Our first distinguished guest is Mike Kavis [@madgreek65], Managing Director in the Technology/Cloud practice at Deloitte. Mike has served in numerous technical roles such as CTO, Chief Architect, and VP positions with over 30 years of experience in software development and architecture. A pioneer in cloud computing, Mike led a team that built the world's first high speed transaction network in Amazon's public cloud and won the 2010 AWS Global Startup Challenge. Mike is the author of "Architecting the Cloud: Design Decisions for Cloud Computing Service Models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)".

Topics covered:

• We go way back together to being pundits in the early WS* and SOA days with Agile as a discipline, then early cloud and API-driven integration, with DevOps as a practice. Why do these megatrends become passe over time?
• As  the cloud-native vendor landscape evolves, what are the biggest changes and challenges faced by companies delivering applications in the last 2-3 years?
• How do companies know how mature their organizations are on their cloud journey?
• Optional – have an interesting customer challenge or transformation, or turnaround story?
• Is Kubernetes really going to be the third wave of distributed computing, or will it likely be defined as something else?
• Why is it so much easier to manage technology, than manage people?
