How are talks structured?
Andrew the host will drive the conversation by asking questions. Speakers will reply.
There are suggestion questions, but this is an organic conversation, and we're hoping for attendees questions but most attendees like to listen.
Andrew can interrupt speakers at anytime
Its encouraged for guest speakers to raise their hand to queue for reply
For guest speakers watch for raised hands or allow for artificial pauses to allow another guest speaker to get a turn.
#100DaysOfCloud community is focused on beginners. Our Twitter Spaces will contain experts but we are looking to answer fundamental knowledge across a wide range of topics.
~45 mins (30 minutes to 1 hour).
Since we are planning 100 Twitter Spaces, they will be frequently. There is no set schedule eg. every Wednesday. We will be populating a public calendar for anyone to access, and you can get a reminder via Twitter since we'll post them a bit of ahead of time.
The time of day will vary. We have three possible slots for a talk.
The reason is because some of the speakers live in different time-zones and we want to cycle our time of day to ensure people in different parts of the world have the opportunity to attend. This doesn't mean a talk will be repeated multiple times, but that our talks will all over the place.
Morning Talk (10:00am ET)
other time zones for references
- 7:00am PT
- 3:00pm BST
- 7:30PM IST
Afternoon Talk (3:00pm ET)
other time zones for reference

Night Talk (9pm ET)
other time zones for reference

Can anyone who attend speak? Are listeners allowed to ask questions?
The Twitter Space is a panel of approved speakers between 1 and 3 (4 if you include the host). Listeners can request to speak to ask a question, and must raise their hand and request to speak. After they ask their question they are put back to being a speaker.
If there is a known expert for the topic in question that shows up, and the panel is small, we may promote them to a speaker for the rest of the panel.
I want to a speaker but I was never asked, can I request to be a speaker?
Direct Message Andrew Brown on Twitter.
I missed the Twitter Space, are these recorded and where can I watch them?
The recordings will be saved, but we are uncertain of the effort or technical challenges to save and upload them all, and will be polling the guest speakers. For the time being, if you want to hear a talk you need to attend in real-time.
Will you ever do the same topic twice?
If the demand is their by speakers or the community in general we can repeat a topic so new people have an opportunity to participate in speaking and listening.
What are the rules? Is their a CoC?
100DaysOfCloud has a Code of Conduct. Generally just be respectful of other technologies. Try to limit swearing but aren't going to kick a speaker for doing so. Try not to be too devise or keep driving a point after its been made. Try and use gender-neutral language to the best of your ability.
This is a list of planned twitter spaces. The order does not represent the order in which they will happen. The questions listed are just suggestions and do not reflect the actual content of the talks. Until they are put on the calendar, the guest speakers and topic details can change.
If you want to see a Cloud talk that is not listed, please suggest so we can get 100 ideas! (42/100)

What can we do with Minor Clouds?
Everybody knows about AWS, Azure and GCP but what about the minor clouds? eg Vultr, Linode and Digital Ocean?
I am talking with Vlad Ionescu and Sathyajith Bhat on Twitter Spaces about our experiences where these minor cloud providers and their fit for your cloud workloads.
Questions
- We know of Major providers eg. Azure, AWS and GCP. There are also many emerging or existing cloud service providers with few services around a core offering. Should these providers be considered their minor cloud service providers, or are they the cloud platforms?
- How many Minor Cloud Service Providers (mCSPs) currently exist?
- Do they a specific edge or specialization that can be met or are they simply cost-effective with few services and a friendlier UI?
- What can't you do on a Major Cloud Service Provider (MCSP) vs a Minor Cloud Service Provider? (mCSP)
- What can't you do on a mCSP that you can do on a MCSP?

- Is Multi-cloud a billing trap?
eg. Ingress and Outgress costs, you are dropping the best-of-breed?
- Do CSPs have sane defaults where are the traps?
eg. When you launch an RDS its setup for production costs by default and takes some work to get to free tier
- Should all CSPs have an initial sandbox?
eg. Should experecing an overbilling incident and getting refunded be part of the learning experience?
- Our CSPS and Cloud Platforms good or evil about billing eg.
- DataDog makes it hard to open a support ticket, they don't offer paid support so you can't escluate a billing incident, their marketing page obscure the cost of services and requires digging, its not easy to understand the breakdown of costs. You have to make a stink to get back a refund which you would expect not to be your fault.
- Should people be considering Second or Third Tier providers to control spend?
- There is the concept of technical debt and running into a technical debt-end, is it the same with spend?
eg. When a company scales is it truley possible to get stuck with an expensive service you can't rip out? any examples? What is causing the pull?
- What is the underlying reason of cost?
eg. is it Data Gravity wells?
eg. is it a company that wants to do and use everything in everying?
eg. it is Shadow IT? People want agility but they don't go through a centeralized tech dep
- Should companies sit down an create a spend roadmap? It is something they can do on their own, or should they have a Cloud Economist just like having an Accouantant?
- Is Cloud Economist services only really avaliable to larger companies or is their smaller providers eg. Accounting Firm vs Single Accountant
