CFG ctech questions
- cloud services, solutions strategy where it works
- moving IBM VDI services in-house and IBM management
- weak business partnerships, good operations support
- moving to hybrid cloud using IBM services
- Azure is strategic platform
- MS won't work with other software - eg O365 workers in MS Team only - not existing directory groups
- need proactive capacity management
- worked for F5 usage forecast
- ctech team read-only access to all - minus security?
- monitoring tools - security,
- project models for: tactical, analysis, small, enterprise
- stakeholder RACI maps?
- TOGAF and UX models ?
- std solution template for EA
- goals > assumptions ( constraints ) > strategies > options > recommendation > expected impacts > delivery keys / risks > operations keys / risks > gnatt milestones > commitments > WBS > sprints
- EA SME - stewards solution through engineering, operations
- need internal Kbase
- where should we use MS Teams?

ESB vs Message Broker
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3280576/how-does-rabbitmq-compare-to-mule
Mule is an ESB (Enterprise Service Bus). RabbitMQ is a message broker.
An ESB provides added layers atop of a message broker such as routing, transformations and business process management. It is a mediator between applications, integrating Web Services, REST endpoints, database connections, email and ftp servers - you name it. It is a high-level integration backbone which orchestrates interoperability within a network of applications that speak different protocols.
A message broker is a lower level component which enables you as a developer to relay raw messages between publishers and subscribers, typically between components of the same system but not always. It is used to enable asynchronous processing to keep response times low. Some tasks take longer to process and you don't want them to hold things up if they're not time-sensitive. Instead, post a message to a queue (as a publisher) and have a subscriber pick it up and process it "later".
ESBs include: IBM IIB, Mule etc
Message Brokers include: IBM MQ, ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ, Kafka etc
Kafka as a Message Broker
https://hackernoon.com/introduction-to-message-brokers-part-1-apache-kafka-vs-rabbitmq-8fd67bf68566
Kafka can be used as a message broker by dynamically routing messages to a single listener and, if not handled, re-route to a next listener
Routed messages are set to no longer available on the queue to avoid sending the same message twice to different handlers
