Episode Details

This week we recap all the important events at SXSW Interactive, explain why Netflix is not going to be an enterprise cloud vendor, discuss Microsoft's decision to open source Service Fabric and recommend never ordering the Bison Ribs.

Fabric Solutions

• Service Fabric is going open source.
• “There’s a bit of history to this. We've been developing Service Fabric internally for Windows for close to a decade, and most of that time it was a Microsoft-internal platform, which means we have close to a decade's worth of internal Microsoft tools to migrate and processes to refine before we can put something usable out on GitHub.”
• Netflix could pwn 2020s IT security – they need only reach out and take.
