody, this is theCUBE, SiliconANGLE's flagship TV production. We are here live at .com 2012, Splunk's annual user conference. We're at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. My name is Jeff Kelly, I'm from Wikibon.org and I'm joined by my co-host Jeff Frick from SiliconANGLE. Thank you Jeff, welcome back everyone. We're going wall-to-wall today again. I think we've had a lot of terrific guests. Again, we hope you'll jump on and join us on the journey, the data journey, hashtag data journey, jump on Twitter. Let us know what you think. So now we're happy to have another customer, which is always really fun to hear from customers how they're using the technology, how it's changed their business. So we'd like to introduce Bo Christensen from Ping Identity, welcome to theCUBE Bo. Thanks for having me. Glad to have you aboard. So before we jump in, for those people out there that don't know what Ping Identity is, want to give us a quick little overview over Ping Identity. Sure, Ping Identity does a single sign-on identity security for 800 of the world's largest companies worldwide. We've secure corporate identities of millions of employees around the world. We do mobile security, API security, and federated identity as well. Wow. So security just continues to be a hot topic here at the show and a big use of Splunk software to look for patterns and to do all kinds of things. So you're an active user. Can you tell us some of the things that you guys use Splunk for? Yeah, absolutely. So I'm in the on-demand operations group. We're part of a DevOps group, Site Reliability Engineer for that group. So we use it for operational intelligence, like most of the Splunk customers. We also use it for security. It's tied in directly to our security infrastructure. We also use it for business intelligence and our support personnel use it for diagnosing customer issues kind of in real time as well. Wow, so you've got it kind of spreading across a pretty broad swath of users. We do. We have multiple apps that are for the different groups and designed for the different groups. We also use it for all of our reporting. We're integrated directly with PagerDuty. So all the real-time messages and event types coming out of the system are piped directly to PagerDuty and come out to me. I think I'll call right now actually and my team as well. So we're seeing a common trend among adoption of customers is they download Splunk for free and they kind of get started in one use case usually in IT monitoring and infrastructure in the data center and then they expand throughout the organization. Does that model apply to you or did you have a different story? No, absolutely. It's the same for us. We downloaded it and we're going to use it originally to manage. We had hundreds of VMs across multiple data centers and had a problem of managing and auditing access to sensitive log files. So it started there. And from there we kind of discovered how much information we could pull out of this machine data in our first generation product and our second generation product we were able to then integrate a lot of the machine data in log files with Splunk and having Splunk in mind and our dashboards to be able to pull additional business metrics, event types, alerting everything that we could out of the system. Right. We even we talked a little bit before we came on and you were saying that it's really expanded beyond all the IT guys and the SPART technical guys into the business side of the house. So I'm always kind of curious, how did that happen? Kind of what was our breakthrough app? Was it a presentation of some executive that they said, wow, if you can do that, can you do this or somebody looking over for somebody's shoulder at lunch waiting to go to lunch and said, oh my gosh, what do you got going on there? Tell us a little bit about that. That happens too often now actually. It makes a lot of work for us. But yeah, so I think we originally built dashboards for my team and operations to see traffic and the amount of traffic per day and how it fluctuated during the week. And then we were then able to trend that data over time. And of course, like any good ops team have a weekly status report that goes out. And ours happens to go to the execs too. So we ended up starting to put some of that trending data into the executive reports. And then of course, more and more requests filter down about, oh, you can see that? Can you see this too? Can you tell me this about this customer and how are these connected? And what kind of more business intelligence can we get out of the system as well?  So they could just log in now and see for themselves who's active in the system, what changes are they making, should I call this guy, are these guys over there, user limit, that kind of thing. So you built them their own application then to go on top? Just so they'd stop bugging us. Awesome, that's great. I think that speaks to when even a CEO and an executive can use a tool. It's got to be pretty easy to do it. So just a little dig there at our CEO for us watching. I'm going to be careful. We both have ties on, Jeff. That's true. That's true. So you mentioned DevOps earlier. We've heard that a couple times yesterday actually during our broadcast. And so I'm wondering, what makes Flunk such a useful tool in that type of environment? We're seeing that more and more in this kind of agile, kind of lean production type of environment where you can't wait months to run something out of an update or a new application or whatever. And so that requires Ops and Dev to really work closely together. So talk a little bit about how you guys see DevOps. And specifically, how does Splunk fit into that? Because as I said a couple of times, Splunk seems to be in a name for that type of approach. Yeah, it's because you can share data so easily. So our interpretation, and there's a bunch of DevOps, is to actually integrate the engineering and the operations team together into scrum meetings, into planning and architecture. We have direct access to engineering resources, and they have direct access to operational needs through us. We're integrating the same ticketing system, GRO, all that stuff. And Splunk really enables us to give them access to our own operations dashboard. So we can say, hey guys, we just deployed a new cloud desktop four hours ago, and we saw an increased error rates. Here's what we're seeing. And they can have direct access to that data. They can see the stack traces. They can see untrapped errors coming through the system. If it's related to their piece of the code, they'll pretty much know right away and be able to tell us how to fix it or roll out a new fix for it in a really short period of time. So instead of us providing production access to developers in certain situations, it's most situations not a good idea. This is generally not a good idea. So Splunk allows them unfettered access to all the log files on production systems without giving them huge access to them. So just as an example, pick a processor or an incident. How many days would it have taken before? And how many people had to get touched along that in round numbers? And what's pick one now that you've got the systems in place that you have now? What does that look like? So I think prior to production deployment for us, we had a hack day inside Ping where we had all of our regional solutions architects use Ping One, our on-demand application for the first time and walk them through training. And the entire DevOps team was in the room with laptops. Which is how many people, tens of people, five people? No, our DevOps team is, yeah, at that point it was probably 15 people or so and then had the entire group of sales engineers basically in the room too. Not an inexpensive investment in human capital. Right, yeah, sure. But they were able to, the RSEs could say, you know, here's the error code that I just got. And we had engineers walking around and plugging that error code into Splunk and they were able to tell them right away, here's what you did wrong, or hey, we need to open a Jira ticket for that right away, right now. So that, just having our developers have access to, you know, Splunk as they're, you know, talking to sales engineers and the first actual users of the system was fantastic for us, I think. That's great. Yeah, can you contrast that to some of the tools you've probably used throughout your career and how we're really changing and how that ties into this whole big data movement and the whole idea of being more agile, being more user-friendly to the extent possible, to really be able to adapt quicker versus the kind of more static, more difficult to work with type of tools we've seen in the past? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, in the past, you know, you had a syslog search tool that you could use or you could have some guy logged into one machine and hope that everybody was hitting that machine. Splunk allows us to be far more distributed. We can have, you know, hundreds of nodes spread across multiple data center regions now, all in one place that you can see across all of them instead of, you know, bringing all that data down into a central logging server and then grepping stuff so you're blue in the face. Yeah. Great. Well, it sounds like it's been a terrific implementation. Absolutely. And a lot of ROI and are you seeing it now spun into being able to develop new stuff better, faster, and put those resources to work that may be before we're kind of chasing tales of things going so well? Absolutely. Our on-demand team operated with just two site reliability engineers for four years until the beginning of this year we added a third. So the operations team has been able to run really, really thin. And we've been able to get, you know, incredible alerts and tunely alerts and predictive alerts out of the system too. So yeah, we couldn't live without it at this point. And on the BIS site, on the executive reports, how far up have you gone? We've gone all the way up to the top. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Take it a little as a Splunk report. Andre loves to see you. Awesome. That's great. Well, that's great. So, you know, we're here at obviously.conf. So there's over 1,000 attendees. And we've heard a lot about the importance of the community around Splunk and helping each other kind of find new use cases and maybe reuse applications that were developed in one organization for another. Just what's your take? I mean, how important is the community environment around Splunk to what you're doing and how much does that help?  How does it work? Yeah, it's the community and Splunk base and the information that we've been able to get off that. Our biggest win with Splunk was designing our own apps and building our own apps. So we couldn't have done that without the applications that were already up there. You know, we pulled down a couple of them and pulled apart how they worked and how the menus operated. And because all the stuff's pretty open, it's just XML. You can go in and pretty easily figure it all out and maybe steal some colors here and there. We don't tell that. Save as. We like save as. Right? And we've been able to give back to and publishing our own, our on-premise app is Pink Federate. And a lot of our Pink Federate customers are also Splunk customers and been asking us, you know, do you guys have an app for this? Do you have an app for this? So we were finally able to give back and publish an app for them up on Splunk base too, which has been great. We've got a lot of happy customers. Great. That's interesting because I think, you know, we follow the big data movement pretty closely. And one thing that we're seeing, we're not seeing as much uptick and it's kind of the applications, especially out of the box applications from the vendor community. We're starting to see them from vendors like Splunk. But I also think really it's gonna depend a lot on and users who are building their own applications because, you know, after all, you want to make use of this data to, you know, for competitive advantage. So you don't necessarily want a shrink wrapped app that everybody else's using. So there's, you know, there's certain elements of building applications in big data scenarios. It's a little different than a traditional scenario. Yep. And customers finding different ways to use the application. You know, I think Tom was saying earlier, somebody like tracking elevators with it. Right. Yeah, right. They never would have thought of. Yeah. It could go anywhere. I can't recall the earlier guests, but we were talking about, you know, all the new different types of equipment and machines that are being equipped with sensors that you can't even think of right now.  So, you know, in some ways it's a little bit, a little bit scary, but it's really exciting when you think about all the opportunity. Absolutely. Yeah, very cool. Well, great, well, thanks for stopping by.  And, yeah, take me out. So anyway, great story, Bo. Thanks for joining us on theCUBE. We really appreciate it. So, again, we've got a few more guests lined up. We've been going wall-to-wall here at the Splunk Conf 2012 and we will be back in a minute with our next guest.


digital asset news to get top stories in cryptocurrency digital assets and bring them down to bite-sized pieces. Today we're gonna do a little education series and we're gonna update our firmware for our nano ledger. I know this seems very tedious and kind of a pain and sometimes it's actually kind of scary for some people but we're gonna walk you through it just to make sure that nothing goes wrong and it's actually perfect. So let's jump right in. Let's update the firmware and you'll know you'll need to update the firmware if you go to the menu for ledger live and if you're looking at portfolio account send receive manager you click on manager and I'll say firmware version 1.6.1 is available my firmware is outdated to 1.6.0 so yeah sure whatever so we're gonna update the firmware is gonna click on this and it's gonna tell us look to do this in case something screws up make sure you have your 24 word recovery phrase is written down recovery sheet which you should have at all times that thing is like gold so don't lose that that's super important right so I have that I'm gonna click on I have my recovery phrase and I'm gonna click on continue and it's gonna download and I'll just speed this up and you'll notice on your nano ledger it'll just say processing it'll be going down and now it's gonna say okay you need to verify this so you have to look at your actual nano ledger there's two buttons I'm using my old one it's not it's the S not the X so it's got buttons and well they both got buttons but these ones are a little bit old fashion I guess so we're gonna click on right button there version 1.6.1 yes identifier 104 yes 204 yes 304 404 and then perform the update is a little check mark there on the left hand side and when it gets to the check mark perform update you're gonna click both the buttons you're gonna put in your pin and you're gonna wait now it's gonna go as what's called a boot loader screen it's gonna say MCU updating please wait for the update to finish 100% this is where your heart starts to go up pounding on your chest because you're like I know this should work but you never know that's the whole reason for that your passphrase because if anything screws up I mean remember your cryptocurrency is an on nano ledger the only it holds is private keys so there's nothing physical there it's just a way to unlock things and to spend things or spend crypto currencies your assets so again you're gonna see processing for more updating and of course you got to reinstall the apps which sucks what are you gonna do you might see the pin code so you're gonna unlock that and you're gonna notice that on your ledger that all the apps for me I just have Bitcoin Ethereum XRP right now because on my other one the X I have all the other ones it's gonna have you reinstall the apps which is no big deal it's not like you've lost your cryptocurrency it's all there don't worry just reinstall the app so you can see it it's gonna ask you to click both buttons sure and it does it automatically Bitcoin Ethereum XRP fantastic I gotta tell you I can see why the uninitiated would be like would be pretty works out when I first did this when I was uninitiated I was like what the hell's going on you kind of get a little you know little lump in your throat like shoot there's a lot of money I mean some people have I mean let's be honest some people have hundreds of thousands even millions of dollars on their ledger now I think you should have them all in one ledger I think maybe if you have a million dollars maybe you could afford it by two three or five just saying but yeah I mean when you when you're going through all this because in the old days everything was sorted on a in the bank he got some like this you like shoot and make sure this is all good but just remember if you have your passphrase you're gonna be okay all right now apps installs assessment now into your accounts great fantastic so we're gonna click on manage my accounts so we all right Bitcoin Ethereum chain link Bitcoin cash flow stuff right all right let's start with Ethereum we'll click on continue this is a opening Ethereum app on your device so on my device right now I have three things loaded I have Ethereum XRP and Bitcoin so I'm going to find Ethereum double-click it says applications ready sometimes you just got to wait I remember all this is doing is allowing ledger live to actually view it that's all it's doing it's not downloading the money again or downloading the cryptocurrency assets it's already there it's just so you can actually see it interface with it and all that good stuff and look we've got them all installed everything's good to go so we check our portfolio here we are and everything's good now I have the little eyeball the discrete mode so you can't see them all but just so just so you know I have multiple nano ledgers because I just have this fear at some point I'm gonna lose something so just to back myself up I got like four of these things and I just want to make sure that when the bull run comes I'm totally correct I'm okay with spending you know 59 bucks on an X or 100 bucks on an S or I'm probably swept swap those two prices but it's okay I just want to make sure that I'm taking care of later on it's gonna be alright as long as I have everything safe so right now we're good to go we've updated everything if we go back to manager it does say farmers up firmwares up to date 1.611 now we can go on with everything we do
