What's this whole process been like? And how do you like your landing spot in Tennessee? Well, this process has been absolutely bizarre for me, but landing in Tennessee has been great. And I'm in the joy in every second of it. I'm extremely grateful. I thank God. I thank Jesus Christ and my parents. I'm just extremely excited to get to Tennessee and get to work. Lori Curtis. Kayla, congratulations. How big of a sales job? How many questions did you have to answer about your draft, about your back through this whole draft process? Numerous. How tiring was it?  Yeah, it's just frustrating. You get to a point where, you know what I'm saying?  And if you don't believe in me, you know, then play against me. Yeah, right, Chad? Yeah, Kayla, well, I do have another question about that back, Kayla. How are things, what is your prognosis right now? Do you expect to be available by training camp and be able to play as a rookie? Yeah, I feel great. I'm extremely excited to get to Tennessee and get on the field and get to work and get to meet all my new coaches. I'm ecstatic for tomorrow. John Bunnin. Thanks, Caleb. What was it like, you know, I guess as past year in terms of opting out and, you know what, I guess why did you make the decision early like you did and how do you feel about it at this point? Yeah, well, you know, I talked about the opt out a thousand times. So, you know, there's no point to go back, but I feel great, you know, I'm at Tennessee tight and I'm in good health and I'm extremely excited for the upcoming season. I feel great.  Norris Jenkins, Christian Fulton, Kevin Johnson, a new addition here in Tennessee, what do you know about the Titans defense and some of the players that are here? I've never met any of those guys personally, but, you know, I'm a fan, I've been a fan boy from a distance, you know, I'm fans of all their games and I'm extremely excited to get in the locker room and barn and get to meet new guys and, you know, be a great teammate to them. And what do you make of what the, I know their system is, they pride themselves on multiplicity here in Tennessee, but where do you think your best fit is with these players that they currently have on the roster? That my best fit with the players or within the system? The best fit within the defense, I guess I should say, apologies. Oh yeah, my best fit within the defense is, Caleb, you got that guy. Kerry? Caleb, what was it like, I guess kind of having to go through the process of being injured and as you're coming out and declaring for the draft and trying to, what was the hardest part in trying to get yourself back and get ready to be healthy enough to play? Yeah, the hardest part was just being patient, canceling out the noise, waiting for the draft. You know, that was the hardest part, but you know, I feel great. I can't wait to get back on the field and I'm just extremely excited to be a Tennessee Titan. Steve Layman. Caleb, congratulations and welcome to Tennessee. After 17 months, how excited are you to just get on the field and play again? You have no idea, you have no idea.  I'm extremely excited to get back on the field and to rep these colors. And one of the things that the Titans are known for is locking people down man to man. That's certainly something that Virginia Tech and their cornerbacks have been known for over the years. When you line up across from somebody, what are you thinking as you try to lock them down? Yeah, I'm just thinking that they're not on my level. You know, I'm trying to dominate. I wanna be a great corner and I'm gonna show up to work every day to try to make that happen. And hopefully I can help the Tennessee Titans win games. Ben Arthur. Hey Caleb, first of all, just welcome to Nashville. To my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong. It looks like you've only been playing cornerback for a couple of years. Just kind of with that said, is there anyone you've, I guess, tried to, you know, model your game after? Anyone you've kind of looked to as you've made that transition to defense? Oh yes, you know, I try to take a little bit from everybody and kind of put it together as I see fits my need, as my skill set and things like that, you know, I can't really name just one person, but I've tried to pick and pull different specialties from everybody. Luke. Caleb, will you be ready to go for training camp? I believe so, 100% yes. Have you been told that you need any additional surgeries or do you think you're done with that stuff? Yeah, that's completely false, completely false. Teresa. Caleb, you were gonna be in Cleveland tonight and apparently you've tested positive. How are you doing and was it a positive test for COVID? Yeah, I mean, no, it could have been a false positive. I tested negative today at the hospital, I feel great. Paul. Hey, Caleb, who did you have a sense was interested in you coming into tonight? Who wouldn't you have been surprised to hear call your name? I knew the Tennessee Titans was interested in me and I'm so glad that it worked out. Who else, if it wasn't the Titans, who was it gonna be? Different teams here and there. Nobody really showed me more interest in the Titans. Karon. Caleb, you mentioned that you feel that you'll be ready for training camp, but if that isn't the case and if they have to go the patient route, how are you gonna deal with that, especially knowing you haven't played in so long? I'm sorry, I didn't hear the last, very last part. I said, if you aren't able to go at training camp and they wanna take that patient approach with you, how are you gonna deal with that, especially considering you haven't played in so long? Yeah, I'll rebuke that in the name of Jesus. I'm expecting to be ready. I like that, I like that. I like that. So getting back to your cat coverage ability and what you bring to the table, what is it that makes you such an outstanding cover pointer? You know, shoot, I don't know. I'm not an analyst. I just give my heart to the game. I work extremely hard and I'm gonna give the Tennessee Tigers all I got. Chris Harris. Caleb, I'm just curious. You're obviously in the car moving. Where are you headed? I'm going home to get ready to go to Tennessee tomorrow. Okay, where were you? I was at a family member's house. Okay, great. I just one more question about, you had talked about just kind of the mental fortitude that it took for the last 17 months to stay ready. I just wonder what that was like every day having to get up and knowing, you know, like it's all part of the plan. Just keep rehabbing and do what I'm doing. Can you talk us through what that was like? Oh yeah, well, for me, you know, I leaned on my faith, which was extremely helpful to me. You know, I trust in God, I trust in Jesus Christ. You know, Lord willing, I knew I was gonna be playing football this year. So I was just excited and patient. You know, I didn't set any expectations. And I just, you know, let it play out how I was gonna play out. And it was just amazing. I couldn't ask for a better experience. And I'm so thankful to be at Tennessee tight. And I, man, words can't put it just. Gerard Robinson.   Yeah, well, my mother was my biggest fan. You know, it could have went a lot different. If she was here, it was a little weird because, you know, I had to be in the room by myself on the couch in front of the camera by myself. But once I got off camera and kind of got to see some of my family members, it was very emotional. You know, I had a great time. It was surreal. Like I said, it was everything I could have asked for, dream for. It was like something out of a movie.  Yeah, I was telling my mother I was gonna be a first round draft pick when I was like seven years old.  Kayla? Hey, Caleb. Welcome to Nashville soon. Of course you're headed this way.  Can you kind of talk about some of those conversations and really how you guys clicked? Cause they just raved about your knowledge and just how they could hold the conversation with you when it comes to the game. Oh yeah, talking to coach, talking to coach, I could tell he was a genuine, honest person and that for me means everything. You know, I'll give him everything I got. For us to be able to sit down and talk a lot of football was easy because we both are in love with the game. And if you bring two people together that's in love and passion about the game of football, you know, we can sit up and talk and never get any sleep. So we hit it off immediately and always had great calls. And that's why I'm just so excited and ecstatic to be a Tennessee Titans. Just a couple more for you, Caleb. Rex Road. Yeah, Caleb, just to clarify that the second procedure, does that still go back to the original lifting injury? Does that sound like a different- Oh yeah, I had both injuries from the original incident. I probably should have got it fixed at the same time, but it didn't play out like that. I'm so glad that it's behind me and I'm a Tennessee Titan. Let's go. Don Gunnen.   I just, I believe it's just, you know, studying that week, coming in prepared, knowing the game plan, and also just being relaxed and trusting in my abilities and my technique. You know, that should take care of itself. Kim Wyatt. Hey, Caleb, you've had to deal with a lot of adversity, a lot of scrutiny, I guess, leading up to this draft. And then of course you're supposed to be in Cleveland, weren't able to go because of COVID. When you look back at everything leading up to you being picked, I mean, is this some of this gonna motivate you moving forward and do you kind of come into the NFL with a little bit of a chip on your shoulder? I've always had a huge chip on my shoulder, so I'll stay motivated until I hang up the cleats. But looking back, I just smile and I thank God because, you know, I never let the devil get me down one time in that process. And this season, you know, I'm gonna reap the benefits for that. Geron. Okay, I believe the procedure you had, that was on the L5, correct? I had to dissect me on L5, L4, and L5, S1. And okay, so you did have a procedure on the bolts in the S1 as opposed to allowing that bolt to go down? Yes, that's what we fixed. Gotcha, thank you.

So a few videos you will be seeing me come up with different designs that I'm trying to see which one. I want to go with if it's a for sure thing I'm doing, but I decided if it's not a for sure thing to go ahead and document it and record it and let you guys watch it because you know what I'm saying? Y'all still want to see me create and watch me work on art, you know what I'm saying? So I decided to go ahead and make it a YouTube video for you guys. Also, I want you to let me know how you feeling what I'm drawing like. If you like it, if you don't like it, if you think it's cool, you think it'll be dope if it was in the laser tag room or leave in the comments or some things you would like to see in the laser tag room, you know what I'm saying? So I can just see what you're saying and add it to my creative juices and create some dope stuff and then you'll feel like you're a part of that because I'll make sure that I got inspired by you in the comments, you'll feel me. I want to thank all you guys for your love and support that you've been giving me because if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't be getting recognition like I do now for what I've been doing my whole life.

The art community has been amazing, man. I got some true creative supporters, all my creative brothers and sisters being showing love to me on the ground, drawing these dope T-World pictures, man. I just think it's so amazing, man, because I'm just a regular dude, man. Ain't nothing special about me. I'm just blessed with a gift, but I'm no different from you. And with that said, if art is your dream or whatever your dream is, man, you can do it because if I can do it and I'm just a regular dude, I know you can do it if you're just a regular man or you're just a regular woman or young lady, y'all can make it happen, man, just believe in yourself, you know what I'm saying? But I want to know what y'all think about this sketch I'm working on for this place.

And if ever you want to come see my artwork, you know what I'm saying?  If you got your kids, bring your kids, and I appreciate y'all for the love and support more heat coming soon, and I'm out this thing.


Yeah, so I think we can start. It's it's 1115 already. So Welcome all. Thank you for coming for my talk building the cloud ecosystem. I Mean from the name, it's it's a huge topic like you could have a whole conference of Developers architects coming and just talking about how ecosystems should look especially clouds and When I'm talking about an ecosystem We want to design something that will solve problems. So the use cases are large as we all know we have been seeing all the Presentations that are happening people are interested people want to solve real world problems enterprise problems and There is a valid need for a cloud ecosystem that can Actually make use of technologies Not read do reinvention of work and solve their use cases at the same time I'll try to figure this up in 35 minutes we'll keep a question answer around at the end of the presentation for like five to ten minutes So we can talk about it one more thing I wanted to mention here is More than how we'll build the ecosystem Something that I want you guys to take more from this is why build an ecosystem like we want to focus more on Why do we want to build invest in these technologies rather than yes also do consider once we figured out that yes We do have a valid use case. We do have a business case for going ahead and building such a system Then go ahead and find it out So my name is Chinmay Briefly about the cloud platform engineering at semantic so we are We're building a consolidated flight cloud platform for our customers internal customers it's a private offering right now and This is to facilitate development of all semantic products and services internally We are growing In the next say a year or so data center footprint for for our internal cloud also going to grow Something about myself. I have been in the cloud space Especially with open stack for like three years now. I had Hadoop experience as well So a lot of distributed computing background and I'm an open source enthusiast I mean that's some of the reason why we are all here open sources the way to go Setting the agenda straight so I'll be talking a little bit about the technology three majorly Which is Docker Kubernetes and Alexi's it is a very hot topic right now But I will give like an honest opinion of what I feel these technologies are Why use them one of the main topics that I want to cover here some of the semantic use cases that actually Require these technologies by me say our evaluation of these technologies like what is it that we Got from when we looked at these technologies What is it that we saw and then what makes an ecosystem and building the ecosystem? This is where I'll be giving out a few guidelines three ecosystems that we have architected and work is still going on on getting these out a summary in a future work and then question and answers So going ahead into what is Kubernetes Alexi's Docker it's not like a deep dive, but just know how so just by rays of hands how many of here are using Docker in their companies right now And these are in production environments and about Kubernetes That's interesting so Few points about what Docker containers are for those who may know those who may not Docker containers ideally is a really good platform for running applications outside of on containers Runs a stripped down version minimal OS when I say this initially Docker was started as a single application so next point being is Services Demons libraries added if only needed what this means is that it started so it runs out of a UFS and It has a core layer the process itself is the in it in a deep process a single application use Doesn't have a proper in it doesn't have cron doesn't have syslog ng if you may know Starts with a minimal one Services Demons and libraries can be added if needed so you can add so It's not needed you need a syslog ng because Docker has Docker logs So you could might as well have your outputs go down to that log and then I have it put into any lock stash or any Kibana kind of a service Single application use but not anymore There have been a lot of blog posts about people kind of fight between Is Docker only used if you have a single application use case or can I run multiple applications the same container? There are ways that you can run multiple applications You can have a system D supervisor D process which runs in as you're in it and then can manage process uptimes Make sure if a process goes down restarts it and stuff So there are ways to run multiple applications on a Docker container right now Based on a UFS as I just said that's the advanced multi-layer Unification file system. So basically everything is a layer in Docker so basically all the layers are read only offer OS and Whatever you write whatever you edit like you change a my sequel version or you do some code change on top it's done on a right only layer which is on top and Once you do a Docker commit it just creates a new image out of it So at the end you end up with these layers that have all the changes in it Makes containers easy to use so this point is more in relation to also later on. There'll be comparisons with LXC's there are a lot of people who Want Docker there are a lot of people who says who say I already have LXC support. Why do I need Docker so? from my perspective Docker has made containers very easy to use Docker has a good client. It has a good CLI system which Developers will find very personally being a developer will find very easy to pick up these command-line tools that they have Instructions that they have So that is one point Quickly going into Kubernetes because we already talked about Docker It's a cluster management for application So this goes from my perspective a level above where Docker is where it goes more into an orchestration of containers Grouping containers and pods and labels. So it's very important concept called as pods where you can group you can group these special containers which form your application and These can be deployed as a group called as pods and you can label these parts. So basically these parts could be deployed around Around machines in your data center and you can figure out based on the labels that you have given to them So it's a very very good way of Cluster management again, you can form these clusters of application servers and then have them Have applications deployed on them Declarative primitives from maintaining desired state. There is certain description that you can Make sure that have an application requires a certain set of components to be up for that application to be running those kinds of primitive self-healing mechanisms, so these are more in terms of Rescheduling or restarting containers if it goes down Maybe even copy it over from one location to another It provides very powerful mechanism to orchestrate containers Keeping your application in mind Talking a little bit about Linux containers itself because Docker initially did start with Using LXE itself. Now they have lip containers, obviously if you guys might be knowing so Linux container kernel containment Uses kernel namespaces as we all know it says it has been around for some time now The user namespace came around At a later stage So initially it started with the PID mount network namespaces but use of C groups to make to have access control on all the resources memory as such and Resource isolation for application. So this is basically Where we use virtual box virtual machines right now So it's it gives you the ability to Containize or isolate your resources for a particular application to use so So having having done that let's just go through some of the why Use these technologies. So this will go more into some of the semantics use cases as well because We since we are building a big Platform for all our internal services. We need to make sure we keep everyone happy When I say everyone happy solve their use cases. So there are use cases all the way from people wanting VMs people wanting containers Let's let's just take a look at some of them, right? So continuous deployment, I think this is one so I was just in a talk before About son where he was talking about all the big things that they're trying to do all the physics problems that they're solving but I think at the baseline of it was One thing trying to enable Scientist trying to enable developers trying to enable whoever is trying to build the product that your company is for like what your business runs on So I think this is one use case. It's not just for semantic But I think everyone wants everyone wants that fancy one button click that Helps a developer deploy his code into staging right into production. So provide standardized environments. This is where I think Containers help a lot You want the same environment to be used by all developers in your team or all scientists in your in your son lab or whatever Seamless deployment packaging across platforms. You have Multiple cloud deployments. You will have multiple staging environments. You have qa's You want to be able to reduce the time required for running something on from like a developers laptop to something that runs On a qa box where the qa is run You have something in staging which is pre-prod and then you run into production So you want to minimize this so for that you need a similar Deployment and packaging across platforms that we have and then the test ones deploy many model so to be able to guarantee that if you were to test something in One particular environment that if this code now goes into like ten different data centers That you have already deployed with it will run there. So it's like you test it in one environment You don't have to test it ten times again to deploy it in ten different data centers. So that's more of a point So this is one thing we really want The next is worse an upgrade. So with the whole open stack going with a six-monthly release cycle Upgrades is something that is very important because the thing is people have started using We we started using since Havana right now in opens I think even before there was I think it's a small POC with grizzly, but upgrading is Can be a hassle especially when your scale grows when you have many data centers It you have to be up and the whole thing of staying on the on the master on the on the Master branch it requires you to have a good amount of CI CD and then a policy figured out to how you will do upgrades So different versions of applications deployed on a single node. So this would I would like to use this in terms of a Control plane upgrade like so there are many ways of doing upgrades of control planes You can do an in-place control plane upgrade You can have a parallel control plane setup or you could use containers What you could do is on the same host which is running say your Havana No, our scheduler service if that is containerized you can have an ice house container with Ice house code base in it sitting in the same host and then you could do version switching between these on the day of the upgrade so seamless switching between containers and minimizing downtime so to be able to make sure that the Switching between and the whole upgrade process doesn't take a lot of time Ease of rollbacks during deployment failure This is also another thing if you have two containers sitting on the same machine You'll be able to seamlessly do a rollback So version upgrades is a very good use case that we are looking forward to solve Performance intensive applications in semantic there are various Applications that we see few require very data intensive fewer CPU intensive require a lot of data crunching and stuff So we want to make sure our performances are near bare metal speeds Faster boot up times which again goes to comparison between VMs and containers So I mean these use cases I think you might be getting a general feel that you require everything you require VMs for some things You require containers for some things you would require even bare metal notes for some some of these use cases resource isolation benefits of VMs so So So I mean you can see that point two and point three Requires so you need resource isolations of VMs what VMs provide but at the same time you need faster boot up time So your answer is slowly going towards containers. So Again to this point there have been people in in the company itself walking up to us and trying to say that you know, there was this code deployed on one of the machines and They had they thought that next day morning when they show up that the same application set is gonna stay as is untouched But they realized that someone some DevOps engineer Someone went at in the night and then they changed some setting in in the base in the base Compute node and then that destroyed their setting or they lost something on their part So this is something where they wanted like if they can have like a snapshot of something like again going back to docker containers I think they were saying that why don't we evaluate docker containers wherein if they had snapshot at their state and They did not care about what happened to the base and base engine of the base Compute node if they came back the next day, they figured out something had changed it just redeploy the container back in again and then they are It's like they did not find that something had gone amiss So this is one of the use cases that we want to make sure we handle overlays in SDN is another thing wherein we have a use case where we have applications deployed in a VM and they need to talk to applications deployed in bare metal nodes and What is happening is so the SDN solution that we are using so the vrouter setup that it has The VMs are sitting in only networks and for the VM to talk to a bare metal Which is in the underlay network it has all every packet has to go through an external gateway routers and that can get very expensive When the number of packets go up So what we thought instead is that since the bare metal application requires something some performance Gains of a bare metal why not use a container there have Overlay network plugged into the container and now you're talking about two Machines on the same only network talking to each other. So that's one of the Gains that we will find in terms of performance when you when we start using containers instead of bare metal nodes for some of our applications increase latency on traffic Some of the other use cases. I think so remote failure debugging. I don't think we have an immediate need for this But yes, it's a very powerful tool to have because you want to know if something goes bad in your production Your developers will be able to fix it and the first thing that a developer always ask is can I reproduce this and the answer that you normally give is Try to set it up in QA environment The whole docker containers the whole use of snapshotting of containers and trying to give an exact replica of that Environment is like a really useful thing and of course image management. So glance is currently helping us with our image management But we need it to be on like a larger scale. So there's a lot of images that are getting created Where can Kubernetes help? So some of the use cases that I'm going to talk about with Kubernetes itself is So container orchestration and application deployment tools. So since this is a very good application level orchestrator Lot of developers can make use of this when I say that it can be used to Deploy say small Hadoop development clusters or even say open stack clusters for developers to make sure that they can do internal development in manage flex up and flex down requirements and Flex the flex down is is a very key concept of cloud because that's what makes things really elastic so Trying to use resources when you need and give them away when you don't so flex up flex down is a very important thing That can be there are people who try to write applications on top of heat To make sure that they can do some cluster management and then make sure that if Based on telemetry if the user is not there just Reprovision them to someone else, but then people net us all that for you Hadoop and big data use case. So this is one big use case inside semantic itself because semantic runs a lot of Data crunching dot of lot of pattern matching and that is done on our Hadoop clusters which are trying to use our open stack infrastructure for IAS solution so Helping them out is one of a major use case for us and I see a lot of gains where Kubernetes can help deploy say like say like Control cluster lean when I say control cluster you can have a job tracker It's a small cluster for her hoops puns pun up on the infrastructure say so you have a tenant Development and say for example and then you have safe for compute nodes Say one of them you can make you can deploy a job tracker task on it You can have task trackers on all the other compute nodes and it's like a small development environment and it can be Increased ahead. I mean need not stay at a development level It could go to like a production environment. You can actually manage Hadoop Cluster using Kubernetes maybe if you are running out of if you're running this out of containers So that's a pretty interesting thought there Monitoring and tooling again. I think even the Kubernetes guys They say that they're not just container orchestrators. They do much more beyond which is like stuff like self-healing and stuff They are like a lot of monitoring processes that make sure that your containers don't go down In the current cloud world with the whole open stack You have to come up with an external monitoring service. What that means is if your VM goes down. There is either a Separate alert that goes on and then you need to make sure that you fix it So Kubernetes helps that so why not leverage something like that if you have container use cases So going into the next section is what it's not about in-depth Analysis of what these are but a few callouts that we think are very important when we want to go forward and building the the entire ecosystem that solves everything that we just talked about right so Using open stack so I did not explain open stack because obviously we all know what it is here What have we got used to so when we have been using open stack for the past one year or one and a half years for now There are a few things there are a few good things that we want to carry forward when we try to build our ecosystem And those are basically tenantizing of resources so we Want resource isolation and we want them to be owned by specific tenants So it's it's a very important concept that keeps the open stack cloud right now going It's a very important principle that we want to go take forward in whatever ecosystem we build We want token-based secure access to everything. We don't want people to just SSH onto a box and start using it just because it's there Ecosystem of amazing as a service capabilities, so that's what open stack has given us the whole notion of any any service that can be That can be looked at as a that can be front-ended by a good rest API Called on a token basis called on a need per basis and then it does whatever it needs to do I know I know I need not bother about what needs to happen in there So like glance takes care of kids takes care of images for me like neutron takes care of Networking for me. So we want those capabilities. We want to keep that structure and of course virtualization LXC's and bare metal. So these are like the three things that we want to take forward the VMs containers and bare metals Going into a bit of discussion. So again a lot of blogs about the whole Docker versus LXC I won't don't say a fight But then why use Docker when you have LXC is that kind of a conversation, but My personal viewpoint here would be Docker is equivalent to orchestrating LXC's Templatized way of orchestrating containers a docker file from my perspective is a heat template very similar to heat template You can specify a lot of things In terms of what goes into a container what kind of process runs on it Maintaining snapshots of LXC containers in a glance Against docker images. So this is another so We are assuming right now that a company or someone has open stack has glance deployed and you could have an LXC container using your LXC driver inside NOAA and then snapshot it have the image saved in glance But this system is given to you directly by docker. So docker internally just works on this principle of Snapshotting layers. So it's it's a it's a very Interesting thought there and a little bit more about this is so LXC containers can be nested AUFS is nice to have but is it needed like you can have the AUFS way of doing things Very new layer on you have copy on right, but there are a few advantages disadvantages I'm not sure if the Docker community has already worked on it, but there was recently a bug that Went through and then like you run into a lot of layers So if you would like to in select layer say 10 you were to install one version of my sequel And then later on you were you try to do another Version of what you do an upgrade you still have the bunch of layers that are there So there is like a set limit on which you can so your size of the image can grow So you don't want that to be happening. So it's not always necessary. You would want an AUFS kind of a of a solution This is another thing so the configuration drift so puppet to manage configuration. So would you want your Your configuration management to be done by puppet when you go into a container So for that you would want a classic LXC container, which is a standard and it's already always there and then you have puppet to manage configuration inside it or Docker diff would do everything and then any state that needs to be maintained can be done in a volume Using containers with Docker is more user-friendly. So I think we have just covered this point before so these are some of the things that we kept in mind before going forward with What we want to do and then technology cost is also a very important thing You just don't want to go on adding technology stacks after stacks because it requires a certain amount of cost it goes through a lot of Monitoring it has you have put you have to put two links and stuff around it So there is a certain amount of cost that goes into it Making it user aware and user friendly like I can put in throw in a cuban at a stack And then just ask my developers that you start using this It's not going to be that easy at the start So you need to make sure that this happens when you are choosing a technology Impact to availability and will it scale out? So availability is another thing that you need to make sure it's taken care of like when you spin up a cuban It is cluster. You need to make sure that the cluster stays up Same with open stack. So these are some of the very learned cost Parameters that you need to make sure that you are making Note off Will it be how will it be monitored like the current setup that you have for monitoring your open stack cluster would be the same To monitor say for your cuban it is cluster would be same for monitoring your Docker Installations so there is a lot of things that go in and then security impact So security impact is very crucial when you talk about VMs or when you talk about containers the whole Thing of no more conductors where we want to make sure that people don't have access to the database directly from the compute nodes So these are all security related stuff Even about containers like right before user namespaces if if i'm a root inside Inside a container. I might even get access as a root inside the host So some of those things need to be made sure before you embrace any technology Very very very key points that We need to make sure So what makes an ecosystem right? Some of the points that I want to talk so the normal definition is a biological community of interactive organisms and physical environments Every component serves a distinguished purpose and solves a use case uniquely So this again goes back to the as a service point that we had that you need to make sure that You only add something when it has some value or uniquely distinguished value Coexistence without interaction if it serves the purpose It's not necessarily to make two technologies talk to each other if they are solving your use cases staying alone It is completely fine to run them different if if you there is no way to figure out how to run Kubernetes with heat or with open stack then it's fine. You can have a separate Infrastructure that's running your kubernetes clusters and a separate infrastructure that is running your open stack cluster And harnessing all the goodness together and open stack is a perfect example of an ecosystem which is already in place So so some of the so as I said mentioned before so i'm going to talk about three Designs that we came up with and we are currently working on them based on Which one gets our use cases solved immediately? so the first one that we Trying to go through is with morano in heat morano is You could even call it as it's doing a lot of workflow related an application level Orchestrator So it can get us integration with keystone. So that solves our tenetizing of resources uh application catalog for defining complex workflows So it has a concept of an application catalog wherein you have these application resources that can be reused by developers So there's a whole description that you can provide as to what goes into running an application What is required to deploy it? What is required to keep borders deployed? What is required to? Describe its availability So something similar to say like my application requires say it's going to require to My sql instances it's going to require one say a web server one say back in Node so you can specify that yes if one my sql server goes down Make sure that you spin up another one or just make an alert that the application cannot run Autoscaling and self healing features are there inside morano very similar to kubernetes Integrated it has a ui That is integrated with horizon. So we tried to test that out as well And then obviously it has a open stack project development life cycle which we can make use of The the whole ecosystem would generally look like this. So keeping in mind our use cases where you want to solve Having vms having containers would be this so we would want Keystone to be authenticating with morano itself and then the morano api is what something will feed the application templates to Uh morano will be talking to heat And then we can have container templates specified directly through heat also So no one says that you can't use heat directly anymore And then a docker plugin which the heat ecosystem already has right now can be used to orchestrate Vms and containers And then morano itself then can have the rabbit mq to talk to the morano agent to make sure the correct applications are deployed on those Either a vm or a container. So this is something that morano We have tested out with but Containers we are still in the process of making sure if the morano agent can be put inside a container itself And this container obviously can be a docker container with the right base image setup So it's it's not be should not be a single application docker container Uh, this is another thing that we need to test out If we can put something inside a bare metal node itself If we can install the morano agent inside this and then have morano Kind of know what applications are running inside So this is one very realistic approach that we are currently investigating inside our Inside semantic so containers as a service. So this is the whole magnum project. So I do not want to speak a lot about this but then it's very promising at least for me There have been a lot of discussions about this whether to take this forward and how to I think on Thursday, there'll be a design session talking about it So make sure you attend to me to have your use cases on it So clusters can be isolated put tenant domain again Exposes its own cli and maybe a scheduling logic. So it requires gant Unless an until gant comes into play I don't know what's the plan for scheduling logic inside it And use of aggregates to isolate computes for container use cases This is one of what I want to propose to the to the magnum community Easier integration. So let's take a look at The diagram itself, right? So again the same thing. So we want heat to be on top So I think one of the points that I missed on this slide was Easier integration, but should it orchestrate so container as a service will solve Some of the use cases like trying to get your containers into the container as a service Service, but then should do you want it to orchestrate? So you're going to miss all the goodness of the orchestration of Murano and the Kubernetes which is coming up in the third diagram But in this case you so I've just kept a heat module on top Which will actually do some sort of orchestration. You can even put Murano on top of this I'm not sure if you will require some special things for heat to talk to Contain as a service directly, but then again the same thing being is GAN scheduler This is still not completely in in in practice And again same with compute nodes having VMs having LXC containers if Contain as a service what to be my recommendation for them would be to have solved both They have the LXC driver and the Docker driver as well And then there is a there is one small Recommendation that I have is of a resource pool scheduler wherein what can happen is Through heat you would want NOAA to till till the time GAN scheduler comes into play. This is so you can have NOAA API Dedicate compute nodes just for container use cases and then using a special API inside containers provide this Set of computes to the container as a service and it can do resource scheduling within that pool of computes so Not sure if this will get implemented But this solution is more of like in like a really research research phase So let's see what happens with this and then this is the more realistic and maybe Another similar to Murano where we can actually do some testing inside this Using heat and heat to provision VMs that run Kubernetes components Integration with Keystone docker driver for heat Template categorization VMs and containers looking at the image So in this model so even talking back about the Hadoop use case that we had initially right so this kind of solves that problem so wherein you have Heat which is doing a central orchestration and you have these kubernetes cluster template You have docker container template and open stack VM template. So I'll talk about this plugin later. It's not there yet But maybe something that we can contribute What this means is When say let's talk about the kubernetes example right so when you were to set up a kubernetes cluster inside My compute nodes so say for example, there is a tenant say in in our case There is a Hadoop tenant who wants to have like a small Hadoop cluster setup inside So you can have a tenant spin up a kubernetes So the kubernetes system would require the master components This is like a very high level thing and then it would require the minions which would which will actually run the pods So you can have heat templates written so that it can spin up these VMs and these could be VMs or these could be Bare metals or it could be containers inside which a kubernetes master process can be run There are different ways actually to do this. I think the core os guys have come up with A good solution for this variant you can have I think the etcd Demon which which makes sure that When minions are added they get added back into kubernetes cluster But the the reason for the kubernetes plugin was that if later tomorrow in this system You were to add one more compute node if you were to add a minion to that system How would the master get to know that it has a There are various ways of doing it a kubernetes plugin driver which can talk directly to the To the system which is installed to make sure that when new minions are added they get added to this System and then you can have the rest of the use cases also solved So you can have say if you don't want kubernetes to manage your docker demons docker containers for some reason You could have heat do directly through the docker plugin so Again, I think the the the so some of the similar technologies as I just mentioned so core os and etcd system d fleet Is doing a good job at that. So we are trying to evaluate that as well Open shift and crowbar very similar mesosphere running on top of apache mesos. It's doing very similar things and cola is also one so To talk about things right, so I think we touched about a lot of technologies here and Again as at the start of the talk when I said it's not just about how but also why There are Five different ways of solving a problem Always you there's no one single thing that you want to put your point on You can write blogs hate blogs about not liking one technology Not trying to say that yes, then elixies is the way to go. I don't need docker anymore I would want to put A viewpoint on this is if it solves the problem then use it It's not about technology is not about It doesn't get you to where you have it's just an enabler So if you can find the right stack for you If you can find the right ecosystem keeping in mind that all the costs are taken care of And if it solves your use cases, then that's the way to go Some guidelines to keep in mind again of what I just said use cases comes first solution follows Don't come up with the technology and then try to find a use case for it So make sure that you have a list of all use cases inside your organization Well-defined rest apis are cool when integrating services Each technology choice that you make I would say make sure that it is front-ended by a cube like by a very clear rest apis services Which you can call again the point being is you want services to make sure that they do some use case all some use case uniquely Uh technologies are better used separately sometimes That's again one point and operation on security costs of running such an ecosystem. So like I mean I need not explain this Not to reinvent the wheel again, there are a lot of people trying to do a lot of things like I see kubernetes doing very similar things to what core cube is doing to what you can enable with Something like morano to what you can do with apachi mesos with mesosphere Choices is still with you guys But then make sure that when you do evaluations like the three choices that we have we have Narrowed down it from like a huge range of choices So we want to make sure again the goodness light that we went through What have we got used to and what is it that we want to carry forward when we Are doing going to do our technology choices And usability aspect. Yes keep it simple Make sure that your developers do want to use what you have built There's no point building something that people are not going to use or find it very difficult to start using Some of the future work that we want to work on right now after having talked about this is the performance analysis of this I know I had a point on the summary that I was going to talk but we did not have enough time to come up with this So maybe in the next six months we'll have a complete performance analysis picture Specific driver developments some of the driver developments that I just Pointed out there. So we might want to do those like even the container service project We might look at it and try to provide some help in that And the service is deployed and managed at a regional and a global level So we don't want to be at a one data center at a time. We want to make sure that services Can be run at a regional level. So that is one thing we want to do when designing And open source collaboration contribution as I just talked about we want to make sure that we do this to have So, uh, thank you. That's that's all I do you have any questions?


What about just the process of getting here to Nashville to be with the Titans?  And just talking to the coaches, being here, being around, just feeling the energy of, you know, the new staff and the new guys in the building. No, it's not like it's not like places where you go and, you know, they've been there 10, 15, 15 years and it kind of gets like going through the motion.  How much do you think about that and is there any extra pressure on you? For me, personally, not at all. All I'm focused on is coming in and being the best meter I can be this year.  Do you think you would be effective in that role? And was that something you kind of thought about years ago? Just keeping the mindset of, you know, controlling what you can control and making the most of my opportunities and, you know, just making them count. I mean, we haven't really wanted to have specifics or things like that, but, you know, I'm coming in, expecting to help, you know, trying to contribute to the team's success. You weren't out on the market very long. Did you enjoy the free agency process? It was a little stressful, but I'm glad I'm not on the market anymore. You know, I'm glad I found a home and ready to get to work. I mean, I've definitely grown throughout my years being in the league in all areas, you know, and running the ball in between the tackles or pass protection, catching the ball out of the backfield, just getting a better IQ of the game and just letting things slow down and come to me naturally.  So just trying to... A one-two combo pretty much your entire career you would seek in Dallas and now you're coming here to pair with Tajé and all. What is that mindset like when you know you're sharing carries with another guy in the backfield every week? I mean, it's the same way it's been for me since day one, you know, control what you control and make the most of your opportunities and when you get them, make them count. So just keeping that same mindset. You kind of touched on it already, but coming back to Tennessee, is that something you'd always kind of wanted to do and maybe how special it is to be back in the state when you have family here? Um, I mean, it was just like perfect timing. Everything just worked out the way it should and, you know, me being from Memphis, born and raised in Memphis, went to the University of Memphis. So I'm very familiar with the area. Got a lot of family out here. So it was just... It made sense for me to be here, be home. You grew up watching the Titans? I did. Who were you guys? I was big on Eddie George, Chris Johnson, you know, seeing those two guys. For you, you know, a fresh start and obviously spending time in Dallas at a very different franchise. And you said you're excited about the energy here. What specifically with the offense and that what Brian Callahan kind of told you about what they're doing here excited you and what they're going to do with this offense specifically? I mean, just talking to him, getting the feel for, you know, what he wants to do and how he likes to do things this year. You know, he's supposed to be going after some O-line thing like that, you know, building the O-line up. We got great coaches, a great O-line coach. So, you know, I'm definitely looking forward to the experience, you know. What do you think about the Ridley addition here lately too? Big. That was a big time for us. You come to Matt Levis and you pay much attention to him already in his career? Your new quarterback? Yeah, he's definitely a good competitor. You know, a great competitor, a dog on the field. He's one of those guys that, you know, he makes it easy for you to play for.  Coming back from the ankle sprain and leg fracture, your numbers last year just continue to get better later in the year. How much more confidence does that give you heading into this season being further removed from that injury? I mean, that's big. You know, any big injury that guys have, it normally takes a year. You know, that second year is when you see the comeback around and see guys get to the true form.  For Titans fans, some of what you may not have watched, you know, many Cowboys games, what are they getting with you? They're getting a playmaker, an explosive guy on the field, home run threat, and they're getting a competitor. The text messaging about the runner backs, do you feel you guys have reset the market this year? I mean, that's something that I say is kind of behind me at this point, you know, the deal is done, we've signed, and you know, I'm ready to get to work at this point. What is it like if you've been the same team throughout junior football, or what is it like coming to a new team now knowing you have to kind of establish yourself again, not only with your team-age coaches, fan base, and all of that? It's a little different, but you know, I kind of like it.   So that's how I look at things, you know, with a fresh start, a chance to do things over. You know, I'm ready to just make the most of the opportunities and just show what I can do. And you kind of touched on coming back home again. You got your mom here, watching the pressure. How big has she been as part of your career and how neat to have her here and maybe having family be able to watch her play moving forward? Yeah, I'm very big on family, you know, having my family around and just being able to play closer to family and having them being, having a chance to come to more games. You know, that was big for me. You know, that was big in my decision-making and me being here now. Are you surprised you're showing up here? Do you know that was coming? No, we talked it through. Did you get a chance to go see Coach Eddie Woods? Well, I haven't seen him yet. No, I haven't. Appreciate that. Obviously, aside from the money, what were some of the factors that brought you here? What do you like? Biggest factor, Bill Callahan. His resume speaks for itself. Coached a lot of great guys. Heard a lot of great things about him. So I think it's a good opportunity for me to continue to grow my game and take that next step as a player. I guess, Senator, obviously a natural leader on the field. I mean, how excited are you about kind of taking over that role here with this team and maybe how will you establish yourself early on? Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. First of all, I just want to come in and show these guys what type of work I am. Not really a huge talker off the field, but I just want to establish, you know, make sure these guys know I'm a hard work and just show what type of player I am and lead these guys by example. How important is it for you to be part of the culture reset that's got to take place on this offensive line with the struggles that they've had the last couple of years? That's big.  Just having a good culture, having a good room, a good group of guys that's willing to play for each other. And that's what I look forward to, you know, trying to build. How do you go about building that? First of all, like I just mentioned, showing these guys the type of work ethic I have and establishing that, because that's what it's going to take for us to get to the level we need to get to. What do you know about Will Leviss and have you had any chats with him since joining the team? Text him yesterday. I know a little bit about him. Just seeing him on social media and throughout last season. He's just a complete competitor. He's a tough guy. It seems like a tough guy to play for. So looking forward to work with him. Tony just crossed paths. I guess what were your thoughts about him? Have you met Tajah yet? And what do you think about that running back team that you'll be fighting for? Haven't met Tajah yet. I know Tony Paola now. Exposed back just seeing him. What he did in Dallas. So looking forward to blocking for him. Part of the recruiting process for you, was he? That was big. Got a chance to talk to Ethan Postick, former center in Cleveland. He's telling me a lot about it. A lot about him. He raved about him. And like I say, it's just an opportunity that I feel like he can take me to the next level. What is it about him? We hear it's almost like a mystique thing since he was hired. Can you give specifics about why guys rave about him and what he brings? He's very detailed. When you get a chance to talk to him, it's just a different level of offensive line play that he kind of unlocks. It's a lot that goes into this game that we're playing. Like I said, his resume speaks for itself. That detail you mentioned, where there are a lot of similarities. I know it's limited conversation, but in that it's compared to when you played under Mike Munch at. Yeah, yeah, some similarities. Coach Munch was amazing. And I see a lot of similar teachings that Callahan presented. So, yeah, I mean, look forward to working with him. You had mentioned as a rookie, it was kind of rough for you. You said the person that year too, and now you signed a record-setting deal for the position. What was really behind like being able to make that transition from struggling to now? Well, I think we just mentioned Coach Munch. I feel like coming in, he gave me a great foundation. He helped me lay a great foundation of fundamentals. I feel like since that point, like I said, I've struggled my rookie every year. I've gotten better every year. I've taken a step. And that's what I want to continue to do. Take a bigger step each year. But every single year, I've gotten better, man, and started off with a good foundation. What is the next step for you? Just hopefully a guy that's a consistent anchor, a guy that can be looked as one of the best centers in this league. How important do you think past protection is going to be with the Bryan Callahan offense? And how well do you think you do that? It appears to be one of your strengths. Well, I think that's important for any offense. We've got to give guys time to make plays. We've got to give a quarterback time to get the ball to our playmakers, the guys we've got coming in. So that, along with the run game, I mean, it's all important. What are the Titans getting in? Sadiq Charles, who was your college teammate at LSU? Very versatile guy. Has a complete guard, tackle, anything you need him to do. Great locker room guy, great personality. Can do it all. You know the guys on this team, how familiar are you with other players that we've made the cross pass with? I was in college with Arden Key my first two years. So I know him, great personality, a lot of energy. Yeah, yeah. So I know Arden, that's about it. I played against a few guys in college. So just looking forward to meeting everyone else. What was the thought process when free agency started and knowing you'd be coming to a new team and now that you're here, what's that like as you kind of started new? Looking forward to it, man.  And this opportunity presented itself. I'm just glad I'm here. Like Ran and Coach Calhann and maybe the culture that's kind of starting to build here, hope to build? Yeah, the energy is amazing. You can walk throughout the building, man. A lot of people smiling and came ready to get this thing rolling and set this culture for the future. Did you pay attention at all to the perception that maybe the Titans have struggled on the offensive line? Was that something that motivated you and wanted to come here and turn things around? No, not really. I feel like I guess as a reason they reached out to me, it was a need and with all the other factors because Calhann, the things they got going felt like it was the right spot. About being here right out of the gate. I'm really excited. This was actually a team I did a pre-drive visit coming out in 2017, so I'm a little familiar with the area and just seeing a lot of energy in the building, a lot of the guys that I met today, coaches, staff. Everybody just has a smile on their face. I'm really happy, so I feel like I'm a fit in. What do you think you're bringing to this team and how do you describe your style of play? I'm a competitive guy, really physical technician and I think I'm a brother. I've always been a part of a brotherhood or a team, been able to excel in a locker room and a culture of winning. So when that's the standard, which I feel like it is here, I feel like they get the best of me. So I'm really excited to implement what I have and also to earn the respect of everybody in the building. That's my number one goal at first. How much did Denard Wilson, like how much of a role did he play in getting you here? He's a renowned defense coach. Yeah, DB codes, DB background, defensive coordinator. We've spoken briefly already today too. Just really excited to get to work with him, someone who has a lot of experience in the game and the staff that is here as well, the defensive staff, as well as the offensive staff, but mainly the defensive staff I've met today. Everybody just, I can just see it in their eyes. They're ready to get things rolling, so it's giving me a lot of juice. You mentioned offensive staff, how early, yeah. You mentioned the offensive staff. How early did Brian Callahan reach out to you and in this process? When it was legal. Yeah. Yeah. When it comes to... How much of a relationship did you have with Brian in Cincinnati even though he was on the other side of the ball? Oh man, a great relationship. We did a lot of great things together over there. Obviously as a team and when you make it that far, we all become family. So Coach Callahan definitely has all my respect and seeing how, I always ask him questions on the side. Sometimes me, Jamar, TNTB will be warming up on the ladder and Coach Callahan will be standing right there and sometimes we have small conversations here and there. So a lot of respect and probably the number one reason, if not the biggest reason, I'm here right now. So really appreciative of him. A lot of people in Cincinnati. And also, did that make a difference too with the relationship you had with him? Definitely. So I think I played a lot of good ball under Coach Jackson and seeing him being added to this staff. I was really excited to be able to replicate and kind of pick up where we left off, to elevate again and make another great leap. When it comes to the leadership aspect of your game, a lot of people in Cincinnati said you were that guy. And how much pride do you take in that? I know you're new here to Tennessee, but that's a younger defensive backs room. How do you plan to bring that and incorporate that? I think the number one thing again is just earn and respect, you know. Doing what I have to do on the field, in the meter room, you know, get on my body right and letting people see that first. And then, you know, when it's time to speak or to pick my spots, you know, do that. And, you know, at the end of the day, I'm just being myself, you know. So if you're around me, I like to push people, you know. And I hope to be pushed as well. So that's the culture that we're going to try to, that I'm going to try to bring here is just, you know, one that, you know, we're all competing, but in a healthy manner, you know, to make sure that we're all getting the best out of each other. Aggressive attacking defense. You said it, you have that in Cincinnati. It's something to Nard Wilson said he wants to have here. What does that mean to you? That means that aggressive in our approach, you know, leave no stone unturned. You know, any question that we have in the meter room, you know, let's not leave this meter room without, you know, fireworks flying.  Have uncomfortable conversations on the field as well. You know, obviously, I think that speaks for itself. You know, so football is a physical sport.  So I definitely want to be the attacker. So yeah, how much you paid attention to what else this team has done in free agency? Not just the guys are here today, but the more guys are coming aboard and how, how much does that maybe excite you? Oh, it's very exciting. You know, TP, obviously a guy I play with in Dallas.  So I got to talk to him a little bit. You know, just a lot of a lot of great energy around here. Kenneth also trains in Dallas met him, you know, when he signed too. So it's like, okay, this is, this is I'm already getting familiar with this place a little bit. So everything that's going on is very exciting and I could sense the energy as soon as I got to Nashville. What did you learn about yourself last year coming off the injury and just how tough was that process for you kind of getting back to strength? Oh, I mean, I learned how resilient I am. I kind of, you know, that's kind of who I am.  And I think I, you know, did a great job of that. You're all the way back to where you were before the injury now? For sure. You talk about the energy in the building, what's just kind of the intrigue about a new regime and a new opportunity in a place that is clearly spending the money to try to turn around quickly? Yeah, it means that it matters, right?    And when you see that and you see the effort put in, I don't know how a player can't understand that the winning is the goal here. So that's what we're going to try to do. And just for the record, would you migrate? Just call me Cheeto Bear. No, so the name is Cheeto Bear. I was yeah. If you want to say it in the English language, just Cheeto Bear. I was yeah. And in my language, it's I was yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Too many, man. That's why it's just Cheeto or Chee, it's easy. Yeah. All right, appreciate it. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. The last September, do you think it maybe ran and Chad Brinker were taking some notes that day? Maybe. That definitely was a big day. It was, it was fun to do it. The opportunity here, Kenneth, they lost the disease and for agency and a couple of the guys too. Is that one of the things that you need to hear? Yeah, absolutely. I just feel like being here, the energy here has been immaculate. I think this place is up and coming. And I just want to be a part of something special, building something special, and winning some football games. And I think I can come here and be dynamic. And I'm really looking forward to that.  Yeah, absolutely. I think those things in my attributes definitely benefit from being on attacking, fast defense, just flying around. I think that's what I do best. And so I'm really looking forward to that. Had great conversation with the coaches this morning. And really excited looking forward to coming here, getting after it. And just creating a great culture and playing some really, really good defense. And how about working with an OG in the linebacker game, like Frank Bush, having him as a coach? Yeah, absolutely. He definitely is an OG. Been learning a little bit about him, had a chance to sit down and talk with him this morning. And so he's been a guy that's super energetic. And I'm looking forward to definitely getting in the room, getting after it, and seeing what I need to work on to get better and just becoming the best version of myself. How do you think your career's gone at this point? And maybe what makes you think you're on the verge of maybe even doing more? Yeah, I definitely think I'm a guy on the rise. I think everybody's journey is different. I think my story may not have had the storybook story that people may have wanted. I came out and had some ups and some downs. And I think after this past season I was able to put together and showcase my abilities. And I think you expect more of that in the future. I just feel like I was definitely more of a confident player, being more of a confident player. The first few years I had some injuries that I dealt with. And just getting back to myself, when I play with that confidence, when I play with that fire, I think I'm definitely one of the best guys. How would you describe your play that's your best, your style? Fast and physical, period. Fast and physical. I think that's what I bring to the table. A guy that's able to get to the ball with a nasty attitude. A guy that can make plays all over the field. You said that, I guess, when the team comes after you early in free agency, is there a sense that, hey, I want to prove these guys right? And maybe how much interest did they show when you're right out of the gate to Titans? I think my mindset is obviously to come in and be the best version of myself. Come in and just showcase who I am. And I think me being that would be enough. I know what I bring to the table. I know that I have the ability to be the guy in the middle. And I look forward to doing that, improving that every day.  And you kind of refer to this team as being that as well. It's like an up and coming team. Do you think there's kind of a culture fit there for a team that's looking to kind of come into a new era and build a competitive roster with a big opportunity for yourself? Absolutely. I mean, obviously, I love to compete. And so being able to come to a team like this, we're building something special. And I definitely want to be a part of that. And if you said coming here, the energy has been immaculate. You used that word. What if the Titans may be done to give you kind of that feeling? Just being around them this morning, man. You can just feel it from everybody here. It's definitely a great, great vibe. Everybody's excited to be here. And so when you get that vibe from everybody, not just the coaches, but the staff, the equipment staff, the medical staff, it's just amazing. Obviously, we're building something here. We're just getting started. And so I'm looking forward to putting it all together and going out there and winning some games. How many guys you know on this team played with in the past, played against it? You may have considered about his years? Not too many, honestly. Obviously, I've played against a bunch of different guys, but nobody really personally that I know. But I look forward to getting to know everybody. Is that kind of exciting for you just to have all this newness, like a reset in a way? You're on a different time zone. You're in the different part of the country. Is that just exciting for you to kind of push the reset? Yeah, absolutely. Obviously, being in a new environment, a new state, new team, I'm just looking forward to coming in and just showing who I am every day. Have you had the opportunity to think about a New Jersey number yet, by chance? You do have the chance? I know. Yeah, I know K9 is not gonna be existing anymore. Obviously, because of the late, great Steve McNair. But yeah, I've taken some things into consideration. And so we're going down that journey right now. And when we figure it out, you guys will know. Can I take Kenneth and come get a three down linebacker? And what are the most important things about being a coverage guy? Yeah, I take a streamer amount of pride in that. I think with my ability, I can play every down. I take pride in being on the field at all times and being a general. I think, aside from the athletic ability, aside from running around, flying around, hitting. I truly do believe I'm a general. I'm able to get everybody lined up, able to know the ins and outs of the defense. And I take tremendous pride in that. You should get much time here, other than maybe playing the game. Maybe here in Nashville before. What are your thoughts about Nashville? Nashville, so far it seems beautiful. Beautiful place to be. Seems like everybody here loves being here. Unfortunately, I've only been here for a game. And so I'm looking forward to exploring the city. What's your favorite type of food? My favorite type of food. That's a hard one, because I like so much. But I'd probably say like, I don't know, pizza, I'm a simple guy. But I'm looking forward to trying some Nashville barbecues. So I'm looking forward to trying that. Barbecue and hot chicken. Yeah. I got to. Country music guy? A little bit. I've gotten cultured a little bit over the years. You know, at first, you know, I was really, I weren't really a country guy, but you know, Tennessee whiskey goes a long way.  Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. Thanks.


In order to function optimally, humans need to obtain between 70 and 80% of their calories from an energy source, carbohydrates or fat. Seeing as humans have subsisted primarily off of animal foods for hundreds of thousands of years, it makes sense that this energy source is largely animal fat. And when we look at the habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, various indigenous groups, it becomes very clear that they had preferences for specific fatty parts of the animal, as well as organ meats in some cases. Today we are going to take a look at three cuts, navel belly, aka beef belly, what some people know more as bacon, as bacon is made from pork belly. We're going to take a look at chuck roll, as well as short rib. Cuts that usually aren't too expensive, but are predisposed to having a high fat percentage. And this is because grain-fed animals, regardless of the cut, tend to have more fat deposits that animals naturally used to never have. Wild game animals and grass-fed cattle carry fat in certain parts. It's not natural to have the level of marbling that we see in rib-eye steaks. Normally the brisket, the short rib, the belly, the kidneys, that's where animals naturally store fat. That's why we are looking to offer these cuts at Frankie's Free Range Meat. If you guys haven't checked out frankiesfreerangemeat.com, you guys will be able to pre-order fatty beef boxes that will be reminiscent of what I am showing you guys today. So let's take a look. A lot of people are familiar with short ribs. Short ribs are great because regardless of what type of animal it is, it always has a nice layer of fat, usually one layer by the bone and one layer on top.  They usually come like this. You can always trim this bone out fairly easily, but we're just going to throw this on the grill as is. This is a pretty good portion size, approximately half a pound. This is beef belly. This is about three to four pounds of beef belly. And belly has a very specific fat deposits as well as muscle meat deposits depending on where it comes from. The belly is a huge part of the animal and there is a huge variance. So sometimes, as you see on the end here, the belly can be pure fat and other times, the belly can almost be pretty lean. It can be almost all muscle meat. So what we're going to be looking to do is portion this into reasonable sizes. Maybe a belly like this would be cut into three pieces. And then what I like to do is you could throw this piece on the grill just like this. It's perfectly thin enough to do that. If you have a thicker end of belly like this, what you could do is you could cut it into strips and put those strips on the grill just like bacon. We might as well do some of that today. So if you want to break it down further, you could take a strip like that and just grill it as bacon. Here we have three different parts of the chuck. As you can see, this part of the chuck is a little bit leaner. It doesn't really have as much fat as we'd like to see on a carnivore diet. This piece is a bit fattier. This is a pretty good measure of things we would like to sell.  This piece of the chuck has the bone in. We will be selling it deboned although this piece does have a very nice amount of marbling and fat deposit and the bone does add a lot of flavor. So all of these cuts are very flavorful. They can be thrown on the grill. They're great. We're going to throw this piece on the grill today. The flavor between these two pieces is pretty similar but the flavors of meat on the chuck can vary drastically. This meat tastes different than this meat which tastes different than this meat. So we'll just try this for today and we'll save this for another time. Overall guys, this is between 8 and 9 pounds of meat. So we will be offering a little bit more than this in our fatty beef box. Alright guys, we got a nice wood fire. I like putting the fatty cuts on first because it flares up the flame a bit, warms the grill up for the next cuts that I put on. And a lot of these cuts are recognized for being tough pieces of meat. But unless you're cooking them well done, they're not going to be tough. As long as you cook the meat rare and there's still a little bit of red in it, it's completely tender and delicious. Don't throw the short rib on the back here, chuck roll. It's so easy to get nice color on these fatty cuts that you actually have to be careful not to get too much browning. What I usually end up doing is I'll take it off the grill and finish it in the oven. Especially with something thick like this short rib, it's pretty hard to cook it all the way through reasonably without burning it on the outside. That's plenty of color for me on the beef belly. Chuck roll nice and crispy as well. If you guys are curious about my grill setup, check out my last day of eating. I explained it a little bit. We're going to take a look at the short rib first. It's essentially raw in the middle. That's how I like cooking my meat. But the thing about this short rib is it's so fatty sometimes that over half of it can be fat. So when we do cut into the meat, you guys can see my cooking temperature on this is literally blue rare in the middle. There is a bit of a sear on the outside. And as I said, if you want to take this to rare or even medium like a pink color, it's still very tender and flavorful. As long as you cut it against the grain, you can eat this very effectively. So what I usually do is I just take a little bit of salt on the meat and everyone's led to believe that a steak is supposed to be like as tender as flaminya or ribeye. And if there are only two cuts of the animal that melt in your mouth like that, it's not really practical and this is delicious and it's one more bite.  Let's move on to the beef belly. So this one's actually cooked a bit more. This one's pink in the middle. It's medium. And even when cooked to a medium, this is super tender. If you guys can see the grains of the belly are running this way. So when I cut perpendicular to those lines, it makes the meat very tender. Think of it this way. When you cut with the grain, you're chewing several muscle fibers, several very large muscle fibers. When you cut against the grain, you're chewing much more smaller muscle fibers and anything that's smaller is going to be more tender. Not only are the short rib and the belly some of the fattiest cuts on the animal, they are also some of the most flavorful. These cuts are so fatty and rich, you might actually have to add some lean muscle meat to them. I would say the belly is more tender when sliced properly. Maybe if we broke down the short rib a little more, cut it a little better, it would be just as tender. But the belly is definitely a little bit easier to work with, a little bit easier to break down. The flavor is definitely unique. Belly has a very specific flavor, reminiscent of bacon in a way. There's a flavor specific to every single muscle group on the animal and belly has its own flavor, very rich, very decadent, and if not the richest part of the animal. Let's give the chuck roll a shot. This is very rare.  Although this is a very fatty chuck roll, it has much less fat than these two other cuts. So it's a nice change of pace. Say you're really hungry, you have some of this super fatty and rich short rib and beef belly, then you move on to the chuck roll to satiate your protein appetite.  So what I like doing is eating these super fatty cuts first and then once I'm not as hungry, I move on to the chuck roll, the slightly leaner cut.   On the topic of flavor, I don't really have a favorite here. I think the belly is great, the short rib is great, especially if you're hungry. The chuck roll has a nice mix of fat and protein.  It was too fatty, so you end up leaving some extra fat left over for tomorrow. And that's not an issue, you just kind of want to have a reasonable balance of macronutrients throughout the day. And to me, this is one of the easiest ways to achieve it.  So, when you don't have access to these fatty cuts, you can use things like bone marrow, beef fat, even brains. And if you're not allergic to egg yolks or butter to add those things to your diet to increase the fat percentage. To me, as I am allergic to those things, this is what I do, and it's a delicious, easy, straightforward, low inflammatory way to do it. Since we're consuming grass and meat, we have overall a nice balance of fat-soluble vitamins.  Small amounts of the precursor, omega-3s, alpha-linolenic, as well as conjugated linoleic acid. But overall, the main determining factor in the nutrient density of your diet really is, one, the organ meats you're eating, where you're obtaining specific nutrients, and two, the overall quality of the fat intake in your diet. Nutrients are contained in the fat. If you're not eating lots of high-quality fat, you don't have the optimal nutrient-dense diet. So, thank you guys for joining me today. If you guys would like to check out Frankie's Free Range Meat and support my vision of providing everyone with meals like this, check out frankiesfreerangemeat.com, where you can order a fatty beef box that will have beef cuts that have similar ratios of fat to what we have here.  And we have a bunch of other products on the website that you can check out from organ meats to salmon roe, very high-quality nutrient-dense foods. Frankiesfreerangemeat.com. Thank you guys again for watching. If you guys want to support me further, you can check out some of the other YouTube videos on my channel. Let me know any videos you guys would like to see next week. I think I'll be doing how to get started carnivore video on Monday because of Thomas DeLauer, some popularity coming in. But that's it guys, enjoy the rest of the weekend.


and welcome to the session in which we will discuss indirect control specifically under connecting affiliation. In the prior session, we looked at indirect control under father-son-grandson relationship and what does that look like? It looks like something like this. For example, a company like Alphabet owns Google, owns 80% of Google or 60% more than 50%, then Google's in turn owns let's assume 60% of YouTube. Now Alphabet notice doesn't own any shares in YouTube. However, Alphabet owns YouTube through Google. So this is a father-son-grandson relationship but that's not the only relationship that you could have where you have controlled. You could have what's called connecting affiliation. What does a connecting affiliation looks like? Well, let's use the same company's Alphabet. Let's assume Alphabet owns 75% of Google. Well Alphabet controls Google and let's assume Google owns 30% of YouTube. Well, what happened here is Alphabet don't control YouTube because Google don't control YouTube. How about if Alphabet bought another 25% of YouTube? Now notice what happens here is Alphabet now controls 30% through Google 25% directly in total more than 50%. More than 50% means what? Means control. Control means what? It will have to be consolidated. So YouTube now consolidated. So when the Alphabet purchased at 25%, that's when the control is established. So the valuation of basis for assets and liabilities occurs when the 25% was purchased because technically it's 55. Now bear in mind, we have three sets of consolidation entries yet. It gets a little bit more work in the real world when you have this type of triangular relationship. This is a triangular relationship. However, the concepts are the same. So the first thing we have to do is to determine the net income for each company. Now to do so we have to work an example. That's the best way to illustrate this concept. Before we proceed any further, I have a public announcement about my company, farhatlectures.com. Farhat accounting lectures is a supplemental educational tool that's going to help you with your CPA exam preparation as well as your accounting courses. My CPA material is aligned with your CPA review course such as Becker, Roger, Wiley, Gleam, Miles. My accounting courses are aligned with your accounting courses broken down by chapter and topics. My resources consist of lectures, multiple choice questions, true-false questions, as well as exercises. Go ahead, start your free trial today. No obligation, no credit card required. So let's take a look at this example. We have Alphabet, Google and YouTube and the reason I use those companies, not because this is the true percentage of control. I don't know what the true percentage of control, nor this is their separate income. This is just for illustration. I believe students will be able to follow that Alphabet is the parent company owns Google, Google owns YouTube. So it's easy for students to see this relationship. That's why I use those names. So the separate income for Alphabet is 350 for Google 240 and for YouTube 120. Now there's inter-entity gain in this income of 25,000 for Alphabet, 20,000 for Google and 15% for YouTube. And during the consolidation, we have amortization expense, access fair value, overall value, YouTube 15, Google 10,000. So let's compute a cruel net income. Starting, we always start from the bottom, just like father, son, grandson. We start with YouTube 120 minus 15 minus 15 will give us 90,000. Then what's going to happen of this 90,000? This 90,000 here, Google gets 30%. Google gets 30%. It means the remaining 70% for now is going to end quote, non-affiliates. Okay, there's not an affiliate yet. The others are the majority goes to the other 70% to the other owners. So 30% of the 90,000 is included to Google. Google started with 240, then we deduct the inter-entity gain, we deduct the access amortization, we'll come up with 210. Then with 210, we add the share of YouTube, which is 27,000. Now we come up with Google 237,000. Now of that amount, Alphabet owns 75% of Google. So Alphabet share is 75%. Obviously, the other 25% is the NCI non-controlling interest, but we're not keeping track of that. So 237 times 75%. That's going to be Alphabet share of Google, which include also their share of YouTube. So notice how YouTube income that flow through Google also now through Alphabet. Now let's look at Alphabet separately, 350 minus 25,000. It doesn't have any amortization and access because it controls everyone else. So 325, then we add Alphabet share of Google. Then remember also that Alphabet controls 25% of YouTube. Then we're going to take the 25% of YouTube income, which is 25% of YouTube income is 90,000. 25% goes to Alphabet, which is 22,500. So all in all, Alphabet net income is 177,750 plus 22,50 is 525,250. So notice it's a different, the same concept. We starting from Google and we starting from YouTube at the bottom, and we work backward. Some profit flows through Google, then Google flows through not flows. It's included as part of the consolidation. I hope this session will help you understand this concept. Look, advanced accounting. This topic, I would not say it's on the CPA example. It definitely will be part of your advanced accounting course. Learn it, enjoy it, understand it, invest in yourself, invest in your career. Good luck and stay safe.


So Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries in face of climate change. Climate change increases the intensity and frequency of natural disasters. So coming to the natural disasters, Bangladesh suffers from two major types of natural disasters, which is sudden onset event, flood, cyclone and riverbank erosion falls within this category. And the other type of climatic stressors are the slow onset events like change in precipitation or temperature or the salinity intrusion in soil and water. IEM Rwanda has recently conducted two projects relating to disaster risk, disruption and building these areas. The first project aim was to increase the livelihood opportunities of affected communities to rescind the reliance on chefs of assisted farming. This was done through vocational skills training in various trades, such as craft, mechanics, knitting, etc. IEM Rwanda has also provided disaster training for those affected communities to raise their awareness. The other project focused on providing vulnerable populations with resilient shelters. Reconstruction and rehabilitation were done by using quality construction materials and building in safer places to ensure the principle of building backpaters to withstand future disasters. Because of its remoteness, even though the country has a robust disaster management plan, the disaster management committees in the district as well as in the sub-district and union level, their capacity is limited. On the top of all these limitations, actually the 2016 and 2017 huge influx which makes this crisis is the largest humanitarian crisis globally. It puts enormous stress on the existing mechanism. We conducted a baseline survey which gave us an in-depth understanding of the vulnerability of the targeted communities. This enabled us to tell our ideal programs that fit the local context. The community-based DRL, as well as training to primary school teachers on DRL lessons, is designed to provide communities with the requisite knowledge and tools to understand the RRL issues, to enhance the Office of National Security's capacity to effectively respond to disasters. We purchased non-food items and constructed a warehouse that housed these items, which will be used in response to disasters. I am adopting an inclusive approach when it comes to working with the most vulnerable of members within the host and Rohingya communities. We are looking at some of the most extremely vulnerable cases that are there because of various vulnerabilities that are existing or are emerging as such.  We are working with gender-based violence survivors. We are looking at a desegregation of the two kinds of vulnerabilities, be it in terms of age or special needs that might be there because of physical conditions. So there are various parameters that we are looking at to identify the most vulnerable and then that's where we are targeting them on a priority basis. We are the first agency who has been transferring all the international standards to the local partners and so then still our recognition as a key agency on managing camps or in community centres are very valuable for our partners. IOM is a global migration agency. It brings a unique perspective and value addition to the global efforts of reducing disaster risks and build resilience. In Bangladesh, disaster management regulatory framework is well-defined. There are separate ministries and line departments and disaster management committees who oversee the work related to disaster preparedness. IOM strengthens the capacities of these disaster management committees at all three layers, district, sub-district and union levels. In district level, IOM working to assist what we call the DRF forum. The DRF forum in sub-national district level consists of not only government but also the city society, agonisation and private sector. The main work of the DRF forum is to mainstream and advocate the DR issues in the government. So, in the end, the goal is to include the DRR issues in the regional planning and as well as the regional public budgeting. Now we are in the main warehouse of IOM Haiti where we have stored some emergency leave commodities to assist disaster African families after an event. We need to understand that IOM Haiti has warehouses in four areas. Not only this one in Port-au-Prince, but we've got another warehouse in Lecaille, the third one in Kaphaïsien, North Department, and the last one in Atibounid, Bounairi. At the capital level in Tahaka, we try to work with the policymakers and trying to influence the policymaking process and we believe that through improved policy, we'll be able to affect the people's lives in Bangladesh.


FNN. The Tiger. Financial news network. News update. Good morning, everyone. Baselchapn here on this Friday, the 3rd of March. And we're looking at, let me do this right now, because we just had some kind of news. We'll see if the market's going to slide like it often does in these economic news events over this morning, actually rally. We're looking at the Dow up 89 at $32,094. It's actually lagging the S&P. The S&P, it's been very nicely where it has been. Yep, it's still doing well. It's up $24 at $4,500 at $4,013. Looking at the QQQ, NDX100, trading at $296.47, up $287, IWM, the rest of $2,000, trading up $0.46 at $189.28. Gold, this is very interesting. Gold is up $7,000 at $1847. A very nice leg B. The MACD is really, this is the first time we've seen it, the MACD, the moving average, is very close to turning up. It isn't yet. And the stochastic is still very weak at 35%. We're going to be watching this very closely. We're talking about in my show coming up, the Tiger Technicians Hour. Looking at the dollar, here's the dollar running a little bit. The dollar is okay. It's down $21.00, Texas 104.75. I'm anticipating that it can go to the 105.40s to make that leg D. We're looking at the TLT. Now, this is going to be very interesting because the TLT spiked much higher. It's up $1.35 at $100.83. That means the yields finally can see a little bit of a balance. And that's going to be important. We've got crude oil. Crude oil right now is down $0.57. It's $0.77. Now, I've got a lot to discuss in my show coming up, the Tiger Technicians Hour. And a couple of questions came up. What were the technical indicators that allowed me to go long? Why am I raising the stop, etc.? And I'll talk about that as soon as I return for the Tiger Technicians Hour. Let me just have a wonderful weekend. We're all going to get some snow here in the Boston area. We haven't had much snow. Anyway, we'll see what happens. And here I am once again, I can't believe beating the bell. This is the VIX index. As we're waiting, the VIX index is trading down $0.38 at $0.19.21. Wow. This is very interesting. Well, we'll see if the market can hold gains all the way into three o'clock, and then you've got your three to four o'clock hour, where the options expiration starts to take place. I'll be back in a moment. Hope you can stay
