"Don't spy on a privacy lab" (and other career advice for university provosts)

This is a wild and hopeful story: grad students at Northeastern successfully pushed back against invasive digital surveillance in their workplace, through solidarity, fearlessness, and the bright light of publicity. It’s a tale of hand-to-hand, victorious combat with the “shitty technology adoption curve.”

What’s the “shitty tech adoption curve?” It’s the process by which oppressive technologies are normalized and spread. If you want to do something awful with tech — say, spy on people with a camera 24/7 — you need to start with the people who have the least social capital, the people whose objections are easily silenced or overridden.

That’s why all our worst technologies are first imposed on refugees -> prisoners -> kids -> mental patients -> poor people, etc. Then, these technologies climb the privilege gradient: blue collar workers -> white collar workers -> everyone. Following this pathway lets shitty tech peddlers knock the rough edges off their wares, inuring us all to their shock and offense.

https://pluralistic.net/2022/08/21/great-taylors-ghost/#solidarity-or-bust

20 years ago, if you ate dinner under the unblinking eye of a CCTV, it was because you were housed in a supermax prison. Today, it’s because you were unwise enough to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for “home automation” from Google, Apple, Amazon or another “luxury surveillance” vendor.

Northeastern’s Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex (ISEC) is home to the “Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute,” where grad students study the harms of surveillance and the means by which they may be reversed. If there’s one group of people who are prepared to stand athwart the shitty tech adoption curve, it is the CPI grad students.

Which makes it genuinely baffling that Northeastern’s Senior Vice Provost for Research decided to install under-desk heat sensors throughout ISEC, overnight, without notice or consultation. The provost signed the paperwork that brought the privacy institute into being.

Students throughout ISEC were alarmed by this move, but especially students on the sixth floor, home to the Privacy Institute. When they demanded an explanation, they were told that the university was conducting a study on “desk usage.” This rang hollow: students at the Privacy Institute have assigned desks, and they badge into each room when they enter it.

As Privacy Institute PhD candidate Max von Hippel wrote, “Reader, we have assigned desks, and we use a key-card to get into the room, so, they already know how and when we use our desks.”

https://twitter.com/maxvonhippel/status/1578048837746204672

So why was the university suddenly so interested in gathering fine-grained data on desk usage? I asked von Hippel and he told me: “They are proposing that grad students share desks, taking turns with a scheduling web-app, so administrators can take over some of the space currently used by grad students. Because as you know, research always works best when you have to schedule your thinking time.”

That’s von Hippel’s theory, and I’m going to go with it, because the provost didn’t offer a better one in the flurry of memos and “listening sessions” that took place after the ISEC students arrived at work one morning to discover sensors under their desks.

This is documented in often hilarious detail in von Hippel’s thread on the scandal, in which the university administrators commit a series of unforced errors and the grad students run circles around them, in a comedy of errors straight out of “Animal House.”

https://twitter.com/maxvonhippel/status/1578048652215431168

After the sensors were discovered, the students wrote to the administrators demanding their removal, on the grounds that there was no scientific purpose for them, that they intimidated students, that they were unnecessary, and that the university had failed to follow its own rules and ask the Institutional Review Board (IRB) to review the move as a human-subjects experiment.

The letter was delivered to the provost, who offered “an impromptu listening session” in which he alienated students by saying that if they trusted the university to “give” them a degree, they should trust it to surveil them. The students bristled at this characterization, noting that students deliver research (and grant money) to “make it tick.”

[Image ID: Sensors arrayed around a kitchen table at ISEC]

The students, believing the provost was not taking them seriously, unilaterally removed all the sensors, and stuck them to their kitchen table, annotating and decorating them with Sharpie. This prompted a second, scheduled “listening session” with the provost, but this session, while open to all students, was only announced to their professors (“Beware of the leopard”).

The students got wind of this, printed up fliers and made sure everyone knew about it. The meeting was packed. The provost explained to students that he didn’t need IRB approval for his sensors because they weren’t “monitoring people.” A student countered, what was being monitored, “if not people?” The provost replied that he was monitoring “heat sources.”

https://github.com/maxvonhippel/isec-sensors-scandal/blob/main/Oct_6_2022_Luzzi_town_hall.pdf

Remember, these are grad students. They asked the obvious question: which heat sources are under desks, if not humans (von Hippel: “rats or kangaroos?”). The provost fumbled for a while (“a service animal or something”) before admitting, “I guess, yeah, it’s a human.”

Having yielded the point, the provost pivoted, insisting that there was no privacy interest in the data, because “no individual data goes back to the server.” But these aren’t just grad students — they’re grad students who specialize in digital privacy. Few people on earth are better equipped to understand re-identification and de-aggregation attacks.

[Image ID: A window with a phrase written in marker, ‘We are not doing science here’ -Luzzi.]

A student told the provost, “This doesn’t matter. You are monitoring us, and collecting data for science.” The provost shot back, “we are not doing science here.” This ill-considered remark turned into an on-campus meme. I’m sure it was just blurted in the heat of the moment, but wow, was that the wrong thing to tell a bunch of angry scientists.

From the transcript, it’s clear that this is where the provost lost the crowd. He accused the students of “feeling emotion” and explaining that the data would be used for “different kinds of research. We want to see how students move around the lab.”

Now, as it happens, ISEC has an IoT lab where they take these kinds of measurements. When they do those experiments, students are required to go through IRB, get informed consent, all the stuff that the provost had bypassed. When this is pointed out, the provost says that they had been given an IRB waiver by the university’s Human Research Protection Program (HRPP).

Now a prof gets in on the action, asking, pointedly: “Is the only reason it doesn’t fall under IRB is that the data will not be published?” A student followed up by asking how the university could justify blowing $50,000 on surveillance gear when that money would have paid for a whole grad student stipend with money left over.

The provost’s answers veer into the surreal here. He points out that if he had to hire someone to monitor the students’ use of their desks, it would cost more than $50k, implying that the bill for the sensors represents a cost-savings. A student replies with the obvious rejoinder — just don’t monitor desk usage, then.

Finally, the provost started to hint at the underlying rationale for the sensors, discussing the cost of the facility to the university and dangling the possibility of improving utilization of “research assets.” A student replies, “If you want to understand how research is done, don’t piss off everyone in this building.”

Now that they have at least a vague explanation for what research question the provost is trying to answer, the students tear into his study design, explaining why he won’t learn what he’s hoping to learn. It’s really quite a good experimental design critique — these are good students! Within a few volleys, they’re pointing out how these sensors could be used to stalk researchers and put them in physical danger.

The provost turns the session over to an outside expert via a buggy Zoom connection that didn’t work. Finally, a student asks whether it’s possible that this meeting could lead to them having a desk without a sensor under it. The provost points out that their desk currently doesn’t have a sensor (remember, the students ripped them out). The student says, “I assume you’ll put one back.”

[Image ID: A ‘public art piece’ in the ISEC lobby — a table covered in sensors spelling out ‘NO!,’ surrounded by Sharpie annotations decrying the program.]

They run out of time and the meeting breaks up. Following this, the students arrange the sensors into a “public art piece” in the lobby — a table covered in sensors spelling out “NO!,” surrounded by Sharpie annotations decrying the program.

Meanwhile, students are still furious. It’s not just that the sensors are invasive, nor that they are scientifically incoherent, nor that they cost more than a year’s salary — they also emit lots of RF noise that interferes with the students’ own research. The discussion spills onto Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NEU/comments/xx7d7p/northeastern_graduate_students_privacy_is_being/

Yesterday, the provost capitulated, circulating a memo saying they would pull “all the desk occupancy sensors from the building,” due to “concerns voiced by a population of graduate students.”

https://twitter.com/maxvonhippel/status/1578101964960776192

The shitty technology adoption curve is relentless, but you can’t skip a step! Jumping straight to grad students (in a privacy lab) without first normalizing them by sticking them on the desks of poor kids in underfunded schools (perhaps after first laying off a computer science teacher to free up the budget!) was a huge tactical error.

A more tactically sound version of this is currently unfolding at CMU Computer Science, where grad students have found their offices bugged with sensors that detect movement and collect sound:

https://twitter.com/davidthewid/status/1387909329710366721

The CMU administration has wisely blamed the presence of these devices on the need to discipline low-waged cleaning staff by checking whether they’re really vacuuming the offices.

https://twitter.com/davidthewid/status/1387426812972646403

While it’s easier to put cleaners under digital surveillance than computer scientists, trying to do both at once is definitely a boss-level challenge. You might run into a scholar like David Gray Widder, who, observing that “this seems like algorithmic management of lowly paid employees to me,” unplugged the sensor in his office.

https://twitter.com/davidthewid/status/1387909329710366721

This is the kind of full-stack Luddism this present moment needs. These researchers aren’t opposed to sensors — they’re challenging the social relations of sensors, who gets sensed and who does the sensing.

https://locusmag.com/2022/01/cory-doctorow-science-fiction-is-a-luddite-literature/

[Image ID: A flier inviting ISEC grad students to attend an unadvertised 'listening session' with the vice-provost. It is surmounted with a sensor that has been removed from beneath a desk and annotated in Sharpie to read: 'If found by David Luzzi suck it.']

Checklist for a Successful AWS Cloud Migration

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a highly secure cloud services platform. The AWS cloud is the safest way to save data, run applications, and provision a wide variety of cloud computing resources. The process of migrating your current computing system into the AWS Cloud is known as migration. This may include moving your current company data center to the AWS cloud, re-engineering your applications with AWS, or even simply moving some of the organization’s systems to the cloud while leaving others in the current environment.

Businesses are migrating to Amazon Web Services (AWS) in greater numbers than ever before, lured by the cloud provider’s key features and benefits, including lower operational costs, scalability, agility, high availability, and disaster recovery.

Why Do Businesses Migrate to AWS?

When compared to on-premise deployments and other clouds, Amazon Web Services is the top cloud provider and offers several benefits. Here are some of the reasons why organizations are migrating to AWS:

Cost ━ AWS is known for its pay-per-use pricing, but it also offers a wide range of services that allow you to use only the resources you require, lowering expenses. For example, you can execute storage tiering and can save cold data to a low-cost storage service like Amazon Glacier.

Scalability ━ AWS delivers limitless scalability as well as a variety of ways to manage it, from EC2 auto-scaling to containerized deployments, serverless services, and more.

Agility ━ AWS provides diverse automation capabilities, integrates with DevOps workflows, and allows teams to instantly spin up development, test, and production environments to iterate quickly. Amazon also makes self-service IT simple by allowing organizational units to set up their infrastructure.

High availability and disaster recovery ━ Amazon has many data centers across the world, as well as a multi-AZ feature that allows you to host cloud services in various data centers, ensuring that your services continue to run even if one geographical region is affected by a disaster.

Cloud Migration Checklist in AWS

Understanding the process:

Migration must be handled by an expert in AWS, who has ample experience in migrating so that there is no major disruption in the operational flow of business. This AWS cloud migration checklist is the basic protocol that needs to be followed by organizations, which are aiming for migrating their application to cloud environments.

Identify resources and responsibilities

The pre-planning stage begins with identifying your budget, scope, and schedule. Some of the things you should outline during this phase include:

1. Key resources for migration work streams

2. People and departments responsible for each resource

3. Size of transferable modules (databases, data centers, applications)

4. Migration phases (steps)

5. Timeline for each step of the migration

6. Risk and mitigation logs (including data backup tools)

Find an experienced cloud partner

A skilled AWS partner can help you through the migration process, making it faster, smoother, and, ultimately, less expensive.

Remember that you’ll be providing this organization with your business data, so your decision should be deliberate and informed. Here are a few things to look for in a migration vendor:

1. Data safety. Professional firms can ensure the confidentiality of your data. An NDA (non-disclosure agreement) is, of course, required.

2. Experience. If you wish to avoid the common AWS cloud migration challenges, be sure your provider has appropriate experience.

3. Pricing. The migration procedure may be costly, but the experienced vendor can reduce your expenses with a practical framework.

4. Certification. When you’re dealing with AWS Consulting Partners, you can be sure they’re experts with deep technical knowledge.

You can also choose to migrate databases, applications, storage, and servers on your own. But your success rate will increase exponentially if you decide to work with a professional cloud computing service provider.

The following steps should be followed while migrating to AWS

Step 1: Migration preparation and business planning:

This is the initial phase in migrating to the cloud, and it involves taking into account the present state of application architecture while designing a project migration activity. To make the process go smoothly and maintain uninterrupted operational efficiency, all elements of the stakeholders engaged in the business and how they will be affected should be examined.

A rollback strategy should always be included in a migration plan since, due to unforeseen circumstances, the entire program or a portion of it may fail to migrate to the cloud, and in such scenarios, it should be rolled back to its original environment setup.

Step 2: Analysis of current solution and planning:

The analysis phase entails identifying and understanding the dependencies of the applications and focuses on defining priorities for migrating to the cloud. Less complex and critical applications should preferably be moved first, followed by the more critical ones.

Step 3 & 4: Designing, migrating, and validating applications:

After the migration is done, the next and final step includes addressing individual components of an application. There are six ‘R’s’ that act as references for migrations. The six ‘R’s’ are briefly defined as follows:

Re-host — This strategy is the most cost-effective way to migrate non-cloud services to the AWS cloud. Rehosting is a highly automated process that allows both quick migration and several big migrations.

Re-platform — This strategy works well when an application’s architecture needs to be changed to achieve cloud optimization. Cloud optimization aims to achieve certain objectives, such as minimizing database administration time or migrating to a fully managed cloud.

Re-purchase — This process is an approach for moving from a proprietary system to a SaaS platform. Organizations that have workloads that are simple to migrate to new versions ensure a smoother transition with this method.

Re-architect — This step is meant for applications that are native to the cloud for incorporating features such as autoscaling to ensure excellent performance. This entails redesigning the application to make use of cloud-native services and architecture.

Retire — To make the cloud more effective for an application’s operations, it’s crucial to figure out which assets should be removed if they’re no longer required, and which ones will take more time and effort.

Retain — In a few circumstances, organizations may choose to retain some part of their applications on their servers and move the other part to the cloud. This leads to a hybrid approach, which becomes a scenario of continuous reevaluation.

Migrating to the Amazon Web Services cloud may benefit a company in a variety of ways. AWS is a very cost-effective approach since it allows for resource auto-scaling, which means you only pay for the services you utilize. Transformation to cloud architecture is also a step toward increasing team productivity by offering a consolidated picture of work in progress. It also provides agility to any firm by allowing them to sell their goods much more quickly, giving them a competitive edge.

It is recommended that an organization must plan on KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), which might be helpful to measure and validate the migration success rate.

VMware workloads to AWS: Optimize, migrate and modernize

Optimization, migration, and modernization of VMware workloads to AWS.

Based on strategy and results, IBM clients’ transformation journeys are unique. Businesses must ensure that its infrastructure supports strategic goals like cost optimization, performance improvement, and cloud adoption as technology and business needs change.

After Broadcom acquired VMware, VMware clients confront transformational decisions in a shifting marketplace. IBM Consulting understands. IBM Consulting can assist VMware clients succeed through a variety of hybrid cloud transformation pathways using its expertise. These include on-premises modernization, cloud modernization, containerization with cloud-native technologies, or a mix.

VMware Modernization Assessment is a Rapid Strategy and Assessment that explores VMware’s future paths to achieve business success and manage risk.

IBM Cloud For VMWare Regulated Workloads

IBM will discuss how IBM Consulting can help organizations who prefer AWS-based cloud-native solutions using AWS’s modern tools and cloud services in this blog.

AWS offers VMware a complete platform with cloud services, global infrastructure, and strong security. This method avoids hardware dependence, scalability issues, and high operational costs of on-premises infrastructure. Organizations can use AWS’s scalability, pay-as-you-go pricing, and wide range of services to construct VMware workloads to AWS.

Clients considering data centre (DC) exits want to cut costs and simplify operations while improving security, compliance, and innovation.

Data centre consolidation can be accelerated by moving from VMware to the cloud or hybrid. IBM Consulting provides data centre migration (DC exit), a comprehensive solution to help organizations efficiently and strategically migrate from their data centre infrastructure to their cloud of choice, including AWS. IBM’s generative AI and IBM–AWS collaborative investments enable scaled migration.

AWS Cloud migration scenarios

To build new capabilities, boost operational efficiency, and implement cloud-native architecture on AWS Cloud, enterprises can explore numerous scenarios to relocate and modernize VMware workloads to AWs:

Clients can move VMware VMs to AWS instances first. This requires rehosting apps on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and maybe reconfiguring them for the cloud. After migration, organisations can modernise their applications to use AWS native services like Amazon RDS for database management, AWS Lambda for serverless computing, and Amazon S3 for scalable storage.

IBM’s container-first approach provides an end-to-end stack of solutions and services to satisfy modern organisations’ complex needs. From cloud infrastructure and AI to cybersecurity and data management, it covers it all. This product centres on ROSA and OpenShift Virtualization. These technologies demonstrate IBM’s commitment to flexible, scalable, and integrated business innovation and efficiency.

ROSA, EKS, and Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate may containerize workloads across the AWS Cloud to reduce vendor lock-in. Businesses can execute and manage containerized and virtual machine (VM) workloads on a single platform using Red Hat OpenShift virtualization.

Software as a service (SaaS): VMware applications can be migrated to AWS. The flexible, cost-effective, and efficient way to deliver software applications is SaaS.

Offered managed services: IBM is an AWS-certified MSP that can migrate VMware workloads to AWS managed services. AWS managed services automate and simplify cloud management. IBM services help organizations adapt and operate in the AWS Cloud with best practices, security, and compliance. Managed services let companies focus on their core business while IBM manages cloud infrastructure.

IBM Migration Factory speeds cloud migration

IBM understands AWS technologies from years of collaboration and expertise, enabling enterprise integration and optimisation. IBM provides a tailored strategy to meet clients’ needs.

AWS Migration Factory, based on IBM Garage Methodology, is a unique app modernization engagement approach from IBM Consulting. This squad-based, workstream-centric strategy uses gen AI and automation to scale rapid transformation.

The structured and efficient AWS Migration Factory framework migrates huge VMware workloads to AWS. Organizations may reduce risks, costs, and time for cloud migration by using automated technologies, best practices, and a phased strategy. The manufacturing speeds client engagements with cooperative incentive programmes.

IBM thoroughly evaluates the client’s VMware setup before migrating. This includes workload dependencies, performance metrics, and migration needs. Based on the assessment, a complete migration strategy should include timetables, resource allocation, and risk mitigation. The IBM Consulting Cloud Accelerator, IBM Consulting Delivery Curator, IBM Consulting developer experience platform, and IBM Consulting AIOps solutions help plan, design, and execute end-to-end migration and modernization journeys.

These assets are supported by IBM Delivery Central. Digitising and improving delivery procedures and providing real-time oversight, this end-to-end delivery execution platform transforms delivery. Powered by generative AI, these assets and assistants serve key personas’ consumption modes.

Other AWS tools and services for VMware workload migration include AWS Migration Hub. It accelerates and automates application migration to AWS, offering visibility, tracking, and coordination, incorporating AWS Application Migration Services.

IBM’s Generative-AI migration tools

IBM used Amazon Bedrock to create migration tools and assets. Using Amazon Bedrock and generative AI, this unique approach migrates applications and workloads to the cloud.

Service-based AI-powered discovery: Extracts crucial data from client data repositories to speed up application discovery.

Artificial intelligence-powered migration aid: Transforms natural language questions into SQL queries to retrieve application and server migration status from a centralised data lake (Delivery Curator) during migration.

Generative AI design assistant: Uses models like llama2 on Delivery Curator’s centralised data store and the design assistant to speed up design.

IBM helped a worldwide manufacturer move VMware workloads to AWS

Moving to AWS may save costs, scale, and innovate for companies. IBM assisted a worldwide consumer products manufacturer in migrating 400 applications to AWS in two years as part of its product strategy shift. To increase agility, scalability, and security, the customer moved to AWS.

The customer also needed to train personnel on new data handling techniques and the architectural transition. To achieve these goals, the customer moved their technology from on-premises to AWS, which improved business performance by 50% and saved up to 50% utilising Amazon RDS.

John Forstrom, Co-Founder & CEO of Zencore – Interview Series

Zencore is a premier Google Cloud consulting and engineering partner, empowering organizations to succeed through expert guidance, comprehensive services, and a relentless focus on risk reduction and client success.

John Forstrom is Zencore’s C-Founder and CEO, he is focused on helping companies make the transformation to cloud based services.

An early believer in Cloud, John joined AWS cloud management software company RightScale in 2009. While many were doubting the use of cloud computing beyond startups, this experience provided him with a front row seat to the shadow adoption of AWS and value of IaaS in large organizations.

In 2013 John joined Google Cloud as part of the initial business team working with product and engineering on the strategy for large enterprises and digital natives.

When John is not making all the connections between Zencore’s customers, partners and Google he can be found on the nearest body of water (surfing, fishing, swimming, paddling).

For over 5 years you worked at Google Cloud, what were some of your responsibilities and what were some of the key highlights from this period?

I joined Google Cloud in September of 2013 when the Cloud division was just a small startup inside of Google. I was one of the first external hires for a business development team that worked with product and engineering to acquire the initial large, strategic customers.

It was a pretty unique time at Google Cloud in which a few hundred of us (now the business is 35k+ employees) were working hand in hand to compete against AWS, which at the time had a much more mature offering. We were 100% focused on the customer and acted as trusted advisors to the early adopters. These companies knew Google Cloud didn’t have feature parity with Amazon, but found value in having a seat at the table as Google built their products and prioritized features.

The highlight for me was in 2015 when I secured a contract for one of the first billion dollar revenue Google Cloud customers.

Can you share more about the genesis of Zencore and what motivated you as a former Google insider to start a company focused exclusively on Google Cloud services?

I think what we have created at Zencore is pretty special, but the concept is rather simple. More than half the company is ex-Google and we have lived and breathed the complexity of clients going from zero to having a significant footprint in Google Cloud.

We took that experience from inside the machine and created a company to solve the major challenges that clients face as they start their journey or ramp on Google Cloud. For me personally and many of us at Zencore it’s refreshing to not have any limitations between us and doing the right thing for customers every time. We make fast decisions and get the right people involved. Zencore is designed to be a throwback to those early days of Google Cloud.

Additionally, our experience with the partner ecosystem during our time at Google consisted mainly of partners who didn’t start with Cloud. So many of Google’s partners started with Workspace, AWS or IT services and extended that to a Google Cloud practice. The ecosystem has definitely matured, but the opportunity for us was to create a business focused only on Google Cloud engineering from the beginning. Our premise was a partner organization that does one thing really really well would make the biggest impact for Google and its customers.

Zencore has chosen to specialize solely in Google Cloud from its inception. What unique opportunities and challenges does this specialization present in the rapidly evolving cloud market?

When you align your company to a single vendor, there is inherent risk in that approach. However, the risk is not significant given Google Cloud’s growth, broad data and infrastructure product portfolio and investment in Gen AI. We are still relatively early in the global adoption of public cloud services and we are very comfortable betting on Google as one of the two long term winners.

The upside to having an entire company focusing on one thing is we are all rowing in the same direction all day, every day. The collaboration between our engineers is such a powerful part of our culture and that only comes from everyone working to solve similar challenges with our clients. When you have delivered hundreds of Google Cloud infrastructure, data and Gen AI projects, there’s not a lot that we haven’t seen which is really powerful when you are working on a complex, high risk engagement.

You are right that the market moves very quickly and we feel like that singular focus on Google allows us to stay current and provide the most value to our clients.

You emphasize a customer-centric and opinionated approach in your services. How does this philosophy translate into tangible benefits for your clients, especially when considering the integration of open-source solutions?

Zencore’s clients are buying experience from a trusted advisor. When they start a project that has significant risk, they want to know that we are 100% aligned with their interests and sometimes that includes sharing some hard truths. Many times the recommendations we make are to not use a Google Cloud native product because an open source option is the best solution. I think that scenario is more rare than you would think. Google has done a really good job of building managed products on top of widely adopted open source solutions that have low operational overhead and are integrated well with the rest of the platform.

But in each one of these conversations we lay out the benefits and challenges of all the options based on real life experience. The client benefits from this approach when speed is critical. There are so many decisions to make and when we recommend a Google Cloud native product for example, the client doesn’t need to spend time second guessing the decision or wasting cycles doing an evaluation. They know we bring an independent, experienced lens to every decision we make.

Your innovative support model that bypasses traditional ticketing systems has been praised by many. Could you elaborate on how this model enhances operational efficiency and client satisfaction?

I like to joke that one of the biggest benefits of working with Zencore is that none of us have a professional services background. The reality is that we don’t do things because that’s the way they have always been done. Our reseller support offering is a great example of one area in which we have taken an innovative approach.

Many of our clients are mid-to-large size software companies. They have experienced engineers, want to move fast, but sometimes they get stuck.

The last thing they want to do when they have a consultative question is to open a ticket, get triaged by an inexperienced support rep, escalate and have that process take a day or two. It’s a total waste of their time and they end up not engaging with a partner’s support offering.

So we created a model to fit into how they work today. Every client get’s a dedicated Slack channel. On the backend of that channel is the entire engineering staff at Zencore.

So when you ask us a deeply technical question, in 15-30 minutes you are Slacking with an experienced cloud engineer or architect directly who will help to unblock your challenge. In addition, many of the questions we receive are less Google Cloud related than they are about the technology that the customer is connecting to Google like Terraform or a particular CI/CD product. It’s that intersection of the customer’s stack and Google Cloud that can be the most complex.

Direct access to our engineers is like gold to our clients. Rather than struggle with an issue, search stack overflow and get frustrated, they ping a channel and immediately get help from an engineer who has worked on dozens of complex projects.

Our clients have described it as “the next best thing to having direct Slack access with Google.”

What are the most common pitfalls companies face when migrating to cloud technologies, and how does Zencore help navigate these challenges?

We have thought a lot about this question and last year came up with five of the most common pitfalls to cloud migrations.

Not understanding workload needs and insufficient application assessment. Existing workloads might behave unpredictably in a new cloud environment. This can lead to performance issues and failed application migrations.

Insufficient implementation and strategy development. Improper implementation or strategy development can lead to downtime, cost overruns, and a mismatch between an organization’s goals and the outcomes from its cloud implementation.

Security and compliance considerations. Insufficient security and compliance considerations can lead to breaches and fines, as well as a loss of customer goodwill, revenue, and data.

Lack of cost optimization and poor resource management. Without a proper understanding of billing, costs, and how to maximize the return on cloud resource spending, cloud costs can fail to align with business objectives.

Skill gaps. Skill gaps can lead to a domino effect of problems, including poorly designed architecture, inefficient resource allocation, security vulnerabilities, and, ultimately, project failure.

Zencore prioritizes an outcome-based approach that focuses on quickly getting hands-ons with our clients. We want the strategy and architecture to be well thought out, but you cannot spend your time in endless workshops run by consultants. These five pillars best describe our overall methodology.

A deep understanding of the cloud platform. We know Google Cloud inside and out, including key areas like data cloud, machine learning, AI, and Kubernetes.

Proven methodologies. Our streamlined assessment, planning, and migration processes minimize unplanned downtime and reduce the impact on your staff.

The ability to guide the selection of the right intial cloud project tailored for success. We guide you in selecting and planning cloud projects that are set up for success, especially during early phases like evaluating workload migrations.

Expertise in cloud security. We help minimize risks with our deep knowledge of cloud security, protecting you from data breaches and other costly issues.

Hands on development capabilities. We are outcome oriented, and bring the engineering resources needed to get your solution deployed and running in production

With the cloud technology landscape continuously evolving, what emerging trends do you believe will significantly impact how organizations adopt and utilize Google Cloud in the next few years?

I think we are on a journey here in the constantly evolving cloud space. I’ll describe it in 3 steps, and I believe we’re somewhere in between step 2 and 3.

First, we all experienced the shift from Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to Platform as a Service (PaaS). Companies are increasingly favoring PaaS solutions because they simplify the development process, reduce the need for managing underlying infrastructure, and accelerate time-to-market. Google Cloud’s PaaS offerings, such as Cloud Run, allow developers to focus more on coding and less on maintenance, which fosters innovation and efficiency.

Second, the rise of managed services is transforming the way organizations handle their cloud operations. Managed services like Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud SQL and BigQuery take the burden of routine management tasks off the shoulders of IT teams. This shift not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures higher levels of reliability and security. By leveraging these managed services, organizations can allocate more resources towards strategic initiatives rather than routine upkeep.

Lastly, the integration of generative AI is set to revolutionize business operations across various industries. Google Cloud’s AI and machine learning services, including the new generative AI models, empower businesses to harness advanced analytics, automate complex processes, and enhance customer experiences. For example, tools like Vertex AI make it easier for companies to develop and deploy sophisticated AI models, driving innovation and creating new value propositions.

This is just the beginning of the age of AI in everyday life for organizations running on Google Cloud and it’s definitely where we see a lot of momentum. To that end we built a set of services at Zencore we call Zen AI to help companies building AI applications or integrating AI into their existing processes.

How has your background at Google influenced your leadership style at Zencore, and what key qualities do you look for when assembling your team of cloud experts?

It’s a great question. When you look at the SRE organization at Google the Individual Contributors (ICs) are the most important part of the organization, not the managers. The ICs are highly paid, well respected and make things work without a lot of oversight. They are truly the special forces inside of Google.

What I learned is that if you hire the right people things actually work very well without a dedicated people management layer at our size. I think that one of the most unique things about Zencore is that there are no individuals whose only job is to manage people. We are an assembly of ICs who are still pretty good at their area of expertise that lead others who may be a little less experienced. Creating a company of leaders instead of a company of managers has become a key component to the culture we have created. You respect your manager because in most cases he or she is more experienced at their job and still performing it at a very high level. It’s a very collaborative approach.

From an engineering perspective, we have very high standards. We review so many resumes and they all look similar with the standard Google Cloud professional certifications listed. We generally don’t care how many certs you have obtained. What matters to us when we are hiring an architect or engineer is significant practical experience with Google Cloud. Your experience with migrations, ML ops, building a Kubernetes Operator or your depth with complex data environments leveraging BigQuery are what’s meaningful to Zencore and its clients.

Could you share a case study where Zencore’s approach significantly improved a client’s business outcomes through cloud adoption?

Although migration work is a key component of our business, it’s the data platform engagements that really stand out when you’re talking about value to the business.

One project that really stands out is a complex engagement that involved working with a company that was made up of a diverse portfolio of software brands. They were struggling with operational inefficiencies and an incomplete view of their business due to data being siloed across their various brands. This led to inconsistent data standards and made it difficult for them to gain actionable insights.

When Zencore came on board, our primary goal was to consolidate these disparate data sources and build a highly scalable data platform on Google Cloud Platform. We tackled this challenge through several key initiatives:

First, we migrated their various databases, including Redshift and SQL Server, to BigQuery. This step unified their data landscape, making it easier and more efficient for them to access and analyze their data.

Next, we focused on enhancing their data ingestion and validation processes. By implementing and automating their data job orchestration and integrating CI/CD pipelines, we ensured that their data ingestion was reliable and timely. This setup also improved the data validation checks, which are crucial for maintaining data integrity.

We also standardized their data modeling using DBT, which is an open source tool that allows you to develop data transformation models in a version controlled, easy to understand manner. . This allowed a standardization of data models across the many disparate brands, which made data analysis and reporting much easier for their teams across their portfolio.

Additionally, we consolidated multiple BI tools into a single Looker environment on GCP. This move streamlined their reporting processes and provided a unified platform for generating insights across all their portfolio companies.

The impact of these efforts was transformative. Our client now has a consolidated data environment, which gives them a comprehensive view of their business operations. This unified data platform has significantly improved their strategic decision-making capabilities and operational efficiency. Furthermore, this transformation enabled them to develop a new strategy to monetize their data, creating a new revenue stream and providing them with a strategic advantage in the market.

Looking ahead, what are your long-term goals for Zencore, and how do you plan to evolve your services to meet the future needs of your clients?

The market moves so fast that I’m not joking when I say six months is long term. I think the biggest opportunity for both Zencore and Google Cloud is with Generative AI. We have moved quickly past the hype phase and are now working on projects with real operational value that will go into production. And the value of Gen AI is so compelling that it’s putting massive pressure on organizations to get their data house in order to leverage the technology. The risk of not engaging and understanding the value of Gen AI is that your competition will use it to leapfrog you in the market.

So Zencore is doing several things to address this opportunity. One is to continue to invest in the right architects and engineers that have experience across a broad set of industries and use cases focused on things like RAG, enterprise search and of course Google products like Vertex AI.

You will also see us take a much more vertical approach, which is something historically we have not done. When you solve a specific challenge for one client in an industry using Gen AI, the reality is that you have done 80% of the work to solve the challenge for a significant number of clients in the industry. This is a unique advantage for us when time to market is critical.

Finally you will see us make a significant investment in our data cloud practice. Zencore will always have a 360 degree approach to Gen AI projects and be ready to focus on the infrastructure, security, data pipelines and ml ops to ensure a successful end to end production solution.

Thank you for the great interview, readers who wish to learn more should visit Zencore.
