Presented by: João Tomé, Dina Kozlov, Chris Draper, Rebecca Weekly, John Graham-Cumming
Originally aired on January 4 @ 9:30 PM - 10:00 PM EST

In this week's program, we mix it up with different topics and different guests. First, we do a recap and update on our Birthday Week 2023, which was three week ago. Dina Kozlov, a product manager, helps put some highlights into context, and popular announcements.

From Lisbon, where João Tomé and Dina are, we go to Atlanta, in the US. Chris Draper goes over how network flow monitoring is now generally available and why that's relevant for network engineers.

We highlight some other topics of the week, from a storage-saving partnership with the company Prisma to Project Argus, which brings flexibility to implement multiple server management and security solutions. Also, Cloudflare now has a local presence in Mexico. And in Israel, a rocket alert app, Red Alert, which provides real-time rocket alerts for Israeli citizens, was the target of a malicious app impersonation to get user information, phone calls, and SMS.

There’s also the short segment “Around NET,” with Rebecca Weekly, Cloudflare’s VP of Infrastructure, talking directly from San Jose, California, at the OPC Conference — a summit for the IT Ecosystem.

Last but not least, there’s “A bit of Cloudflare’s history,” with our CTO, John Graham-Cumming, going over how Cloudflare had in 2016 an “Evenly Distributed Future” principle and how it evolved into the “connectivity cloud” of today.
