Diving into the engine room is only useful if a) you actually get your hands dirty and b) if you bring some learnings back to the other levels. After all, the architect elevator is a connecting element across the levels. I perhaps learned more during this engine room visit than I had bargained for, but I was happy to return back with a slew of fresh insights:
Cloud removes many constraints that have shaped architectures of the past, such as slow provisioning and start-up times, high fixed costs, and limited transparency. However, the modern systems we design also tend to have more complex run-time behaviors that want to be well-architected. If anything, the need for architects has increased.
The Software Architect Elevator helps architects and IT professionals to take their role to the next level. By sharing the real-life journey of a chief architect, it shows how to influence organizations at the intersection of business and technology. Buy it on Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon Europe
The course covers the requirements of the STCW Code, as amended, Section A-III/2 Table AIII/2 and Section A-III/1 Table A-III/1 for both Function: Maintain a safe engineering watch: engine room resource management and Function: Leadership and Teamworking Skills at the Operational Level.
The Engine Room Resource Management Course combines online materials, audio, videos, group exercises and case studies to understand resource management. Students will learn to apply resource management, Leadership and Teamworking skills for the operation of the engineering plant onboard a vessel.

A few days ago, bored of weaselling and polishing countless power points slides that make so much of the output of any tech exec, I decided to explore the lower end of the call buttons of the elevator.
A brief trip to the engine room was long due. Indeed it has been years since I last venture where engineers spend all of their time in what I remember to be dark, secluded spaces below the waterline, relentlessly typing on their keyboards with the sole purpose to keep the ship running.
Within a few days (and several hours stolen from my beloved presentations), I managed to code, test, build, and deploy the MVP of an analytical front end for my clients using the tech I was more acquainted with (Java, Scala, Spring).
(Disclaimer: This article is focused on the tenants of the cloud software deployment cycle, I'm not going to dig into the intricacies of the application architecture. It's just worth to mention that: I'm having incredible fun in working with Snowflake and their amazing customer support team; Spring Boot as a powerful, flexible and scalable framework, SonarQube as valuable tool to help my code to become better and better at every refactoring cycle and so much more.)
Luckily, Stack Overflow is there to help, and with some patience, digging and scavenging for precious code snippets, I managed to replenish my box with the tools I needed and flex my sore muscles into proper coding.
With the precious help of SonarQube Issue list, IntelliJ refactoring tools and the overly underestimated support of extensive unit tests, after a few hours of intense work it starts taking a decent shape.
argument to the JVM, it took quite a bit of digging and trying, at the end I found (Stack Overflow!) that it's possible to configure the image start command using the buildpack by adding the following configuration point to the spring-boot-maven-plugin:
Importantly, we have to keep in mind that Azure maps Internet requests to embedded Tomcat server that is running on the port - 80. If spring is configured to run on another port (e.g. 8080), we need to add an environment variable to the web app that defines the port for the embedded server.
At this point, az cli will prompt for the registry username and password, it is possible to obtain these information by enabling admin user (disabled by default at registry creation) and retrieving locally the corresponding credentials:
It's been incredibly fun to get back to coding, learn to use Azure Cloud, Azure DevOps, push my limits beyond standard deployment to containers and wrap it all together in a usable interface that I can now expose as MVP to my customers.
Did I have to do it? Probably not, I could have acted as a normal architecture lead and push down requirements and presentations to the engine room achieving the same net result for the business. So why did I do it?
I wanted to check out the cloud from a very practical and concreted starting point, it's easy to discuss cloud strategy at the penthouse, but it's also as easy to forget what it means from a practical standpoint.
To give my job title any justice and to be able to understand what it means to actually build services and solutions. This visit to the engine room has been extremely important and allowed me to define a few clear priorities when I architect solutions and platforms:
- Never underestimate the complexity inherently bound to extreme virtualisation.
- Everything is a few clicks away in the cloud. It doesn't mean that it works by magic at the first attempt.
- Scalability and efficient resource handling is key. In a place where there's access to almost infinite resources, it is of paramount importance to cautiously allocate said resources, for scalability comes at a cost and the cost can become steep very quickly.
- Coding is incredible fun, I forgot what it meant.
Took me a while to set up because I found I had to launch things in a specific order. The trouble I had was I kept having multiple copies of all the apps at the same time. I had to use Task Manager to shut down those apps.
Back 4 Blood worked in an odd mode where I was still in the Steam VR Home room, looking at a huge virtual TV. The TV was in VR but I could still see the VR room around it. B4B would play for an hour then crash.
I have been using the Luke Ross VR mod for Cyberpunk 2077. It is strictly mouse & keyboard (for me) or controller. I am also into Radio Control cars. I put small pieces of double stick servo tape on the W, X & I keys. They stick up like Braille so I can find my hand placement on the keyboard, while blind in the headset. I made the W bump sticky rubber exposed and X is shiny, so I can feel the difference with my fingertips.
With her big ears and piercing purple eyes, the teenage sensation of sci-fi inspired band Big Sand looks as though she crawled out of an exiled, underground desert colony, destined to reimagine music as we know it. Which is exactly what she did.
Alongside her two alien bandmates, Taal is the lead singer of a new virtual science fiction band co-created by musician and radio host Sally Coleman, with a bevy of musical, visual and technical collaborators. Big Sand is an animated, narrative-driven musical adventure traversing virtual and physical worlds and inviting audiences along for the ride.
To connect audiences with the speculative world and characters of Big Sand, Sally knew that she was going to have to find a way to reach audiences on social media, using images and short form video. She developed a set of technicolour drawings that throwback to the classic hand-drawn sci-fi aesthetics that captivated her younger self, but quickly realised that current animation processes were going to require an investment of time and money at a scale well beyond her means as an independent artist.
Her advisors begged to differ. They argued that the world of Big Sand could be translated into 3D using a game engine like the free software Unreal Engine, without compromising her aesthetic. They suggested developing a specific set of programming rules to dictate light and movement in such a way that would preserve that 2D, hand-drawn feel.
Hosted at The Lab in Adelaide, a venue that cocoons audiences in panoramic LED screens, Sally and her team placed six virtual cameras in the fictional world of Big Sand in Unreal Engine, mapping those to the venue walls. Using MIDI triggers in the music software Ableton, the sound activated automated changes to the visual material, a capability not yet fully exploited by the music industry yet, Sally believes.
Our four Full Mission Bridge Simulators are designed for comprehensive training and appraisal for all bridge officers. Entire berth to berth operations can be exercised, including realistic shift of operation to bridge wings and realistic (un)berthing from the bridge wings. The simulator bridges replicate the bridges of the latent cruise ships built for the Carnival Corporation fleet, including a safety center behind each bridge replicating the on board version. The simulators are equipped with 220 degrees horizontal field of view with two additional sets of bridge wings with dome projection, each with a 180 degree field of view. The visual environment delivered in the package contains a large number of area databases of major cruise ports, numerous mathematical ship models of various cruise vessels. The operator can easily change sea and weather conditions and include traffic ships, aircraft and even marine life. Each bridge includes an interface with the bridge on board Carnival Corporation vessels.
Six part-task bridge simulators have a 120 degrees horizontal field of view and two part-task bridges have a 180 degrees field of view provide for specific operations training and appraisal. The visual environment delivered in the package contains a large number of area databases of major cruise ports, numerous mathematical ship models of various cruise vessels with the ability to change sea and weather conditions and include traffic ships, aircraft and even marine life.
The four Full Mission Engine Room Simulators facilitate exercises in all phases of Engine Control Room and Engine Room operation. The Engine Room is represented by ground breaking interactive multi-modal machinery outstations that represent the systems and equipment in the engine room.The ECR/ER emulates the complex control and automation systems found onboard the ships. Normal operations are fully simulated, including all environmental controls such as exhaust emissions, dual fuel operations, ballast water treatment and oil pollution prevention. Emergency situations are exercised through practicing existing ship emergency procedures in the simulator.
