Episode 51 - Roaring News - Roaring Elephant

In this news episode (our very first one), Dave is all-out on Artificial Intelligence and its use in naming “stuff”; for some subjects it apparently works very well, for other subjects not so much…

Jhon brings a blog on deploying new Kerberos functionality and a tutorial for Kafka Connect for those that have not really looked at it. The ensuing discussion on Nifi vs kafka is purely coincidental.
