Wyebot’s mission is to lead the Optimization of the Mobile Enterprise. The enterprise WiFi network has migrated from a convenience to business/mission critical (Manufacturing Automation, Telehealth, eLearning for Education, Point-of-Sale in Retail) while at the same time increasing in complexity due to the explosion of IoT devices, limited IT resources, remote travel challenges and rapid standards evolution. IT organizations need to deliver business continuity for these dynamic mobile ecosystems. The solution to these WiFi challenges is a market transformation from manual IT operations to automation. Wyebot is the leader in this market transformation leveraging AI-based technology to deliver an automated IT solution for business-critical WiFi environments.


What Is the Number One Public Cloud? A Field Day Roundtable

Is the number one public cloud the one with the most resources, the most customers, the most mindshare, or the best service? That’s the question put to the Field Day delegates during this Gestalt IT Roundtable discussion. Setting aside size, which probably favors Alibaba over all, Amazon Web Services is driving the conversation in enterprise IT, especially in the west. But what about Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure, let alone Oracle Cloud and IBM?


Debating the Rise of the Supercloud – A Field Day Roundtable

Enterprise IT analysts and pundits are talking about the rise of the supercloud, which would incorporate the best aspects of public, hybrid, and private cloud infrastructure and offer a flexible overlay to enable seamless workload movement. But is this concept realistic, let alone appropriately named? That’s the question for the Field Day delegates during this Gestalt IT Roundtable discussion. Would the supercloud be a superset or a subset of features, and what does it mean for the product and service landscape in enterprise cloud?

Almost every Cloud Field Day delegate is now classified as a cloud architect. But what is a cloud architect really and how does the new job differ from that of the traditional IT architect? That’s the topic of this Roundtable discussion with the Cloud Field Day delegates.


What Is the Next Big Thing After Kubernetes? A Field Day Roundtable

Kubernetes is rapidly rising in enterprise IT, replacing Docker and VMware vSphere in the mind of cloud architects. But is K8s the final answer to IT infrastructure? Not at all! In this Cloud Field Day delegate Roundtable discussion, the group considers what comes after Kubernetes, both technically and metaphorically.

In this Tech Field Day roundtable, experts discussed the future of Kubernetes and what might come next in IT infrastructure. They agreed that while Kubernetes has become a central framework for cloud architecture, it is not the final answer. The conversation highlighted the need for Kubernetes to evolve by abstracting complexities and becoming more developer-friendly, potentially through serverless solutions and better integration with AI and ML workloads. The panelists emphasized the importance of maintaining Kubernetes’ simplicity while extending its capabilities to manage heterogeneous and disaggregated compute environments. They also discussed the necessity of improving Kubernetes’ understanding of storage and networking to optimize resource allocation. The consensus was that Kubernetes should continue to serve as a foundational layer, enabling more sophisticated and automated orchestration of diverse workloads, ultimately freeing developers and operators to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management. But what does the name really mean? It’s not so simple, as the Cloud Field Day delegates debate in this Roundtable discussion. It’s also a framework for understanding modern cloud infrastructure and a shortcut to refer to an entire ecosystem of technology. What does Kubernetes mean to you?

In this Field Day Roundtable discussion, the Cloud Field Day delegates discuss Kubernetes in the enterprise. Has it “crossed the chasm” and become a mainstream component of enterprise infrastructure? Is it the new standard to describe cloud services in enterprise IT? Has it replaced Docker or even VMware vSphere?

StormForge Case Study: Optimizing K8s Autoscaling for Growth and Cost-Efficiency

Event: Cloud Field Day 15

Appearance: StormForge Presents at Cloud Field Day 15

Company: StormForge

Personnel: Yasmin Rajabi

The SaaS company in this case study had been scaling to accommodate business growth but soon found itself vastly over-provisioning Kubernetes resources and facing 40% annual growth in cloud spend, which was cutting into its margins. The firm adopted Kubernetes horizontal pod autoscaling (HPA), but found it challenging to scale workloads that were prone to bursts. With literally thousands of tuning combinations spanning numerous workloads, its optimization process required tremendous effort and cost, but still resulted in lukewarm results.

The business moved forward with a StormForge POC in an attempt to improve the efficiency of their horizontal pod autoscaling and also to introduce pod right-sizing (i.e. vertical pod autoscaling). The goal was to reduce over-provisioning costs and tuning efforts without sacrificing reliability or application performance. For its POC the firm deployed StormForge Optimize Live on a single app and realized an immediate cost savings of approximately 60%. It is now planning to use StormForge to scale efficiently across all production and non-production Kubernetes apps.

Kubernetes Autoscaling without Compromise: A Bi-Dimensional Approach from StormForge that Works

Event: Cloud Field Day 15

Appearance: StormForge Presents at Cloud Field Day 15

Company: StormForge

Video Links:

Personnel: Brian Likosar

Predictable, optimized scaling is a challenge that requires trade-offs in Kubernetes environments today. The Kubernetes autoscalers enable horizontal and vertical autoscaling, but it’s not easy for them to work together. This leads the vast majority of organizations to use Horizontal Pod Autoscaler only, with arbitrary CPU values determining the scale point. And for the VPA to work with the HPA, custom scaling metrics other than CPU and memory must be used.

This session explains how StormForge enables bi-dimensional pod autoscaling to address these limitations, enabling simultaneous use of HPA and VPA. It accomplishes this by issuing ML-based CPU and memory recommendations for VPA while setting the optimal CPU thresholds for HPA. Now organizations can autoscale more efficiently to minimize wasted resources and unnecessary cloud expense.

Rightsizing Kubernetes Apps and Optimizing Resources at Any Scale with StormForge ML

Event: Cloud Field Day 15

Appearance: StormForge Presents at Cloud Field Day 15

Company: StormForge

Video Links:

Personnel: Brian Likosar

Cloud waste and operational inefficiency are significant Kubernetes problems that span pre-production, day 2 operations and beyond. The chronic inability to rightsize application resources in complex Kubernetes environments leads to excessive – yet ineffective – manual tuning, gross over-provisioning and unpredictable performance. These outcomes steal time from engineering innovation, generate unnecessarily high cloud costs and create performance and availability risks that degrade the user experience.

This session provides an overview of the StormForge platform, which uses patent-pending machine learning to drive intelligent insights and automatically rightsize Kubernetes resources at any scale. StormForge uses rapid experimentation and scenario analysis to optimize non-production environments and leverages existing observability data to optimize production. The benefits are significantly lower administrative effort and cloud costs, and more predictable SLAs.
