3. IT PRO to IT SCIENTIST Why What How What is this all about?
We are in the cloud era, Private AND Public but what does that mean to us as IT Pros?
This session is about:
Why you must adopt a scientific mind set for the Cloud Era.
Us geeks tend to dive straight into the tech area, but:
First, we will share our experience with the people part of “People , Process and Products” story
Second, you will also share our experience with super gadgets we use to create private and hybrid clouds 
Finally, this session will be PACKED with lots demos
Are you ready to start your journey to the cloud? Sam, what do you think? (Hand off to Sam)

4. Introduction to the IT Scientist
The Life of an IT Pro
Why
Before Bullet 1:
Lee: Sam mentioned the people and process side, so let’s take that knowledge and how do we take this and become and IT Scientist
We follow 3 follow 3 simple steps
Start
First you need to build your lab.
Bullet 2
Decide and setup your experiments, your IT hypothesis
Build your experiments
Examples:
Hypothesis example: use new version of scom to monitor server
: Use cloud tools to manage on prem resources
: Send local data to cloud database
Bullet 3:
Is this repeatable, can you re-use this? You must be able to repeat our reults, and rebuild, or retool our Lab or experiments easily. Especially as new technology. – Supports NEW variables, (new products, new requirements)
After Bullet point 3:
Lee: Ask Sam, do you have a home lab?
Sam: Lee, I work for myself… and I am gadget mad, so I will have to show you in demo 1
Have you heard about the intel NUC?
Lee: Yeah I have, I’ve heard of limitations in memory and otherwise can I run an entire lab with them?
Sam:
Cloud approach and the features by Update Rollup is changing the game.
V1 plus UR +UR
In context of the audience at SCU
Think about the process you follow when you get a new game for your console. You gaming skills are at an expert level as measured by your game skill.

6. Introduction to the IT Scientist - What
OK, but seriously what is an IT Scientist…..
IT Professional, who adapts scientific approaches, tools, processes and consistency into their work.

Adapt a Scientific
Approach

8. Scientific Approach Ask a Question Do Background Research
Construct a Hypothesis
Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
Communicate Your Results
Can I Deploy X on X ?
Blogs / Docs / Reports
I can use PowerShell to X
Try it in the Lab!
Analyze / Record / Finalize / Capture
Blog / Teach / Github / Goto Production
