Code: SDT2018 Relevant to your interests Upbound emerges from stealth, raises $9M from GV to build a multicloud platform on Kubernetes Another thing k8s doesn’t do…I guess? “The eight-person Seattle-based startup plans to build a platform that will let Kubernetes users interested in multicloud deployments build services that scale across multiple public clouds and help those companies deploy their applications across those environments.” DC/OS for all the DC/OS’es. It’s DC/OS’es all the way down. (I’m glad they linked to the wikipedia definition for “lingua franca.”) As Kubernetes grows, a startup ecosystem develops in its wake This about 1/3 of what a good, internal strategy memo would be. Needs market-sizing, forecasts, and, well, more numbers. If it also said what action to take, you’d have most of it there. Is K8s Too Complicated? AWS Won Serverless – now all your software are kinda belong to them You know what old Jack Burton always says in a time like this: “I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HELL THAT MEANS!” "We can't be more than one to two years from Amazon hitting that 2 per cent of the serverless (i.e. platform) market. Which means, if you're going to counter play then NOW (not six months later) is the time to be dropping $5 to $10bn on that counter play." See also… Serverless is going to crush Kubernetes (but only in a theoretical world which doesn’t actually exist) - oh boy… CoreOS Is New Linux, Not A RHEL Classic Killer: ‘Importantly, the OpenShift platform cloud software, which included Red Hat’s own implementation of the Kubernetes container controller, will be deployable on either the full-on Red Hat Enterprise Linux in pets mode or the minimalist Red Hat CoreOS in cattle mode. But it will be using the Tectonic version of the Kubernetes controller going forward as well as integrating the Prometheus monitoring tool and etcd for storing telemetry. Gracely tells The Next Platform that the implementation of Kubernetes had outside dependencies such as the CloudForms hybrid cloud management tool (formerly ManageIQ) and was not “native” to Kubernetes in the same way that Tectonic is, meaning free of outside dependenies.’ Developer Advocate Wars / Arms Race - outward and inner…kingmakers Google now says controversial AI voice calling system will identify itself to humans - that sort of defeats the whole point.

In contrast, a third of the 293 respondents said they had no interest in blockchain, and a further 43 per cent said they had no action planned but the tech was "on the radar" – hardly surprising given that it's thrown into just about every product announcement going.” Snap Inc. again shows why it should not have become a public company "Spiegel's performance on the conference call underscored the folly of giving an untested entrepreneur unassailable control over a company."

Relevant to your interests US military says “get of my lawn, you kids” to AWS mono-usage ‘Rival contractors complain that the winner-take-all approach favors Amazon.com Inc., the biggest supplier of cloud services. But Pentagon officials made clear they have little patience for continuing debate over the issue. In response to a question on the “rationale for a single award for this contract,” the answer posted was blunt: “This rationale is not going to be published at this time.”’ More: “It was a decision the department made based on its needs, so adding context there doesn’t benefit us.” But, actually, it’s just one pick for now: “The contract, known as JEDI -- for the the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure Cloud Program -- won’t prevent the Defense Department from working with other cloud vendors in the future.” IBM doth protest too much? Check out Bloomberg’s layman’s definition of cloud: “Cloud services -- in which computing power and storage are hosted in remote data centers run by a third-party company rather than on-site in locally owned machines -- can make it easier for large organizations to move and integrate data across different platforms, quickly expand the data storage it needs based on usage and make system-wide security upgrades to software.” Not too shabby, and it thankfully doesn’t mention THE CYBER.

This week we recap all the important events at SXSW Interactive, explain why Netflix is not going to be an enterprise cloud vendor, discuss Microsoft's decision to open source Service Fabric and recommend never ordering the Bison Ribs. Fabric Solutions Service Fabric is going open source. “There’s a bit of history to this. We've been developing Service Fabric internally for Windows for close to a decade, and most of that time it was a Microsoft-internal platform, which means we have close to a decade's worth of internal Microsoft tools to migrate and processes to refine before we can put something usable out on GitHub.” Netflix could pwn 2020s IT security – they need only reach out and take.
