Are we close to hitting peak confusion regarding containers? Are we in the middle of a container war? Does anyone really know how to build a cloud native computing architecture? What does it mean to be cloud native?
The questions are many as we build a new computing paradigm for enterprises and service providers. With every answer we provide to the big challenges cloud operators and application developers face, three more are raised.
In this presentation, Chris Aniszczyk – COO of Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Executive Director of Open Container Initiative – will discuss the lessons we have learned with containers so far, including how Google (and quite a few other companies) have been developing and using containers to manage applications for over decade. His session will address the old world of node first development vs. the new world of cloud native computing; properties of a cloud native computing architecture – container packaged, dynamically managed and micro-services oriented – and the benefits it can provide developers, CIOs and end users. Attendees will hear examples of open source projects, like Fluentd and gRPC, that have strong commercial adoption, what to do with the containers once they are standardized, and different adoption paths a company can take to become cloud native.
