On the last The New Stack Analysts of the year, the gang got together — remotely, obviously — to reflect on this year. And oh what a year! But for a year in tech, 2020 still had a lot of hits — and some misses. Publisher Alex Williams was joined by Libby Clark, Joab Jackson, Bruce Gain, Steven Vaughan-Nichols, and Jennifer Riggins. We looked back on the year that saw millions die, no one fly, and a lot of jobs in turmoil. It was also a year that, while many things screeched to a halt, much of the tech industry had to keep going more than ever.

For this week's episode of The New Stack Context podcast, we ask Levine about the excitement around WebAssembly, its use in the Envoy proxy, and Solo.io's new proposal for packaging WASM modules in the Open Container Initiative format. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosts this episode, with the help of TNS senior editor Richard MacManus, and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson. Although WebAssembly was created for bringing advanced programming to the browser, Solo.io's founder/CEO Idit Levine has been a vocal proponent of using the portable fast open source runtime to extend service meshes — citing Solo.io's own work in offering tools and services to support commercial service mesh operations. In fact, WASM, as its also known, could be used to bring extensibility across a wide variety of cloud native projects, she argues.

A few years back, Kubernetes was in full development and many of its basic concepts were still evolving, so security was not a huge priority. But as K8s deployments have moved into production, more attention is being focused in securing Kubernetes and its workloads. Gadi Naor has been following Kubernetes security from the start. Alcide, the company Naor founded and now serves as CTO, offers an end-to-end Kubernetes security platform. For this week's episode of The New Stack Context podcast, we speak with Naor about a variety of Kubernetes security-related topics. Last week, Naor hosted a Kubernetes security Webinar for the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, which in addition to offering many helpful hints, discussed in detail the spate of recent vulnerabilities found in Kubernetes. And for The New Stack, he wrote about the problem about configuration drift in Kubernetes, and why it can't be solved simply through continuous integration tools. TNS Editorial and Marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside TNS Senior Editor Richard MacManus, and TNS Managing Editor Joab Jackson.

Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with Denise Gosnell, chief data officer at Datastax, who is a co-author of the O'Reilly book “A Practitioner's Guide to Graph Data.” She also graciously wrote a post for us explaining why graph databases are gaining traction in the enterprise. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside TNS senior editor Richard MacManus, and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson. Graph database systems differ from the standard relational (SQL) kind in that they are engineered to more easily capture the relations across different entities. “When you're looking at your databases, graph databases allow you to model your data more efficiently by using relationships,” Gosnell said. You could capture that relationship information through a series of database joins of separate tables, but eventually, the complexity of this approach would make it prohibitive. “When you look at the full end-to-end complexity for using it in an application or maintaining your code, or updating edges, graph databases are going to make that a lot easier for the full lifecycle and maintenance of that application,” she said.

Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with Chris DiBona, director of open source at Google, about Google's launch of the Open Usage Commons, an independent company to help open source projects better manage their trademarks. In a blog post, DiBona notes that trademarks sit at the juncture of the rule-of-law and the philosophy of open source. So for this episode, we wanted to find out more about how they interact and how Google is attempting to improve the management of trademarks in an open source way. We also wanted to address the rumors that this organization was created to manage Google's Istio open source service mesh in lieu of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (DiBona's answer: no). TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside TNS senior editor Richard MacManus, and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson.

This week in TNS, D2IQ co-founder Tobi Knaup wrote about the growing problem of container sprawl, a by product of more companies running containers in production, and as a result, there is a loss of efficiency on the part of the DevOps teams managing them. https://thenewstack.io/container-sprawl-is-the-new-vm-sprawl/ In this episode, we will speak with Ben Hindman, D2IQ co-founder, and CTO, about this issue of container sprawl, and how it hampers “Day 2 Operations” as D2IQ (formerly Mesosphere) calls it. We also will discuss the company's recent Cloud Native Virtual Summit, its recently released KUDO tool https://thenewstack.io/kudo-automates-kubernetes-operators/ , the 6th Anniversary of Kubernetes, and the latest on Mesosphere and the DCOS. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside TNS Senior Editor Richard MacManus, and TNS Managing Editor Joab Jackson.

John welcomes guests from The New Stack – Alex Williams, founder and editor in chief, and Libby Clark, editorial and marketing director – to discuss their perspectives on DevOps trends and greater digital landscape on our latest podcast. We'll explore: The essence of DevOps What the outlook in the next year is How IT functions like a nervous system Why Alex knows so much about thread count Why Libby sees a connection between science writing and DevOps writing The New Stack provides a model for how to run a publication with a high degree of journalistic integrity and unique perspectives. And not just any type of journalism, but useful longitudinal analysis that is useful to decision-makers. "Monitoring has traditionally been about what has happened. Now we're moving into this age of observability. We're looking at what's happening at the moment.” Alex Williams, Editor-in-Chief, The New Stack As the conversation turns to what trends are emerging, Alex points to declarative infrastructure being a key influencer to how operations are changing. He states, “It's about reaching that desired state. It's not something you can do from point A to point B. You're really needing to iteratively do that.” He recognizes that Humio supports the iterative DevOps process by providing instant feedback and he references the insights provided by Humio's CEO Geeta Schmidt in our first podcast. Our guests next address the nature of the current tech landscape and the implications of digital transformation. They recognize the importance of technology and note that the most successful businesses have the most up-to-date technology in place before market conditions start exerting pressure. “The companies that modernized, the companies that are already distributed, they're already in the cloud, they're using Kubernetes – those companies have been able to scale rapidly to meet the demand that customers are placing on them. And the companies really falling behind were not modernized. They're now trying rapidly and desperately to do that.” Libby Clark, Editorial and Marketing Director, The New Stack Libby continues to explore not only the infrastructure side on the pandemic response, but also the customer side of the response. She sees operations teams emerging as a vital component that connects the two, ensuring people get connected with the goods and care they vitally need. “Lately we've been talking about operations as first-responders – the people who are on the front lines of maintaining our networks and making sure that our hospitals are up and running. The people that are maintaining those networks are in effect allowing us to be at home, and to shelter. Libby Clark, Editorial and Marketing Director, The New Stack The interview concludes with Libby and Alex sharing their outlook on what changes they expect to see in the next 12 months. Libby shares how she sees digital events continuing to take over for physical events, and having a positive influence on attendees. “We've seen really good things come from just a few tech events that were organized by the community – people sharing ideas connecting with partners and adapting together to make changes. If you try to do it in isolation, if you try to come up with the best solution – going back to open source – you can't keep up.” Libby Clark, Editorial and Marketing Director, The New Stack
Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with Christine Yen, CEO of Honeycomb.io, the observability platform vendor, about the company's pricing changes brought on by COVID-19 and more broadly how observability practices and tools are changing as more companies make the move to the cloud. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside TNS senior editor Richard MacManus, and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson. Honeycomb this week changed its pricing structure to reflect the cost realities for businesses and the long term effect of COVID-19. The company also recently released the results of a survey that shows half of the developers surveyed aren't using observability currently, but 75% plan to do so in the next two years. And in April the company released an open source collector for OpenTracing that allows teams to import telemetry data from open source projects into any observability platform, including their own but also their competitors. Yen said of the pricing changes: Our old pricing was, you bought a certain amount of storage and gigabytes and paid for a certain amount of data ingest, also in gigabytes, over a period of time. We felt like that was a little bit harder for people to map to their existing workflows, harder for them to predict. So we shifted to an events-per-month ingest model, one axis, one way to scale your usage.

Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with Peter Zaitsev, CEO of the open source database software and services company Percona,. This week, Percona held its own virtual 24 hour virtual conference, Percona Live Online, where open source, databases and cloud native computing were all discussed. So we grilled Zaitsev about how traditional SQL databases operate in a cloud native world, as well as about Percona's newly announced performance and optimization package for MongoDB. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside TNS senior editor Richard MacManus, and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson.

Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with Tina Nolte, vice president of product, for Kubernetes management service Spectro Cloud, about why we shouldn't think of containers/Kubernetes as just another form of virtualization. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside TNS managing editor Joab Jackson. Nolte recently wrote a popular post for us on why we shouldn't think of containers and Kubernetes as just another form of virtualization — that it opens up a whole new way to think about application development and deployment. So we wanted to find out more about this concept. “Kubernetes is really about that middle area between infrastructure and application. So the applications themselves are enabled to be differently architected because of that operational PaaS layer if you will,” she explained. “It's not just a lift-and-shift of old apps into new infrastructure.” Focusing too much on the infrastructure side of Kubernetes ultimately misses its true value, an insight Nolte gleaned, in part, from working for a well-regarded OpenStack-based start-up, Nebula, that ultimately shuttered.

Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with Sebastien Goasguen, co-founder and chief product officer, TriggerMesh, about how to build applications from serverless functions that span multiple clouds, using the company's software. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside founder and TNS publisher Alex Williams, TNS senior editor Richard MacManus, and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson. We spoke with Goasguen about the role that TriggerMesh plays for GitLab and enterprise customers. Last month, TriggerMesh released the Cloud Native Integration Platform as well as the AWS Event Sources for OpenShift, timing the release with the virtual Red Hat Summit. With the latter offering, TriggerMesh brings Amazon EventBridge-like functionality to the OpenShift ecosystem allowing developers to trigger functions across clouds and legacy data centers. TriggerMesh users can now link events from anywhere to Red Hat OpenShift workloads. “Serverless is not just function-as-a-service. It's not just functions. It's actually an integration problem. We call TriggerMesh a cloud-native integration platform: We compose cloud services together, glue them together thanks to an event-driven architecture,” Goasguen said. Then, later in the podcast, we discuss the top podcasts and news stories from the site, including an interview with agile expert Emily Webber on remote work, how serverless can help embed security into the development process, the idea of offering databases as a serverless service, and the importance of standards in serverless adoption.

Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with The New Stack correspondent Jennifer Riggins about all of the excellent reporting she and others on the TNS team have been doing recently on the effects that COVID-19 is having on the tech industry. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside founder and TNS publisher Alex Williams and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson. For this episode, we wanted to look not only discuss the changing patterns in network traffic that the global COVID-19 pandemic has wrought, due to factors such people staying at home and working from home, and the sudden acceleration of e-learning. As Riggins writes in a recent post: For a lot of tech and infrastructure teams, they not only are going through the stress of the collective trauma we're sharing in, but they are struggling to keep up with ever-scaling, extreme strains on their systems. Simply put, no one could have predicted this uptick. One big theme that kept popping up was “resiliency,” not only from an individual psychological perspective, as well from organizational and systems views as well. Here are some of the other posts we discussed: The Network Impact of the Global COVID-19 Pandemic: How has the worldwide pandemic stressed our networks? In multiple ways, according to this report from our London correspondent Mary Branscombe. Internet traffic is generally 25% to 30% higher than usual. You can also see the change in where people are connecting from; usage is up in residential areas but visibly down in downtown San Francisco, downtown San Jose and especially the Cupertino and Mountain View neighborhoods where Apple and Google have their campuses. U.S. Unemployment Surge Highlights Dire Need for COBOL Skills: One of the surprise stories coming from the global pandemic has been the dire need for COBOL developers. Who would have seen that one coming? New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is now asking for volunteers with COBOL skills. New Jersey's 40-year-old mainframe benefits system was besieged by a 1,600% increase in usage, as over 371,000 people have filed claims in the past month. Keep Your Endpoints Secure During the COVID-19 Pandemic: We are also seeing more reports of security breaches indirectly due to the spreading virus. In this contributed post from CalSoft's Sagar Nangare, he notes that People are scared and hungry for more information around events like COVID-19. In panic mode, they surf the internet, visit fake pages, and fall prey to phishing scams. Also, endpoints for remote access have increased due to remote working, increasing surface areas for cybercriminals to target. How Kubernetes Prepared 8×8 for a 50x Spike in Videoconferencing Usage: The New Stack spoke to 8×8, a cloud communications and video collaboration provider to learn how the company phased in remote-by-default, and how it is creating systems and team resiliency during a 50-fold increase in traffic over less than a month. One answer? Kubernetes. Chaos, Hugs and Interruptions: Dev Folks Work from Home with Kids: Working at home is nothing new to the cloud native computing community, which has always been about the distributing workloads. But adding children, who all of sudden were home full time as well when the schools closed, adds another stress to already frazzled IT pros. Here are some tips on getting by. SaltStack's CTO on Pandemics, the End of Empires and Software's Future: Here's an interview with Thomas S. Hatch, founder and Chief Technology Officer of SaltStack where he discusses how software engineers' lives have changed (or not), the folly of forcing workers to come to the office when they really do not need to and his observations of network infrastructure saturation in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with Derek Weeks, vice president at Sonatype, about the results of a new community survey the company just released on DevSecOps that provides some insights on how teams are incorporating automated security tools and how that shift affects company culture and developer happiness. Sonotype's Nexus open source governance platform helps more than 1,000 organizations and 10 million software developers simultaneously accelerate innovation and improve application security. This is the seventh year that Sonatype has done this DevSecOps report, and, according to the company, it's the longest running community survey on this topic. We discuss with Weeks how the practice of DevSecOps changed since the company started doing the survey, and the challenges organizations face in embedding security within their DevOps practices. We also ponder the reasons behind the puzzling finding that those companies with mature DevSecOps actually have more security breaches. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside founder and TNS publisher Alex Williams and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson.

We also ponder the reasons behind the puzzling finding that those companies with mature DevSecOps actually have more security breaches. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside founder and TNS publisher Alex Williams and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson.

For this week's episode, we spoke with a couple of folks from cloud workload protection platform provider Rezilion: CEO Liran Tancman, and Chief Marketing Officer Tal Klein. We discuss how current best practices in security are actually outdated and how they think companies should be approaching security practices in the age of DevOps. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside founder and TNS publisher Alex Williams and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson. Klein wrote a contributed article for TNS on “Why Vulnerability Management Needs a Patch,” where he argues that current best practices and tools around security patching, such as the CVSS system for rating vulnerabilities, are outdated, particularly for modern DevOps shops. As Klein says in the interview: When you've got vulnerabilities, it's very tough to figure out which ones to fix first, and the fact is that more and more vulnerabilities are discovered every year. So there's, there's a greater amount of things to patch and if you don't know which ones to patch first, you're never going to be able to address the full patching needs of your organization. And that's been a cat and mouse game for a long time. Then later in the show, we discuss some of our top podcasts and stories of the week. Our sister podcast, The New Stack Makers, posted an interview with DevRel trailblazer (and Coder-Twitter celeb) Cassidy Williams, on building software communities. COVID-19 continues to tear through the IT community, and so we look at the shifting network traffic patterns that have come about from the pandemic, as well as the additional babysitting duties that many IT professionals have to now mix into their daily work from home routines. Finally, we discuss The Eclipse Foundation's Theia code editor, which has been billed as “a true open source alternative to Visual Studio Code.”

Listen to ALL of our shows here: https://thenewstack.io/podcasts/ Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with Kelsey Hightower, a developer advocate at Google, and Ben Sigelman, CEO and co-founder of observability services provider LightStep, about whether or not teams should favor a monolith over a microservices approach when architecting cloud native applications. Hightower recently tweeted a prediction that “Monolithic applications will be back in style after people discover the drawbacks of distributed monolithic applications.” It was quite a surprise for those who have been advocating the for operational benefits of microservices. Why go back to a monolith? As Hightower explains in the podcast: “There are a lot of people who have never left a monolith. So there's really not anything to go back to. So it's really about the challenges of adopting a microservices architecture. From a design perspective, like very few companies talk about, here's how we designed our monolith.” Sigelman, on the other hand, maintained that microservices are necessary for rapid development, which, in turn, is necessary for sustaining a business. “It's not so much that you should use microservices, it's more like, if you don't innovate faster than your competitors, your company will eventually be erased, like, that's the actual problem. And in order to do that, you need to build a lot of differentiated technology,” he said. Microservices is the most logical approach for maintaining a large software team while still maintaining a competitive velocity of development. Later in the show, we discuss some of the top TNS podcasts and news posts of the week, including an interview with IBM's Lin Sun on the importance of the service mesh, as Sysdig's offer of a distributed, scalable Prometheus, a group of chief technology officers who want to help the U.S. government with the current COVID-19 pandemic, and the hidden vulnerabilities that come with open source security. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside founder and TNS publisher Alex Williams and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson.

Listen to more from The New Stack here: https://thenewstack.io/podcasts Welcome to The New Stack Context, a podcast where we discuss the latest news and perspectives in the world of cloud native computing. For this week's episode, we spoke with Liran Tal, a developer advocate at container security platform provider Snyk and a member of the Node.js security working group, about who should own security in the DevOps process — the security team or the development? TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside founder and TNS publisher Alex Williams and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson. Tal wrote an article for us recently, “‘DevSecOps Insights 2020': Who Really Owns Security in DevOps,”which summarized the results of a survey the company carried out covering security, development and operations. The post included a couple of surprising survey results, namely that only 14% of respondents reported that they test for known vulnerabilities in container images, and 38% of respondents don't integrate automated security scanning into their DevOps pipeline. As Tal writes in the post: When that many respondents agree security is a major concern when trying to deliver software quickly, it means we need to scale up security to enable fast delivery of security fixes. The key to doing that is developers, as they ultimately fix security issues in an application's source code. We also get Tal's views on incorporating security into the a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), the need for development speed, as well as his thoughts on the recent purchase of npm by GitHub. Then, later in the show, we discuss some of the top podcasts and news stories from the site. An episode of The New Stack Analysts podcast provides fodder for discussing service mesh adoption. Also on the agenda: Frustrations mount over Python 3 migrations; Project Calico offers a faster data plane with the help of eBPF; and an excellent side-by-side comparison offered by StackRox's Karen Bruner of the managed Kubernetes offerings from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

This week we spoke with Ryan Staatz, head of DevOps at LogDNA, about running stateful services on Kubernetes, as part of our series of posts and podcasts on the challenges of running Kubernetes in 2020. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, alongside founder and publisher Alex Williams and TNS Managing Editor Joab Jackson. Each month on The New Stack, we pick ta heme to devote a certain amount of coverage, issues that we hear are important to our readers. This month, we looked at one of the ongoing challenges for Kubernetes around how to run stateful applications. As Staatz explains in his post on the subject, “A Blueprint for Running Stateful Services on Kubernetes,” “State” refers to the condition that an application is in at a particular point in time. A stateful application changes its behavior based on previous transactions; in other words, it maintains a memory of the past. Examples of stateful applications include databases, caches, and content management systems (CMS) such as WordPress. With stateful applications, the application must have a location where it can store its state as data. This data needs to be available to the application throughout its lifespan. In a basic single-server, single-instance application, this could be as easy as storing data directly on the host filesystem. We chat with Staatz about his preferred approaches to running stateful applications on Kubernetes, as well as how LogDNA supports these architectures with its own logging service. Then, later in the show, we discuss some other recenet posts on the topic: Analyst Janakiram MSV in his post, “Different Approaches for Building Stateful Kubernetes Applications,” reveals that there are a number of different ways to provide stateful support to K8s. A Q&A with Saad Ali, the chair of the Kubernetes Storage Special Interest Group at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, discusses the work already done to make run stateful workloads easier, as well as the challenges that remain and what to look for in the future. We also give a listen to The New Stack Makers podcast with InfluxData's Chris Churilo, who offers some perspective on why organizations increasingly rely on time series databases to “make products or services better.”

This week, we chat with Yvonne Wassenaar, CEO at Puppet, about the announcement that Goldman Sachs will no longer go public with companies that have no female or under-represented minority board members. Late last week Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon announced that the investment firm would not underwrite IPOs by companies that have no diversity on their board of directors, and that the policy would specifically focus on women. This could be an important turning point for our industry, as it may bring about a change in how tech companies are run and advised in the future. The announcement came just after California passed a law that fines companies $100,000 for going public with all-male boards. Wassenaar draws from her experience not only as a member of the Puppet board, but also as director for a number of other boards, including Forrester Research, Anaplan, and Harvey Mudd College. We asked her about what role the new laws will play in the policies that companies and investors are taking going forward. We also asked about the challenges of increasing the diversity in large corporations. Then, later in the episode, we discuss some of the top podcasts and news posts on the site, including a discussion with Zeit founder Guillermo Rauch about distributed systems, a new serverless integration provider called TriggerMesh, SaltStack's plan to help developers minimize the amount of YAML they need to write, and why IBM turned to Humio to scale up its ELK deployments. Libby Clark, editorial and marketing director at TNS, hosted this episode, along with TNS Publisher Alex Williams and TNS Managing Editor Joab Jackson.

My how KubeCon (now “KubeCon+CloudNativeCon”) has grown! We remember four years ago, when the conference was held in the second floor of a Seattle hotel, you could take a tour of all the booths within a few minutes. This year, more than 12,000 attendees packed the San Diego Convention Center, dozens of vendor booths span three gigantic rooms. You needed a map just to find one you were looking for. A good number of the companies we met with back in 2016 have grown into full-fledged businesses. And thanks to a sponsorship of Portworx, we were able to dispatch a team of crack reporters to capture many of the product updates that debuted at the show. On this week's episode of The New Stack Context podcast, we discuss some of these stories as well as the event itself. In this episode, we are joined by Alex Williams, founder and editor-and-chief of The New Stack, as well as TNS correspondent Emily Ormier and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson. TNS editorial and marketing director Libby Clark served as host. Among the topics we touched upon included the emerging issue of integrating Kubernetes into the enterprise, the ongoing challenge of securing containers, and whether or not the service mesh is ready for production use. We also share our personal highlights from the event, discussing the conference's free daycare for children (thumbs up!) and Kelsey Hightower's bittersweet farewell keynote.

This week, we come live from the the Monitorama conference, held this week in Portland, where we spoke with Liz Fong Jones, developer advocate at observability service provider Honeycomb.io and Quintessence Anx, developer advocate, at troubleshooting firm Logz.io. Then later we discuss some of the other news items and podcasts from the week. With Jones and Anx, we discussed the culture of burnout in the IT industry and how companies can better consider the humans who design and run their systems. We also discussed our takeaways from the conference itself. Then later in the show, show host Libby Clark, editorial and marketing director at The New Stack, discusses the top news from the site with Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack, and Joab Jackson, TNS managing editor. We discuss the update to Honeycomb.io's observability platform, and Palo Alto Networks intended purchase of container security provider Twistlock and serverless security provider PureSec. Oh, also we discuss Pivotal's new Spring-based OpenJDK distribution, and alarming new research on "deepfake" videos.
Service meshes have emerged as essential tools in managing deployments on containers and microservices. Indeed, one would be hard pressed to find DevOps teams that have successfully deployed on Kubernetes without the observability and management capabilities they offer give the immense complexity involved in such a project. The key role service meshes play in the cloud native world also accounts for why they were a major topic discussed during KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Barcelona and how Envoy, Istio, Linkerd, Aspen Mesh and other projects will continue to serve as open source alternatives. Indeed, the announcements at KubeCon about Microsoft's Service Mesh Interface (SMI) specification and how Solo.io has created what it calls “the first reference implementations” for SMI were arguably the most important newsworthy developments during the conference. Solo.io's founder and CEO Idit Levine was also on hand to put service meshes into perspective as one of the panel guests during The New Stack pancake breakfast in this podcast about services meshes held during the first of the Barcelona conference. Hosted by Alex Williams, founder and editor in chief, and co-hosted by Libby Clark, editorial director, of The New Stack, the other guests on hand included, in addition to Levine: Cliff Grossner, executive director research and technology fellow, IHS Markit; Pere Monclus, vice president and CTO, networking and security, VMware; Florian Dudouet, product owner and cloud engineer, Swisscom; Lee Calcote, founder, Layer5, and author of “The Enterprise Path to Service Mesh Architectures.” Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2v9zvBR7Ds
This week on The New Stack Context podcast, recorded live from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2019, we're talking all about monitoring and observability. Our guests are Kresten Krab Thorup, chief technology officer for Humio and Colin Fernandes, director of product marketing at Sumo Logic, Sumo Logic is a machine data analytics company that has just announced an additional $110 million round of funding, making it worth over $1 billion. Humio is demonstrating the intake of 100 terabytes of data per day on only 25 nodes while delivering real-time observability of data. Both are on the cutting edge of understanding what intelligence we can gather from the operating conditions of our machines. We spoke with them about the trends they're seeing around data management and logging, both practices are seeing tremendous change, as end-users collect more and more data, while wanting to see analysis in real-time. We also talk about changes in cloud native monitoring and logging, including the recent consolidation of OpenTracing and OpenCensus into a single project, called Open Telemetry. In the second half of the show, we offer our top podcast and stories picks, including the move to free some proprietary Kubernetes extensions with a new project called KubeMove. We also discuss our recent @Scale podcast, which confronts the challenges that the newly-launched CD Foundation has in normalizing the vast set of cloud native tools for continuous delivery. The New Stack editorial and marketing director Libby Clark hosted this episode, with the help of TNS founder and publisher Alex Williams and TNS managing editor Joab Jackson.
On this week's episode of The New Stack Context podcast, we speak with Mark Brewer, CEO of Lightbend, as well as with Lawrence Hecht, research director and columnist at The New Stack, about the current state and future of data streaming technology. The New Stack recently partnered with our sponsor Lightbend to produce a survey on data streaming. Lightbend released the results of that survey last week and the report is titled “Streaming Data And The Future Tech Stack,” and it is all about how developers and software architects are using data streaming in their applications today. For the podcast, Brewer shares his top takeaways from the survey, and Hecht discusses how he analyzed the numbers and what his conclusions were. We also talked a bit about Lightbend's Akka message-driven runtime. We also discussed the top news of the week, including VMware's purchase of Bitnami, Intel's new special-purpose Linux hypervisor for cloud native workloads, and New Relic's platform for the future, New Relic One. Libby Clark, editorial and marketing director at The New Stack, hosted this episode, with the usual support from Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack, and Joab Jackson, TNS managing editor.
This week, we spoke with Oakland The New Stack correspondent TC Currie who attended LaunchDarkly's Trajectory conference in Oakland this week. Then later in the show our own Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack, and Joab Jackson, TNS managing editor, discussed the news coming out from Google Cloud Next in san Francisco this week. Libby Clark, editorial director at The New Stack, hosted the show. LaunchDarkly is a feature management platform that provides feature flagging for CI/CD pipelines. Back in February, Currie interviewed LaunchDarkly's CEO and co-founder Edith Harbaugh on our Makers podcast as one of this year's winners of the Cloud-Now's "Top Women in Cloud" award. Then in the second half of the show, we talk about the Google Next conference. The show has been generating a lot of energy and coverage from our cloud services correspondent Mary Branscombe. We spoke about Google's Anthos hybrid cloud platform which came out of beta this week, and its new partnership with seven leading open source projects it will begin offering as fully managed services.
This week on Context we talk with Tom Wilkie, VP of product, at Grafana Labs, which just announced a new open source log aggregation tool for Kubernetes called Loki. Unlike other log aggregation tools, instead of indexing the full text of the logs, Loki indexes only the metadata and follows the same service discovery technology as Prometheus. "A lot of systems don't have that metadata and they're really powerful for finding content in the logs, but finding where those logs came from and when they were generated, maybe what host and what version of the software, that's really where we've put the focus. The same as you can with Prometheus," Wilkie said. Loki has already grabbed the community's attention, appearing at no. 1 on Hacker News the day after it was annnounced and receiving more than 2,000 stars on GitHub. In this podcast, Wilkie talks with Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief, and Libby Clark, editorial director at The New Stack, from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Seattle. "We think this is super powerful because it's going to be much easier, much more cost effective to run, much easier to operate than Elastic clusters." Wilkie said. Later in the show, we give our takeaways from KubeCon and CloudNativeCon. The New Stack livestreamed our podcasts from the show, held numerous pancake breakfasts and published a lot of news.
It would have been difficult to predict the magnitude of open source's role in today's platforms and the explosion of choice on offer in today's computing world thanks to its massive adoption. On the industry side, IBM's purchase of Linux giant Red Hat this year for an astounding $34 billion has come as an even bigger surprise. The state of open source in 2018, and especially, the IBM's Red Hat purchase, were discussed during a podcast with Rachel Stephens, an analyst with of RedMonk, and Michael Coté, director, marketing, at Pivotal Software, hosted by Libby Clark, editorial director, and Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief, of The New Stack. Indeed, 2018 is even being touted at the “year of open source” in many circles, Stephens said. “The mega acquisitions and just tends to really validate open-source as the method of building in the future and as a viable approach for building your stack. And I think, at the same time, we contrast that with some kind of clouds on the horizon in terms of the growing tension between an ability to run an open source business in the face of cloud providers.”
