Q3: What have you seen as the most important things to make modernization work well? 

Q4: Do you have any thoughts about Broadcom taking over VMware? 

Q5: Has anything really changed in the dynamics between the three big cloud providers, or do you expect AWS to just stay in the lead for the foreseeable future?

Q6: During the Phases of Cloud shows, you talked about it beginning to start a new phase of the cloud. What expectations do you have for the next phase?

Q7: There have been a bunch of AI shows lately. If I’m not a Data Scientist, should I bother listening to those shows? 

Q8: A bunch of us at work are experimenting with various AI technologies, but we’re being told by our employer that it might violate some legal issues and expose some work data. Any thoughts?

Q9: Do you have any plans to do any Cloudcast Basics series about some of the AI technologies?
