Cloud Engineering Archives - Software Engineering Daily

Venture capital investment has continued to flow into technology startups.  No one builds technology from scratch.  There are cloud services, software libraries, 3rd party services, and software platforms that modern entrepreneurs must adopt to build their products efficiently and quickly.  These layers of infrastructure are a key area for many investors. Tim is a partner at Menlo Ventures where he invests in cloud and data infrastructure, AI/ML and cyber security.  He joins the show to discuss what goes into a smart investment.

This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison. Lee Atchison is a software architect, author, and thought leader on cloud computing and application modernization. His most recent book, Architecting for Scale (O’Reilly Media) is an essential resource for technical teams looking to maintain high availability and manage risk in their cloud environments.Lee is the host of his podcast, Modern Digital Business, an engaging and informative podcast produced for people looking to build and grow their digital business with the help of modern applications and processes developed for today’s fast-moving business environment.

Modern application development methodology increasingly involves moving to service and microservice architectures enabled by the cloud and kubernetes is the backbone of this modern infrastructure trend. Managing costs of kubernetes clusters is therefore becoming increasingly important. Kubecost is the company focused on giving visibility into kubernetes resources, allowing you to reduce your overall kubernetes based infrastructure spend. Webb Brown is the founder of Kubecost and joins us today.             Sponsorship inquiries: sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com.

The Kubernetes ecosystem has drastically changed how development teams ship software. While Kubernetes has provided many advancements in cloud infrastructure, it has also left organizations with massive security blindspots. KSOC was created to give developers and security teams a single control plane to harden multi-cluster Kubernetes environments through event-driven analysis, least privilege enforcement, and remediation-as-code. Jimmy Mesta is the Co-Founder and CTO of KSOC and joins the show to discuss modern Kubernetes security challenges and how security teams need to prepare for a future where Kubernetes is the top attack target for adversaries.

In software engineering, telemetry is the data that is collected about your applications. Unlike logging, which is used in the development of apps to pinpoint errors and code flows, telemetry data includes all operational data including logs, metrics, events, traces, usage, and other analytical data. Companies usually visualize this information to troubleshoot problems and understand patterns and opportunities in how their applications are used.  The company New Relic is a modern observability platform built to optimize your entire software stack from one place. New Relic includes a Telemetry Data Platform that acts as a single source of truth for telemetry data. Built on top of that are tools for full stack observability to visualize and troubleshoot your data in milliseconds. When a problem does occur, New Relic’s applied intelligence will detect and understand the problem to help resolve it faster. Nic Benders is New Relic’s chief architect and GVP of engineering. As part of the engineering team since the early days of the company, Benders has been involved with everything from Agent development to ZooKeeper deployments and all the pieces and products in between. In his role as chief architect, Benders looks after the long-term technical strategy behind New Relic’s product and the experience of all the engineering teams who build it. He joins the show to discuss the engineering behind New Relic.

One of the challenges with Microservices architecture is how you manage dependencies between your services when implementing workflows. Conductor is an open-source microservices and workflow orchestration platform. Boney Sekh co-founded Orkes Inc – a company focused on offering Conductor as a service. Boney joins the show to discuss how engineers leverage Conductor to build highly reliable distributed applications using.

The advent of the cloud introduced a new form of technical debt in which organizations can lose track of what infrastructure they have and how it relates to the business.  While the cloud’s native APIs offer some transparency into your infrastructure, these offerings are often described as necessary but not sufficient.  When companies have a non-trivial question about their environments, getting answers can have a big cognitive overhead to get a clear answer. In this episode, I interview Tyson Kunovsky, Co-Founder and CEO at AutoCloud, creators of the open source project Cloud Graph.  CloudGraph is a free and open source GraphQL API for AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.  CloudGraph provides a much more intuitive graphQL based interface to ask questions about your infrastructure in context of the relationships between components.
