SHOW SPONSOR:

• Panoptica, Cisco’s Cloud Application Security solution

SHOW NOTES:

• MacStadium (homepage)
• Mac Virtualization, using Orka 3.0

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Before we dive into all things MacStadium, give us a little bit of your background, as well as some of your focus areas as CTO of MacStadium

Topic 2 - Everybody I know has an iPhone, and so many people use a Mac (or iPad) as their daily computing device. Help us understand the breadth of companies that use Macs for the backend of their application environments? 

Topic 3 - We spend a lot of time focusing on DevOps and the things people do to run cloud environments. Honestly, it’s a mess of all sorts of tools. Apple has always made the complex seem simple. What does Mac-centric DevOps look like? 

Topic 4 - We know (mostly) where cloud-provider responsibilities stop and customer-responsibilities start in places like AWS. Does that change much in MacStadium?

Topic 5 - You are/were the creator of Orka, virtualization for Macs. Walk us through the basics of how that works, and it seems like it would be extremely powerful when looking at CI pipelines.

Topic 6 - What are some of the best ways that companies take advantage of MacStadium?
