The goal is to be a lasting educational resource, not a newscast. Every 10 days, a new episode is published that covers all topics software engineering. Episodes are either tutorials on a specific topic, or an interview with a well-known character from the software engineering world. All SE Radio episodes are original content — we do not record conferences or talks given in other venues. Each episode comprises two speakers to ensure a lively listening experience. SE Radio is an independent and non-commercial organization.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/software-engineering-radio"},"episode":{"title":"SE Radio 709: Bryan Cantrill on the Data Center Control Plane","slug":"se-radio-709-bryan-cantrill-on-the-data-center-control-plane","published_at":"2026-02-26T19:42:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/software-engineering-radio/se-radio-709-bryan-cantrill-on-the-data-center-control-plane","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/software-engineering-radio","url":"https://se-radio.net/2026/02/se-radio-709-bryan-cantrill-on-the-data-center-control-plane/","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/seradio/709-bryan-cantrill-oxide-computer-control-planes.mp3?dest-id=23379","summary":"Bryan Cantrill, the co-founder and CTO of Oxide Computer company, speaks with host Jeremy Jung about challenges in deploying hardware on-premises at scale. They discuss the difficulty of building up Samsung data centers with off-the-shelf hardware, how vendors silently replace components that cause performance problems, and why AWS and Google build their own hardware. Bryan describes the security vulnerabilities and poor practices built into many baseboard management controllers, the purpose of a control plane, and his experiences building one in NodeJS while struggling with the runtime's future during his time at Joyent. He explains why Oxide chose to use Rust for its control plane and the OpenSolaris-based Illumos as the operating system for their vertically integrated rack-scale hardware, which is designed to help address a number of these key challenges.
