Well, in there something. Ah, dude! Baaaaaah, dude! If you were hungry, you could have just said something, man. We could have fed you! Baaaaaah, dude! What's up, everyone? Welcome back to Realistic Gaming. Today, Junior's not here, so it's my turn to take over. And I'm gonna play this new game called Squidward's Prediction. And it's supposed to be a scary SpongeBob game, you know? We love playing all those SpongeBob games, so let's check it out. Look at Squidward already. He's looking back at me. What's up, bro? Turn around. Say hi. Alright, let's go. Let's check it out. Patrick and SpongeBob plan to spend the night together and watch new episodes with Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Okay, sounds like a normal day. Okay. It was a terrible mistake. Alright, let's see. SpongeBob? Oh, okay. So I guess I'm supposed to be Patrick. So let's see. Let's see what we find here. It's pretty dark, huh? Okay, something here. It says to find SpongeBob, so let's see. Just that noise. Sounded weird. Alright. Oh, here we go. SpongeBob, are you here? Oh, there's the waste he'd be lifting. Two pounds. Nice. Let's see. Let's look around and see if we find anything. And if we can grab anything. Okay, so we have to go into this room. So let's see what's in here. Can we check the fridge? No? I'm a little bit hungry. I'm trying to check the fridge. Feel me? Alright, so let's grab this. On the ground. Okay. Can't grab that either. A bunch of crabby patties right there. They're kind of good. See the restroom? SpongeBob? Oh, SpongeBob? SpongeBob? Oh, look at that picture. They're so cute. Oh, what's over here? Patrick, if you're reading this, you're already here. Something is going on in my basement. It's probably aggressive shells anyway. I'll deal with it and come back. I left crabby patties on the table. You can have a bite. Oh, well thank you, SpongeBob. Okay, now we can eat the crabby patties. Okay, cool. Oh, did you hear that? Kind of heard his footsteps. See in here? SpongeBob? Can I go in the basement now or what? Oh, dude, look. There's blood now going from the basement. SpongeBob, are you in there? Whoa, whoa! What is that? Is that like a big chunk of meat? Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, maybe I gotta eat the other crabby patties. I think I saw other crabby patties in here. No? Can I grab this now? Pick up the phone. Where's the phone? Probably in the living room, man. Oh, no, it's in here. There's nobody answering. Hello? SpongeBob, is that you? SpongeBob, bro, we're looking for you, bro. You've been out. He just clicked on me. He's been out all day. He just clicked on me. Look, we ain't looking for him. He's so inconsiderate. Oh, yo, there's something in here. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I hear footsteps. SpongeBob! I don't remember clothes. Why is it so dark in here now? I don't see anything. Nothing in here. Hey, what's in here? I can't even see anything. What is in here? Let's turn the light. Oh, wait, is that like a dead body or something? Oh, there's like a chunk of meat or something. Gotta stop playing with me. Oh! What the heck?  Yo, SpongeBob, where you at, bro? You didn't pay your light bill, get... There is. There's like a chunk of meat in here. I don't hear walking on it. Hey, yo, SpongeBob, stop playing with me, bro. You know, when I get scared, I start swinging. I start swinging, bro.  Wait, this door wasn't closed earlier. Squidward! Wait, he can't! They just killed Mr. Krabs? Yo, what is that? Yo, was that Squidward with no head? Oh, there's Mr. Krabs right there. What happened to my flashlight? Bro, they killed Mr. Krabs. Look, they took his arm. They took everything. SpongeBob, bro, if you were hungry, you could have just said something, man. We could have fed you. Ah, dude! Yo, we gotta fix this.  Yo, SpongeBob, bro, where you at? Where are you at? Stop playing with me! What am I looking for? Oh, it's open! Looks like I did it in Photoshop. Let's go, let's go in here. I hate these jump scares, man. Wait, isn't this where I came from? No, I gotta go the other way. I gotta go this way. It's playing with me right now. Beautiful picture, man.  Oh, look at that picture. It has blood on it now. Oh, another chunk of meat. Who's that supposed to be? SpongeBob? SpongeBob? Alright, let's keep walking this way. Where's that Squidward? I thought SpongeBob was the evil one. Where's Squidward doing all this? What's over here? Bro, you better not play with me, bro. Don't play with me. Do not play with me, bro. I hear your shoes. Oh, SpongeBob, no! What they do to you, bro? God, this thing is from hell. And I came downstairs. I heard a noise coming from the pantry. And this thing was rummaging around there, looking for something. And when it saw me, it started running. I rushed to the exit from the basement, but he got there faster and bit off my effin' hand. I hid in the pantry, but I had to get to the second exit until he got me. Why? SpongeBob, bro. I can't believe you did that to you. How he write that after they got him? Collect three keys, bro. What are you doing to me right now? Oh! Oh, that was a picture. Wait, I gotta find the keys now. Oh! What the heck was that? Yo, Squidward chill, bro. Yo, do you know where the keys are at? I'm looking for three keys, bro. Dude's rude. Rude. Dude, look at this picture of Squidward. Wait, what's in here? Is this another door? Did I come through here? No, it's locked. Let's go here to the picture. I gotta find these keys, bro. Stop playing with me. Just leave me alone, y'all. I need some keys. That's it. Is this where it came from? Go this way this time. Oh, dude, look at that picture. Dude, what is this? Oh, I found the key finally. Do I hear him walking around? Where is he? He killed like a whole well in there or something. Squidward chill, bro. Just went to get a key. That is all. Thank you. Oh! What are you playing, bro? Yeah, keep walking over there. Just took all my keys like nothing, bro. Can I get them back, man?  Cause I'm not having this. Wow, I gotta get all the keys? Yo, if I die here, I'm dying.  Oh, I thought the other key was here. Oh, he's right here. Get any one more key. As long as he doesn't come over here, we're good. Collect three keys? Took my keys, bro? Bro, did you take my keys? I had two keys. Not only got three. All right, you know what? I don't know what's happening. I think it's glitching or something. It keeps taking away my keys.  I might have to tell a junior to beat this game cause he's way better at these type of games. What is up, you guys?  I left on a mini vacation. I was out in Seattle. I went to Portland and then Washington. It was pretty cool. Although it was a little too cold out there. I'm usually out here in California. It's pretty sunny most of the time. But out there is a different story. And today we are on this plankton is not dead. So I'm not sure if he's dead or not. By the title, he's not dead. So let's go ahead and begin with this. Let's see what this is. Okay, easy, medium, hard. Let's zoom. Let's zoom medium. Just in between, you know? Okay, story. Plankton stole five Krabby Patties from you. You have to take them back to the Krusty Krab. All right, plankton. You got that menacing little... What is he? Like a little critter? I don't know exactly what he is. A plankton, I guess. All right, let's go ahead and begin. Okay, task return five Krabby Patties. Oh, what? Are we missing Krabbs? Bro, you hear that every time I... Like we walk, right? Listen. Oh, me first Krabby Pattie boy. Spongebob boy. Okay, so we are Mr. Krabbs. Yo, I can't... Okay, this is too much. Every time we walk, we hear his little footsteps. Oh, Karen! Oh, my God. Karen! I think Karen is dead.  Karen. Okay, let's go out here. We open this. Okay, plankton. Where the heck is plankton, man? I can't trust that dude. He's a little savage. Okay, oh, my God.  Yo, is that plankton? What? Okay, we are dead. We're pretty much going to die here. Okay, we got plankton. Squidward! No! No! Yo, what was that, bro? That was pretty cheesy and cheap. All right, let's go ahead and start. I kind of want to go easy just to beat it. Let's try and beat it one more time. We'll probably... We'll beat it here, okay? We got one Krabby Pattie here. Okay, so we got to watch out for plankton. As we can see... Bro, he looks goofy. All right, um... Okay, let's go this way. Okay, we got one Krabby Pattie. Okay, he comes from that way. So let's just start running. Let's get a head start. Go to Papa? No, thank you, man. All right, we got two Krabby Patties. Okay, we're doing pretty good so far. There's blood everywhere, dude. Okay, oh, Sandy! You got her cheeks clapped, bro. Oh, my God. All right, we got four Krabby Patties. Okay, this is pretty easy. Like, once you find one, you keep on finding the next one. Oh, no, Patrick. Patrick didn't deserve this, man. Okay, we just need one more Krabby Pattie, yo. Okay, here, plankton. Okay, you know... No way! Okay, go, go. Gotta break... Oh, we just needed one more. We were so close, man. All right, let's try this again. I wonder what's the difference between easy, medium, and hard? Like, maybe on easy mode, plankton is way slower. I don't freaking know, man. But we work right there. We just need to find the last Krabby Pattie. Okay, then we gotta be quick. Quick and swift. Okay, go this way. Okay, there's no Krabby Pattie here, which is kind of... Maybe we have to go this way to get the last Krabby Pattie. Kind of want to go check, but... Plankton does come from that way. Go to papa! You look weird, though. Okay, no, nothing in here. I don't think we actually came this way. Actually, we did. Okay... Four... Bro, we just need one more. Come on. Come on! Where is it? Oh, no, I hear plankton. Is he coming? Where was he at? I couldn't even see him, bro. What the heck? What? There's a Krabby Pattie right here. Okay, that's the same Krabby Pattie as always. Okay. Two Krabby Patties? Okay, this is weird. I feel like we need to go this way. Oh, my God. SpongeBob! What? What the heck? Okay, we got one Krabby Pattie. I feel like they changed location, which is not good. We're going this way. Mr. Krabs, it's your quick little feat. Okay, we need to go around. We have to make him come around like this from here. And we got to wait for plankton. We got to wait for him to catch up to us so we can come around and go in the other way. Okay, we grab these over here. Okay, we got our third Krabby Pattie. So, fourth, we need to wait for him somewhere back here. Because if we try to go the other way, he's going to catch up to us. Okay, I'm going to let him come this way. I'm going to run towards the back. And he just appeared out of nowhere and just scared us. Okay, we are here. Where's the last Krabby Pattie, man? SpongeBob, no. The last one! Yes! Wait, what?  Okay, where exactly do we escape through? No! No! Bro, I just need... Okay, where do we escape from? I think you have to go back where Karen's at. And the last Krabby Pattie! Patrick was holding back. I knew it, man. Okay, now we need to get out. No, plankton's right on us. Oh my God, come on. Run, run, run. Dude, we cannot lose. We cannot lose. We're so close. Even though I don't know where the exit's at, but I think it's back where Karen is because there was like another door in that room. So, let's try to hurry up. Okay, we lost him. Okay, nice. We might actually do it here, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, let's go back in here. Okay, where's that door? Okay, it's got to be in here. I see another door. It's got to be this one, man. This has to be the exit. Please. You escaped? You successfully escaped. What? Man, all right. Well, that was... plankton is not dead. I wonder what happened inside the chumbucket because as we've seen, he killed everyone.  Like, I kind of want a backstory to it, man. Hey, guys. Realistic Gaming here, and today we're going to be reacting to part two of SpongeBob Zombie Attack. We did react to the first part where it ended. SpongeBob locking himself in the freezer surrounded by zombies. So, I don't know where part two is going to part take. So, let's go ahead and jump into this. Shout out to Cooler2000, by the way. This is his video. And... begin. Oh, yes. It rains underwater. Man, okay. What is that? That little... Isle or something? Dude, it seems like this guy has seen it all. What the heck? He's driving, but it doesn't look like it's moving.  I guess he's just driving off into the distance since. He did look a little... freaked out. Oh, no, the Krusty Krab. Surrounded by zombies. Make the lights go back on, Mike. Make them go back on. Okay, so they're terrified, stranded in there with no electricity.  Yes, you are, Mrs. Puff. Easy puff, baby. No one's gonna die. Yeah, just get the buff fish to beat them up, bro. Come on.  We can barely see. Okay, that's the... that's the angry fish. I forgot his name. It's Kevin. Relax, everyone. I have a generator that will turn the power back on. He's so selfish. He's like the only one with, like, light, you know? That's great. There's just one problem. It's outside in the back. Oh, great. That means someone has to go out through the zombie hoard and turn it on outside. Somebody's gonna have to go flip the switch.  I know I wouldn't, because I wouldn't want to die to zombies. Painful death, getting eaten alive? Just imagine that. No, buddy. Okay, who's gonna do it? I feel like they're gonna pick that one on the right. I'll do it. SpongeBob's gonna sacrifice himself, no way. I know where it's at, so I can be quick. Put SpongeBob. It's okay, Pat. I'll be okay. I think Patrick's all sad now. No, you're not. SpongeBob. SpongeBob. Crabs don't want to sacrifice him, because he's the one that makes the Krabby Patties. But I know where it is at. I can do it. He's right. Why don't they send the buff people, man? You're the only one who knows how to make a mean Krabby Patty. I told you guys. We can risk it. Well, I'm not going out there. Bro, nobody even asked him why he's mad. Me either. Me too. He's holding the plank. And we're not exactly fast. That's kind of true, but messed up. I know who. Oh, the nerd. Me? That's messed up. That's right. We busted our asses while you barely lifted a finger. Bro, they want to sacrifice him. Yeah. I mean, if he didn't contribute then he's got to go. But that's not true. I helped. Looking very nervous. Oh really? Does anyone recall him helping? They answer you, bro. I don't. I don't either. I don't remember him helping at all. There he is angry. Yeah, me either. Yeah, he didn't do anything. Bro, even the old people are calling him an out, bro. They're like, this dude did not contribute. He's got to go. No. No, you're all lying. That's it, bro. You're going to die, man. Make him go out and do it. I can't go out there all alone. I knew that we're going to pick that guy. Who? Me? We kind of look alike. You'll get them killed. Let me go instead.   Time to earn. Time to earn you stay. Let's go. Yeah, I don't know if they're going to actually survive this because there's a giant horn that's just waiting outside. There he goes. Coast is clear.  Don't be playing. Got it.  All right. Do you guys think they're actually going to make it? I don't have faith in these guys because they're just so terrified. But I mean, they might be clutch. You know, they might pull through. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Okay, so that's a good sign. It seems like they've made it to the panel. Come on, bro. Is this it? Yes, that looks like it. I don't know. Power it on, bro. We're like, you're taking forever. Now we just pull the lever down slowly. Dude, why are they just staring at it? They're like, they're trying to die out there. What's wrong with these fools, bro? Okay, nice. They actually managed to get the electricity on. No loser did it. Wow, he still insults them after they managed to pull through. Okay, power's back on. Everybody feels safe and happy, even though they're not entirely safe. They still got the zombies outside. Hey, now what? What's going to happen next? I should have done it. Let's go now. Yo, I knew they were going to die.  Oh, that is one big zombie. God, that was missing part of his head. Oh, that is twisted. It should have been back by now, right? Yeah, bro, they're getting feasted on. I'll see what's taking those two so long. Oh, don't open it. Don't open the door. Bro, he's going to let them in. Oh, he's seen it. He's like, oh, let me go right back in. They're like, guys? I don't want to say it, but look, everyone, the heroes are back. Oh, no way they take credit, right? You guys did it. Bro, they didn't even do anything in taking the credit. Let's hear it for the heroes. Look, that's messed up. We're not here. Well, we are pretty badass, right? Yo, they took the credit. That's messed up. Oh, yeah, we are. We're sure, bro. They took the credit. No way they sacrificed the other two. Where are the other two? There you go. Someone realized they didn't make it. What do you mean they didn't make it? Look, they hit a snake and got caught, OK? We did all that we could. I mean, not entirely. They let them go out and they just stood at the door. Like what? That's enough, SpongeBob. Yeah, Mr. Krabs could care less, huh? What? Don't drop the only one that fights for justice. Oh, my God. Who the frick cares about those two? Those people are savages, man. Like, who even is that? I've never seen that character, like that girl character before.  Bro, they were the most useful. They're the ones I got the power on. They got it all backward. That just means more food for us. But what's the problem? Bro, you're going to eat the entire food, man. What are you talking about?  They are pretty sick. But I'm about right. Same on all you people. Even Squidward agrees. You all make me sick. Yeah, what they said. I mean, they got to stick together, right? They're all friends. And they just realized that they are actual sick people.  Wait, is that the guy that was driving like, blindlessly just going straight? I think it might be. Listen here, young grateful little twats. We did all we could do for those two. Bro, they didn't do anything. It's survival of the fittest. Of course he was saying that. Just look at them.  Right, it's not so nice. It's a little aggro. Who heck with you? I'd rather take my chances out there. Heck you will. Uh oh. He's about to go down. Is he going to push SpongeBob? It's about time someone teaches you respect. Bro, somebody help him.  He's going to start with a punch, you know. But hey everyone, there's a car coming for us. I think you might actually want to move out the way, dude. Because that guy's just driving and not even like aware. Oh, he's getting closer. Don't tell me he's going to crash right into the Krusty Krab. What, he's flooring in now?  What is wrong with this man? We're saved, everybody. Dude, get the heck out of the way, bro. I freaking knew it. Okay, so not only did he crash into there, he's going to let all the zombies inside now. This is not good for everyone inside the Krusty Krab. Great, now the barricaded door is gone. Bro, look at the toes, bro. Oh, you got fungus. There's some mean mugging toes, bro. Oh, it's the guy that, it's that freaking zombie. One of the guys. Great, so now the zombies are inside of the Krusty Krab. I wonder what the heck they're going to do now. All right, well, that is the end of SpongeBob Zombie Attack. And there is a part three. So if you guys want me to react to that, you know, ask the like, drop a comment, share all that good stuff. Yeah, thank you all for watching, and I'll see you guys in the next one.


Superstar Usher's fascination with real estate began at the young age of 13 when he visited music producer Ellie Reed's mansion in Alpharetta, Georgia. By 1999 Usher purchased the historic 10,000 square foot estate for $1.2 million. After adding significant personal touches like a home dance studio, he sold it in 2018 for $1.5 million. In 2007, Usher acquired a sleek Atlanta property near the Mercedes-Benz Stadia, which was a modern home with three beds, three baths, a rooftop deck, and an open concept layout. Post-divorce in 2015, Usher bought a Spanish style home in West Hollywood for $3.3 million dollars, but these homes were also sold off. More recently in 2022, Usher bought the Hollywood Hills home of Cara and Poppy Delevingne for $3.4 million dollars. This eclectic property showcases unique design choices and this is still Usher's current residence. Usher Raymond was born in 1978 in Dallas, Texas and he experienced the rhythm of music early in life. Raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, his journey into the world of music began within the walls of his local church choir, where his talent was already clear. Usher's mother, Janetta Patton, recognized his extraordinary vocal gift and became a guiding force in nurturing it. Usher's rise to fame began with the release of his debut self-titled album Usher in 1994 when he was only 15. While the album hinted at his potential, it was the release My Way in 1997 that propelled him into the limelight. Throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, Usher's career soared with consecutive hits like You Remind Me and You Got It Bad. The release of his Confessions album in 2004 further solidified his status. Beyond the glitz and glamour of the stage, Usher's commitment to family and his home has been a huge part of his identity. His mother, Janetta, played a huge role in his personal and professional development. One of Usher's early high profile relationships was with Chilly Rizonda Thomas from the iconic group TLC. The Paris Chemistry extended from their collaborative work on the hit song You Got It Bad to a romantic connection that captured the public. While it didn't work out between them and Usher made some mistakes, they were an egg couple for quite some time. Following his romance with Chilly, Usher's love life took another turn when he married Tamika Foster in 2007. The union marked a chapter of both joy and scrutiny as the couple faced public attention and not the good kind. Their marriage resulted in the birth of two sons, Usher, Raymond the Fifth and Naveed Eli Raymond. However, this relationship faced challenges and led to divorce in 2009. In 2015, Usher embarked on a new chapter of love when he secretly married his manager Grace Miguel in Cuba. This intimate ceremony signaled a more private approach to his personal life. They shared several years together but in 2018, Usher and Grace announced their separation. Amidst the highs and lows of Usher's love life, one constant has been his commitment to his kid. Usher's role as a father has remained a steady and grounding force, regardless of the changing dynamics in his romantic relationships. When it comes to Usher's homes, there's something the singer had his eye on long before he began investing, and one in particular. As legend has it, Usher knew he found the mansion he'd one day own at the age of only 13. That was 1991, and Usher had just visited a stunning home in Alpharetta, Georgia, owned by music producer L.A. Reed. Usher said in 2003 about the property, I came into this house and I remember walking through it just being mesmerized by everything I saw. And it was like one day I want to own a house like this. The singer would go on to purchase this exact home at 21. Usher fulfilled his dream of owning this Georgia mansion in 1999 when he bought it for $1.2 million. By that year, Usher's platinum single You Make Me Wanna was getting a ton of play on the radio. He just landed a role on the sitcom Moisha and more. With some big developments happening in his professional life, he made a big investment on his dream home, and he'd end up living here for years.  During his ownership, Usher put his mark on the residence, making thoughtful modifications to reflect his taste and lifestyle. Also made things more modern. The foyer sets the tone for the elegant yet inviting ambiance of the hub. The living room featured a black marble fireplace and mahogany bookcases, but Usher transformed it with rustic wooden elements, herringbone patterned brick and floating shelves. The master bedroom, described by Usher as real elegant yet very warm yet very sexy, received updates such as a farmhouse-inspired Dutch door leading to the yard. The mansion underwent a vibrant makeover with a muted teal island, marble countertops, a farmhouse sink and sliding metal door, creating a stylish and functional space. Noteworthy additions to the mansion include a home dance studio equipped with floor-to-ceiling mirrors and a state-of-the-art sound system, a home theater, yoga studio, spa, and sauna. Outside the property boasts a heated pool and summer kitchen providing a perfect blend of luxury and entertainment. In 2018, after two decades of calling this place home, Usher successfully sold the Alpharetta, Georgia mansion for $1.5 million. Nearly a decade passed before Usher acquired another property in Atlanta in 2007. This time he invested $970,000 in a three-bed, three-bath residence close to Mercedes-Benz stadium. Spending just under 3,000 square feet, this modern home boasted an appealing rooftop deck and an open concept layout, flooded with natural light through oversized windows. The interiors showed a sleek dark palette featuring black painted walls complemented by light hardwood floors.  Usher sold this property at a loss at $775,000 in 2019. In 2015, the same year they wed, he invested $3.3 million in a Spanish-style home in West Hollywood, just above the iconic Sunset Strip. Originating from the 1920s, this residence encompassed 4,261 square feet across three stories featuring five beds and four full baths and two half baths. Usher's penchant for dark walls persisted in this home, seen in the double-height entryway with contemporary art against jet black walls. The home included amenities like a state-of-the-art home theater with velvet curtains, a master suite with private terrace and two-person soaking tub, as well as a family room with French doors leading to a deck overlooking the pool. Additionally, two ensuite guest bedrooms offered flexibility for conversion into fitness studios. This house became the unfortunate scene of a robbery, where Usher and Grace suffered a loss of $20,000 in cash, along with an array of valuable jewelry and watches, including one reportedly worth $220,000. During this incident, the property was listed for $4.2 million. Following their split later that year, the couple that go over the property a few months later, fetching precisely the amount they invested, $3.3 million. In summer 2022, Usher reportedly shelled $3.4 million for Kara and Poppy Delevingne's eclectic Hollywood Hills home, and it's where he still lives. The sisters bought the celebrity pedigree pad from Jared Leto in summer 2017, sharing it with architectural digest two years later. We don't know if Usher kept any of the Delevingne's design choices, but during their time in this home, the dining room boasted emerald green walls with a rattan monkey chandelier, banana leaf and palm frond wallpaper, as well as featured throughout. Usher's Hollywood home is set on a quarter acre of land and tucked away within protective walls and gates, offering seclusion. Boasting a 4,000 square foot interior, his residence unfolds over two levels and offers four beds and four baths. His home underwent renovations and prior to his purchase, it was an architectural digest in 2019. When you enter his home, a formal living room greets you with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and expansive windows. The dining room has its distinctive charm with its monkey chandelier, while the all-white kitchen shows a marble-topped center island and stainless steel appliances. An en suite guest bedroom opens to a wrap-round balcony through sliding glass doors, providing a serene retreat. The lower level of Usher's home features a master bedroom and additional room, creating a well-appointed living space. A wet bar lounge and game room seamlessly connect to the exterior where palm trees cover the grounds. Here there's a tile-line pool, spa, dining deck, built in barbecue and fire pit, while completing the properties at two car garage. After checking out Usher's impressive homes over the years, from Atlanta to Hollywood, we can see he has his own distinct taste, which was your favorite. Before we go, answer this question for me.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Nephio overview webinar. My colleague and I will walk you through what is Nephio and a demo of Nephio as well. I am Amar Kapadia. I'm co-founder at Arna Networks, Sandeep. Hello everyone. I'm Sandeep. I'm the principal architect at Arna Networks and I am also part of the Nephio TSE. All right, so let's talk about challenges at the edge. If you look at edge, edge workload, orchestration and management presents new challenges and by edge workload we mean the network service or an edge native application. And the challenges that we see are one is the scale. You could have tens of thousands of edge sites with hundreds of workloads. The second is infrastructure dependency. So interestingly with the cloud we try to decouple ourselves from the infrastructure. Now as we go back to the edge we are finding that it's not so easy to decouple. And workloads have specific requirements meaning that the infrastructure has to be orchestrated first that meets the requirements of the workload and then you can orchestrate the workload whether it be a network service or an edge native application. And the third is heterogeneity. We have very different types of edge clusters, different storage, different compute, different Kubernetes flavors, different networking providers. And when it comes to the workload there is no shortage of a variety of different network services and edge computing applications. So these are some big challenges in terms of having the edge be successful. Now what if we could use Kubernetes to solve this problem? And the answer is you actually can. What was not known to me is that Kubernetes is a control plane that can do more than container orchestration. I had always assumed that you know that's what Kubernetes was for. But actually it's a general purpose control plane and container orchestration was just the first one. And we'll talk about how Kubernetes can be used to solve the edge orchestration and management problems that I just outlined. All right, so introducing Nephew. Nephew is a new Linux foundation open source project. It is seeded by Google. It has been around for just a few months. The first developer summit happened in June of this year. It is 100% Kubernetes-based, intent-driven, orchestration and management framework for network services, edge computing applications, and the underlying infrastructure. And that in a sense addresses the challenge that I mentioned completely. It is multi-vendor, cloud and edge, infra-oriented. So you can orchestrate edge and cloud infrastructure across multiple vendors. You can orchestrate network functions and edge native applications. And finally, after you orchestrate these different things, you can handle the configuration management and ongoing lifecycle management as well. So why Nephew? There are other solutions out there that I would say the biggest reason for Nephew is the scale. When you look at tens of thousands of sites, tens of infrastructure providers, hundreds of workloads, this is a scale we have not seen before. And because of that, you need a new solution, and that's where Nephew comes in. It's suitable for multiple sites. It's intent-driven, and that again helps with scalability. And there is constant reconciliation of state. If you're just a few sites, you can manually reconcile. But at this scale, you have to have constant automated reconciliation. And day one, day two is also taken care of by the same mechanism, which lends itself to scalability. You have CICD baked in, as you will see. It goes all the way from infrastructure to workload. So on demand, distributed clouds, and it's suitable for infrastructure and workloads. And finally, it's heterogeneous. So it's meant for multi-vendor environments. It can handle public and private clouds. It can handle a variety of third-party network functions and edge native applications. What type of problems can Nephew solve? These are just three examples that are, you know, there's no limit to what type of edge applications you can use Nephew for. The first one is multi-vendor edge services brokering. Here at Telco may want to be the single point of contact for enterprises and provide them edge from different vendors as per their need. For example, if somebody says, I want an edge that is five milliseconds from such and such a location, it automatically, the Telco automatically finds the right edge, provides it, and essentially provides a brokering service. The second is multi-access edge computing. This is for just any general purpose edge computing application. And the third is for 5G network services, for example, OpenRAN. The Nephew architecture at a very, very high level is as follows. You first state your intent. Everything is declarative and intent driven. So the intent explains to Nephew what the infrastructure requirements are, what were the network function or edge native application requirements are. And on top of that, the network service or the composite application. Then based on the intent, the orchestration happens. You validate the intent and then you deploy it. And that goes into a control loop where you're constantly monitoring the application and then reconciling the state. So this makes sure that there is no configuration drift. And it's also useful for day one, day two configuration where you may change your intent and it's automatically reflected on the workload. I'm going to be very quick here. Nephew extends Kubernetes. It has three pillars, each one based on custom resource definitions, which is a way to extend Kubernetes APIs. And under a CRD you have operators. The three pillars for operators are cloud infra, where you orchestrate the cloud infrastructure itself, cloud and edge, workload resource automation, where you orchestrate network services and edge computing applications, and then workload configuration. So these are the three pillars that Nephew is addressing. And the three key principles I won't go into them are intent based automation, all based on intent. We looked at one example. You can see another example here. Declarative configuration. It's very important in Nephew to be declarative and not have any imperative information in the intent. So in fact it's called configuration as data and non-complex. So very simple Kubernetes cloud native principles are very simple and those are the ones that are being used. CI CD is automatically baked in. Sandeep will hint at this. And with that, I'm going to hand it over to my colleague, Sandeep, to walk through the demo. Sure. Okay. So in this demonstration, what we are going to show is the orchestration of the infrastructure and then the automation, which basically prepares that infrastructure for the workload deployment. Followed by that, we are going to orchestrate workload, and workload in our case is caching DNS application. So we will see how the placement intent that is specified during the workload orchestration selects the cluster which are created, clusters which are created by the infra automation that we are going to show. Followed by that, there is an example of day zero configuration of the caching DNS application. So in this specific use case, the configuration will be based on the cluster type. So the controller is basically going to look at the type of the cluster. And then based on that, it will configure the scaling profile in the application dynamically. And then it will basically deploy the curated package to the target infra. So this is a very high level diagram of the nefio platform and the three edge clusters. So what we see in the nefio platform are primarily two kind of clusters. One is the workload cluster and another is the infrastructure. One is the workload controller and another is the infrastructure controller. The infrastructure controller underneath is going to use the crossplane. And we are going to orchestrate EKS cluster. And the nefio controller node also has the config sync as a component. And config sync is basically the GitOps tool here. And config sync's job is to sync the packages from the Git repos to which it is pointing to. And Porch is the manager for the KPD packages. So basically what we have to do is we have to register the Git repositories with the Porch. And Porch automatically discovers all the packages that are present in these Git repositories. And Porch then provisions the users to basically download these packages, perform mutations and upload these packages, upload the curated packages to the target repos. In this example, there is a repo associated with every cluster. And the config syncs in these clusters are configured to sync the packages that are uploaded to their corresponding repos. And then along with that we have an infra repo. Infra repo is supposed to contain the infrastructure-related packages. So in our example, the infra repo will have the KPD package which has the crossplane KRM objects. And then there is a repo which has the nephew packages itself, which are basically the controllers that we see, the config sync and Porch. And then private catalog packages contain the raw packages, raw workload packages. So this slide basically describes all the components that are part of this demo. So this slide shows the concept of intents at a very high level. And in this demonstration, what we want to show is that the user is specifying two intents, two high level intents. And the first one is going to be the infrastructure intent followed by the another intent that is going to be the workload intent. In the infra intent, all the user basically, all the user needs to specify is the properties of the infra that he wants to create. And the example could be the zone, region, wavelength zone, for example. And the properties like if he requires GPU in the target cluster. And these high-level intents are then understood by the controllers, the infrastructure controller specifically in nephew. And it will perform the job of creating this infra based on the intent that is specified. Similarly, for the workload intent at a high level, only two pieces of information is what is required. One is the placement intent where the user can specify the region where he wants to deploy the workload, followed by the source repo. So in the previous slide, we saw the catalog repo where the raw packages are present. So user has to specify the source repo so that the controllers could download the packages from their perform mutations and upload them to the target repo via porch. Yeah, we can go to the next slide. So this slide, it basically shows the end to end demo. So as I described, the pink boxes on the leftmost of the screen. So user starts with specifying the infrastructure orchestration intent. And that is specified via a custom resource, which is called the deployment package custom resource. And then this custom resource is basically reconciled by the nephew controller. And nephew controller will download the KPT package, which has the EKS related KRMs from the private catalog repo. It will perform the mutations if any specified in the placement, specified in the infra intent. And then the nephew controller is going to upload the curated package to the to the infra deployment repo. And as we know that there is config sync present in the nephew controller cluster itself. And this config sync is basically meant to sync the infrastructure related packages from the infra deployment repo. And as the controller curates and uploads the curated package to the infra deployment repo, the config sync will automatically in the back end starts syncing that package. And as a result of it, what will happen is that the the the the AC controllers from AWS, they will come into action and they will start creating the resources, the resources, which will basically comprise our EKS cluster. So this is the part. I mean, it covers how the EKS cluster orchestration is basically automated. But that is not enough for workload orchestration. We have to prepare these clusters for workload orchestration. And we have automated that process as well. And that is the job of the nephew infra controller. So it's a POC level controller. So what it does is it watches the EKS Kubernetes resource in the nephew controller cluster. And it waits for this this resource to come into ready state. And once it comes into ready state, it deploys config sync in the target cluster. And it also configures the config sync to basically point to its corresponding edge repo. So that is the that is the minimum preparation that is required in order to prepare in order to prepare these clusters for handling the workload deployment of the workload. So this was the complete end to end path of the infrastructure automation. And then comes the workload automation workload orchestration. So workload orchestration user specifies the workload intent. And so basically two pieces of information. One is the source repo where the caching DNS raw package is available. And another is the placement intent. And then this controller will basically resolve the placement intent. And it will figure out that it has to push this package to the edge repo, which is associated with our EKS cluster. And the based on the kind of the edge repo, it will basically configure the scaling profile in the caching DNS KPD packages. And the the curated packages will be basically put on the edge repo. And as we know that our infra controller has already configured the config sync in the case cluster to pull these packages from the edge repo. So as soon as the nephew controller pushes the package to the edge repo, the config sync in the target cluster will basically sync that package. And that will result in the deployment of workload in the case cluster. Yeah, next slide please. All right, so I'm going to stop sharing and maybe Sandeep in the next five minutes or so if you can just quickly show the demo, that would be great. Sure. So let me share my screen. So is my screen visible? Yes. Okay. So this is a recorded demo. So on the left part of the screen, I'm starting the nephew controller. And on the right side of the screen, as I described, we will start with the specification of the infrastructure intent. So this is how the YAML looks, the infrastructure YAML. So all it has is the source repo from where it has to pull the EKS KPD package. And it says that the package type is infra. So based on this, the controller basically differentiates between the infra and the workload package. So as soon as this YAML is applied, the controller reconciles to it. And as part of it, as I described, it is pushing this curated package to the target repo. So we will list the packages now. So as we see, the highlighted package here is the one that is pushed by the controller. And it has the EKS KRM objects. So this package is in proposed state. And we are going to approve it manually. And the approved packages are synced by the config sync. So with this command, we are approving this package. So as soon as we approved it, in the back end, config sync would have synced this package. And that will basically start the creation of the EKS cluster. So now we are logging into AWS console. And we see that the EKS cluster has started to come up. And this EKS cluster will come up. And then the infra controller that I described will start preparing this cluster so that it will keep happening in the background. And in the meanwhile, we can go ahead and specify our workload intent as well. So this is the workload intent. And workload intent at a high level has, for this example, it has two pieces of information. One is the information related to the placement, which it says is the US central one. And another is the source repo, where the caching DNS package is present. So this is, so now what is the link between the placement intent that is specified and the EKS cluster that the infra controller has created. So infra controller creates cluster profiles. And cluster profiles are the, they basically map what is specified in the infra controller to the target cluster. So this is how the cluster profile looks. It is a, it is a Kubernetes object again with kind cluster. So yeah. And this has, this cluster profile says the scaling profile as small, small fix size. So this is what the controller will read. And then based on this, the controller will basically mutate the caching DNS package and configure the scaling profile in the package. And this, this cluster object also has the pointer to the target repo of this cluster. So based on this information, the controller will mutate the packages and push them to the target repo. And at this point, we have applied the object and this would have basically, the controller now would have pushed the package to the target repo. So similarly, yeah. So, yeah. So as was the case for the infra, infra, infra intent. So this package is in proposed state and we are going to approve it manually. So now this will stay in approved state. And in the background, the infra controller is still preparing the EKS cluster. And once the EKS cluster comes up and it is prepared, the config sync will automatically sync this package, which is in a approved state from its corresponding repo. And that will basically cause the workload deployment to happen in the target cluster as specified in the placement intent. So this process takes 10, 15 minutes bringing up of the cluster and preparation. So I would just go to the end of this video. So, yeah. So eventually the application did come up in the target cluster. And yeah. So that concludes the infrastructure orchestration followed by the workload orchestration by specifying only two intents with the help of the nephew controllers. So yeah. So that's about it with the demo. I'll stop sharing my screen. So back to you, Amir. Okay. Thanks. Thanks, Sandeep. And hopefully our viewers got a good idea of what nephew is and how powerful it is going to be when it comes to edge workload and infra orchestration and the idea of segments starting with retail, healthcare, V2X, manufacturing, logistics, telco, et cetera. So we'll end on our final slide of what's next. So please do get involved. If nephew is interesting to you, please join us. You will find all the information at nephew.org and wiki.nephew.org. You can watch developer day videos to get a much deeper idea of what nephew is. We have a resource for executives. So if there are managers, director level people, VP level people who want to understand what nephew is and how it can create value for them, then please use our white paper. And finally, at any point in time, if your organization is looking at nephew, feel free to request a one hour workshop with us and we'd be happy to walk you through nephew in more detail. With that, thank you and have a wonderful day. Thank you.


This is a very practical course. So while you believe in linear time and while you believe you have needs the Holy Spirit will meet those needs as a way of taking you in back to that point of that I am presence that is prior to the belief in needs because it's prior to the belief in lack. So the whole points to unwind from these beliefs in need and scarcity and lack and guilt and unwind to the point where you can go back far enough to come to this pristine state of I amness that is prior to time. If you come into an experience of being sustained by the love of God you're finished with the ego. You're finished with problems. You're finished with time. Only the love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every trial and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of the world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind that nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God. And as Jesus taught in the Bible before Abraham was I am, that's the whole point is coming to know thyself. That's really what all of this is about.


Electronic dance music, or EDM, is a fresh sound. It began in dance clubs and is now heard on radio stations. Anyone with a laptop computer and simple computer software can produce it. DJ Dennis Koyu composes EDM. Technology changes music. That's definitely the case. And so you can say, like, the computer, the laptop is the new guitar. The electronic beat can be heard at many leading clubs. I eat, sleep, breathe, live and love electronic music. It just makes me want to dance. I just love the feeling of the music and how it hits my body. Because EDM is so popular, people can now enjoy it in theaters. Echo Stage opened in September. It is one of the largest concert halls in Washington. Antonis Karagounis owns it. It's not a VIP nightclub. It's not a lounge. You get a table. It's pure EDM experience. That experience can be costly. Theaters like Echo Stage can charge up to $60 a person when major disc jockeys perform. Armand Van Buren is one of the world's top DJs. He has played EDM in more than 100 countries. Being there on a dance floor, seeing the lights, the visuals to show and, you know, close your eyes and just take off. He makes music videos, has his own recording company and a radio show. He says radio stations have helped to make EDM popular. It's generated a lot more interest in the style and in the music.  This year, DJ Skrillex won three Grammy Awards. Armand Van Buren says being a DJ is an art form. It's not just some guy pressing play. I mean, the crowd is the center of everything that I do. I'm not a painter just because I want to paint something in my gallery. But I'm painting for the crowd because, you know, I have my music palette and that's what I'm painting with.
