In an era marked by complexity, the golden path is essential for software architects, asserts James Watters, senior director of R&D at VMware Tanzu, Broadcom. This approach, emphasizing fewer application patterns, simplifies life for security personnel, developers, and infrastructure teams. VMware defines the golden path as streamlining software development, crucial in today's economic climate. Watters highlights this in the Broadcom report: State of Cloud Native App Platforms 2024, noting that 55% of organizations favor this method for its consistency and security. Watters, a pioneer in platform as a service since 2009, helped establish Cloud Foundry and now drives VMware Tanzu. Tanzu's golden operations offer standardized, consistent processes across platforms, crucial for efficiency and security. Watters advocates for minimal DIY in favor of operational consistency, providing commands for building, deploying, and scaling applications. Tanzu's focus is on integrating AI to enhance user interfaces and data access, impacting platform engineering significantly in the coming years. This integration aims to offer a better developer experience while maintaining security and efficiency. Learn more from The New Stack about golden paths: Golden Paths Start with a Shift Left Platform Engineering Not Working Out?

Fast forward to 2021: As these adoptions are maturing, there has been a shift of focus towards Day 2 challenges and, more importantly, security. Security, as we all know, is no longer an afterthought in the cloud-native world and has moved into the developer's pipeline with the Shift Left movement. In this episode of Let's Talk, we invited James Watters, Chief Technology Officer at VMware's Modern Application Platforms Business Unit, to talk about various aspects of security in the cloud-native world.

James Watters is currently the CTO of Modern Application Platforms at VMware, but he has truly done it all. Whether it was working with large corporate companies or helping startups establish themselves in the private sector, James has been there. On this episode of IT Visionaries, James sits down to discuss some of the things he’s learned along the way, including why he believes it’s imperative for research and development teams to work side-by-side with clients, what forced some of the changes we see in enterprise applications today and how these unprecedented times will shape technology moving forward. Key Takeaways The Connection between research and development and working with clients is imperative, especially when it comes to shaping the end-user experience The evolution of the cloud forced enterprises to alter their applications to a more simplified and streamlined approach. One of the most important things moving forward will be figuring out how to give a 100% digital customer experience --- IT Visionaries is brought to you by the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform - the #1 cloud platform for digital transformation of every experience.

James Watters, SVP, Products at Pivotal Software, is a veteran of the unix and open source software business. With a broad breadth of products, including Java Spring and many other essential tools for developers, Pivotal has built a business of enormous scale in record time. Intro Michael Schwartz: Hello, and welcome to Open Source Underdogs....

James Watters is the Senior Vice President, Strategy of Pivotal. In this episode of Let's Talk, Waters talks about his thesis on Kuberntes in Enterprise.

Don't blame us for the ever so slightly sensationalist title this week, blame Moneyweek who covered this recently (thanks to James Watters for the heads-up on this one).  Rather dramatically Moneyweek say: “Like a vast pyramid scheme, the UK housing market has been defying the reality of low wage growth and productivity, worsening affordability"  and.. “When a rocket runs out of fuel it continues to rise before plunging earthwards. This is where we seem to be now." Goodness!  Listen in full to get Rob & Rob's take on this one - do you think the Moneyweek argument could be flawed at all? Surely not?!  Resource of the week The Great Suspender (yes, we love the name too) is a Chrome add-on which automatically suspends unused tabs to free up system resources.

Here's what we know about open source: Developers are the new buyers. Community matters. And there will never be another Red Hat (i.e., a successful “open core” business model … nor do we necessarily think there should be). Yet open source is real, and it's here to stay. So how then do companies build a viable business model on top of open source? And not only make money, but become a huge business, like the IBMs, Microsofts, Oracles, and SAPs of the world? The answer, argues James Watters, has more to do with good software strategy and smart enterprise sales/procurement tactics (including design and a service-like experience) than with open source per se — from riding a huge trend or architectural shift, to being less transactional and more an extension of your customer's team. Watters, who is the SVP of Product at Pivotal (part of VMWare and therefore also Dell-EMC), is a veteran of monetizing open source — from OpenSolaris (at Sun Microsystems) to Springsource (acquired by VMWare) to Pivotal Cloud Foundry — with plenty of failures, and successes, along the way. He shares those lessons learned in this episode of the a16z Podcast with Sonal Chokshi and general partner Martin Casado (who was co-founder and CTO of Nicira, later part of VMWare before joining Andreessen Horowitz). These lessons matter, especially as open source has become more of a requirement — and how large enterprises bet on big new trends.

Cloud Foundry is one of the oldest and most mature open-source PaaS frameworks out there, and a lot has changed since last time you saw it. For example, Diego is a small Go scheduler that can use Docker independently of installing all of Cloud Foundry to get started. Listen to this week's episode to get a better sense of all that has changed since last time you checked out Cloud Foundry with head of product, James Watters.

Brian talks with James Watters (Director, Ecosystem & BizDev) from VMware Cloud Foundry about the evolution of the ecosystem, community participation and overall PaaS adoption.

Positive mentorship experiences can be a critical part of professional development. Warren Bennis, a pioneer of leadership studies, advised those concerned about advancing their careers to “make sure you have someone in your life from whom you can get reflective feedback.” RIT faculty and staff members from various levels and backgrounds shared their experiences with professional development, their stories about what worked for them and how they got to where they are today. While their career paths, fields of expertise and perspectives were all unique, a common thread is that most of them credited their mentors with much of their success. Featuring Dr. Sandy Johnson, Dr. James Watters, Danny Maffia, Dr. Gerry Buckley, Dr. Lynn Wild and Dr. Sophia Maggelakis
