Forget AI

With the new hype in Artificial Intelligence, it has triggered both excitement and anxiety particularly with regards to employment. The truth is out with numbers as it is predicted to replace 300 million jobs globally in the coming years. This prediction has led to many to think whether Machines where actually built to overcome the repetitive, mechanical tasks or replace the jobs of skilled workers too specially in the field of finance, healthcare, customer service and the list goes on. In the coming years there might be a significant shift in the workplace landscape under these sectors which will lead to losing the human face value’s over machines.

Time has come to rethink about the economical impact with the lack of humans at workplaces. Other than boosting work productivity one must think what good does machines do to our economy. Does it help any financial institutions or any other governmental institutions which has been built by it’s people for generating income source. We are living in a people driven economy by having them work and have jobs. By doing that the economy runs with children being able to go school, people having to pay their bills, people able to buy or sell assets, people able to travel the world , drive their favorite cars and being able to live a life of their dreams. A machine must be here only to support you in whatever you are continuing to do at work while you still exist to rock the floor.

IT Was Made By Me

Searching for the truth is the ultimatum for all systems around the globe. Data doesn’t lie is the first truth that people have been resonating in their minds for years and staying away from believing in humanity is the end result or the end agenda. Over dependency on systems and data in finding the truth could lead to people loosing faith upon each other and that could only ultimately lead to humans making more and more sophisticated systems to compete for the truth and to lookup rather than asking your best friend or loved ones. Data is the truth that doesn’t change is what everyone has learned in many years to believe but at the same time it’s possible to change data or be manipulated not by common man but by it’s owners who created them is the other side of the grass reality.

When you have become the owners of such gigantic information systems and you finally become to know them so well, those systems could become the mother of all information regardless of what you feed on them whether it may be for the good or the bad. When those systems become centralized or intelligent enough, they becomes the single point of truth for the entire humanity. People who maybe new for you or your system may end up first searching the mother of all information system in knowing the truth without knowing the fact that IT Was Made By Me.

Make Your Virtual Private Cloud

One of the biggest digital transformation today in the network space is the introduction of Virtual Private Cloud’s. This is also called as the Infrastructure As a Service (IAAS) on cloud where your physical network devices like Switches, Routers, Firewalls, Gateways and VPN devices are today a logical device which are configured on cloud to give you that basic network infrastructure to setup your IT systems. Once you are able to setup the network infrastructure then comes the need to develop other applications or services to support your work or business functions.

There are two types of VPC on cloud :

Public VPC :

This is the type of VPC where the Cloud service provider deploys for you the basic network infrastructure needed on cloud using those logical devices like Switches, Routers, Firewalls and Gateways, configuring an automatic subnet along with the automatic routing policies in-order for you to start utilizing cloud services with the help of IP address assigned to you automatically from the provider. Here you do not have the option to design your own private network apart from using what is offered from cloud provider.

Private VPC :

This is a type of VPC where you will manually have to create your own network IP address subnets, routing policies and internet gateways which will enable you to connect to other services on cloud. This is otherwise known as a private cloud where the networking components using the subnets, routers, gateways and routing policies must be configured manually before starting to use any of the cloud services. Private VPC is considered a totally private network on cloud where you decide to construct your own private infrastructure secured to be accessed only internally and isolated from public cloud.

Optimize Cloud

Using cloud technology the right way helps individuals and organizations improve their performance and reduce the initial cost for startups or enterprise. There are many cloud service providers today but choosing what is apt for your business is the best foot forward in the way of optimization. Some of the few tips to optimizing cloud.

1.Size does matter when choosing the apt cloud services depending upon your use-case. While you are a startup and do not have much of a data available, getting on to cloud services will make your transition smooth without much of hurdles. Whereas for companies with legacy data, migration of data to cloud needs to be planned and orchestrated.

2.Automating process helps to reduce many manual tasks and improving on efficiency also increase consistency. Doing such things helps to save time and reduce errors. While your services are on cloud, it helps you to identify issues in a centralized manner which helps you to take the right decisions in optimizing performance and reducing cost.

3.Going serverless is another great leap to optimization where you will be able to manage your scalability and high availability during any disaster planning.

4.Many security related hurdles when it comes to data protection, data encryption and access restriction becomes readily deployable while on cloud.
