C2C Fortnightly News: Cisco is in love with K8s! - NC2C001

Get ready to have your mind blown as we navigate the tectonic shifts within the cloud and networking realm, stirring up the landscape with Cisco's latest power move. The acquisition of Isovalent, the wizards behind EBPF and Cilium, isn't just a headline-it's a signpost towards a future where Cisco could become the Gandalf of the cloud ecosystem. We're peeling back the layers of this strategic play, and we're not shying away from the hard questions: What does this mean for the container network interfaces and the open-source community? Will Cisco's embrace of Cilium lead to a magical blend of innovation and tradition? There's no crystal ball, but we've got the next best thing-insights, predictions, and a bit of laughter at the absurdity of network gear that might just ask for printer toner.
Then, we pivot to another industry shockwave as we scrutinize Hewlett-Packard Enterprises' bold acquisition of Juniper Networks. It's not just a plot twist; it's a full-blown narrative reshuffle that has us pondering HPE's hunger for Juniper's network prowess and AI treasure trove. Does this signal a new dawn for HPE in the arena of AI-driven networking? How will Aruba Networks and Mist Systems fit into this newly-drawn map? And just when you thought we might take a breather, we're diving into the implications of VMware's reimagined partner program, forecasting what the future holds for VMware Certified Professionals and the swirling eddy of industry changes. Stay tuned, as we tackle these industry-shaking developments with our trademark mix of depth and wit-because who says tech talk can't have a few laughs along the way?

Breaking out the news into its own thing I think was a really good idea. You get to go into each topic just a bit more and like you said keeps the other podcast more focused.
