Workload migration to Cloud has become integral to IT optimization and driving business forward with the increased espousal of cloud technologies. Moving to the cloud enables firms to be more agile, remove inefficiencies and provide required customer, employee experiences. Migration of on-premise enterprise workload to the public cloud has reached the situation of being considered a ‘best practice’. These workload migrations still giving challenges to the traditionally run IT organizations as everything on-premises.
It’s no longer moving to the cloud is just selecting your favorite cloud provider, and then magic will be reviled. You and your organization have to face the challenge of making the right choices:
- Which enterprise workload needs to be migrated to the cloud?
- What skills are required to run the cloud?
- How will you build a team today & in the future?
- What services will be available when businesses need them?
Some critical factors have to be kept aligned or on top of the list when deciding on the architecture. I will mention what points I keep in mind while suggesting an architecture of enterprise workload migration.
You’ll Learn: Three key areas to assist you in getting started to migrate workload to the cloud- Appoint the workload migration Architect Role
- Identification of the right workload/applications
- Correct data of the workload

AI implementation in organizations often begins with identifying specific pain points where AI can make a measurable impact. Starting small with focused projects allows companies to integrate AI tools into existing processes, ensuring smoother transitions and quicker results. This approach minimizes disruption while enabling scalability as the AI solution proves its value. A structured framework is essential for organizations starting their AI journey.

AI is dominating the tech industry, from new LLMs being released to new startups being formed to who will have the most GPUs. The multi-cloud and AI announcements dominated Oracle's flagship annual conference this week. Today's edition covers all essential products and features announced during the CloudWorld 2024 but before I start the highlights from this week's conference, let me give you some context as it reminded the keynote during the 2022 conference. The 'Internet of clouds' statement made by Oracle CTO Larry Ellison during the opening keynote at Oracle CloudWorld 2022 enables customers to choose cloud services from various vendors and to go for the best cloud service from the cloud vendors. The words that stuck in my mind were "Internet of clouds." What does it mean that, as he said, we need to build clouds like the Internet, which are interconnected and interoperable? Customers have all the choices of services, irrespective of what the vendors are; they are connected. And if I recall, a couple of years back, the discussion in which I covered in Podcast: 105 – Multi-cloud benefits, challenges, and adoption , that one of the fundamental problems we are having in the adoption of the cloud is silo clouds.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced AI tools designed to generate text-based content. In advertising, these models use data to produce compelling, creative copy that resonates with targeted audiences. This includes everything from catchy headlines to detailed product descriptions and persuasive sales pitches. How it is being done: Data Input: LLMs require input of existing data such as product information, target audience characteristics, and company branding guidelines. This data helps the model understand the context and requirements of the advertising campaign. Content Generation: The model processes the input data using its pre-trained knowledge base to generate relevant and engaging copy. The AI considers language patterns, industry terminology, and brand voice in its output. Review and Refinement: While LLMs can produce high-quality initial drafts, it's important to note that they are not perfect. The generated content often goes through a review process where marketing professionals adjust to ensure that the final copy aligns perfectly with campaign goals and audience expectations. This is because LLMs may not always capture the nuances of human language or understand the specific context of a brand or product. The benefits: Efficiency: LLMs empower marketing professionals by dramatically reducing the time required to produce creative content. What might take hours for a human can be accomplished in minutes, allowing businesses to respond quickly to market changes and opportunities. Consistency: These models help maintain a consistent voice across all marketing materials. Consistency is crucial for brand recognition and customer trust, and LLMs ensure that every piece of content aligns with the brand's established style and tone. Scalability: LLMs offer businesses the potential for exponential growth in their content production without a proportional increase in resources or costs. This is especially beneficial for campaigns targeting different demographics or requiring multilingual content, as the AI can adapt and produce varied content efficiently, instilling a sense of optimism about the potential of their campaigns. By integrating LLMs into their advertising strategies, businesses can leverage these benefits to enhance their marketing efforts, leading to better engagement and increased sales. Today we will have a guest speaker Robert Brill, Chief Executive Officer at Brill Media, who has been a dynamic part of the advertising industry since 2003. Our earlier session on the area of marketing was with Emanuel Rose, the CEO of Strategic eMarketing, Episode number 119 , and he shared with us the tips to build brand authenticity in the age of AI and actionable tips to develop your brand even if you are working in an organization Episode # 134 Today's Guest: Robert Brill, Chief Executive Officer, Brill Media Robert has been immersed in the advertising industry since 2003. He is passionate about cultivating brands and propelling businesses forward. He loves creative testing and business insights. Website: Brill Media Linkedin: Robert Brill Listeners will gain valuable knowledge from an industry expert on leveraging limited resources for maximum effect, selecting the right platforms for growth, and utilizing new technologies like generative AI to streamline and enhance advertising strategies. What Listeners Will Learn: Insights into how organizations with limited budgets can effectively engage in social marketing to maximize their impact. Guidance on which social media channels are most beneficial for startups and early-stage organizations to begin their marketing efforts. Strategies that established businesses can adopt to enhance their presence and effectiveness in social marketing.

In today's digital era, we are bombarded with overwhelming information on our screens daily. This flood of data creates a significant problem: filtering through the massive content to find what truly matters and what should be avoided. We must identify information that captures our interest, enhances our understanding, and enriches our lives rather than just being controlled by the algorithms' contents. To tackle this challenge, we must develop strategies and tools that help us efficiently access high-quality, relevant content amidst the constant buzz. It requires a discerning eye to differentiate valuable content from the trivial, ensuring that what we consume contributes positively to our knowledge, well-being, and satisfaction. It is quite a challenging task, and even before making it into a task, there needs to be awareness that, yes, this is the challenge that we as humans are getting content from the algorithms to support the interest of these platforms. In addition, promoting digital literacy plays a crucial role in this context. Educating internet users on effectively searching for, evaluating, and engaging with digital content can empower them to make informed decisions about what they read, watch, and listen to online. This knowledge is invaluable in an age where the quality of information can significantly impact our perceptions, decisions, and actions. Ultimately, our goal is to transform the challenge of information overload into an opportunity for growth, learning, and enrichment. By leveraging advanced technologies, fostering critical skills, and promoting high standards of content quality, we can create a digital environment where abundant information becomes an asset rather than a hindrance.

The rise of low-code and no-code development platforms is reshaping how we think about building applications. These platforms are marketed for their ease of use, emphasizing that even those without coding expertise can quickly create applications. This approach to app development is increasingly popular because it democratizes the process, making it accessible to a broader audience. One key advantage of low-code platforms is their ability to empower people with little to no programming knowledge. They can now bring new projects to life or develop fresh ideas independently. Traditionally, creating an application involved relaying ideas to a programmer or coder, who would then try to translate these concepts into a functional product. This process could be time-consuming and often result in a product that might not fully align with the original vision. However, with low-code and no-code platforms, this dynamic has changed. Individuals can now take control of the development process, building and adjusting their applications as they see fit. This hands-on approach allows for a more accurate realization of one's vision and fosters innovation by removing technical barriers. The simplicity of these platforms lies in their user-friendly interfaces, which often involve drag-and-drop functionalities and easy-to-navigate design elements. This means that making an app doesn't require writing lines of code. Instead, it's about visually constructing the application, piece by piece, like building a model using a kit. As these platforms evolve, they're becoming even more intuitive, making app development not just accessible but also an enjoyable experience. This shift is significant in an increasingly digital world, where the ability to quickly develop and deploy applications can be a game-changer for businesses and individuals alike. In summary, low-code and no-code platforms are not just a trend; they represent a fundamental shift in the digital landscape. They're opening doors for creative minds to develop their digital solutions without the bottleneck of needing advanced coding skills, thereby accelerating innovation and personal empowerment in the digital realm. Welcome to today's podcast! I am thrilled to have a special guest, Dan Hafner, an expert in app development without traditional coding. Dan started with no coding skills but established a successful app development business. He specializes in helping coaches, content creators, and entrepreneurs transform their ideas into practical, stylish, and scalable apps. Dan Hafner's journey from a novice to a guru in the no-code app development space is truly inspiring, and his insights are invaluable for anyone looking to enter this rapidly evolving field.

In today's digital age, every swipe, click, and search is monitored, analyzed, and even predicted by Artificial Intelligence (AI), although we are all going through the Generative AI era; in other words, the ChatGPT era. However, AI has been here for a long time, and one example is being used at the core for marketing products, including in social media channels. As the algorithms get more innovative, the digital footprints we leave are no longer mere footprints; they are profound insights into our psyche, preferences, and behaviors. All these footprints are being used and exploited to push us the products through ads that even we don't need to buy or don't have requirements at all. Authenticity in marketing is becoming more crucial and at the heart of marketing tactics instead of just pushing the products through AI. A few months ago, I received an email advertisement for a product I casually mentioned in a conversation. It wasn't a typed search or a clicked ad - it was just a conversation. Intrigued, I bought the product. But the more I thought about it and conversed with my wife, the more I realized that, although AI had successfully identified a potential need, it didn't understand me. There was a connection, but it lacked depth and authenticity. Our interactions with AI-driven marketing can sometimes be conversations with someone who pretends to listen, only catching keywords and responding with automated efficiency. And while efficiency is commendable, genuine connections are formed through authenticity. This is where authentic marketing steps in. It's not about tricking the consumer or just meeting a sales quota; it's about resonating with them on a deeper, more meaningful level. It is everywhere and in every field, from selling software to selling a property to an online e-commerce store selling cosmetics. Today's guest speaker, the CEO of Strategic eMarketing, will share tips to build brand authenticity in the age of AI and actionable tips to develop your brand even if you are working in an organization.

In today's rapidly evolving corporate landscape, continual learning and upskilling have become crucial for career advancement. Various educational options are available to professionals, each offering unique benefits, from corporate organizations to opting for MOOCs or having formal degree programs. The debate between colleagues and friends often refers to two main paths: a formal degree versus hands-on experience. In this Podcast, I will cover higher degrees during a professional career and how I decided to go for it. Finally, after a break of six months due to my university dissertation, I am back to writing blogs and podcasts. What is happening in the corporate world concerning degree programs while working? Why is upskilling essential? What are the options available? Or how usually it is being considered. Choosing Your Path: The decision to pursue higher education can be complex, with common considerations such as MBA programs versus technical degrees. This dilemma often feels like a roller coaster ride, requiring much thought and time, and the same thing I was going through while contemplating this. My journey toward earning an MSc in AI started in late 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. While working on several emerging technologies initiatives with many customers, I explored online courses on platforms like edx.org, coursera.org, and LinkedIn learning. While these courses provided valuable information, I wanted to get deeper into the basics and build upon them. It depends on your personality and, historically, how you take up any new topic or subject to develop your knowledge of it. After numerous discussions with friends, colleagues, and former managers, it became clear that my aspirations needed to align with what I was targeting or aiming for. I had to spend considerable time deciding whether to pursue an MBA or a tech-focused degree. I concluded that I envisioned a two-step progression: first, to follow the latest technical degree, which equips me with the latest tech, and then to supplement it with management courses. The Decision to Pursue AI: Given my involvement in numerous emerging tech projects, my interest naturally gravitated toward data science and AI degree programs. The question then became, where to enroll? Back in 2020, there were fewer options than there are today. After extensive research, I decided not to go to US universities due to time zone differences and targeted UK universities. While the selection of universities was essential, and the considerations included the fee structure, overall university ranking, job placement record, course structure, and location. The Online Learning Experience: The pandemic has exponentially increased the demand for online courses and degrees. As an online student of an AI MSc program, I've been introduced to a new learning methodology that differs from traditional face-to-face instruction. The primary challenge of online learning is maintaining self-discipline. With it, staying on track with the courses and completing them is challenging. Furthermore, studying in-depth and grasping the material beyond just checking off completion boxes is essential and needs to be paramount in the study approach. Balancing Professional and Personal Life: It's complicated, and the journey of juggling a professional career, pursuing a higher degree, and maintaining a personal life was no less than walking a tightrope. The constant switch between work, studies, and family responsibilities was often overwhelming, and there were countless moments when I felt like dropping out of the university program. Despite the challenges, what kept me going was the unwavering support of my wife. Despite the up and downs, She often reminded me of why I started this journey in the first place and now need to keep an eye on it rather than focusing on something else. In this ride, I've learned that pursuing a higher degree while working full-time and managing family responsibilities is incredibly challenging. However, with the right support system and a clear vision of the end goal, it is indeed possible. And learning, growth, and career advancement reward the trip worthwhile. You'll Learn the following: The journey to pursuing a higher degree while working: Why go for the formal university route Why upskilling is important How did I start it, and what were the considerations that can help you decide for yourself?

The journey started from the cloud to arriving on the multi-cloud. Nowadays, every IT department in an organization is heading towards the multi-cloud era. Let’s first get our heads clear, What is multi-cloud? What is a hybrid cloud? As we are hearing, these two terms are sometimes interchangeable. So multi-cloud is where an organization uses the cloud services from two or more cloud providers, such as the Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. A hybrid cloud is where the organization uses on-premises services, or “private cloud,” and a few from any of the cloud providers – public clouds, such as the Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Distributed cloud: organizations want to have their own decision and choice for the cloud resources that they want to have. It could be multiple public clouds, or even an Oracle cloud@customer, an AWS outpost, etc. The point is that services will be like a public cloud and managed, and governed by the public cloud vendor. Now the first question that comes to mind is, why multi-cloud? A few areas to think of… Vendor lock-in (in other words -multiple cloud vendors lock in) Data center availability – this is also linked to the compliance requirement that you need to have an in-country data center Utilize the best services from the cloud vendor, who specializes in certain services. Low latency requirements for certain applications and that vendor doesn’t have a data center in that region. Price optimization By accident, they opted for multi-cloud (within organizations, the different departments opted for different cloud vendors). Resilience (I need to have a backup site with other cloud providers) The multi-cloud strategy brings several benefits to organizations, however, implementing a multi-cloud also brings challenges, few to mention: Compatibility Increased complexity Security Interconnection between different cloud providers The learning curve for the IT teams (to learn about different cloud providers) Cost estimation and reporting.

Every day, we are reading reports on cyberattacks and massive data breaches worldwide, resulting in substantial financial losses, disruption, and downtime. The most important thing to notice is that every day cybercriminals adopt new attacks to avoid traditional security measures and bring new approaches to achieve the target. There is a concept of having layered security, with this approach of layered security enables you to have a system for an Internet security strategy that ensures an attacker who tries to penetrate one layer of defence will be stopped by a subsequent layer. Let's get first the definition clear about layered security. What is Layered Security? According to, Techopedia , the layered security is: “Layered security refers to security systems that use multiple components to protect operations on multiple levels or layers. This term can also be related to the term defence-in-depth, which is based on a slightly different idea where multiple strategies and resources are used to slow, blog, delay, or hinder a threat until it can be completely neutralized” National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Guidance, NIST has defined a layered security model that has 17 control families This session was recorded back in October 2021, and it is now being published.

An overview of Oracle's different Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, and data science solutions available on Oracle Cloud. If you are new to this website, it is a learning and sharing platform where we will learn publicly. Before I cover today's show schedule, let me admit that procrastination is sometimes very dangerous, as I could not record/host the podcast for the last 4 months. It wasn't easy to have a work-life balance due to the two factors. First, as I am doing MSc in AI and the previous 4-5 months were crucial to complete the key subjects, now I am on the last topic of robotics, which will be completed very soon. And 2nd factor was that I was dedicating a lot of my time to office work, where I worked with several EMEA-based customers and helped them migrate on-premise workloads to the Oracle cloud. On the procrastination, James clear’s book ‘Atomic habit’ and specifically the article “ Procrastination: A Scientific Guide on How to Stop Procrastinating ” has helped me to come out of the phase and be back with the podcast 😊 Let's dive into today’s topic. Oracle has solutions that broadly cover three areas from the product's point of view. We will also talk about some of the use cases along with these products. 1-Artificial intelligence services, 2- Machine learning services and 3- AI apps for SaaS services 1-Artificial intelligence services deliver pre-trained models that can also be custom trained to improve model quality and enable organizations to use the AI services. 2-Machine learning services enable organizations to build, manage and deploy machine learning models with the different open source frameworks or they can use in-database machine learning capabilities. 3-AI apps for SaaS services provide organizations with capabilities in pre-integrated and fully functional AI functionalities in the Software as a Services (SaaS) model. These services are primarily part of the Oracle Cloud Applications. It uses deep semantic parsing with natural language processing (NLP), natural language understanding (NLU), and custom algorithms to understand common conversations to derive real intent and context. In addition, users can communicate with the business application using voice commands capabilities available in the digital assistant offered by Oracle’s Voice, it is not relying on any third party offerings.

1 99- Cloud Adoption Framework 28:51
Cloud Adoption Framework is a set of best practices, tools, and guides that most public cloud vendors publish. The idea behind these cloud adoption frameworks is to assist organizations to embrace public cloud securely, efficiently and faster. The cloud adoption framework comprises each phase of cloud acceptance, from planning to living in the cloud. It provides a very well-tested checklist and steps to choose the right path for cloud migration and the right tools to help reduce potential security, governance, and budget problems. The good thing about the cloud adoption framework is that it covers technological, people, processes and business aspects. Therefore, it helps to align business strategies with the culture, business and technology inspirations to achieve the business benefits. Cloud growth The cloud adoption framework is your guide to making the most of your cloud investment. Most organizations are adopting the cloud as per the IDG’s 2020 Cloud Computing study reveals that 92% of the organizations are somewhat in the cloud. Organizations must adapt to the cloud with proper planning and strategy in place. However, I observe that even if they have the strategy, they have just started consuming the cloud with the migration of simple applications and don’t have any proper framework or rules to follow. Another challenge I am seeing is that organizations don’t have clear visibility to their digital estate. When you start planning about cloud migration or adoption, the first question that comes to mind is to discover or assess the current IT state, which sometimes becomes painful to complete. Sometimes, what is being observed is that relevant stakeholders don’t know where to start and the requirements or initial checklist they need to follow to migrate to the cloud. According to Gartner , if we map to the trends impacting cloud adoption, there are four critical areas. Cost optimization will drive cloud adoption Multicloud will reduce vendor lock-in Insufficient cloud IaaS skills will delay migrations Distributed cloud will support expanded service availability There is no doubt that each organization is unique with the operating model, products, services, organizational infrastructure and technology. Now adopting the cloud also depends on the business functions, services and applications are used in the organization; it will be unique to every organization. However, as we are seeing, most organizations are moving to the cloud, so we can say there is a pattern emerging. These frameworks are the results of these patterns concluded from a large number of cloud migrations journeys. Take an example of the work done by the Open Data Center Alliance Cloud Adoption Framework Another paper was presented during the 2017 international conference on information systems and computer science with the name “Unified Cloud Computing Adoption Framework.” which describes the process in six steps framework, current situation definition, requirements definition, providers analysis, providers assessment, decision, and migration. Another interesting and the most I like Enterprise Cloud Adoption Framework developed and shared by the MITRE and targeted areas to address are Political leadership, Organizational, Economic, Technical and Security (POETS) factors. You’ll Learn: Different Cloud Adoption Frameworks: What is ECAF? What are the common Cloud Adoption frameworks? Why frameworks are important for the journey to the cloud?
