In this episode we speak to Joseph Jacks, founder and general partner at OSS Capital, a venture fund specializing in open source software. We discuss why open source is such an important differentiator for all software development, the philosophy behind open source, open core, and building a community around open source software, whether open source should be the default for all software.About Joseph JacksJoseph Jacks is founder and general partner at OSS Capital, a fund that invests in Open Source projects. Previously, he was co-founder and VP of Technology Strategy of Kismatic which provided services for running Kubernetes at scale for enterprises. It was one of the top 0.01% of projects on GitHub and was acquired by Apprenda in May 2016.Jacks also founded the KubeAcademy, the parent organization of the official Kubernetes community conference KubeCon, and was the co-Founder and CEO of Aljabr which builds cloud-native data pipelines.Other things mentioned:OSS capitalGitHubSourceForgeSignalRichard StallmanSatoshi NakamotoLinus TorvaldsGitHubGitLabRed HatRodeSony A600Let us know what you think on Twitter:https://twitter.com/consoledotdevhttps://twitter.com/davidmyttonhttps://twitter.com/josephjacks_Or by email: hello@console.devAbout ConsoleConsole is the place developers go to find the best tools.

After some rumination, Coté thins that the people backing “serverless” are just wangling to make it mean “doing programming with containers on clouds.” That is, just programming. At some point, it meant an event based system hosted in public clouds (AWS Lamda). Also, we discuss Cisco buying Duo, potential EBITA problems from Broadcom buying CA, and robot pizza. Of course, with Coté having just moved to Amsterdam, there’s some Amsterdam talk. Sponsored by Datadog This episode is sponsored by Datadog and this week they Datadog wants you to know about Watchdog. Watchdog automatically detects performance problems in your applications without any manual setup or configuration. By continuously examining application performance data, it identifies anomalies, like a sudden spike in hit rate, that could otherwise have remained invisible. Once an anomaly is detected, Watchdog provides you with all the relevant information you need to get to the root cause faster, such as stack traces, error messages, and related issues from the same timeframe.

Related, Istio 1.0 (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/07/31/istio_sets_sail_as_red_hat_renovates_openshift_container_ship/): “It is aiming to be a control plane, similar to the Kubernetes control plane, for configuring a series of proxy servers that get injected between application components. It will actually look at HTTP response codes and if an app component starts throwing more than a number of 500 errors, it can redirect the traffic.” MUST BE THIS HIGH TO RIDE (https://k1k1chan.com/post/590832918/do-not-want)!

Momentum in the Kubernetes community has been growing really quickly. Give us the update on the event. Who are some of the companies that will be speaking about their experiences with Kubernetes? Topic 2 - We first met about a year and a half ago, before Kismatic (your previous company) went public. Back then it was lots of Kubernetes POCs, but now it seems like more and more Kubernetes in production. How are you seeing the market evolve and what’s driving it? Topic 3 - Companies have a lot of choices about how to manage containers these days - Kubernetes, Swarm, Mesos, DIY approaches, etc. What are you hearing about why companies are choosing Kubernetes? Topic 4 - No architecture is without faults or issues. What challenges do you still see for Kubernetes adopters, or the top priorities for the Kubernetes community? Topic 5 - Where are you seeing opportunities to interact with the Kubernetes community (for ISVs, Cloud Providers, Emerging Technology areas, etc.)? Feedback?

Cost Cutting Perks in Silicon Valley More from the snack-track files (http://www.businessinsider.com/cost-cutting-at-dropbox-and-silicon-valley-startups-2016-5). Employees at Kabam, the online-gaming startup worth $1 billion, recently felt like there was a decrease in the number of office snack stands. Although the company denies it, some believe the snack stands are now placed more sporadically in order to reduce the employees' frequency of snack consumption by making it a little harder to get to them. No Uber in Austin Brandon sets us straight on the details. Coté defends the uber-haters. Will Containers Replace Hypervisors, Almost Certainly Yes TL;DR; is the title :) (https://cloudscaling.com/blog/cloud-computing/will-containers-replace-hypervisors-almost-certainly/) Randy Bias, the "pets vs. cattle" godfather, makes a strong case for hypervisors being on the way out. Once all the legacy apps are re-written to be in containers (cloud native) or decom'ed (you know, in the future (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmzpdd4pWvM&feature=youtu.be&t=1m19s)), and we don't want to run multiple OSes (so don't need the driver handling that hypervisors give us)...no need for hypervisors. QED. Cloud chief Diane Greene on how Google can beat Amazon and Microsoft A brief interview (http://siliconangle.com/blog/2016/05/06/cloud-chief-diane-greene-on-how-google-can-beat-amazon-and-microsoft/) "Q: How will Google differentiate against AWS and Microsoft? A: Only 5 percent of workloads are in the public cloud. Effectively you're riding another company's innovation curve for free. We've open-sourced a lot of technologies like Kubernetes and TensorFlow. As we add more features, we'll be able to share a lot more strengths with applications." - can OSS be used to attack on-premises cloud? Not in my tater salad (https://twitter.com/Oak2278/status/537436262097907713)! BONUS LINKS! Apprenda buys Kismatic "Apprenda will also take the lead in building out Windows support for Kubernetes, which has been Linux focused," said Sinclair Schuller (http://fortune.com/2016/05/19/apprenda-buys-kismatic/), chief executive of Apprenda. Do you even pop-up, bro? (https://apprenda.com/blog/apprenda-acquires-kismatic/) Apprenda pivoted towards Kubernetes recently, Kismatic was building "Enterprise friendly" Kubernetes "Per Incident" pricing (https://apprenda.com/kubernetes-support/) is really hard to scale.

People say that marketing for "cloud services" are really over the top right now - selling a lot more promise than can be delivered. If that's true, social media is somewhere out in the stratosphere of hype - pushed into orbit by leaders like Twitter and Facebook - I've heard many people say if they were trying to avoid reading yet another article on the wonders of connecting to "communities" on the web.I'm looking forward to this conversation because social media is still a widely misunderstood subject among SaaS and Cloud Service providers. Many see everything social as an unnecessary and noisy "distraction" that is a waste of resources and time. I understand their point of view because if they come from traditional software marketing, support, and sales environment, they are part of a legacy that rarely focused on end-users or tried to foster communications among them. And if you've ever tried to sip from the Twitter fire hose, you can probably understand their discomfort with jumping on the band wagon.If that's the case for you - I hope you'll set your prejudice aside and listen to our podcast this month on Haut Tech Conversations on December 30th at 10am Central. We're going to be talking with Jonathan Hyland, the Client Relationship Director for iCIMS, a leading SaaS provider of "Talent Management Systems." Jonathan is deep in the trenches of the user community at iCIMS because he is responsible for managing the client renewal pipeline, user satisfaction, user advocacy, and maintaining visibility of the value proposition their services deliver.Joining Jonathan on our panel will be Jessie Kliza, the Business Development Director for Apprenda and Peter Cohen of SaaS Marketing Strategy Advisors, who also happens to be one of our fraternity of Haut Tech Irregulars.
