Cloud Management Showdown: Automation, Agility & Hybrid Cloud Explained | I Bot You Didn’t Know S3E2

Season 3 of I Bot You Didn’t Know continues with a deep dive into Cloud Management — and yes, things get chaotic fast. 😂 This episode features Mike Barmonde hosting a fast-paced showdown between Nutanix experts Mayank Gupta, Director of Product Management, and Bill Parks, as they battle through categories like Legit or Nah, Succinctly Succinct, Acronym Speedfire, and the dreaded Final Bot

Together, they unpack what modern cloud management actually means — from hybrid cloud continuity and seamless integration, to why automation isn’t just about saving money, but about driving business agility. You’ll hear why cloud automation frees IT teams from repetitive work, how IT roles are evolving into platform engineers, and why connecting on-prem and public cloud environments is critical for operational consistency

Along the way, expect debates on:
• Whether cloud automation really reduces costs
• Why ITSM tools like ServiceNow and Jira still matter
• How automation enables faster service delivery
• What “business agility” actually means
• And how hybrid cloud is reshaping modern IT roles

Plus: jokes, chaos, questionable metaphors, and at least one person not going home.

If you’re navigating hybrid multicloud environments, exploring automation, or just want cloud concepts explained without the fluff, this episode is for you.
