So let's read chapter one chapter 15 verses one through eight I'm the true vine and my father is the vine dresser Every branch of me that does not bear fruit he takes away and every branch that bears fruit He prunes that he may bear more fruit You're already clean because of the word which has spoken to you Abiding me and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit in of itself unless it abides in the vine either Can you unless you abide in me?  I really believe that verse 8 just sums up everything The father's going to be glorified by us bearing fruit But let's put this in context of what's taking place if you would save your spot will be back in just a minute for me I'm going to turn my page for you if you go over to chapter 13 It's kind of where the story kind of picks up here. We are in what's known as the passion week Chapter 13 we know it's the time of the Passover and We see it was a time where Judas was about to betray Jesus Verse 2 and chapter 13 Supper being into the devil having already put it into the heart of Jesus Judas is scary at Simon's son to betray him And so he does If you if you look down he begins to watch the disciples feet and he has a conversation And the next few verses with Peter he says that you don't need to wash me He says then wash all of me right in verse 8 Simon Peter said to him Lord verse 9 not my feet only but my hands and my head look at verse 10 If you would Jesus said to him he who has bathed needs only to wash his feet But he but is completely clean and you are clean notice what he says then but not all of you For he knew who would betray him therefore. He said you are not all clean You were not all clean Verse 21 he says when Jesus said these things he was troubled in his spirit and testified and said most of surely I say to you one of you will betray me So it happens He has Judas the bread and he betrays him and he says go and do what you're gonna do Chapter 14 we know is a very powerful passage where Jesus says I'm the way the truth in the life And no one comes to the father except through me But then we get into chapter 15 and they had left this place They're on this road most likely head into the garden there Where we know what's about to take place. He's just going to be praying stressed Sweating drops of blood all these things and and yet as they're walking I wonder what everybody's thinking What just happened? One of us betray Who is it I Lord who would do this? We wouldn't do this who would do this? Judas did this. Why would you just do this Judas had why did this happen? And what this is important for us tonight because for all purposes To discuss listen, there was no reason for them to consider Judas none For the fact that all of them are sitting there Is it I who would it be? It wasn't like everybody was like oh here goes Judas is about to right. You know what I mean? It wasn't like oh, oh Jesus and Judas they're going it's going down right now, right? It wasn't that I Mean if it was that then it would be kind of like oh Oh, I'm gonna step back. I'm gonna watch what's gonna happen. So it took place and as they're walking I believe this is an illustration a metaphor that Jesus used to explain that situation That story oh There was the 12 but now there's just 11 and let me tell you about this branch And he goes on and he first starts off by saying I'm I'm the vine. I'm not just the vine any vine. I'm the true vine Why is that so important? Well because in the Old Testament well first of all we know that the vine has two branches One that bears fruit and one that doesn't But when we get into the Old Testament you look in context and stuff of the vine and the branches Know that Israel was the vine Yet what happened? Well What happened was this? God repeatedly used the vine as a symbol of his people Psalm 80 verse 8-9 it says you have brought a vine out of Egypt You have cast out the nations and planted it you prepared room for it and caused it to take deep root and it filled the land oh God was the vine dresser and Israel was the vine and those who were United with Israel were very blessed and all and he would prune and he would do all these things and yet There was also this negative sense that took place For example in Isaiah chapter 5 verse 1 and 2 it says now let me sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved regarding his vineyard My well-beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill He dug it up and cleared it out its stones and planted it with the choices vine He built a tower in the midst and also made a wine press in it So he expected it to bring forth good grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes There in Isaiah chapter 5 also in verse 7 says for the vineyard of the Lord of hosts as the house of Israel and the men of Judah are his pleasant plant he looked for justice, but behold oppression for righteousness, but behold a cry for help or In Jeremiah chapter 2 verse 21 he says this yet I have planted you a noble vine a seed of highest quality How then have you turned before me into the degenerate plant of an alien vine Why a vine? Why a vine rather than other plants? Well, it's a beautiful picture It's a beautiful picture here where he says listen You might have in your mindset Israel and God's chosen people you might have in your mindset when you picture this vine There was vines all around them and so let's use this as an illustration and let's see But he says listen I want you to know that I'm the true vine See where the nation failed God? Jesus had been the complete embodiment of everything we're supposed to be The true vine And we must be rooted in him if we're to bear fruit And of the many pictures of the relationship between God and his people the vine and branch picture Emphasizes complete dependence and the need for constant connection. It was said by a vine dresser this They have a saying it's called growth follows the knife Man when I read that I was just Mesmerized by I'm going that's so true of us sometimes isn't it Lord. What are you doing? That hurts stop it This pruning this cutting away, but this pruning isn't a one-time thing See when you prune a branch there's a time of bleeding the bleeding of the sap, but it's interesting I was reading up on this bleeding and it said it's much better to bleed with the sap than to wither and burn Powerful, huh? It's much better to bleed than to wither and burn see we may look at the pruning as a painful thing But we have to understand that that pruning that takes place has nothing to do with chastening It has nothing to do with correcting as it tells us in Hebrews chapter 12. He says no listen. I'm pruning you to bear more fruit. Oh It's powerful. I have a couple pictures if we put up the first one I was listening to a story about a man who had Interviewed a vine dresser and he said the first thing he said this a mature vine consists of a root system The root system will go down to as much as 40 feet deep and Not only that he said the tips of the roots are Actually very raw and bare because as they dive into the soil They're grabbing that nutrients and bringing them in and as they're coming in They're growing and it grows into what is the trunk and from the trunk The vine dresser would make a trellis usually a post in two wires and on one of those wires are on that wire You could see here even in that picture the vine dresser would actually tie The the the vine would grow out from the trunk into these what is called arms two arms usually two to four arms out on to that that cable that trellis and So of the vine we have the root system the trunk and the arms consisting of the vine And that's where it gets the nutrients from the soil from all these things and Jesus said listen, I'm the true vine See the nutrients flow from the soil to the roots to the trunk to the arms He says I bring you the nutrients And it says God is the vine dresser the husband man It's been said that his arms represent a glorified Christ who is now at the right hand of the father He has every source and every resource we need to produce fruit From there comes what is called the shoots These shoots or buds that come up and if you see them over there on the my right your left the shoots are cane and It looks like if you go to picture number two and Picture number two you see the beginning of these shoots or these buds these spurs they call them Now it's interesting because when you look at that I mean if you're driving you're like oh, isn't that beautiful? You think they're all dead Right? I mean you think there's no life there Oh, man How wrong are we? See there are these shoots that grow And they will take the wrong but here's what happens sometimes These shoots grow and they grow down in a way that they try to begin and grow new roots And they try to begin to grow and and become their own root system Just like our flesh right wanting to do it our way And if we don't cut that out They're gonna grow Into being like these little jesus's Doing what we want what we think is right doing it our way See these buds if you would the next picture grow into branches See the vine itself does not bear the fruit the branches bear the fruit Imagine how it goes from that dead looking plant That dead looking just pieces of wood to this To this what's the next one to eventually this the next one But if you would go back to the second picture See we all need For life and holiness all we need And we all need this Everything we need is found in jesus It starts here It starts with the minima And it's interesting because what we see so often is the world wants to offer us something that looks so much more attractive I'll get it that way I'll take for myself something that looks more that looks better for what I need But in second peter chapter 1 verse 3 his divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness Through the knowledge of him who called us by the glory of the father The nutrients produce this and this is interesting the nutrients produced in this plant Produce something that's almost like an anti freeze that actually keeps it from freezing in cold weather But if it doesn't get the nutrients it needs that water turns into ice and actually freezes and kills the plant God has set this up so that everything and the way it's supposed to work is just perfect for growth But it's interesting for us because the bible says that the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy I don't want you to go after the nutrients that you need. I don't want you in the word I don't want you in fellowship.  There's in in these vines There's these like capillary type things these veins that actually take the nutrients and the soil From the trunk into the arms into the chutes and the branches begin to grow But it's interesting because it said if the vine dresser doesn't cut off the dead branches Then the sap the healthy nutrients are going to try to get to that And then the the fruit isn't going to be as healthy isn't going to be as fruitful isn't going to be as big because All the sap all the nutrients that needed to get to that plant Had a detour and was going in the wrong direction to the wrong to dead wood to dead wood Now it's interesting more about this See he says that the vines and the vine dresser have this interesting relationship He says the vine dresser knows his his vines A few interesting things vines usually last from 100 to 200 years old Now vines have to be cut down to this every year Every year gets back to this every year Produce fruit super healthy beautiful healthy grapes and all of a sudden this And for us we can think what are you doing? Why would you do that? Look at how healthy it was But see the vine dresser isn't hurting it. It's helping it. He loves it He knows listen if I do this Next year's fruit Bigger better the vines stronger branches are stronger. Listen.  It's not healthy yet. It's not where it needs to be yet Oh, but it's getting there. Oh, it's getting there and and but here's the thing the vine dresser knows the vine And he knows the branches But think about this go to the third picture if you would If he just let the vine just keep growing always We you know like the fifth picture with the the huge grapes and whatnot. Oh, it's so healthy Let's just keep letting it grow, right? Oh, right think about your ministry, but we had such a Healthy spiritual year such a productive year. So god has been so good, but listen You don't cut that back It's going to keep growing and growing and growing and the further it grows the further away from the vine it is The further away from the vine it is the smaller the grapes The more sour you ever been in the sour grapes. Oh my goodness The smaller the more sour And the the more unhealthy they are Gotta cut them off There's a reason behind all this And jesus is telling this story And he says i'm the vine My father's the vine dresser I got you I know what you need and I know who's mine And I know Who's not My father's the vine dresser and verse two it says every branch in me that does not bear fruit He takes away and every branch that bears fruit. He prunes it and in being bear more fruit When he cuts off the the branches even the healthy ones The technical term that the vine dresser actually has is called old wood There is a term for a branch that bore fruit this past year But he says listen, I got to cut off the old wood And he has a term that he says you have to have what is called rod renewal That is that little stump in picture two if you would Those little spurs if you would He says that's what you need We're going to cut it back to just that Those are about four inches or so in height and we're going to cut it back to just that But there has to be this rod renewal And I wonder how many of you You know when we talk about men's Men's uh study starting up women's studies starting up Men's retreats and all these other things it's so easy to live off the past, isn't it? Ever think back of those amazing times you and god, but how long ago were those amazing times? Yesterday last year five years ago How come it's not fresh anymore? Are you afraid to be pruned? Are you living off the past? Are you living off like oh, I was healthy once and I have these old stories Let me tell you this time where god used me Damn, but god wants to use you even more See the vine dresser knows how healthy it once was but he goes listen You don't see what's around the corner, but next year I want more fruit Healthier fruit. Oh, I got some amazing things in store for your life back.  He goes. Oh, yeah picture five He goes.  I'm a christian. I go to church I'm involved in a ministry. No. No. No. He's like yeah, I gotta prune some of that Don't but lord that was my fruitful part. Oh, yeah Philip Right, he was called right. Paul's like I'm not called to wait tables or not Paul Philip was called right to be in leadership, right and so what happened?  You know It's like what's down there nothing Ethiopian reading the book of Isaiah He's like, what are you reading? I don't know. I don't have anybody explain it to me. Oh, yeah, I got you. Let's talk Jumped in started talking, you know, what's preventing me from being back to nothing Let's do this, right? All of a sudden he's like that's what it was for You didn't know was down this road because you thought there was nothing down this road. Now.  Sorry. Am I yelling? I apologize. I don't mean to But listen, you may feel dry after bearing fruit, but the Lord says I've got much more for you I have this newness It's going to be new wood a new rod a new branch And for those of us that don't understand it God will do everything in his power to get you back to your first laugh So you can't live off your past experiences and don't just live off your memories of the fruitful times But notice he says in verse three that the pruning knife You're already clean because of the word which has spoken to you The vine dresser's pruning knife His word Man, that's powerful, isn't it? See one of the most loving things a vine dresser can do is speak his word into your life And then there's going to be this cutting away The bible tells us things like fleece sin and the weight that easling snares us, right? Run Or not that I've been that not to be conformed to the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind I'm going to have you start thinking differently. I'm going to have you start living differently I'm going to have you start speaking differently. I'm going to have you start acting differently You know with these hurricanes and all this stuff and so many people going off to Texas and other places and eventually probably florida and as we've done in When we used to go to bay st. Louis mississippi, right and after katrina and and Haiti and different things what caused us to say i'm going to give up my Vacation i'm going to pay my way to go serve other people Where did that come from? Because most of us are selfish But god's beginning to prune that selfishness in us and helping us to see his righteousness And we're beginning to get rid of our self-righteousness and our selfishness And we're starting to be holy and we're becoming more like christ and we're bearing fruit and that fruit is love It's grace is mercy It's long suffering And he says this is what I have for you But I don't just have a little bit because as you're growing i'm going to cut it off so that more can grow More that can grow Oh, and it's going to be so beautiful What is he pruning? Again He's pruning our self-righteousness He's pruning our human effort to produce a righteousness That is pleasing to him and how do we know when we need to be pruned?  When you have junior hires No And he says what do you need to do? verse four Abide in me And I in you Now word abide means this to to make camp to settle here Here's the thing Picture two I found what i'm looking for Lord, I need to be right there I'm not going anywhere Because lord you're rooted Your trunk is healthy And lord you're just waiting for me to get up there and grow I'm not going anywhere. I found what i'm looking for Found my identity in christ I realize now because the scriptures tell me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made I am saved by grace through faith and not of my works Matter of fact, I am now his workmanship his poem Created in christ jesus for good works That's you that's me Oh, but we might be like paul where the lord told him As he was going from sol to paul i'm going to show him all the things he must suffer from my name's sake But when we read in philippians, man, and if you're struggling read philippians Where he just says listen, I got this lord lord. I want to go I want to go be with you, but lord.  You're my everything. I found what I was looking for. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to abide in the vine Where else am I going to go because if I leave this place I'm going to wither And if I try to move away from this i'm going to just be sour And the further I am from the vine And healthier i'm going to be So lord i'm going to plant myself right here with you There's no place i'd rather be Remember the old song been in your arms of love Oh Holding me still holding me near Remember that song In your arms of love That amazing that they actually call them arms And lord you hold me so I might rise That I might rise and branch out and blossom and that I might grow healthy and strong in you Because seeing the lord he'll present us faultless He will he will even prune the good things in our life To make them better to to cause us to trust even more and I wonder For some of you who are older in the faith Well, for example I uh this friday i'm doing a memorial and I met with the family this week And I said can you tell me about your loved one? I said, yeah, and they said this right before she passed. This is what she said I love jesus. I know he loves me. I've done everything and seen everything in my life That I wanted to see and do And I'm ready and the family With mixed emotions. There was like this joy And sadness right, you know, they were they were excited. They're like she's in heaven She's in heaven like she looked forward from 18 years old till the day she passed to being with jesus And she loved people and she grew and everyone knew that she loved jesus because she loved them And there was this aroma of Oh my goodness. There was this Listen How fair is your song of solemn in four ten? How fair is your love my sister my spouse? How much better than wine is your love? Listen and the scent of your perfumes and all spices When we're with the lord There's this aroma When we're close to him, there's this aroma. There's something about you There's something in this person's life that says What that makes people go? What is it about you? What is it in your life that is causing this joy in the midst of trials and the midst of suffering and all these things What is it in your life? Oh, it's The fact that I've had the privilege and I have that opportunity and I've learned just to simply abide in the law See, we love him because he first loved us and song of solemn in Chapter seven verse 12. Let us Get up early to the vineyards. Let us see if the vine has budded whether the great Blossoms are open and the pomegranates are in bloom there.  Right I mean from picture two to this Don't you just want to like Walk through there and just rest in this and go this is healthy This is beautiful. This is the way it's supposed to be when it's healthy when it's being nurtured This is what I want in my life low That there would be rows and rows and rows of fruitfulness in my life So whether I'm at church or work or in my house or Or at the store or everywhere I go lord They might see fruit in my life The people might see this healthiness that people might know lord that I'm with you and I'm planted I'm abiding in the vine and the vine in me Oh, it's such a beautiful beautiful picture Abiding verse four abiding me and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit in of itself I want you to notice again First of all verse picture two There's no fruit here. There's no branch picture three The branches begin and thus this is where fruit begins This is where the fruit comes But as we look at all these things He says Verse four neither can you unless you abide in me See if that if one of these branches is growing we're like, oh, this is nice. I'm going to cut it off No more nutrients No more health Ever met people? Yeah, I'm a christian. I just don't go to church. I don't believe in organized religion I don't you know, I'm just doing my thing Really? You're not in the vine man You can't grow If if you're not with the lord You can't grow here's the problem There are people even in the church that are judices Listen, they didn't they're going back to chapter 13. Is it our lord? Could it be me? There was nothing that gave it away at the time that it was judice There was nothing that said Oh, yeah, of course it's him. Why is this so difficult? Why to bring this up? Well, because here's the thing Because when we do task And we get this mindset, of course, they were the lord they were leaders They served in the church. They were a church all the time. Really? Did they abide in the vine? You thought they did Just like everybody thought judice did and it seemed like They were But even jesus said You went out But you were never of Oh, you came out from our presence But you were never of In verse 5 he says i'm the vine and you're the branches he who bides in me and i and him bears much fruit for without me You can do nothing Much fruit But you got to abide in the lord you got to stay there stay with him Does it get hard? And for those of you who are new christians, let me tell you a story It's simple.  Wow this feeling so emotion all this other stuff And i had a friend, uh, we led to the lord and uh used to tell me every time he got saved Seems to me he's a good friend of mine still like every time i got saved get goosebumps He came to me one day. It's like dust in call me up get over here Get over there and come hang out. He's like look at jesus He's literally he's like did he leave me? Gives us life to the lord his wife leaves him lost his business all this other stuff and he's just like what happened And and it's so easy right to turn from our Our attention on the lord going oh goosebumps lord you're so amazing Look at this feeling that i have in this emotion that i have in your presence and he goes But i want so much more for you. I want you to know me I want you to know my character I don't want you to know me by what people say, but i want you to be in my word I want my word to penetrate your heart and i want you to know who i am And what i have in store for you So when people start saying things about how i should move or how i shouldn't move you could say that's not true Because this is who he is Because we know the vine dresser and we know the vine dresser Is invested in the vine and the vine is investing in us You know what's interesting that story with the the man that met with the vine dresser. He said what happens if you would The final picture He said once it gets to this level There's these sugars that grow and and begin to produce and the grapes as well as in the leaves and it sends nutrients In separate capillaries back down into the roots I don't know if you heard me, but abiding me and i and you We're working together here with the lord He's like listen. I'm bringing you some nutrients. Oh, yeah, i'ma send some back We're working and he's like i love you. Oh lord. I love you too Building each other uh I have more for you And god has this picture for us Verse six he says if anyone does not abide me he's cast out as a branch and is withered and they gather them and throw them into the Fire and they are burned The sad part about that is They're not burned for heat or anything else. He says these pieces of wood are what they call simply dead wood It's good for nothing It's just withered and they just toss it It's like that's not what I have for you I have so much more for you And verse seven says if you abide in me and my words abide in you you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you Now it's interesting because I think a lot of people can take that verse out of context But if we read it simply as it is it's not hard to take out of In context if you would if you abide in me my words abide in you you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you See, I'm not desiring the house and boats and cars and all this other stuff, right? Why because my his word is abiding me I'm focused on that I'm focused lord not my will but your will be done. So when I ask for things I'm asking lord in your name Lord this meet the needs of this loved one lord meet the needs of these people lords provide lord save god Grace god your mercy god your compassion and so on. I'm not looking for my selfish gain No, and the lord is like I want to meet your needs. Why because your will isn't lined with mine As my word is abiding is being stored as kept with you And he says in verse eight by this My father's glorified that you bear much fruit. So you will be my disciples When it says my father's glorified, he says it simply means my father is honored That you bear much fruit So you will be my disciples If you would go to picture two It starts with him Picture three He says As you will abide in me And I in you Then the shoots grow out into branches the branches begin to grow leaves and then fruit The vine dresser keeps pruning and pruning and keeping it so that it's in a place Where it can grow healthy and stay as close to the vine as possible and be as fruitful and healthy as possible So that in picture four Our lives would be healthy and grow Because he doesn't have just this for us. He has in picture five He says I have so much more for you than you can ever imagine I have so much more that I want to do in your life than you can ever imagine And you don't even understand and you don't know but it's just around the corner But I have to prune you I have to take things out of your life And I'm going to use my word to speak into your life to say that's not what I have for you because I have so much more That you might fleece then that you might run to him And that he the author and the finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him endure the cross That we would see him for who he is That we would be well as the scriptures tell us that we would be rooted and built up and established in the faith picture three Lord, you're the vine And we're the branches And lord, I know that only in you I can bear much fruit So my question tonight is this Are you grafted in Are you abided in the vine? Are you allowing god to prune your life? Are you even in at all?  Are you old wood that the lord says no listen, I got to cut that off. I have something new and fresh But lord, I feel dry right now. It's okay Because the nutrients are coming as you're in the word as you're as you're i'm replenishing and the branches are coming Spring is here in your heart and your life and god's like I hey for us We might be heading in the fall but in your walk god's like spring's coming Spring's coming and the branches are coming out and god's like I have I have listen your co-workers at work that don't know me I have you in their life for a reason Your loved ones your family your friends that don't know me. I have you in their life for a reason Your family members your home is to be a sanctuary and I have you there for a reason I have you on this earth for such a time as this and listen You might not know exactly what that means But hey, it's just around the corner because the nutrients are there and he's pouring into your life through his word And he wants you to understand. I'm going to humble you. I'm going to bring into you My righteousness and my holiness so that you would be fruitful in your life. Is that you? Oh, it could be Oh, I want it to be for me Lord here. I am Lord, I don't want to just pretend and play church and do things That make me look like a christian or whatever lord. I don't want to live by a title, but lord. I just want my life to be just Abiding in you me and you god Because that is what is going to make my family healthy that is going to make my Relationships healthy that is what's going to make my ministry healthy and everything else that I simply abide in him Where are you at?


Live from the Mendeley Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. It's theCUBE, covering VMworld 2016. Brought to you by VMware and its ecosystem sponsors. Now, here are your hosts, John Furrier and Stu Miniman. Hello everyone, welcome back to the VMworld 2016. This is theCUBE, just looking at angles flagship programming, go out to the events and extract the symptoms of noise. I'm John Furrier, Mike, co-host Stu Miniman and our next guest is South Team Veghani who is the co-founder and CTO of Pernex Data. Now with Nutanus, welcome to theCUBE, congratulations. Thanks guys for having me. Glad to be here. You are the community guest voted in by the community as the top guest they wanted to hear from. All right. So let's do it. So let's talk about what do you think of the keynotes today, VSAN, where VMware is going and the industry. Do you think it's a, this multi-cloud thing has legs? I think so. In fact, many vendors have talked about choice, right? And so it was initially about the private cloud and choice within the private cloud. Then there's a whole bunch of vendors about the public cloud. And they are kind of sort of wedded to that theme about the public cloud. But it looks like now given the range of workloads that we are seeing in the enterprise, it seems like there is some legs to the theory at least as of now, that there could be a potential to have both kinds, both flavors first of all. And more importantly, a need for things to seamlessly move across, right? So I think some of my colleagues were talking about it yesterday, right? The next generation, VSAN, will be the VSAN that kind of liberates you from the underlying substrates. Yeah, so Jim, you know, you were at VMware for a number of years. You know, want to get your commentary on kind of storage and software storage. Has that been changing a lot? Obviously, you had what you were doing at Pernex. Nutanix is working on kind of not just HCI, but in many ways, you know, modernizing the stack itself, including some competition against VMware. So can you give us a little bit of a historical view as to how you've seen things change so fast over the last five years and where do you think it's going?  I'd be lying if I said, you know, everything was, you know, exactly according to plan. But, you know, kind of reminding back a few more years is true to your point. As you know, when we started at VMware, this was circa 2002, when we were still trying to convince the world that, you know, consolidating multiple operating systems on a single server is the way to go.  In the next generation data center. And so, you know, the real kind of inflection point, if you will, for storage, virtualized storage, if you will, was when we decided to do something to help VMotion.  At that point, it was about a VMotion roadmap. You know, how can we make VMotion possible? How can we make it such that the VM can move without moving its underlying storage because that would take days or weeks back in the day when we are still sitting on 100 megabit ethernet and so on. And so the first thing we realized is we shared storage was key. And so we ended up inventing a cluster of files of some VMFS. That was my pet project. And, you know, still one of my favorite things when I look back. And, you know, that kind of search of kind of a sequence of events, right? Just once we did VMFS, we fell into this whole sand bulge. And, you know, sands did a large to make it very optimal to run virtual machines. But, you know, at the end of the day, we realized that there were just a lot of players. You know, there was a switch administrator. There was a storage admin. There was a server admin. And so that, of course, led to, you know, hyperconvergence and the vSAN and the Nutanixes of the world. And then, of course, there was, in parallel, there was this other thread which was storage was becoming faster than we had ever imagined. And it still kind of keeps going. Probably even faster than the rate at which processors are evolving. And that made it very important for applications to run right next to storage or the other way around. And so, you know, server-side technologies were very important.  I mean, there was, you know, transformational for VMware going forward. You know, we think back to the early days. I mean, I remember when I saw VMotion for the first time, it blew everybody's mind. It was magical, right? We've all talked about it. Still differentiation for VMware. A question for you, and you know, maybe it's a little personal, but is VMFS long in the tooth now? Does there need to be reinvention? You know, what do you think about kind of the VMware stack and where things need to go? I think so, to be honest, you know, it is showing a sign of its age. But, you know, I say this often. In fact, I was speaking at a Vima keynote a few months ago. And the first thing to realize about any technology is that it's going to get disrupted, you know. The worst thing you could do after inventing a technology is getting too focused on that one thing and assuming that that's going to last a decade or two decades.  And so, yes, it is long in the tooth, but you know, back in the day, when it used to be highly relevant, it did a fabulous job, you know. Many people talk, have great stories about how shed storage and VMotion absolutely changed how they run their IT infrastructure. And now it's time to move on, you know. Now it's time to actually focus on storage class memory, server-side media, because, again, devices are just getting too fast for the networks to be a bottleneck.  If you ask me. As Stu says, it's always shifting the bottleneck somewhere else as no networking parlance there. But that brings up the point around the data. Right now, to us, at least we were just commenting on the opening about the data is the competitive advantage opportunity. And being open and not proprietary doesn't exist anymore. You use open source, I mean. But using open source doesn't mean you're open. So there's now a nuance around, not proprietary, but lock in spec with being sticky with the data. So we're trying to understand, love to get your thoughts on how you see that because that will truly define multiple clouds, because if Microsoft comes out and says, hey, we're going to create some stickiness with the data, or we're open, technically you could move your data, but moving across the network again is another problem. Yeah, that's true. What needs to be in place in your mind to truly have open cloud for the data and the data area? I guess that's a five-year question, but I'll take a swing at it. That's a great question. Should the arrow forward? I mean, we're speculating, so we're riffing, but go ahead. Also, the first thing about data is, at least if you look back on the past few years, we, at least in the storage ecosystem, have focused a lot on data services around a blob that is otherwise impenetrable, right? So you have a virtual disk or blob storage. You don't quite know what the application is doing inside the blob, but you still try to guarantee some quality of service on that blob, whether it's IOPS, latency, or some amount of replication or snapshotting. But I think now we are all realizing that we need to peek inside that blob. It's all about the applications, but to understand what the application is doing, you need to have that level of transparency. So I think in my very, not so formed opinion yet, I'm also kind of sort of seeing how it evolves. But in my opinion so far, we are going to first kind of go into this phase where a lot of vendors, including possibly Nutanix, is going to try to break into, through that, a weakness around users' data, and actually help people understand what makes up an application, and then try to do some interesting management capabilities around different components, different data components that make up an application. And just to give you a very simple example, a database is not just a blob, right? A database is some table space, there's some lock space, there's some temp space, so, and different types of data types require different service levels, and different types of management, and different life cycle management. So I think we are going to see a lot of vendors who don't quite have the keys to those applications try to break in. So that's, I think, going to be the first phase. But then, I think in the second phase, we are going to see some standardization, right? The infrastructure vendors will work with the app vendors to somehow standardize the application, the infrastructure interface, so that we can do many more kind of application-oriented services, but inside the infrastructure. Yeah, so you bring up, I think, a key point, I want a lot of our audience to understand about what you've been doing at Pernix Data, because there's some people look at, like, you know, not to trivialize it, but, oh, they help performance, and especially with Flash, and I can take something older and make it run a little bit better, but it's the analytics. And we understand the storage industry, we've been talking for many years now, it's not just about storing, but how do I leverage data? As John was saying, you see Nimble Storage, what they're doing, the analytics, a lot of storage and networking companies are really trying to get in there, leverage that, and pull out of it. So can you talk to us? I know you probably can't share, you know, what Nutanix plus Pernix will be, but, you know, what the analytics is, where you're looking at taking that, and at the kind of core to what you've been doing the last couple of years. Well, for sure, and by the way, thanks for recognizing that, right? Because in fact, analytics is a new thing, and I think, you know, when faced with a new thing, everybody tries to jump on the bandwagon, but there are some key requirements to make analytics successful. But anyway, before I go there, you know, this is something that also excites me about the Nutanix Pernix data manage.  And so we made a distributed platform that gave you a scale-out performance. Nutanix did so as well. The only difference was they brought in capacity, we didn't, and there were good reasons to do it, either way. But then both companies realized that a product doesn't make a company. And so we realized that, you know, the next level of value edge, you know, storage is going to be storage, you know, there's only so many ways you can do RAID and snapshotting and so on. So the next level of value edge is indeed analytics, you know, to make people actually to help them understand what's going on in their data center. That was a key behind architect, which was a Pernix data product. That's also the key behind Prism, which is a Nutanix product. And so just to kind of give you a little bit of an idea about what the future holds. You know, I think we have a lot of work that we can bring in all the work that we did around Pernix data architect. We can bring that into the Prism platform. But then there's also the other angle, which is, you know, Prism as a platform so far helps the hyper-converge part of the data center. And so the other question is, hey, can we actually help a much broader part of the data center, the next generation data center, and that broader part of the data center spans legacy infrastructure. It also spans some amount of cloud, right? So then talking about analytics itself, you know, I'll just say one thing, which is, you know, right now we are in this phase where we try to collect a lot of data, but you know, right now the server side seems to be at a huge advantage when it comes to analytics. Because if you are there, just like you saw in the VMware Keynot, you know, there's the network virtualization assets, there's the storage virtualization assets, and then there's of course the compute assets. Other people like Nutanix have it too. And so having all those assets lets you get a holistic view of the data center and feed that into your analytics system as opposed to a storage-only view or a compute-only view or a network-only view. And I think that's going to be a key differentiator, just kind of starting out of the gauge. I think one of the things that excites me about this conversation, one is we're kind of painting a picture about what the future might hold and certainly what you guys have been doing with Nutanix kind of teases out future. But the reality is on the app side, app developer side, this whole data ecosystem, whether it's Hadoop or databases in general, have always been kind of a systems of record model. And now with real-time data, you don't know which data you might need from a different database. So you're seeing the mega trend being that data from every database will need to at least be exposed to some level intelligence. You know, this has really not been worked on. You guys are really cracking the code on this. So it's at the beginning stages of this opening up of metadata, about the metadata, if you will. How early are we? I mean, we're kind of like pre-gaming this thing. I mean, what's your thoughts? I mean, because that's where everyone struggles at these analytic shows with the power of the data. I think, well, maybe I'll explain it through an example is back in the day, I think it was 2005 or 2004, we had VMFS and somebody out in the open, reverse engineered the VMFS on this format and then they made a Java application and it was a VMFS file system driver. It was read only, because they couldn't figure out transactions, but you could at least read data. And so I think that's how early we are, is there's too many applications to worry about, at least in the enterprise. And so we are probably in the phase where we are not going to see too much standardization because we don't even quite understand the scope of the problem, to standardize, right? And so the first thing we'll do is we'll hack. So that's how early we are. That's the creative phase, the hacking. It's true, we're hacking around. It's hard to standardize but you don't understand. So what's the hardest part of this hacking phase right now that you see? Or what's the exciting area? Hard, exciting, it's kind of the same thing and from a hacker standpoint. The hardest part will be, well, I'll answer in the technology sense in the business sense, right? And the business sense, the hardest part will be like it or not, we are all frenemies, right? So when we start adding value beyond a point, people stop being friends. And so we are in this phase where we really need to be friends to understand each other's applications. The infrastructure guy needs to understand the application. The app guy needs to understand infrastructure. You might say, why? Because the app guy might want to orchestrate infrastructure changes, right? To make the app perform better. And so we really need to be in that friend phase but unfortunately as we add more and more value, that's going to break down. So I think that's the kind of key problem I see on the business side. And on the technology side, I see you yourself, the examples you gave, right? How do MongoDB, all those things are moving so fast. We thought Apache Spark was a thing and suddenly now there's this new thing called Flink. And so it's moving so fast. It's like nightclubs.  I mean, but this is open source communities. They move with the trend. So it's fashionable, if you will. To never fight fashion, as they say. Yeah, exactly. But because it's moving so fast, just by the time you think you have figured out the whole life cycle, you have figured out the marriage, the orchestration, the party somewhere else to use your analogy.  If you look at a lot of those modern applications, it has different requirements from kind of the storage side and might even have challenges with virtualization. How do you take that into account? How do you think of kind of some of those new applications that might not fit into kind of our traditional buckets? Actually, that's a great question. So, you know, again, honestly speaking, the canvas is yet to be painted. I think we'd be very, very wrong in assuming that everything we've invented over the last 10 years or in the last five years, for that matter, will just, you know, we slap it on and it's just going to work. And in fact, that's the exciting part, right? Is, you know, there is so much potential for innovation here, as long as we have an open mind, as long as we don't kind of just get too married. And so, again, to answer your question slightly more directly, I think, and through an example, for that matter, storage-class memory, right, you know? There is a school of thought which says that, you know, the right way to use storage-class memory is to give it directly to the application.  But then there's this other school of thought, which is more infrastructure-centric, that, hey, you know, there are some infrastructure services which are better off done once and perfected once, especially when it comes to data, right? You know, making versions of data, sending it off to across a wide-area network and so on and so forth. You know, all those services are so difficult to build that you don't want to build it a thousand times for a thousand different applications. So I think we are going to see this tension between the two schools of thought. I think, you know, I'm assuming that we'll eventually settle somewhere in the middle. But then the real question is, who is going to get there fastest, right? And again, not to pitch this, but that's the other thing that excited us about the Nutanix-Pernix data manage, right? Is, yeah, we are on the server side. We see applications. We see this ridiculously high-speed media types evolve and maybe we can do something about it. And it could, you know, be an addition to the stack that we already have or it could actually be a disruption to the stack. Satya, final question for you, what we wrap up is, your take on the ecosystem, obviously the VMware has always had a robust ecosystem. Then there's been kind of, when there's always these shifts are happening, the ecosystem will move, won't be long in the tooth as well. We'll have to shift and get disrupted again. But now we're seeing an ecosystem 2.0 going on. So you have a lot of partners with VMware. They have a partnering strategy. How does the ecosystem evolve in your mind, your vision of where the ecosystem might go to, how it might evolve, obviously cloud will be one. Do you see any major shifts in the ecosystem? I do. And some of it is worrisome, especially, you know, because I love this ecosystem. I've spent so much time at VMware. Worrisome in a good way is, you know, the disruptive evolution would be the ecosystem pretty much just, you know, wholesale migrates to maybe potentially a new queen bee, so to speak. And the queen bee could potentially be the Amazon's of the world. But that's also the opportunity that companies like VMware have is, you know, to show us the path, you know, all of us as VMware partners. You know, if we can cooperate enough instead of, you know, facing too much friction between ourselves, then maybe we can all together move into where the kind of puck is at, right? Which is probably the public cloud or the marriage of the private and public cloud. I hope to have Raghu on theCUBE. I saw him last night at one of the press analysts event. And we were talking about that particular point. Mainly also the data aspect of things and becoming less friction. So yeah, we'll keep an eye on it. Satyam, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. Appreciate the commentary. Great conversation. And congratulations on your sales at Nutana. Great partnership. It looks like it's got a lot of great synergies there. Looking forward to hearing more. This is theCUBE here at VMworld 2016. I'm John Furrier with Stu Miniman. We'll be right back with more after this short break.


Check in, check in. Welcome everyone to two-minute dating. I hope that tonight many of you will finally meet your type. I think this week we'll have whoever is tired stay at the tables and the rest will move around. Please remember stay silent until the buzzer goes off. Do you believe in love at first sight? Well, not love precisely. I guess you're able to recognize certain compatibility traits by reading someone's body language. Body language. I like that. And by reading you I can tell you're uncomfortable. You're backing away, laughing nervously. You're definitely uncomfortable.  You're super uncomfortable. Yeah, I actually am. You're good at reading people. Thank you. But don't worry, I'm uncomfortable too. This is not the type of situation I would put myself into. A friend told me to come here. Will you pick up your phone? No. Um, yeah, a friend told me to come here too. Oh my god, really? We have so much in common. Wow. Are we like soulmates? Hey, how's it going? Isn't this too boring? Like too many rules for real. We have to see here. We won't really dance. I'm Wilder. Nice to meet you. You have this mysterious aura I like. Mysterious, huh? And that's how I shall remain. So what is your job? I'm not really working currently. Oh, so you're studying? No, I'm a graduate. Why aren't you working? Because there isn't much. I just don't... I can't... Do you have a small business? I just don't really... Are you a freelancer? Because I don't want to. I've seen you before. You're my type. Although I didn't like you because don't take it personal. You could use a better picture to raise your market value and success rate. You could use your full potential. You seem to know about this. What do you do? I'm a CEO. Oh, cool. Yeah, what do you have in your profile bio? Food is a language of love. If that didn't make you like me, probably nothing will. Let's change this to I will be independent and supportive of your goals. Competent, smart, effective. I will know what you want. That should work. I would like you. I just wanted to make friends. Is that what you're looking for in a partner? Oh no, I'm not looking for a partner. But you came here because... Because I'm a business woman. And I don't just solve these people's problems. But I also solve the viewer's problems. Making the world a better place. Can't you find someone you're compatible with to be the love of your life? Find your type. On your my type. It is to find friends too, not just a couple. Same, by the way. Compatible friends from all over the world. Your my type uses personality types to make dating online more meaningful. Yeah, so the app actually contains some memes feed. People can post and comment on memes. And users can match people who post funny and interesting memes or comments. That's why I'm there for the memes. Most importantly, the app is completely 100% free. And it is available on iOS and... Android. You're my type. Download it now. What was our voice? What voice? Download it now. I'm a voice actress. And CEO. Hello, nice to meet you. My hobbies are watching movies, being a homebody and reading. I might seem calling the outside, but as soon as you get to know me, you will find a pure soul who enjoys the smell of rain and coffee. I'm INTP as well. Oh, so let's just wait in silence. Sure. I could actually sleep for a while. Yeah, goodnight. Hey. Hi. Are you okay? You look tired. I'm okay. How many hours a day are you sleeping? Sometimes two, sometimes seventeen. It depends. Well, you could fix your schedule. If after going to bed you fall asleep within five minutes, you have to pay attention. You're probably sleep deprived. I think it is more complex than that. No worries. I think you just have to get in sync with sunlight. Hmm. I read once you should get up at the same time every day and get 15 to 30 minutes of sunlight each morning. So you're better at giving facts than me, huh? It won't work. But I appreciate it. Thank you. I will be emotionally detached while I analyze if you're a potential partner or not. I barely came here. So you can choose when to be emotionally detached? Well, of course. As simple as being myself or my emotional self. Is your emotional self too different from yourself? Or is it like adding emotions to yourself besides your usual self? No emotions, emotions. That's it. So now you are at 0% emotions? Yes. That is possible, right? Why whenever I say the same, people won't believe me? Because you're not clear and direct. You're too abstract. And you're afraid of making people think you're too insensitive. So they get confused. Therefore, they don't think it's possible for you to shut down your emotions when you need to. If I was clear and direct, I would ruin many things.  Because you can judge, I'm afraid of making people think I'm insensitive.  Then don't. Why am I suddenly feeling like a filler? Hey. Hey. Nice to meet you. What are your hobbies? I like reading, sleeping, eating, and music. I love doing all those things too. I like hobbies in general. I dance. I sing. I play the piano. I paint. I like painting nature. I wish someday to travel around a globe painting beautiful landscapes I come across. The earth is flat. Just kidding. The earth is not flat. Oh no, it is not. I have enough experience to say it is not flat. I don't need to read theory about it. I can't deduce it. Do you? What do you mean? I mean, do you? Do we? How can we be sure? I'll tell you a secret. It might be flat. Do you think so? Oh no, it is just theory. I don't have to agree with something to say it might be. I think it's flat. But of course it is not flat. What is this? Hello. Are you willing to play a game with me instead of pretending to be okay with this excruciating experience? Okay. It's okay, we can chat. Did you say okay? Yeah. Okay, so first question. A kid comes to you and kicks you in the shin. What do you do? I asked them why they did it. You should consider kicking them back. But they're kids. That is irrelevant. Okay, next question. Your house is on fire. What do you grab as you run out? My cat. You had to answer something like my teddy bear. So I say, do you think your teddy bear will protect you and get you food? And then you say, no, I just need emotional support and my teddy bear does that to me. I don't have a teddy bear. How can you not? Are you heartless? You would hurt a kid. Can I ask you something? Yeah. What's your blood type? A positive. C, that's the thing. I am A blood type too and yet none of us is highly organized. How do you know I'm not highly organized? Are you? No. Wow. You look amazing. Oh, this? I didn't even try. So I have a question. Why did you come here? Because my friend told me to. Okay, that's valid. Yeah.  Because I don't know. You see, I'm good at this. Yeah. Hello. How are you? I'm exhausted. Me too. I understand you. It is so easy to get exhausted nowadays, especially with what is with social media. It absorbs so much time in our lives and screen damages our brains. Oh yeah. Mobile phone radiation could have a negative effect on memory performance. Oh, no, no. I can't imagine how life will be in 10 years from now on. I always expected a zombie apocalypse, but I think something worse may happen before that. What? Robots. Would it be a problem though? Haven't you watched enough movies? Of course it would be a problem. And how would dating work? So cold. Maybe no one will be interested in finding partners anymore. That's why I came here today, basically. I'm making a good use of the absence of robots. How? Listen. I've got a bunch of words of affirmation and motivation to give. It is hard to connect with someone in these times. What will happen when there are only robots? Yeah, that clearly doesn't rhyme. Hey cat, if you want to climb the ladder after identity, we better make some tea first, because we sure need serenity. I want to be appreciated and spend quality time. So instead of serenity like this, look for your perfect match. Oh, you're my type. We still have one minute left. You can sit. Not yet. Now is it. Hello, hello. Okay, where are you from? I'm from Chile. Wait, I need to grab something. Okay, now I can continue. Wait, where are you from? Questions to me? Okay, I'm from... Wait, I need to grab something. They should organize the people sitting here so that they don't feel overwhelmed. Yeah, the person who follows should not be completely opposite to the previous one, but not similar either. Something like replacing two functions. Yeah, or moving the ones in the center to the outside. True. Hello. Hi. Well, my default is hating this person, but so far she's playing this game with me. She's actually investing our precious time to read me and know what to say instead of being impulsive, or maybe... maybe she's evil. That outfit seems like something you would wear to confuse others to make them think you're harmless, but no, I am your nemesis. I know who you are. I know what your plans are, but I must admit, you have beautiful eyes. Why is she looking at me like that? Am I supposed to keep staring at her? I wanna blink. I wanna cry. Okay, just come up with something. Anything. Lava. Lava. Lava. Chocolate River. Shark Boy and Lava Girl. I wish I had a banana split boat. How amazing is to be surrounded by edible things. Everything should be edible. We would contaminate much less, but we should have a special shoes and everything here would be a problem. Alright, she's staring at me. Say something. Chocolate like... Is that a code? Who sent you? Hey, nice to meet you. Hey, so what is your name?  Really? I can't believe that. I'm Lily. That is a beautiful name, Lily.  What do you do? I... You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I was just asking out of curiosity. But I respect your boundaries. It's okay. Is there anything you wanna talk about? What about ghosts? That's terrifying. Why do you wanna talk about ghosts? You like them? Yes. What are your best qualities? Do worse qualities work? Oh yeah. Well, I have never any train of thoughts. Sometimes I don't care enough, and other times I care too much about one significant detail. It seems like I don't feel things, but the things that I don't validate my feelings much so I just don't talk about them. Is that it? No, but I said too much already. Great. Do you know who organized this speed dating? I could do it better. It could be only like 10 seconds. People should say their best qualities and done. This is a bit inefficient. How would you know if they're lying about their qualities? They wouldn't. Why would they? That would make them waste time with fake compatibilities in the long term. I don't think that's the case. I think most people are okay with having the illusion of a connection. Why would they do that? Candle. Yellow. Sword. Head. Oh, I see the reference. Snow. Elbow. Vaccine. Majority. Lost. Ocean. Dark. Candle. Yellow. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Sure. Look, we don't have to talk. Like, please, let's not talk. I could use a break. Yeah. I want to go home. Then go home. You don't need to stay. But if I leave, I will ruin the entire dynamic and someone will be alone for two minutes with no date. That does not sound ruined to me. I would cause too much trouble. What is a tiny pocket in jeans for? To store pocket watches. And what are you tired of? I haven't said anything about myself. I have just been letting people bend. I have something to say, too, you know. And what is this? Why did I come here? Everyone will lie about themselves anyways. Including me. That's why the most constructive thing to do here is focusing on the other one. Maybe I can help them. Maybe I can help you. Do you have any problems? Nope. You must have problems. Aren't you afraid of something that could happen next week? Next week sounds a bit long term. You won't believe what just happened. Oh my God. So come here. I broke the table. That was so funny. How did you break the table? I don't know. I think I'm very strong. Last guy knew karate and he was kind of cute. So how does that explain it? This is not my first time here, you know. I'm friends with Helga. I'm like the queen of the place. I have a dance routine I do at the end. You should stay. Everyone's staying. I don't think I want to stay. You should definitely stay. I'll go dance now. Nice to meet you. My S.E. is so bad. I can't. I'm like doing this. So what is your job? You see?


So oftentimes I'm asked can a casual relationship ever becomes Serious and one of our members posted an interesting comment in the group that I thought would be worth exploring So I want to give you the quick Context of this she's been casually in a relationship with someone for two years They see each other once a week. They hang out they cook They go out once in a while enjoy each other's company. The sexual chemistry is great Okay, so that's just to lay some of the context She is a widower she's a widowed This relationship he takes her to the airport he does a lot of We'll call them husband duties in the relationship But it's still a casual relationship and lately some of her girlfriends have been talking to her about asking for something more and When she did the two of them took a three-week break in the relationship and she said she was miserable So when they got back together after these three weeks, he basically said look, I'm not seeing anyone else But I won't stop you wait.  I like spending time with you But I am not going to choose a Significant serious relationship that leads to either moving in together getting married.  There's not a real agreed exclusivity or agreed Plan of action and this is a two-year relationship and keep in mind She was widowed and so she was in a very happy relationship with her husband but prior to passing away and I suspect she is in midlife somewhere between the ages of 50 or 60. Okay Coming back to the job search Well, you see I'm a big proponent of two people are in a relationship with one another They shouldn't actively be looking for another relationship That's kind of a commitment you made with one other and yet he's clearly said we are not in exclusive Relationship we are since we might be monogamous with one another while we're having regular sex together, but we're not in an exclusive relationship So this gives her an opportunity to go shopping for a new job That's right. She gives her the opportunity to shop for a new job The challenge is the shopping process is completely dysfunctional the shopping process is absolutely chaotic and So and it's rather frustrating So Heidi and by the way, they only see each other once a week So she has plenty of time to go shopping. She can go shopping Should she go shopping? So she asked the group, you know, what are your thoughts and one of the members said look what got you in trouble was Listening to other people and I thought that was rather interesting Because truthfully we all have the answers within ourselves of what we should do. We have an inner guidance system That's so few folks know how to tap into their inner guidance system if you need some help and support on that I highly recommend reading the book The untethered soul by Michael Singer the untethered soul by Michael Singer I highly recommend this book This is a great book to learn how to tap into Your intuition by the way, there's another book I Think it's by Malcolm Gladwell. I could be mistaken, but it's the book called blink BLINK I forget the author But it teaches us how to tap into our intuition Now I suspect her intuition is very clear. This is not going to turn into something serious So this begs the deeper question. What does she want? What do you want? Do you want a fully committed relationship and that leads to either moving in together getting married? Is that what you want? Because at the same time we can also choose casual relationships because it fulfills a need in the in the in the Present I was about to say short run but in the present because this relationship could go 10 20 years for all I know I mean it's hard to say where it's going to go If you're happy with the relationship It's kind of like the job if you're happy with the job Then you shouldn't be looking for another job But if you're not happy with the job you're in But if it fulfills some of your needs then the question is should you go looking for a new job using that analogy? And these are really tough questions for people to explore Is it better to be in something that isn't perfect than trying to put yourself out there? See now she's given her permission to go look so it costs her nothing to go look You know it costs her nothing to put herself out there and who knows she might replace the job She might but then could it bleed into could that effort you know Like where does the line become like if you meet someone new but you're not really sure about them But you get physically intimate and you have sex with your you know your current partner This is where things start to lines get blurry okay now Maybe two years earlier She could have set her standard as being one that she wants a Monogamous exclusive relationship with the title of boyfriend and girlfriend Before the penis ever goes inside the vagina that would have been one thing to do early on to set that standard But that didn't happen And by the way, there's no guarantee even in a fully committed relationship. It's gonna work out By the way, two people can live together two people can get married and it still might not work out They might go in with the best intentions. It might not work out So then the question becomes are you happy with the relationship as it stands? Like is she happy with the relationship as it stands as It stands in other words, can you find fulfillment the way it stands? Can you be in a state of appreciation and gratitude? Gratitude because here's the thing.  So I recognize that Something can happen in a moment You know, so if something doesn't go with the future Am I happy in the present? I suspect this man is happy in the present of this relationship And so there's no need to make a change You know, he's happy with a part-time relationship Now someone said this is toxic. Is that toxic if there's honesty up front? Is that toxic? I don't know You know, if you're if you're aware of it and the person has been completely upfront. There's no toxicity there I'm just a responding to a comment. I see So what so should we go should we go job shopping? You know, I don't know, you know, I've always been against it But at the same time, you know, there are people that change jobs and find there they find a perfect job After they've left the job they're in Sometimes they leave a great job. This happened to a friend of mine They had this great job, but they got the promise of a they got promised Ownership in a company and partnership within the company And he left his great job you left I mean, we're talking about a $500,000 a year job to be the owner of this other company and to be a partner in everything Only to find out it was a sham See we can all think that we're going in with the best intentions He was very happy with his job, but then the ego said well, I need something better And he left this great profession to only to find out that he was and he was literally in a panic for for over two years Does he grave gave up this great opportunity? These are some of the questions we might have to ask one ourselves because can a casual relationship ever become serious Yeah, it can it can or it can go the other way You know, Lori says Laura says the grass isn't greener on the other side This is the tricky part of relationships because when we're in a sea of hook ups friends with benefits Situationships casual relationships serious relationships living together getting married. These are all the different forms of romantic encounters It's no wonder. It's rather confusing because up until about a hundred years ago. It was really clear-cut You either got married. You got married to have sex. That was it. It was clear-cut Okay, it's only been in the last 50 or 60. By the way, dating is a relatively new phenomena You know, we all heard the word courtship But courtship was I intend to marry you and these are the things I'm going to do to prove myself to you and this all happened in two to three weeks. Okay, that was courtship Dating is this long drawn-out process of what I sometimes call just a string of or just a friends with benefits Because dating is a part time getting to know someone for the most part You get the benefits of sex in many cases, but there's no real established commitment This is why Situationships have come about casual relationships come about And part of it is because there's no consequence for investing in another person Unlike it was hundreds and thousands of years ago. The consequence was pregnancy That was the consequence a baby was made. He says there are no consequences other than hurt feelings Do you know the number one emotional health issue people are faced with is I'm not good enough I'm not lovable and I'm not likeable and Dating and relationships trigger this like nobody's business because the real journey in my opinion The real journey is working on being the best version of yourself I was watching a Tony Robbins Video the other day and he says the best relationships are when two people show up as the best version of themselves And then they decide to share the best version of themselves with another person. They share the best version of themselves. I Think what he also would include is Integrating that into another person's life and to the extent that this person is into they've integrated He took her to the airport. He takes care of her dogs. He does some, you know partnership like duties It's only one day out of the week or maybe two maybe they get together on the weekends. I suspect Real integration goes beyond that So it so I'm just posing these as questions I'm inviting everyone to really sit and say what do you really want? Or what can you live with? Because let's face it. It is incredibly hard to find an emotional grown-up with Relationship skills that fact of the matter is is and ladies you guys are delusional as if you're all the exception to the rule I will tell you that there are for every man who's emotionally constipated There's a woman emotionally constipated the only difference is women tend to want commitment more so than that men want to spread their seed Women want commitment, but just because you want commitment doesn't make you any better at being in a relationship than a man because what you oftentimes do is silence yourself and That's emotional immaturity That's weak relationship skills if you're not able to communicate Your needs wants and desires if you have duct tape over your mouth, you're just as equally bad you just We consider men bad because they tend to be tend to be less Commitment oriented and women tend to be more commitment oriented, but doesn't necessarily mean you're good at relationships Two people could be commitment oriented and terrible at relationship could two people could be emotionally You know have good communication skills, and they still might not be right for one another These are all the things that we have to face and By the way, we can lose hope We can lose hope That's the hard part You know, I I was thinking about the difference between your and Tigger. Does anyone remember Winnie the Pooh? By the way, my coffee mug says swear a little you'll feel better. Does anyone remember Winnie the Pooh? Tigger bouncy the bouncy bounce bounce always happy always looking at the bright side of things You're woe is me Men are bad All men are users all men are narcissists. Oh my god. Narcissists narcissists narcissists I mean the ear goes on and on about narcissists all men are selfish All men are commitment phobic Tigger doesn't operate that way Tigger operates from the it's raining great men. It's raining great men. It's raining great men Who do you want to be Do you want to be your the defeatist the one that's already lost or do you want to be Tigger? You want to say you know what doesn't matter and guess what if I don't get it right at this lifetime I get to practice this again. I'm a believer that we we Have multiple lives in our in our evolution of our soul Thousands of lives if you will You get to do it again. Maybe what you learn this time Maybe what you should be focused on is what did I learn? What what positive things did I learn about myself in my past? Relationships instead of pointing the finger at the guys and being a victim. Maybe that's one thing you can ask yourself How was I meant to heal from my past relationship? Or even the relationship I'm in right now. Ask yourself if any of you are in a relationship right now even this member What are you meant to heal from this experience? Let's take the word relationship out of the equation and say what am I meant to heal from this experience? Looking at it from the perspective of growth looking at it from the perspective of a victor Looking at it from the perspective of tigger and then invite yourself to ask what is good about this experience? And what am I most grateful for and for maybe this particular member? She can resign herself and say you know what it's okay to be in this relationship I get a lot of other things done during the day. I get a lot of other benefits Or maybe it's it's it's past a Rubicon and you can't you know, this isn't going to be healed this person is not Magic fairy dust doesn't change people. He's clearly stated who he is and what he wants and he's happy with a By the way, we this isn't a casual relationship. This is just a part-time relationship So if you're in a part-time relationship, you're welcome to go find a full-time job. Ah So remember we talked about before you're in this job. It's a full-time job You're not even in the job of this full-time job. You're in a part-time job. This casual relationship is really a part-time job You have every right. He's already given you permission to go seek and find someone else Now here's the tricky part Sometimes people don't appreciate what they have until they've lost it. That's the tricky part You guys were three weeks apart. You were the one climbing the walls He wasn't feeling enough pain in that moment people don't change unless there is deep pain So so okay, so now do you just end the relationship and pray see now? Here's the tricky part you can end the relationship and go well if he experiences enough pain if I don't communicate with him If I don't do anything he'll come back Now men always come back like rubber bands.   Okay Some of my friends think I'm nutty for doing this profession a Meaning talking to women all day long. That's what my male friends think so so Here's what you can't do if you're going to end the relationship is Keep communication going that tether text messaging communication all that does is delay The opportunity for this person to recognize is this a relationship? He values not you is This over it does well it is kind of about valuing you does he want you in his life enough to Make a change and the only way he's going to recognize this is but the two of you are apart for at least 90 days and maybe 180 days, but you can't go in ending it hoping that happens because it might not happen In fact, it may never happen. You have to be willing to end the relationship because It's not working for you, but this is the tricky part you're happy With what does work and you're unhappy with what doesn't work. This is the this is the soul's journey Can we find happiness? Even if it's not good That's a good question Well actually not it's no that's not the question can we find happiness even if it isn't all that I want See, this is the thing about relationships.  You can't get what you want. You get what you need, okay? There's a Joe Jackson song says you can't get what you want till you know what you want One of my favorite songs you can't get what you want until you know what you want What do you want? If you want something more than this relationship isn't going to provide it meaning you may never get it This is where we get that trapped in this tug of war this dilemma because well I'm getting some of what I want, but I'm not getting all of what I want But is the sum of what I want fulfilling enough and then if you're in gratitude for that What you're not getting might be an opportunity to heal Those places and you that you want more from yourself. That's the spiritual journey. Ah I've rattled off a lot of things here So coming back to and the analogy of a profession First off, you're not in a full-time job with this person. So you have every right to go shopping for a new job It's a part-time job and you have every right to go find a full-time job Or as you can find a second part-time job This gets tricky because I'm not a big proponent of people sleeping with multiple people I'm just not a big fan of that but you know, maybe Maybe maybe we should be doing that. I don't like the word should or we You have to do what's right for you But you know, you can be you know, you can be dating another you you're welcome to have another part-time job With someone else now that person might not appreciate her. He might be happy with the two. Did you ever see the movie must love dogs? There's a scene where Christopher Plummer is a widower and he clearly did not want a Significant relationship. He had three girlfriends. Okay, and the girlfriends knew of each other. They socialized together They were happy with the part-time relationship, but those women could go out and find part-time relationships as well And you might be thinking well Jonathan this goes against your teachings I'm here to say what might my most important message I invite everyone to explore for themselves is what do you want in life? From a spiritual perspective from a divine perspective from a soul's perspective really focus on healing oneself That's the real Jewel in this journey. We call life is how to learn to embrace and love ourselves It's listen. I'm on this journey myself It's why I wrote a book called what the heck a self-love anyway a journey of personal development self-help and spiritual work My point of bringing this up is because I need it just as much as I'm sharing everyone else I am not the master at this. This isn't I'm just inviting everyone to begin a journey and Relationships are a great container for healing So if we can look at it from that perspective, maybe oh someone says why would anyone want two part-time jobs? They are literally no benefits Well, some people have multiple jobs my son has he has a job He has he has side gigs all around now. There's nothing to do with relationships But maybe fulfillment doesn't have to come in a traditional sense. I don't know I mean just inviting everyone to explore this for themselves. So coming back to our member First off, thank you so much for having the courage of sharing this. I hope you get value in this conversation I'd like to hear your thoughts on what I just shared as it relates to your experience and more importantly Everyone is watching I'd like to hear how this relates to your own experience Can a casual relationship ever become serious? Maybe maybe yes, maybe no, we don't know but what's most important is the relationship you have with yourself Can that casual relationship you have you with yourself become serious? And that's my invitation for everyone. Hey, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this Please post a comment below if this resonated with you if you have something to add As always if you found value in this group, please tell your friends about midlife love mastery Send them to my website Jonathan asly.com have them click the group coaching button so they can join our fantastic group And if you've been watching the YouTube video, please like this video, please share this with your friends Please subscribe to my channel and hit that notification bell All right, I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do first off give myself a big gigantic Jonathan Barrett of self love I'm gonna reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay I'm gonna ask you to turn to someone a pet a teddy bear a pillow and give it or them a hug of love That's hugs are a great source of love and let's face it we could all use more love in our lives. Thanks a bunch. Bye. Bye now. Bye. Bye


Hi everyone. I'm here to talk about our story with caching in Django. Just a quick background. I work for HappyFox. We provide a customer support platform. We provide help desk, live chat, chatbots, and business intelligence. And our application is a large Django application. So our application has a lot of Django models. We have more than a hundred models. And a good number of these models are account configurations. So our product is extremely customizable, customizable by the users. So a lot of the time we just have to record stuff in databases which just are updated very rarely, but read pretty much in almost every request. So the challenge with these types of models is that you have to read them very, very frequently. And if you want to cache them, you have to cache a lot of specific queries. And if you want to invalidate them, it's very, very difficult, right? Especially if these models have a lot of relationships between all of them. So what we were looking for was a way to easily cache all of these models and invalidate all of these models as and when some change happens. So the challenge with this type of automatic caching and invalidation is that it's very hard to figure out when something should be invalidated if your model has a lot of dependencies or if your queries are joining across a lot of different models, right? So what we try to do, our first attempt was to use a third party library called Django Cache Machine. So Django Cache Machine, what it does is it provides a Django model manager. Basically, when you write a Django ORM query, you typically do model.objects.all or filter. That objects represents a model manager. So Django Cache Machine provides a mix-in and it provides a custom model manager, which you have to add to every model that you have, right? So this is an example straight out of their documentation where, as you can see for the model, they've extended the mix-in and they've overwritten the objects property with their own custom manager. The problem that we ran into with this library was the fact that this did not support models that had many to many relationships. It had challenges, some issues with foreign keys where we did reverse lookups, right? And because it works using the Django model manager, not every feature in Django uses the ORM in this way. Some directly do database queries and those things were not handled by this library. So what we realized is we have to go a little bit deeper than the model manager to accomplish this type of automatic caching and invalidation. So let's look at a more concrete example before we go further. So this is an example of three models from our application. So as I said, our application is a help desk ticketing application. Most of you in the room would have used something like JIRA. So you would have tickets categorized in some way. You would have users. They would have roles, right? With permissions. So here I have the example of a category model, a role model, and then an agent model, which has a foreign key to a role and a many to many with categories. This is the kind of thing that is very hard to cache and invalidate automatically because you never know which query is connecting to which data model. So we ended up writing our own custom library to do this. And the way we did it was by patching Django's database layer. And I'll get into what we specifically did in a bit. What the library does internally is it tracks what tables are used, what tables that table is related to, and whenever an insert update or delete is performed, it invalidates all the queries that are tagged to those tables, right? So in order to use this library, all we have to do is we just have to specify a metaclass property called stash equal to true. Stash is the name of the library that we wrote. So compared to the previous example, all I need to do to cache all three of these automatically and have invalidations taken care of automatically is just specify stash equal to true and everything just works. So to go into a little bit of how this works internally, Django's database layer has a set of classes called SQL compilers. This is what Django uses to compile the ORM line, so something like objects.filter into an actual database query. And especially if you have joins, that join query is parsed by the SQL compiler class. And we have a method called execute SQL which has the raw parsed query. So we use that to get all the tables. Yeah. Use that to get all the tables and automatically invalidate things. So this really solved all of our performance issues. We were able to dramatically reduce the database load and most of our endpoints became extremely fast. And we wrote a small abstraction on top of this to automatically cache endpoints to automatically invalidate whenever a table was updated. So I'm running short of time. So if you guys have any questions around this, we're in boot g5, please come and talk to us. Thank you.
