Day Two Cloud 115: Software-Defined Interconnects With Console Connect (Sponsored)

Today’s Day Two Cloud sponsored episode dives into software-defined interconnects. The big idea is that you go up to a Web browser, click a few times, and now you’ve got a circuit stood up between your data center and AWS, or between you and a business partner, and so on. We’ll get into the details about how it’s done with Console Connect, a PCCW Global company. Our guests from Console Connect at PCCW Global Limited are Jay Turner, Vice President of Development and Operations; and Paul Gampe, Chief Technology Officer. We discuss: * Console Connect’s connectivity platform * Getting under the hood of the orchestration engine * How Console Connect sets up the workflow underneath the automation magic * Running multiple services over a single circuit * More Show Links: Console Connect Console Connect Resources Console Connect Docs @ConsoleConnect – Console Connect on Twitter Console Connect on LinkedIn @PCCWGlobal – PCCW Global on Twitter PCCW Global on LinkedIn @PaulGampe – Paul Gampe on Twitter Paul Gampe on LinkedIn @esmcsqr – Jay Turner on Twitter Jay Turner on LinkedIn Transcript: [00:00:03.440] – Ethan Welcome to Day Two Cloud. We have an absolute treat for you today. I do mean that we had so much fun recording the show. A sponsored show with Console Connect, where we’re gonna talk about software defined, interconnects. The big idea, you go up to a Web browser point, click, now you’ve got a circuit stood up between your data center and AWS or between you and a business partner, etc. And we’re going to get into the details of how all that is done with our guest today. Ned, what stood out to you about this show? [00:00:30.490] – Ned I mean, the key thing that you said is details, and we get into details. They don’t just talk about the product and what it does. I mean, that stuff is pretty cool, but we actually talk about the orchestration engine that’s sitting underneath the workflow engine, how they had to run actual commands on the Cisco gear. We get into the nitty gritty and the details. And for me, that was the most delightful part of the entire conversation. [00:00:53.760] – Ethan It was fun. It was really fun. Your voices today the people you’re going to be hearing, our guests. Paul Gampy, chief technology officer at Console Connect. Jay Turner, vice President of development and operations at Console Connect. And these guys are nerds. Jay, in fact, told us we were prepping for this, that he’s responsible for a lot of the automation and so on that happened. He knows a lot about what’s going on. And again, it really shows. Please enjoy this sponsored episode with Console Connect. Well, Paul, welcome to the show. [00:01:21.820] – Ethan And we want to hand the first question off to you. We need a 10,
