Just thank you. Thank you for just rocking with Team Keep It Clean man. I appreciate you guys having respect for each other in the comment section even when you disagree. I just I appreciate everything man and it goes a long way. So let's get into these questions. First question came from my boy Yazz. He said, hey man I got some questions for you. Hope you and your family are well. Love the videos and thank you. So I appreciate it man. What do you think of this? If we trade Matthew Joudon for a second or third round pick so we can get rid of his contract and we save 15 to 17.8 mil. They could do that. I think now I definitely think if they did that then I definitely think they would get your Davion Clowney. I don't think there would be any question at all. I would at this point of the year I would see them trading for I could see them trading him for maybe for Draft Capital but maybe for a player. But if they did just get rid of him outright they just traded him for a draft pick and that was it. Then I think they would definitely get your Davion Clowney like for sure and if not him then Clay Matthews. And he said too what if we trade him oh okay I should I should have kept reader. He said what if we trade him and then sign Clowney what are your thoughts about it? Okay well they go there they go or there they went. And then he said what if we oh my goodness I should have read his I should have read it because everything that he put that's what I just said. He said what if we sign Matthews after we trade Joudon to save five to ten million dollars. It goes. And then he said what if we trade Joudon and Gusta Bus for a second or third round pick in the next year's draft. What are your thoughts about that? I mean still the same. For us I can see them trading him for he could be in a trade for a player mix. If they got somebody they could include Gus to get somebody. And I mean the same with Matt Joudon. I think with Matt Joudon it's a less of a chance that it's a player for player trade. But I mean you never know. And then he said should the Ravens trade Willie Snead and save money or should we just keep him on the roster and pay him. What are your thoughts about oh with trading Willie Snead I think he would be he would have a dead money chart because I believe y'all told me his his salary is all guaranteed. It's like five point six meals something like that. But it would be dead money. Just the whole thing would be dead money if he was traded or cut. You never know but I don't think he's going anywhere. And then he said what are your thoughts about oh should the Ravens re-sign Marlon Humphrey to a long time deal before his free agency. Of course. Of course. Of course because if they don't then he's gone. He will be out of there. He would be out of there. Like because I mean you could say oh well we're just loyalty. No he's trying to get paid man. He trying to get paid. So if it ended up being a bidding war whatever well maybe by that time the Ravens will be able to compete with some people. But Marlon Humphrey. No yeah they got to get that done ahead of time man. So that that is for sure. Next question came from boy Anthony.  So please call me out a few things. So but do you think it's possible to Ravens throw away to play off game against the Titans on purpose. Ravens as a team are still building and I could see that maybe the Ravens wanted to be in the Super Bowl with an even more complete team. If you want to be in a Super Bowl you need to be in a Super Bowl with you need to try to be in a Super Bowl with any team that you've got. Of course you want to build the team to the best of your abilities but it wouldn't make any sense for you to throw away a game just because you want to make your team even better the following year.  They should have been there last year but it's all good. We'll get you past as long as you get there this year and win. Next question came from a boy Juan Gotti. He said what's up in Raven. Hope you and the family are doing well. Here's my question with Lamar Jackson saying he'll run less this year. Do you think that's because he's worried about proving people wrong.  Well do you think he just genuinely wants to turn into a pocket passer and he's only one. He only wants to have to run when he needs to. There's always been it's your boy wine Gotti and the hashtag saying keep it clean and he said hashtag hail to the Redskins. I think you're just saying that. I think you're saying that to say what to say what some people want to hear because literally anything that whatever he would have said people would have took it ran with it and try to turn into something that it wasn't try to make it negative or something like that. If he would have said oh OK like he did say I plan on running less this year. He's lying. Oh he's he's he's he's ain't going to do that. If he would have been straight up like I'm just going to run as much as I ran last year. He's going to get hurt. He's going to get hurt. If he would have said he's like maybe I just let it go game by game. And it just all depends on the situation that's presented in front of me. Oh man.  He's not even going to look for any any receivers anything down the field. No matter what he said it would have been a loose lose form depending on the crowd. So I didn't really take much by it. I just want him to just continue to play his game. Don't try to change it for anybody and just continue to be successful. Next question came from a guy gills. He said what's up engraving. Keep up the good work bro. Appreciate it man. He said my question is could you see all Ravens grabbing Josh Gordon for the low on a one year proven deal and do you think he would be a better fit or Antonio Brown. Well Josh Gordon he would have to be in the right but I mean both of them will have to be in the right mental mental state. I think Josh Gordon if he can get right and is he even eligible to play. Was he. No I think he is. I think he might have just stepped away from the game actually. I think he could come in and do pretty good here. Because his issues have all been like they've been mental issues but they've been just we related to and they did obviously change the rules with all that in the new CBA or whatever. But I think both of them could come in and do work. Both of them will make the receiver room that much better. Both of them could definitely they could definitely do some things man. So I think either one would be a good fit as far as on the football field. But yeah both of them definitely have some stuff off the field. They got to take care of and then they'll take care of it. They'll be fine. But on the football field I really don't think you go wrong with either one. Next question came from boy Adam. He said I recently read we are down to about 11.2 million cap space which is just enough to sign out rookie draft class. It was explained if somehow they can sign drew on it would open up about five mil more in cap space. So that would mean sign them to an extension depending on the extension and how much it would be and whatnot. So after seeing the DC Jackson to our receivers DuVernay who has a speed and pro shade has the hands. Now read that DuVernay play both slot and outside in college. I believe if he was to move outside it will create a speed duo threat with Hollywood. Pro shade has the hands where I believe he'll probably take over the slot sometime during the season. He's also a punt return and kick return. So with these moves I'm not sure. Oh the Anthony Thomas and Chris Moore make the team being on one year deals. I see Huntley and McSawley battle for the backup QB spot with RG 3 in the 30s with one year to mill left might be on his way out the door. What do you think. I recently saw a report that said Robbins and Ezekiel Elliott. Oh oh Dobbins Dobbins and Ezekiel Elliott. He put Robbins. Now he said Dobbins and Ezekiel Elliott last year in college stats were identical. Zeke with 280 carries. Eighteen hundred yards 23 touchdowns. Dobbins with 300 carries 2,000 yards and 23 touchdowns. Thanks and take care. I appreciate it. So with the Anthony Thomas and Chris Moore. No I don't think that even with them resigning I never thought that they were safe. I just thought that the Ravens signed them because they wanted to head into the draft with less pressure because you never want to and I mean some situations happen that you just can't get out of but you want to go into the draft with as little pressure on your team as possible so you truly can draft best player available and you don't have to be pressing and pushing for need need need need. Of course you do need stuff but you don't want your draft to be solely based off need need need need need. Because that can put even more pressure on you to make some some poor decisions and whatnot and and to make some bad choices and whatnot. So that's what the Ravens did with those. They were like hey we got some guys that can be our return guys and they receive us as well. So we got them on our roster right now they come in and compete and then they could push the guys that we draft as rookies. So I yeah I don't think it's a guarantee that either one or two makes a roster but um yeah like I said I think they were just safe bets for the Ravens for now. Next question came from my boy John. He said greetings from Charm City. Appreciate you in the work you put in on your channel. I watch all your videos, question from subscribers are my favorite. Appreciate that John. Thank you man. He said who do you think are the Dark Horse defensive candidates for breakout players of the year. I'm interested to see the progression of Jason Ferguson and Jalen Ferguson and Bowser. I'm hoping one of them can take the next step this season. I'm really intrigued by Justin Madibike's tape speed and physicality. Do you think we'll see enough do you think he'll see enough playing time. Our D-Line is stacked with Campbell, Wolf, Williams, Mack, Ellis and Ward. Also I'm really excited to see Chuck Clark's growth in the second year as a starter. Keep it clean and sending blessings to you and yours. I appreciate it man. Oh yeah and on the D-Line too. Can't forget about Pranel McPhee who they just brought back as well. I would say Ferguson just to see his consistency go up. And Bowser too. Bowser. I feel like he's asleep but he and he's often somebody that a lot of times I even forget about. Not forget about that he's on a team but just like forget that hey he can make an impact too man. He can make an impact too because we obviously get so caught up in talking about Jude on Jude on Jude on with everything going on with him. That Bowser just sitting in the background like hey I'm in my last year on a deal and I got to show out too. So I will say Jalen Ferguson and Bowser. Next question came from Nicholas. He said what's up in Raven. I'm just wondering what you thought about the draft and who your favorite player was. My favorite player was JK Dobbins and first I didn't understand why the Ravens drafted him because I think they're set at running back and they didn't need to draft one until next year but then I watched his tape and wow. He juke that as he's sitting so hard he spun him right around. He did a 360 and took it to the house. He's legit and hopefully the Ravens carry all four backs. I'm sure that they I'm sure they would but you never know. I wanted them to keep Kenna Dixon last year but they didn't. If you look at the draft as a whole the Ravens knocked this out the park. They got great value and filled needs while adding depth. There might not be any weaknesses on this team heading into the season. Keep up the good work dude. Appreciate it Nick. My favorite pick was Malik Harrison. Like I talk about with him he brings that boom to the middle and he's somebody that you're going to be able to possibly even rotate it inside and outside line back. He may be able to put in some work at outside linebacker do a little bit of pass rushing and whatnot and just really laid a wood man. That dude I'm super I like he's the the draft pick that I'm the most excited to see. This question came from my boy Boyce. He said ain't Ravens thanks for all your work and keep up keep the content coming. I appreciate it man. It's been a consistent bright spot for me in this strange time. My question is about Patrick Queen's tackling. In the film and highlights I watched the Queen. It looks like he has a tendency to wrestle and wrangle guys down using his arms and his momentum. This way of tackling is starkly different than most NFL linebackers I've seen. A guy like Malik Harrison who's a traditional dumper see we're just talking about him. It was it was my number one concern with Queen as a draft prospect. Do you think this style of tackling can transfer to the NFL or will it be corrected with coaching? I apologize for the long question but keep up the work and go Ravens. You know long question man. But yeah that's exactly what coaching is for. To they obviously saw something in him and they seen enough film from him to feel like he was worth the first round draft pick. But what do you do with the first round draft pick? Do you bring somebody in as a rookie and just continue to allow them to play that the way that they've been playing? Or do you bring them in and you try to enhance that game and take it to another level? And if you see any weaknesses that they may have the weaknesses obviously weren't weak enough for you to feel like they shouldn't be drafted and even shouldn't be drafted in the first round because you took them early with your first pick. But you work on those weaknesses. You correct them and over time they'll continue to get better and better and better. Hopefully he doesn't have to learn how to correct the weaknesses the hard way to where it's like hey they try to work on them with stuff and he'll oh no I've been doing it this way for a long time. No go ahead and work on it now because you don't want to be in the game and who's our first game of the season. The Browns you don't want to be trying to tackle Nick Chubb and then or you try to tackle one of their tight ends whether it be Hooper or David Najoku and then you try to wrestle them down and they're like get this dude off me man.  You don't want to learn the hard way but I'm sure they're gonna work on that. So that is not nothing that I think is a big concern. But Raven's coaching staff he's a linebacker so that's one of their specialties so he'll be fine. This question came from Boycatch 22k. He said hey Raven so I've been thinking about it for a while. The people that could be let go after the season and I always think about Brandon Williams. He has about a $14 million cap hit in 2020 and 2021. What do you think about this? Yeah that's something that we've been talking about for a little while now. I don't expect Brandon Williams to be with the Ravens after this season. When you look at the way that they've been drafting especially the Mata BK pick. You still got Daelyn Mac there too. When you look at what they've been drafting I think they just want to get more disruptive along the defensive line. Brandon Williams is good at what he does but he's very one-dimensional. He they have stopped the run, eat up blocks. There's no pass rushing there whatsoever so I think the Ravens are gonna want guys that are more multi-dimensional and Brandon Williams is not that. He's not a bad player at all. Not a bad play at all but for what he's getting paid I think the Ravens are gonna want to go in another direction. Next question came from a boy Kerry. He said the Crows after some trepidation came up big time. Queen and Harrison are gonna be like Lewis and Bowie. Mata BK is a violent hitter who two seasons of 10 tackles for losses plus five and a half sex. This is from a defensive tackle. Oof that's a good point. He said gonna provide a lot of pressure up the middle with Wolf and Campbell and the Frogs, Duvenay and Prochet both French named. Oh hey okay I like that. They don't drop passes and one is fast and the other one is blinding fast. Great job by the Costa. Grew a few great heads but worth the stress. Shout out to Kerry man we appreciated man. Next question came from boy Dave. He said what's good in Raven. Hope you in the family staying safe and having fun. A lot of teams had a good draft this year. The season should be fun whenever it starts. In your opinion which teams had a good draft and which teams had an okay draft. You don't have to go in the depth on it. Simple this team had a good draft or okay draft will do. Example the Baltimore Jets had a good draft in which teams can be sneaky good or surprise playoff teams. All right with draft recap on the Ravens they had a really good draft but I you know honestly I did not pay attention to anybody else's draft in detail like that. Nobody else's. I paid attention to the Bengals early early on if they were round one and two with Burrow of course I mean because that was all to talk about them are then T Higgins. So with the Bengals they are a team that I feel like could be sneaky good definitely next year. Maybe this season they got some growing pains to do but hey you never know. If Joe Burrow could come and light it up you never know but definitely next year I would say watch out for them Bengals because they'll have and they got they still got AJ Green. They got Tyler Boyd. They got T Higgins. They got Audentate. Joe Mixon. I'm not sure what they did at the tight end position but they obviously got to take care of the offensive line that's huge too that's very important because without an offensive line none of that other stuff matters. But yeah they they they did good. They the team is a they're in a good position man. They in a good position. Um they they're giving Joe Burrow like like uh and what I said when they drafted T Higgins a lot of teams they wait until a quarterback second year to really go all in on them with weapons around them. But they're doing that in Joe Burrow's first year. So I love that the Bengals did that. But and as far as sneaky teams this year I don't know if you I don't remember if you put sneaky teams doing post draft to just sneaky teams period. But as far as sneaky teams um I would say uh the Beals. I think the Beals they they could be really sneaky good man. All right next question came from my boy Fleur de Winsky. He said hey what's what's good bro is Fleur de Winsky hope you and yours are doing well doing this crazy time we living in. Few statements and a few questions you know how it goes lol. First statement revolution a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system. Racing class all these things have a lot to do with Lamar. I was talking to my friend the other day and he made me realize a lot of things. First off team keep it clean. We are family and I accept everybody. This is just a question of statement lol. I think race class and his revolutionist revolutionary style of play has a lot to do with the hate he receives. Let's be honest a lot of people at ESPN have already said it which has shocked me that they think a prototypical good QB is white about six four taller and about 250 pounds which is why people like Drew and Garcia and Wilson have always caught the short end of the stick no pun intended but Lamar is none of that he actually the complete opposite and it's crazy when QBs that fit that mold play everything that they do is right and they win no matter the state line and when they lose it's never their fault. Example when Brady wins it's OMG he's the greatest QB ever when he loses it's the defense played bad and he has no weapons. Lamar loses it's G's guys he had he has a lot of work to do even though he threw for three touchdowns 300 yards through the air and 70 on the ground. That's something that my friend made me realize and I never looked at it in that light before but he did say it's a lot older higher ups in the NFL and that's where the comments are coming from. So what do you think? This is something that I said with Lamar not being a traditional quarterback a lot of people do not like going away from what's traditional what's what they're used to. So with Lamar being the complete opposite of what they're used to then a lot of people when they don't like things being different. They don't like changing things I mean we as people we don't we don't like change people like things to stay the same. So when change comes that can sort of throw people off and be like whoa whoa whoa I didn't want that to change. I wanted to keep doing it how I was doing it. So with Lamar he's obviously a different type of quarterback and a lot of people just don't like that and that's it. And he said also to the class thing which always start when you think of Black QBs in the NFL they always throw Russell Wilson in the homes up there which is not wrong but they will never admit Lamar is better and I think it's because of a class type of thing. Bro let's be real Lamar is very urban. He the way he speaks and the way he walks and talks totally different from Russell Wilson in the homes don't knock to them because everybody comes from different places but I truly believe that's another reason why he catches so much fire also because he's not the type of person like them. Not to say he's a bad person but like I said he's urban from the way he dresses to where he talks. He doesn't get nearly enough praise as he should and this is not coming from Ravens fans hard this is coming from just watching sports. Overall stats what do you think about that do you think that that's the thing. Yeah that's part of it too. I mean again this is the same same answer as before. He's not the traditional quarterback so a lot of people can be turned off by things that they're not used to. A lot of people can be turned off by things that they are they may be naive to. So with with the quarterback it's just that Lamar is not everybody's cup of tea and that's just that's how it's always going to be. That's how it's always going to be. Is does it make it right. No but I mean it's it's just something that he's going to have to deal with his entire career and that's I mean that's just the way it is man unfortunately man. He's just different he's different than what a lot of people are used to and a lot of like I said earlier a lot of people just don't like things change and they don't like things being different. And then he said last but not least the Ravens revolution is really sickens me to see Lamar say he's going to run less because all I can think about is Randall Cunningham and how he said that and did it and sat in a pocket and got destroyed just to please others around him. He literally got his legs snapped in half and it said. So when none of Brady's wide receivers are open and he runs for 20 yards because nobody is around. It's always a small football player and genius by Brady but when Lamar is in the same situation as man he's going to have to learn how to use his arm. I will never get that for the life of me. If it's easy yards you're supposed to take it. If your wide receivers aren't open you throw it away or take off and Lamar does both of those things. That's like saying sheesh. Guys like Rogers uses his arm too much. He's going to have to run more. It doesn't make any sense. Now to Ovlasky or whatever his name is we all know that he was never an NFL MVP not to knock his IQ but man you put players that never played an NFL down in front of the NFL MVP. Not to mention one of the best NFL seasons ever is crazy. Now think back in my last two statements you see a trend it's people that say Lamar shouldn't have won the MVP last year which is crazy. His performance was one for the ages. I know you know engraving but just for those that don't know Lamar threw for 3100 yards 36 touchdowns ran for 1200 yards and seven touchdowns with a thousand yard Russia and Mark Ingram. He did all that was sitting out nine quarters and and five of those quarters were because they were blowing people out. So last year take away Russell's best five quarters and see what you're left with now even if even the year before with my homes he didn't even have a 1k Russia and he had all those weapons not to take anything away from him. But you take away his best five quarters and see what you left with. It's no comparison between him and anybody else. And like I said my home's weapons are crazy. Imagine if they switch players not to down none of the Ravens players but we all know it's different over there. And Lamar does all of this with the team he has. It's time for people to give him his props. And I just really hope he doesn't let the outside noise get to him because we all know he's a force. It's no way around that. Oh yeah and to add to that he did all of that with not being able to throw. He put not being able to throw in quotations. So I agree he's not bad for running back LOL. If a person that came throw can do all of that I wouldn't trade him for the world. And he said insert the 100 emoji. He said man sorry for taking up all your time but I really want to know why one of the best players in the NFL gets all this hate and stay safe out there. So again same thing man. It's it's always going to be like that. That's how it's always going to be for Lamar Jackson. And I've talked about this ever since he came on the scene. No matter what he does it's always going to be like that. Now as far as your comments about him running him saying that he's going to be running less this year I why okay yeah he might be but I think he may have just been saying that to just please the media whatever because I don't I don't think he's he shouldn't change his game. Like you said if there's 10 yards right there and nobody's open. Oh yeah take it take it. But his his game and I said this he's the most heavily criticized QB I've ever seen. And it's crazy. He could do all the right things. He could say all the right things. And is he the perfect quarterback? No. Does he still need improving some areas? Yeah of course. But the negativity the hate that he gets is it's crazy. It's crazy. And it could be for so many different reasons but that's how it's always going to be. Unfortunately for Lamar Jackson. And his last question was what do you think about JK Dobbins? And who do you think we are going to move? It looks like Gus Edwards unfortunately. Yeah this is what's looking like man. And he said also it's funny how they put Queen in the peanut jersey. It's ironic because they are the exact same player LOL. I don't know if I get that pick to be honest even down to the complexion and build they are the exact same. Fast undersized linebacker they thought it didn't work with peanut. I don't know how it's gonna work with Queen but I have high hopes as always. I mean we have different front so maybe this might work out. What do you think? And once again sorry for the long one but you know how I get LOL. Now it's all good man. I appreciate it and enjoyed it a lot man. But yeah that front makes a big difference and it can help it helps out everybody on every level man. That front it helps out the linebackers the defensive line they help out the linebackers and that can help out the cornerbackers that can help out the safe. It's it's a domino effect so that should um that's gonna play a big role this upcoming season. Next question came from my boy Josh. He said hope you and the family are good. Thanks for all the content and watch your videos every day. I appreciate it man. My question is out of all the rookies which ones do you think will make the 55 man roster? Oof. Oh that's a uh well the ones that they drafted. Um oh 55 man so that's active. Um if we just going by the ones that they drafted oh yeah he did say draft class. Okay okay. Um Oof. Boy I was scared for that one at first man because I'm like hold up is he talking about undrafted to anyway. So Patrick Queen yes um J.K. Dobbins. Yes. Um Justin Matibike. Yes Devon Duvenay. Yes Malik Harrison. Yes Tyree Phillips. Tyree Phillips and Ben Bredesen. Back to back. Pro Shado. Yes Gino Stone. Gino Stone. Yeah um I think Broderick Washington defensive lineman he'll be on a practice squad. Um and Ben Bredesen whether it's Tyree Phillips or Ben Bredesen. Oof third and fourth round picks. Um because I don't think they'll both make it. I'm gonna go with Bredesen on practice squad. Um so yeah just to recap Patrick Queen. J.K. Dobbins. Matibike. Devon Duvenay. Malik Harrison. Tyree Phillips. Um and James Pro Shado and Gino Stone. Next question came from a boy Darnell. He said what's up in Graven. Hope you and your family are doing well and it's craziness. We're doing good man. He said who's the more punishing runner in your opinion? Mike Allstad or Jamal Lewis. Also do you think Malik Harrison will be better than Kenny Young. As always thanks and thanks for your time and take care. So who's the more punishing runner in my opinion between Mike Allstad and Jamal Lewis. I say Jamal Lewis because Mike Allstad Jamal Lewis did it for a long period of time and he did it more consistently and I mean Mike Allstad was like whoa here comes Mike Allstad but Jamal Lewis was like oh here comes Jamal Lewis and for all these years he's still he's still coming through. But he yeah he was dangerous man because he just did I mean Mike Allstad was the same too he they just didn't care. They didn't care who you were. They didn't care. You try to go ahead with either one of them. No it's not a good decision man. You got to make some a lot of business decisions man. Imagine one of those two playing in today's NFL. Like I mean you see Derek Henry everything that he did especially once he got hot man imagine those two playing in today's NFL. When defenses they can't even tackle no more because they're not allowed to cause all the rules. Next question came from my boy Zay King. Shout out to my guy Zay King. He's super active man. I see him literally on every video every stream. So I appreciate it Zay King. So I appreciate it Zay. He said you all engraving. How you doing? Hopefully we'll be given hopefully well given the condition that the world is in. Are we doing good man? Hope you're doing good too. He said I saw the picture a B in the Ravens jersey and I did some thinking if Antonio Brown becomes a Raven do you see us potentially using Devin Duvenay as a return man and putting Pro Shea as a slot receiver. Do you also see us attempting to move Gino Stone to outside linebacker that partner. He definitely has a size and speed to do it. Sorry if this was long. Keep the fam safe and hashtag team keeper clean. That wasn't long at all man. Well I don't even see them signing a B especially with I mean and he sent this on May 2nd. So this was obviously before the early time this stuff came out. But I don't see us signing a B especially after all that. But for Duvenay I think they definitely going to get them on the field man. I think they definitely going to get them on the field whether it be in the slot having an outside receiver just mix it up man. Have them at both of those spots and Pro Shea same with him too. With Duvenay I think he'll get more opportunities in Pro Shea. But Pro Shea going to get his too now. But I think Pro Shea they'll have him as a punt returner. I think he'll be like a primary return man and then he'll get some chances on offense as well. Next question came from my boy Alex. He said Lamar haters keep saying Lamar will never win in the playoffs and he's a choker. But Peyton Manning lost his first three playoff games. I keep asking my friend about this who is a Jets fan and he does not like Lamar. Whenever I ask him he can never back up his claim. His haters are just dumb. What do you think about these types of people that talk about Lamar but they know the Ravens are good and just don't like them because they know Lamar will be successful. That's how it's going to be man. That's how it's going to be. People don't like Lamar they don't like Lamar. Well that's cool. I mean everybody's entitled to their own opinion. But that's how it's and I know a lot of it can be media driven because certainly if you watch ESPN they talk about the Ravens and but it is true at the same time but even without the whole playoff thing if you listen to the media about Lamar Jackson then you're not going to like him. If you watch ESPN NFL Network this and that eight times out of ten you're not going to like him because there's those two times out of ten when you got guys like maybe a Dominique Foxworth you got guys like a Peter Shraggs people get Lamar as props but a lot of those times if you watch somebody like oh man both Tony Gonzalez on what show is that the one with Jason Whitlock and Marcellus Wiley and sometimes CJ Hoosman's I don't come on in. But anyway a lot of it is media driven but a lot can be just people driven too people be like oh well yeah I don't like that guy for whatever reason they don't like him for but he'll be fine he'll get it it's obviously going to take some time because it's taking some time but no they'll get it but one good thing is that in his second playoff game it was definitely an improvement from the previous playoff game his first playoff game he just looked all sorts of bad but the second playoff game he I mean those receivers they weren't helping out at all all them drops weren't it was crazy man wonder why it was like that but anyway those receivers they weren't helping out at all with all them drops he did those semester passes too and then I think confidence just started getting shook and then it was just it just went bad from there what up homie football is back yes hope all is well yes everything is good oh and this is my god Lord Valley TV he said after the draft I manually updated Madden all the way up to the Williams going to San Fran releases traded trades no rookies but with what I did I started the season boy the league is right our D-line is sick and I played up to week seven and I liked the records as a whole KC was sell 500 pass the trash Titan sell 500 besides that in real life the birds made great pickups in the draft I think that this may be the Ravens best draft class ever EDC drafted dugs and you say that's Baltimore slang I think all picks will be on 53 man roster and training camp will be feisty the two wide receivers the two wide receivers will make Boykin and Snead bring the A game every day and make drop to the fourth and fifth wide receiver Mamba now has competition at return and hopefully we get Oregon Mamba JK just had a Jamal Lewis season in our system 57% RPO so Gus and he'll gotta bring it and I can see Gus being traded if not I really think we get AB or there's just because they are veteran dogs that talk on the field and have that aura about them lastly I believe Queen and Ohio State linebacker will start with Ford and Judon Queen bringing that championship vice from LSU and he said it's go time kept it clean this time my brother apologies I appreciate it man PS some ordering league past this season because Denver and Oakland and KC might score 40 a game with all that speed in that division sheesh nasty LL shout out to my guy man um yeah this this gonna be a season man and like you said those the the the young guys they gonna make the um not even just the older guy we really got no whole guys on offense but they gonna make people step up their game they really gonna make people step up their game if you don't step up your game you could be stepping out at several different positions so uh the the battles and training camp and all that are gonna be a lot of fun to watch next question came from my boy Logan he said I ain't gravy and hope for you and your loved ones are doing well yeah we're doing real good Logan hope you're doing the same too he said I was wondering about your opinion on two questions first is that if the Raven signed Jamal Adams with this diminished Jimmy Smith's role on defense if Jimmy Smith were to slightly transition to working more with Earl and Chuck Clark at the safety position well it's it's so much that depends on that I think if they were to um if they did trade for Jamal Adams I definitely don't see that like right now but if if that was something that had happened then yeah Jimmy would just be working as a corner I don't think they would even be moving him to safety because they would have plenty of safeties if they had Jamal Adams too but the next question is what position on the Ravens defense do you see as the largest leap in the years to come and have a great day and take care of me and I appreciate it well I would say the the largest leap the the position on defense where Ravens improved the most I would say just pressure that defensive line I would say the defensive line because you Kalaeus Campbell and Derek Wolf those are some very big signings to me and obviously Kalaeus Campbell was a trade but you you get what I mean so I would say a defensive line sort of a mix of defensive line pass so it's just really disruption really disruption and as far as what the biggest leap I see for years to come would be at the linebacker position because I think man especially once they get that chemistry going with Patrick Lee and Malik Harrison that thing can be beautiful man that thing can be beautiful man and like y'all know when we first dragged the Patrick Queen I wasn't too hyped man I wasn't too hyped man but I had to take some time to sit on and to think about it and then I was like okay this is actually pretty good and then we got Malik Harrison that one I was hyped for man but um I would say those are the positions next question and the last question on this episode NFL question from subscribers came from our boy Darnell Ortega because I actually answered one of his questions earlier about who's more punishing of a runner between Mike Allside and Jamal Lewis but he also asked about do I think Malik Harrison would be better than Kenny Young and I don't remember if I answered or not so you know what if I did y'all can just fast forward if I didn't hey here we go but Malik Harrison I um I think Malik Harrison will be because I think they will be more invested in Malik Harrison with Kenny Young they just they saw a guy who I don't think he was bad man I don't think Kenny Young was bad but they had better linebackers in front of him so they felt and he was on the bench when they traded him he was on the bench so it was like there was nothing that the Ravens were really losing and they gained everything out of that trade with Marcus Peter geez they gained everything out of that trade getting Marcus Peter's man um but I I mean obviously as of right now linebacker is not a spot where I don't think there would be three people in front of a Malik Harrison maybe two right now but definitely not three so I just don't see that and then this can be this season and then next season too can be where he really starts to establish his name I think definitely next season definitely next season but he can make some plays this season too just because he's a rookie that oh what that mean we don't see him plenty of rookies make plenty of plays over all the years but do I think he'll be better than Kenny Young I think it'll work out for him better than Kenny Young but hey we won't know till we get there but we'll see


Oh, there we go, going live. Okay, let me wait that I got my feedback. Okay, I got my feedback, awesome. So welcome everyone to the definition show, show number, I don't know, but show number four from my garden, that's for sure. Okay, I'm so happy to be here. Let me go to my studio, see if everything goes right. Okay, awesome. It's hot today, it's 22 degrees. So yeah, you can see I upgraded my chair. And yeah, it will be fun today. We will have an awesome interview with Christian. I will bring him up on stage in a few seconds. Also, we will play a game, and you know what, we will play the game from Red Hat Summit from last week.  Well, today you have the opportunity to play this game again, okay? It's a battleship with a really, really smart AI, you will see that. We will go through the, not through the code, but through the deployments that are doing that.  I have it ready and we will see, depending on the time out goes, let me go here on the feedback. And, hey, I see James already, Barry, hello, Barry. Yeah, James, I get my Kubernetes t-shirt, yeah. And for sure, say hello on the chat. I love the people being chatty. Say where you come from, et cetera. And yeah, we will have fun.  Let me try to press on the good buttons and let me see.  Why do I do that wrong? There we are. Hey, Chris. Hey, Mr. Blaschen. Hey. You see, I'm really impressed with your scenery. I should certainly upgrade my working place. Yeah. And well, I do it here because it's cool. Not only because it's cool, but because it's the place where I've got the best connection because I rely on my phone for my connection because my ADSL is really bad, but my 4G is not that bad, especially when I'm outside. So that's the reason I'm outside. So anyway, hey, thank you so much for joining the show. Just, I see you put your name as Chris. You prefer Chris or Christian? You have any preferences? Either way, most of the people call me Chris, but Christian is fine. Okay, okay, Chris goes. And by the way, it's with Sebastian here, but everyone calls me Seb as well. That's my nickname. So welcome to the show. Well, let's get started. I always ask this first question to my guest. So can you introduce yourself and tell us a bit what you do in your life? Yeah, absolutely. So I'm Chris Andrini. Thanks again for having me here. I'm a senior solution architect working in the banking industry and my main responsibility at the moment is implementing OpenShift, bringing OpenShift into the bank, which is a nice challenge. Certainly very interesting. But yeah, so that's what I currently do. Okay, okay, sounds good. Sounds interesting. I guess a lot of challenges. Yeah, let's start from the beginning. What, let me ask you that. What was your first computer? Wow, that was a long time ago. You know, the very first computer, I couldn't probably not even tell what it was because I had some neighbor company in my neighborhood and they had kind of a trash bin where they threw away old computer parts. And so I was allowed to go there and dig out all the computer parts, trying to get them running somehow, which I managed eventually, but I think the first proper computer was an i386. i386, okay. And then did you start coding directly on it or was it to play games or what? No, I think, I mean, the first operating system was running on DOS and then the first was going on Windows 3.1, it was actually. So I wasn't developing back then, I was like seven years old. Okay. But I got into development a couple of years later. You know, I got into Linux systems maybe two, three years after my first computer. And this is also when I started scripting and started getting into the development as well. Oh, yeah, yeah. So you started, so when did you start using Linux? In which year was that? I couldn't tell you the exact year, but the first Linux server was Debian. Debian, yeah. And this was also the time when Suze started to become popular in a sense that it was kind of the first seeder arms that you could buy in a shop. Oh, yeah. I got into Suze as well. And then just much later I got into Gintu and Red Hat. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember in my engineer school with Debian updating the Debian with floppy disk well, three and a half of the floppy disk with how do you call it in English? It was called save the server that you could add to your Debian distribution. Was not a word for patches, but yeah, we were really excited about that. And anyway, so and yeah, you say you start scripting. What did you, what did you do with your, when you started with your Linux computer? What, how did you play with it? What you did, you said scripting, but what did you script, for instance? Yeah, I mean, I really felt in love with command line. So what really attracted me at the end was installing Gintu because you could do it all out of the box. So you really bootstrap from the start, from the beginning. And then I started using scripting for pretty much any tasks I was doing.  So I script and automate pretty much everything I can. And this started as a kid as well. Okay, okay. I was doing all sorts of scripts of automating. You know, it was, back then it was cool to have a web browser based on text input. Oh, yeah. So I tried to script with little browser games, I tried to script automation in doing kind of automated tasks on the browser games while using some text-based browsers. Okay. Little fun things. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah, yeah. And so, what, so let's go a bit further. What did you study to do? Did you have an engineer degree or I don't know how you call it back? Yeah, I mean, I have a bachelor in computer science but that actually came much later. So in Switzerland, what I did was an apprenticeship. It's like a four year school where you learn computer science and you have like practical work, you're actually working. And many years later, actually I did my bachelor degree in computer science and right now I'm currently also doing a master degree in artificial intelligence which should be done in about three months. In three months? Wow, okay. In three months, yeah. Wow, is it, I guess a lot of mathematics for this one. It's a lot of statistics, a lot of numbers. Yeah, yeah, people like to troll about artificial intelligence saying, yeah, it's just statistics. Well, it's a lot of statistics. It is, there is no intelligence in artificial intelligence. Exactly, there's no, not yet. Not yet, exactly. Not yet, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, and so what was your first job in IT? Was it where you currently work or did you, did other? My first real job, I mean, I had apprenticeships, I was working for Lufthansa back then but my real first work was also in banking which I started in Solaris Linux. So my initial start was Unix-based but it wasn't on Rattat. So Rattat came actually much later professionally. I was still using Linux in my hobby but Solaris was the thing a couple of years back. Yeah, exactly, okay. And yeah, I didn't add to that. Now, what is your current Linux distribution for your personal computer? Is it, is it still? I use Fedora and then I have also MacBooks too. Okay. Yeah, yeah, well. And Windows for work, but I shouldn't tell this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's pretty much the same as me. I'm currently on my Mac now for doing this stream but I have my Fedora box that I use mainly for developing and because I have all my screens and et cetera and Windows.  Yeah, yeah. And sometimes I wonder, I want to play some super cool games and I should maybe buy a computer. One game that I want to play, I'm a big fan of Half-Life, you know, the first person shooter and there's a new version where you can use it with a virtual reality helmet but it only works on Windows. And I almost want just to buy a gaming PC just for this game, but yeah, we will see later. Yeah, well, that sounds very interesting at least. Are you a gamer, by the way? Not anymore. I used to game quite a lot when I was younger, but I just didn't have time anymore to go into gaming. I understand, yeah, yeah. A bit same for me. I recently started to gain Counter-Strike with some old friends and yeah, we do some, on Friday evening we play two hours Counter-Strike and it's still relaxing. Yeah, I mean, I missed the old days where we had the LAN parties where everyone brings his computer and like still where you had this huge, you know, screens and everything that was. Exactly. It was an all-adventure. LAN parties at friends or at my place, it was everybody carrying his big CRT stuff and most of the evening was spent of getting the networking working and then at around 2 or 3 a.m. in the morning, it was working and we could start playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I missed that as well. Yeah. People's plans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, let's continue. We can mention that briefly, but you just got an award from Reddit. Is the, can you remember the name of it? Yeah, I'm now officially the certified professional of the year 2021. So, congratulations for that. Thank you very much. And by the way, if people look on Reddit, I don't have the link here, but there's a short video of you explaining a bit. So that brings us to Reddit and slowly to the cloud. I want to speak a bit about the cloud with you. So, let's start this way. What is, because everyone speaks about cloud native, and everyone has a different definition of it. So, what is cloud native for you? What does it mean for you? So, cloud native for me is, I see it as an abstraction layer, trying to completely simplify work that needs to be done. If you look at development, usually developer cares about the code and running the code and doesn't much care about how it's been run, about how to scale it, how to make it highly available. And cloud native to me is exactly this. It's basically, I can throw in my code somewhere into a magic box and it magically just runs nicely. It's nicely scaled and highly available. And so, this really is cloud native to me, removing complexity that really people or end users and developers shouldn't really care. Yeah, I think it's pretty nice definition. Yeah, and I agree with it. And we also mentioned a lot of serverless lately, which is even going higher than that. That's me as a developer, I just want to deploy my workload. Well, in one sense with OpenShift and Kubernetes, it's already the case a bit, I find that you can push that further with stuff like K native. I don't know, have you played a bit with serverless? I have played a bit. I mean, originally I was using Lambda functions and then with serverless I got to go a bit, I don't have too much time at the moment to play around with all of these new toys. And it's like, you know, community is growing so quickly that there's so many projects coming and it's very hard to keep up the pace. But yeah, it's absolutely fantastic idea. Okay, and that's good point. You said you don't have enough time. You don't have enough time because you are, well, doing this degree in Artificial Intelligence, that's so hard for me to say in French is the opposite, it's intelligence artificial. No, I have to do the trick in my head. But also, and I don't know if you are currently doing any of those, but you do a lot of certification. If we go on your website, you'll have a huge list. And I'm pretty sure. My second hobby. Your second hobby. So I would like to talk a bit about it because two weeks ago for the show we had someone, we had Nick from Lego, Lego, working at Lego in Denmark. And he's also a monster of certification. He's passing all the Amazon certification currently. Okay, and he explained us a bit how he did it and when he could do that and why he did it. So let's start with why. Why do you pass certification? What is the main reason for you to pass certifications?  So one of the major benefits of these are because they're very hands on, you get very quickly into a topic. So whenever we have a new topic, satellite or open shift, basically I just go and look for the courses and do them, which basically gives you a very quick head start into this topic that you're looking at. And after that, I think you have enough munition to go and kind of play with yourself and just continue. So this is my main motivation. Whenever I saw opportunities for technology in the bank I'm working in, I was just basically going through the certifications, looking what they can do and just see how it works. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, yeah. And let's say, about the certification, you are working and you have, you need time to prepare this education. And yeah, when do you do that? Because I know that some people do that late during the evenings, that's a lot of people say, now you know what, you can also wake up really early before you work, steady on that. So what's your steady plan for certifications?  My normal day usually starts at five, 30 or six o'clock in the morning studying. So I do have early starts. When I go to work, I mean, before COVID, when I had to commute, I had like a two hour commute. So it was perfect to do your studies during the commute, I was commuting by train. So yeah, otherwise in the evenings, after work, before work, whenever I had time to do it. When you have time, okay. Yeah, yeah, and I can't imagine two hours of commute in the train. That's the perfect opportunity to do this kind of thing because you really don't have the feeling to waste your time. And yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's awesome. Yeah, the only downside is if you're in the middle of the lab and you're supposed to get out of the train, sometimes I just miss the stop. You miss the stop, you miss the stop sometimes? Yeah, yeah, it happened a couple of times. I went all the way to Germany until I realized that I'm way too far. Really, you went until Germany and, oh yeah, usually people fall to sleep and they wake up, okay, that's awesome. Do you have any tips for people who would like getting started with getting certifications? Do you have a top three of tips or? Yeah, I mean, you know, when we're talking about Reddit certifications at least, I really love the online learning subscription, mainly because you get the chance to do the lab. You know, you have an online lab where you can play with the environment. And so this is really nice. And I think if you want to get into Linux and RHCE is definitely one of the top courses to do, I think. And if you're interested in OpenShift, obviously there's so many courses around OpenShift that are absolutely fantastic to get started. And it's all full hands on, so it's super interesting topic. Okay, let's go. And do you have some, if you need help, how does that work? To be honest, I have no idea. Do you have a mentor or you've got a chat or you can call someone? Yeah, I mean, depending on the subscription base that you have, I mean, there's obviously, there's a community forum that you can use. There's also kind of support that you can ask for and that there's some private time that you can book into to ask questions if you want to. And maybe as a super beginner, it might be worth having a one-to-one or kind of like a guided course with the proper teacher that would help. But I think once you have a certain knowledge around Linux and how it all works, then self-paced learning is for me the preferred solution. But can you also communicate with other people that are passing the same certification at the same time? Is there some kind of community or like? Only through the forum actually, but it's not like you can chat because it's not like you don't have like a fixed start. Everyone can start whenever they want. So it's a bit hard to kind of align with other people on less days. You know, start at the same time that you know. Okay, yeah, yeah. And I was just checking the chat. We have a question in the chat when we were speaking probably about cloud native. And Kurt, hey, Kurt, by the way, he said, Kurt is asking, is Docker and Kubernetes cloud native to you? Well, my answer is yes, of course. And I guess for you too, it's part Docker. Yeah, I think definitely Docker and Kubernetes are a big part of cloud native stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And thank you, Kurt, because this is a nice transition because I would like to focus a bit about Kubernetes and then we can speak also a bit about OpenShift. So yeah, we spoke together beginning of the week and you told me that you love Kubernetes. How did you, well, how did you discover Kubernetes? Was it in the beginning of when it was released or? It was pretty much in the beginning when it was made public, when I discovered Kubernetes. It was also the beginning when I started to look into containers. Super interesting topic for sure.  Since like the first versions to what it got now, it's pretty amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, well, I guess if you are in charge of OpenShift at your work, I was about to say, do you use Kubernetes at your work? But yeah, that for sure. But we further, we focus a bit on OpenShift maybe. Just Kubernetes is in generic. I asked this question to all my guests and we got super interesting answers every time. First one is, what is your preferred feature of Kubernetes? Everything, no, but I think one of the nicest feature at the moment is the concept of operators and custom resource definitions. Mainly because, I mean, this is what I really like also, the whole cloud native stack is to have an abstraction layer so that the consumer really doesn't need to care on how it actually works. It just needs to kind of configure it in a way it needs to and then all the complexities done or given away to people that have all the domain knowledge over the product. So that's a fantastic invention I would say, even if it's probably not the core feature of Kubernetes. Well, no, no, it's super cool. I love operators as well. I've been diving into operators for the last months now because I want, and yeah, this concept of custom resource definition. And I try to teach that in my deep dives as well. You explain to the people, well, you can define any custom resource that you want that shows how extensible Kubernetes is.  But it makes the point that you can extend it like you want. And do you, because you said, when you started with Linux, you liked to script and to automate all the things. So, well, operators is a bit like automating stuff for you as well. Do you, did you try to create your own operator? I haven't played a lot with creating operators. I mean, we created a couple of operators based on Ansible. We didn't do the goal language, but it was Ansible based operators. We need to kind of bootstrap projects if people request a new project inside OpenShift. We have an operator that takes basically this custom resource definition and sets up all the permissions and quotas and whatnot. Yeah, that's pretty cool. We have, in our team, we do deep dives and we have an operator SDK deep dive. And in the first part, we show two things. We show how you can take an Helm chart, for instance, and wrap that into an operator, which is pretty nice because you can take any existing Helm chart. And the second one is Ansible. How can you take existing Ansible roles, a playbook, and package that as an operator? And with the operator SDK, it's a matter of typing a few commands and you've got it ready and it's super easy to use. It's super easy to use. So, okay, cool. That's a nice one. That's the first time that someone answered operators. And I'm really happy about that. And second question that I always ask is, if you could pick one, well, if you could choose one feature of your dreams, even if it doesn't exist yet, even if it maybe will never exist, and you have the power to put it in the next Kubernetes release, what would that feature be? Yeah, that's a very interesting question. I'm not sure this would be my feature of my dreams, but it certainly would help me in a great time, which is having kind of a single switch to activate zero trust. I mean, this seems to be a common theme at the moment. And also in the bank, we have to adhere to zero trust principles. And having a switch which configures Kubernetes in a way that all communications are automatically fully encrypted, ETCD is encrypted and whatnot. Having a single switch like this will be awesome, but unfortunately it's not the case. So we have to manually implement all sorts of hacks to get it running. It could be done, I guess, with an operator, with a custom resource, really small YAML trust falls and you apply it and your whole cluster, the controller take care of that and disables, well, enables zero trust everywhere. It could be awesome. Yeah, it would be awesome. So if anyone is listening and knows how to do it, who wants to do it, I think it's a great idea. Let's take the time, yeah, we're still on time. So thank you, there were really interesting answers. I collect them and at the end of the year, I will make a video showing all the answer from everyone. I already made one, I will share the link with you if you want to. And I really like it because there's one feature that someone dreamed of and actually it's available now in OpenShift. Maybe I will show it after the interview in this room. Speaking of OpenShift, so, yeah, I guess you like, you love OpenShift because you guys know it. Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So where you work, are you keeping up to date with the OpenShift version? Are you already on OpenShift 4? We are on the leading edge, we are like 4.7.6. Well, actually there's a new update, we should actually do the new update. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, since it's at the very beginning in our stage, we just try to keep on the latest versions while we onboard people. And from the start, we teach them that there will be regular updates, which is an absolute normal thing. And luckily updates now with version 4 become a lot more easy than the old Ansible installer beast. Because of operators. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And, yeah, awesome. And well, maybe I can ask you the same question I asked you for Kubernetes. What is your favorite OpenShift specific video that you love? Yeah, I mean, it also operates that. Just find it's amazing that you can just throw in a couple of operators and they just magically bootstrap themself and if one is broken, they will just continue to fix themselves. It's pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah. I think my favorite one is still is the old one that is the OC expose. It's just the expose service. And because I do a lot of demos with Kubernetes and usually I show a service with the load balancer. And if I'm on Amazon or Azure, it creates a URL, public URL for me, but it takes maybe two minutes to get resolved. And always I say, you know what? We don't have time. I do OC get expose my service and I show the route. I paste the route and it's working out of the box. And yeah, yeah, that's. Which reminds me, you know, one of the great feature that unfortunately gets at the commission is the OC export with the option of minus minus template. Which basically just removes all the unnecessary fields to generate the template. I don't know why they remove it, but I think that was an excellent feature. We should have it ready. Okay, but that's a great feedback. And maybe someone on the chat can, maybe if Chris is still on the chat and we can collect it at least and then come with a reply. Yeah, yeah, sometimes that happens. Great stuff and gets removed. And last question, well, not last question, we can continue, but I'm curious about the, because I'm a developer and on OpenShift you have this developer view on the OpenShift. Do you have developers that use that view or maybe the first question is, does developers have access to the cluster and in your company? Yeah, they absolutely have access. And so most of our developers, they don't have a great knowledge of OpenShift. Yeah. And I think that the web with your eyes is the perfect entry point for them because they can kind of click themselves through certain tasks and then they can kind of graph that the YAML definitions and make that done in NCIC and E-Pipeline. So it's a great starting point for them. And obviously for a demo, it's also nice to see when you do a rolling update and you see all these nice features but other than that, I mainly use as the CLI if I work on it. Yeah, yeah, yes. Exactly. Well, yeah, me too. Well, I do a lot of demo, I'm Dev Advocate, so I often show the console because it's cool to show but even for myself, when I create a container from the Dev view, it's so easy to do deploy from container. I just type my container name from Docker for Cray and I just click, click, click. And yeah, if I need quickly to deploy a workload, it's so easier. And now you can even go faster, you can drop your jar file in the topology view and then you can choose or if you want it to be a deployment or a connective service if you have serverless installed. And yeah, but I will probably show it in a few minutes. So that's a feature we're talking about that was requested. That was requested, that was requested by Waitsang. By Waitsang, the first show ever was in August, back in August. And when I asked the question the way he said, oh, it will be nice to know, I'm a Java developer, I make my jars and I would like to just push my jar to the cluster and get it deployed. And yeah, and last week it was showed at the Red Hat Summit. So it's there. I like it. I think maybe it won't be used directly in production but if in a company, developers get access to a QA cluster, a Dev cluster and maybe they never had time to learn too much about Kubernetes even not maybe about containers, but they know how to make a jar. And now they can, well, create their jar, drag and drop it to see if it's working. And yeah, it's lower the entry, the bearer, the bearer to enter the cloud native word. So let me just double check the chat if we have some. So Kurt was asking, does it help provide that as well? Oh, maybe we, that was when we spoke about operators and then I mentioned that you can do that with HelmTart. So yeah, and someone is asking, April is asking 20 certification with question mark. That's a lot. And what are they in? Well, these are public now on your website. So I could share your with right? Yeah, yeah. The public, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me, let me do that right now because. I think on the website, it's not actually, there's probably more nowadays, but then. Yeah, I see. It stops in, it stops in 2018 with your OpenShift certification. 2018. Yeah, so there's definitely a lot more. There's a lot more. Okay, so I'm going to basis, it's just a preview for the people, okay? So, but by the way, it's not just for the certification but I put, is your website there? So people can get all the information about you, which is great. Yeah, you know what? That's it for me. We are, yeah. And it's still need to do some demos and et cetera, but was pretty awesome to speak with you and was really interesting to her. Well, how you went through all this certification, but also speaking a lot about Kubernetes, you had some great answers about the preferred features. I always love this part of the interview. And yeah, again, congratulations again for being the certified champion of the year, something like that. Okay, thank you very much. It was a pleasure. Thank you very much for having me. And yeah, hopefully we will cross our roads at one time maybe when we will be able to travel and maybe at a Reddit summit or something like that. Yeah, I should definitely visit your garden. It looks fabulous. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, man. It is amazing, yeah, yeah, yeah. All my cats are around me here and right now and yeah. Okay, hey, thank you so, so much. And yeah, hopefully we see each other and maybe next year. Okay. I hope so. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye, everyone. So that's, that was cool. We learned a lot of stuff and it's, yeah, every time I got a new guest, we see, we learn new stuff, we hear new stories. And yeah, I think it's really interesting. So anyway, let me double check how things are going here over there. Yeah, everything goes well in the chat. So we have some time left. Let me drink some water, even if I drop my bottle during the interview. And there we go. We're going to play a game, but before that I want to do two small demos, okay? Because last week it was Reddit Summit. And when they're Summit, there are announcements, okay? And there were some great announcements. I cannot cover them all of them here, but there are two things that I want to show you. The first one is Reddit manage streams, which means manage Kafka, okay? We all know how Kafka is important, even driven architecture, and setting up your Kafka cluster is not the easiest thing. Well, in Kubernetes with the operator, it makes your life easier, but still the entry barrier is high. And even if once you have your cluster running, you have to maintain it, okay? Wouldn't be cool if you could have a Kafka cluster that is managed for you. And the only thing you need to do is create your topics and you don't care of where your Kafka cluster is running. It's all managed for you. Well, that was one of the announcements, okay? And it's still in beta, okay? But let me try if I can show you a little bit how it looks like, because let me share my screen, there we go. Let me share, so here we are in inception mode, okay? Here you see the Restream Studio, but where does it start? It starts on cloud.reddit.com, okay? That is the place to be, and this website will become more and more important, okay?  So let me maybe copy this link here over there. There we go. And there we go, and we got here, I'm just checking the, oh, we have question there on YouTube, and Striker, Striker Cube, okay? Anyway, I paid you there the link, and look at this, on cloud.reddit.com, you can do a lot of things. You can manage your OpenShift clusters, for instance, okay? You can create your Kubernetes cluster, but you also have access to your managed services, and I have access here to Manage Kafka in beta, okay? But look how it looks like. I come here on Kafka Instance, and I have this big, this big button, and I just click it, okay? And here I say, well, I want my cluster to be called definition show, okay? Here I choose my cloud provider, for now it's just on Amazon, but you can imagine that later when we will spread out that, you click pick any cloud provider that you want, okay? Which region? For now it's just this in the US, East Virginia. I create my instance, okay, and there we go. Everything is managed for me. That will create a Kafka cluster for me. Let's see how much time does it takes of around two or three minutes, depending I think about the cluster where it's getting created, okay? If it's busy or not, but it's pretty fast. And once it's created, well, basically all you have to do is create a service account for you, okay? To protect your Kafka topics because you don't want anyone to be able to send Kafka records on your topic, okay? So you may do that by creating a service account that will give you an API key, an API secrets that you can use in your services that you will bind to this Kafka cluster, okay? Resources, how to get started? And this is great because you get some quick starts here, okay? And you can start a tour, and which is great here, is you get here the quick start and you can just follow all the steps that never moves away while it's getting created, okay? So you see creating Kafka instance, creating a service account and creating a topic. So I already did the step one, okay? Step two, step one, so it explained me how to do that. I already do that, cluster name, create instance, okay? And I have to wait the instance status is ready, okay? Let's imagine it's ready. Next step is creating my service account, okay? And let me see, authentication method. I can choose my authentication method. And finally, probably the next step is creating my topic, okay? Hopefully in a few seconds, it will be, and there's a plane, ooh, it's a helicopter, okay? Maybe you hear there's a helicopter going above my house, okay? But I think that if you can still hear me. So I just, I really hope it will get ready because I just want to show you how easy it's to create a topic. But imagine that your Kafka cluster will be created for you. It's fully integrated in OpenShift, in the developer view, okay? So you will be able to bind your services, your workloads with your Kafka topics. On the tooling side, there are all some Visual Studio Code plugins as well to make your life really easy to create your Kafka topics. There's a command line, so here I'm clicking, but there's also a command line available to manage your managed Kafka, okay? Anyway, why is getting, ooh, there it is. My Kafka instance is ready, okay? So it's really, really, it's there, I can click on it. And what I could do now is something like create a topic, okay? And now I can create a topic. I say my topic, for instance, there we go. And I do next, how many partitions do I want in my topic? Well, let's go for three, for instance, three partitions. I can choose my retention time, maybe I can increase a bit here. Retention time, by default, you know, in Kafka it's one week, I can make it a day or I can make it look, I can make it really short if I want. Retention size, unlimited, or I can set the custom size. So anything that you can do on a Kafka topic, you can do it just by clicking. And again, you just do next, finish. And the manage guy will create the topic for you, okay? Topic is there, ready to be used. And that's it, okay? So I really encourage you to try it out. There are a thousand slots available. There will be more in the future. I don't know if there are still slots available, but anyway, give it a try. Go on developers.reddit.com, there are great blog posts, videos that explain you how you can play with all this great stuff. That was the first one. Second one, and then we will play the game, don't worry. And I will let the game running for a while, so you will be able to play it after. I just want to see, like, hey, Evan, hey, hey, and Evan is there, and he did last week. Well, at the exact same time, he did an awesome demo about managed Kafka. And so go on the YouTube channel, or the channel where you write, if you are on YouTube, sorry for the people from Twitch, but you can go to the Reddit Developer YouTube channel, and you can watch a replay from the talk, the tech talk from Evan from last week. Believe me, watch it, it's really cool. Last thing, and then we will play the game. I got it here, let me go, let me show you that. I got it here, OpenShift 4.8, okay? So Christian, you say you were on 4.7.6, that is 4.8, so the latest, okay? And there's one great feature, let me call this the definition with a new project, okay? I go to the developer view, my favorite view, because I'm a developer, and let me go here, let me hope, come on, topology. Okay, topology, it should work, no resource found, okay?  Let's see if that works. So I got here an application that I created last week, and I got my jar here, best of submit, and let me drop it here, and look at this, upload a jar, my jar file, I want it, I say it's a Quarkus app, okay, Quarkus app, and I want it to be deployment, but I could make it also Canadian service, I could set environment variables, my health checks, anything, but let's keep it simple. I just hit create here, okay? And my jar file is uploading now, okay? And we can take a look at this, let me take a look here, review logs, okay? So what happens? Well, the jar file is getting uploaded from my computer to my cluster, to our OpenShift cluster, it's done, okay? And now you can create a container image from this jar file, okay? That should be pretty fast. Once he has this image, well, he pushed it to the internal widget, here you can see the steps, you see? He's doing the steps, and once he gets pushed up in the registry, well, he creates a regular Kubernetes deployment, he creates a route for me, I think it's already done, let me take a look here at the topology, there we go, it's almost done, okay, container is getting created, okay? So let me take a look at the logs here, let me see, oh, oh, could be the, you know what, I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I pasted the wrong jar file, I didn't paste a Uber jar, that could be it, okay? Maybe that's it, yeah, yeah. So I probably did a new build since then, because it needs to be a runnable jar, you know? And what I did, I, did I, oh no, you know, I didn't copy the runner, that's why, that's why, that's why let me copy the runner and copy, no? Oh, no, no, no, okay, now I know what I did, I reused this demo, I don't have the runnable jar because I compiled that to native. Anyway, believe me, if you have a runnable jar, that was not a good demo, then if you get a runnable jar, well, then it just work, I can show you the application that I deployed, okay? I probably get it running here, well, I have it as a Knative version.  If I do slash best of, so that's exactly the same jar that I posted, okay? And here it say, bonjour, les amis. Okay, so, second drop, your jar, you can do now in OpenShift 4.8. We have 13 minutes left to play the game, so for people who were here last week at Red Hat Summit, you probably remember that on day two, there was an awesome demo, an awesome game, showing off all the great technology that Red Hat provides you on top of OpenShift, so serverless, ooh, it's getting really windy here, serverless, Kafka, of course, artificial intelligence, all these components were put together to create an awesome game. And this game, we are going to play it right now, okay? And this game is a battleship game, okay? And you will be playing against the computer, okay? Not the computer running on the computer, computer running as a pod, okay? And let me paste the link for you, okay? And there we go. If someone here is on the chat and could copy maybe the link to the Twitch OpenShift to the chat, okay? That would be awesome. So people watching us on Twitch could also join the game, okay? Anyway, you should have the same screen as me here, okay? Before we start, let me quickly show you if I go here in the admin view to the project. So this game has a lot of different namespaces. There's the battleship backend, the dashboard, the leaderboard, the scoring system, okay? There's the data grid, because I deployed it now just in one cluster, but you can deploy that on several clusters as well as still work, okay? We have the front end here, AI. If we go inside the AI and we take a look at the workloads, for instance, I have here several pods. Let's take a look at the AI logs. Can we see anything interesting? Expand. Ooh, yeah, I can see some pretty complicated stuff with predictions, so that is AI. Okay, anyway, statistics again.  Because I can start a game whenever I want because I have access to the admin console. And I am going to hit the button play and you should be able to play the game. And let's go. So, first thing you can place your chips, okay? So you can rotate them, place them somewhere else. Let me do something like that, okay? And then you should be able to play the game. Oh, and it's hidden by me by the, click to play, okay? Oh, invalid, oh yeah, he's right. That's not a valid placement. And I can play the game. Okay, I start. So let me do a wild guess over there. Miss. Okay, let's see the computer if he's smart. Ooh, he got a hit. Okay, let me try here. It's a miss again for me. And the computer, oh, miss for computer. So let's try maybe somewhere here. Hey, I've got a hit. But, ooh, that was close. Let me see here. And the first time that you will destroy your ship, you will see you will have a bonus party where you have to click the fastest as possible to collect even more points. Maybe, oh, maybe next time I, next move I will be able to do it. Yeah, look at this. Oh no, you know what?  How do you call that? I don't remember in English. Le porte-avion, the carrier. Okay, so there we go. Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, there we go, there we go, there we go, go, go, go, go, go. Okay, so let's play a bit. I'll leave you play a bit the game. I can pose it as well. But I want to go to take a look at the dashboard. Oh, look, that's the dashboard. So we have our top nine players, seven players. So we can do better people. Join the game. Maybe if I refresh, it should be live. But let me do it again. We have eight players, 10 games has been played, two games has been completed. So we get all the statistics live, okay? So let me see if people are, and Kristen is saying, now I know what we should implement at work. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, awesome. So I'm curious if people can, you know what, I think that's me this morning when I try out the game. So I'm still number one. So try to beat me. I think it's, oh, look, yeah, the score is updated a real time, okay? So on the chat, there's even, as well, he did a great talk last week about Kaffirah, but he did a crazy job on this game as well, okay? He was with an awesome team of engineers and they worked as crazy on these games, okay? They worked for weeks and weeks. And yeah, one great thing they also did was documenting the game, how to deploy it. So this morning I was just able to follow the instructions and just run some commands and I get this running on my cluster. So this is awesome. Let me see. You know what? I can do that because that's a favorite feature of Berserter because he loves to do that. He can pause the game for everyone. Look, you should all have the game paused now, okay? And that is really useful when you do a keynote or a presentation and you want people to get your focus again, okay? You can press the pause button and people are always impressed by that, okay? And the hood is just using some web sockets and web sockets are such a great, it's really old web sockets, but it's so great to be able to push stuff from the server to the browser to change the behavior of your browser. I'm still impressed by that. So you can pause the game and let me see. I can, no, that's not a good one. We can play it again and you should be able to play it again, okay? So let me see if I can manage to win the computer. And let me know in the chat if you are, if you won or if you lost. We still have some minutes to play, okay? And I will leave the game running until two or three extra hours and then I will undeply it. Otherwise, my bill for the cloud will be huge, okay? But anyway, and of course, oh, there we go. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This game is open source. Everything is, all the sources are available. Can I share that with you? Do I have the link here? Summit, submit, submit, submit, submit. Summit, submit, submit, submit, submit, submit, submit, submit. You know what I want because now I'm in stress. Oh, maybe here. If you go to Reddit demo, probably there, Reddit demo. Okay, look, look. I just share you the main repo because there you get all the stuff that you need, okay? I show you that. And one really important repo here is called the demo cluster setup, okay? So you clone this repo, you make sure you have a cluster running, okay? Everything is explained here. And then you just follow here all the steps, okay? And believe me, it's pretty easy, especially if you do it only on one cluster and you should be able to have this game running on your cluster. And of course, you can drive into the code and see exactly how it has been built. It's one great piece of architecture here. Let me see the dashboard. I'm curious. Okay, we have 10 players now, 17 games completed. I'm still number one, by the way, I think. And let me try this again. And let me see. And oh, one of my cats joined the stream, okay? So which cat is that? Oh, that is Link.  You say hello? Anyway, so let me see. And maybe one thing I can try. I'm not sure if it will work, the replay, but we can try it. Okay, for people who won the game, I think I can, oh, maybe I will win again. Okay, 600 points. Oh, but ooh, he's really close as well. Yeah, yeah, I won't win, I think.   But I'm playing with one cat in one arm, streaming. And you're like, oh, yeah, I think it's done for me. No, ooh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You will get me now, yeah, I lost. I lost, I lost, I lost. Okay, let me take a look at the dashboard here. Nine players, 18 games has been started. The ship sank, 86 ships has been sunk. Okay, we have the rush ratio here hit, miss. That is awesome. I think I just shared it with you because it's just a few stuff here. Let me share that with you. There we go, okay. Oh, Jerson Ramirez, I got an error trying to create my Kafka. Something went wrong, is the problem persists, please contact customer service. I had someone, someone from Reddit that had that and he suspected it was an issue with his subscription. To be honest, I don't know which is the best way to handle that, maybe if someone on the chat, maybe you can just write an email to, I don't know if there's a contact email on the website, just send an email, but yeah, I have the chat here and I will try to follow up on this, okay. But again, I cannot tell you anything, what exactly is happening, okay. Anyway, the game is running. The game is still running.  I will leave it running for one hour or two and we are already at the end. So it was again a cool show. We see each other again in two weeks. Next week's is the tech talk, to be honest, I don't know what tech talk it is and next week, let's see that together. Let me see tech talk. So, oh yeah, so next talk is No Yamo, Kubernetes done the easy way, okay, by Kamesh, my awesome friend Kamesh, so be sure to be there. Thank you everyone so much. I hope you enjoy it. And well, see you in two weeks. Bye-bye.


Hello everybody! Watch this video to find out how to recover data from a RAID based on a nonoperable LACI NAS and how to build or change the RAID level and retrieve files from a press-rate system. In today's world, data is of utmost importance – network-attached storage devices often old photos, documents, videos, backups and other precious information. And network-attached storage provides a reliable way to store data thanks to the RAID technology. RAID is a way to combine several physical hard disks into a single logical data storage. RAID gives a good reliability, high performance and the possibility to recover data if one or several disks fail. LACI 5Big allows users to create various levels of disk rates, for example RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 6, which offers good protection against data loss. RAID systems have several advantages, including enhanced reliability for tolerance and data recovery options. However, there may be various issues like hardware failures, configuration errors or equipment breakdowns which may result in losing access to your files. If something like that happened, it is important to know how to restore access to your data and recover it. In today's video, we'll explore how to build a RAID on this NAS and how to change its level and what to do if the disk array crashed on the network drive is inaccessible. For starters, let's explore how to build a RAID system on this specific NAS device. It will give you some insight into the RAID technology and help to recover the data problem. I have this LACI device, model 5Big Network 2, during the initial setup. The RAID automatically creates a RAID and its properties depend on the number of hard disks you have connected. To change the RAID level, open the LACI web interface. Type the IP address of your device into your browser. To identify the IP address, you can use a special utility – LACI network assistant. In the Storage Management window that opens, go to RAID Management. In this section, you will see the information on the current RAID status. To change the properties and rebuild the array, click on the Manage button, and select the Build mode, Automatic or Manual, then click Next. Select the hard disks for the future array, and click Next again. After that, choose the RAID level and click Next. At this stage, check the array properties and click Finish to confirm them. It starts the process of initialization, and depending on the total site of selected disk space, it can take from 10 hours and longer. Have a look at this table for more details. If you lose access to the network drive when the network attached storage fails or other hardware breaks down, you'll have to rebuild the crashed RAID and retrieve important data. And this is when you need a specialized data recovery tool – Hadment Rate Recovery. It supports all popular file systems and RAID times, including the technology required to use LSD array. The utility will automatically rebuild the crashed array with the available hard disks, and you'll be able to retrieve your files. To start the recovery process, take the drives out of the storage device and connect them directly to the motherboard over Windows computer. Bear in mind that before starting data recovery operations, you should prepare sound-free disk space with the capacity equal to the amount of data you are planning to recover from your disk array. If your motherboard has less setup ports or power connectors than necessary, use additional adapters and expansion cards. Also, depending on the RAID's level, you can exclude one or two hard disks from the array. For example, RAID 5 retains the probability if one of its hard disks is missing. When the hard disks are connected and the program starts, it will automatically scan the disks and rebuild the damaged RAID. Below, you will see the array properties. To search for lost files, right-click on the identified volume, and choose Open. After that, choose the scan type, file scan, or full analysis. If the NAS is down, but the program manages to rebuild the RAID correctly, a file scan is enough. When the scan is over, open the folder where the lost files were stored. This program retains the entire structure and file name so it will be easy to find the required items, and you can use the preview window to see their contents. The previously removed files are marked with a red cross. Select all the items you want to recover and click the Recovery button. Specify where to save the data. Choose the disk and folder. Click Recovery and Finish. You will find the recovered files in the folder you have chosen. If the program can't find the missing files after the file scan, then go for full analysis. To do it, return to the main menu, right-click on the disk, and choose Analyze again. Full analysis. Choose the file system type. You can uncheck the option for Content Aware Analysis as it will make the process go faster. Later on, if the program fails to find the required files, run the scan again, but this time with the Content Aware option enabled. As you can see, the utility managed to cope with the task to rebuild the crash to RAID, find the remaining files, and even the items which have been removed before. In case of ISCSI disk and a properly working NAS storage, you will be able to scan the disk right from the client's system. Start the program and scan the network drive. Find the files which were accidentally deleted and recover them. This method can help you if some files were removed from the storage by accident. In this case, you don't need to take the disks out of the storage case. Set up an ISCSI connection and try scanning the drive from where the files were removed. We have explored how to configure such connection a bit earlier in this video. In some situations, the program may fail to rebuild the RAID automatically. This can happen when the service information on the disk is erased, so the program cannot identify parameters of the crashed RAID. In such cases, the RAID constructor with the manual build feature will help you. This tool will save the day when the disk beginning is erased, together with the information about the array parameters. This is what typically happens when disks are connected to another controller and the previous configuration is erased when the RAID is rebuilt, or when the disks are initialized. For initialization, data will be erased completely. If you know the array parameters, start the constructor, choose manual mode, next. Specify the array time, block order and size. Add the disks it used to include and replace the missing disks with empty drives by clicking the plus button. You may have to specify the offset, which tells you where the beginning of the disk is located. One more thing to choose is the disk order.  Any full information is correct, you will see its folders here, filling all properties and click add. After that, the RAID system will appear in the drive manager. Now, start the scan, search for files and recover the ones you need. At the end of this tutorial, I'd like to remind you about the importance of backing up your files from RAID regularly. This simple step will help you avoid data loss and make the recovery process easier if any failures occur. Also, don't forget that data recovery from RAID requires special attention, since even one wrong action can result in a total data loss from all involved artists. If you're not too confident, it's always better to ask professionals for help. Summing up, now you know how to restore access to your data in case your network attached storage fails. If you need to recover your last CE5 big network to nest after a failure or disk replacement, leave a comment and we'll do our best to help you. And that is all for now.
