Hi, Spring fans! In this installment I talk to the Tanzu legend Chris Sterling, who works on making Spring an even more valuable part of a platform. (This episode was recorded live at the [epic SpringOne](https://springone.io) 2024 event!)
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.

Welcome to episode 251 of The Cloud Pod podcast – where the forecast is always cloudy! This week we're looking at the potential end of low impact code thanks to generative AI, how and why Kubernetes is still hanging on, and Cloudflare's new defensive AI project. Plus we take on the death of Project Titan in our aftershow. Titles we almost went with this week: The Cloud Pod is Magic Why is the Cloud Pod Not on the Board of the Director for OpenAI The Cloud Pod wants Gen AI Money The Cloud Pod Thinks Magic Networks Are Less Fun Than Magic Mushrooms The Cloud Pod is Mission Critical so Give Us Your Money and Sponsor Us A big thanks to this week's sponsor: We're sponsorless this week! Interested in sponsoring us and having access to a specialized and targeted market? We'd love to talk to you. Send us an email or hit us up on our Slack Channel. Follow-Up 00:50 Kubernetes Predictions Were Wrong — Redux Last week Ryan and Justin talked about why Kubernetes hasn't disappeared into the background during our after show, and now with Matt and Jonathan here I wanted to see if they had any additional thoughts. If you missed this two weeks ago, it’s probably because you don't know that there are regular after shows after the final bumper of the show… typically about non-cloud things or things that generally interest our hosts. There is one today about the death of the Apple Car. To summarize the conversation, ChatGPT has provided us with a sort of CliffsNotes version. Ryan and Justin speculated on the reasons why Kubernetes (K8) persisted despite predictions of its decline: Global Pandemic Impact: They acknowledged the global pandemic that unfolded since 2020 and considered its potential influence on Kubernetes. The pandemic might have shifted priorities and accelerated digital transformation efforts, leading to increased reliance on Kubernetes for managing cloud-native applications and infrastructure. Organizations might have intensified their focus on scalable and resilient technologies like Kubernetes to adapt to remote work environments and changing market dynamics. Unforeseen Complexity: Despite expectations for a simpler alternative to emerge, Kubernetes has grown more complex over time. The ecosystem around Kubernetes has expanded significantly, with various platforms, services, and tools built on top of it. This complexity may have made it challenging for organizations to migrate away from Kubernetes, as they have heavily invested in its ecosystem and expertise. Critical Role in Scalability: Kubernetes remains a fundamental technology for platform engineering teams seeking to achieve scalability and standardization in their operations. Creating a standardized, opinionated path for Kubernetes within organizations enables them to streamline deployment processes, manage resources efficiently, and support the growing demands of modern applications. This critical role in scaling infrastructure and applications might have contributed to Kubernetes’ enduring relevance. Absence of Clear Alternatives: Despite predictions, no single service or platform has emerged as a clear, universally adopted alternative to Kubernetes. While other solutions exist, such as Tanzu, OpenShift, and others mentioned, none have achieved the same level of adoption or provided a compelling reason for orga

#241: On today's episode, we go in depth with one of our friends, Whitney Lee. You may know her from her Enlightening series on Tanzu.TV or maybe from the You Choose videos she does with Viktor. But did you know just over 4 years ago, she was a server in a vegetarian restaurant and since that time she's spoken five times at KubeCon conferences - 2 of which were keynotes?

For various reasons, the reliance on CFML query objects means that large amounts of CSV require large amounts of memory.https://blog.simplicityweb.co.uk/138/reading-large-csv-files-with-cfml 11/15/23 - Blog - Brian Reilly - Critical Variable Mass Assignment Vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion (CVE-2023-44350)Adobe ColdFusion is vulnerable to a Mass Assignment vulnerability that can result in an attacker being able to modify the value of any variable in any scope within the context of remote CFC methods. A mass assignment vulnerability occurs when application code allows a user to set or modify arbitrary objects or values without verifying that the user is authorized to do so. Modifying values related to authorization checks, security controls, or other important functions may permit a malicious user to access sensitive data or perform other unexpected actions. Mass assignment vulnerabilities are not unique to ColdFusion and have affected other languages including ASP.NET, PHP, and Ruby on Rails. https://www.hoyahaxa.com/2023/11/critical-variable-mass-assignment.html 11/15/23 - Tweet - Brad Wood - I found a CommandBox Cheat SheetCame across this cool CommandBox cheat sheet by @djgarcia76 today:https://cheatography.com/garciadev/cheat-sheets/commandbox/ #ColdFusion #CFML #CLIhttps://x.com/bdw429s/status/1724863039281807808?s=20 11/13/23 - Blog - Nolan Erck - ColdFusion Summit 2023 RecapA few weeks ago was the annual ColdFusion Summit in Las Vegas.

LogBox allows you to create multiple destinations for your loggings and even configure multiple destinations or change them at runtime.Almost every application needs logging and/or tracing capabilities, and we have developed LogBox to satisfy these needs. Although you should not over-use logging as it can slow down an application, LogBox allows you to filter out or cancel logging noise.Great integrations available on ForgeBox like Sentry etchttps://logbox.ortusbooks.com/https://www.forgebox.io/view/logbox VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the Week11/23/23 Docker - v1.28.0Lots of updates since we last covered this extension in 2019!!!!The Docker extension makes it easy to build, manage, and deploy containerized applications from Visual Studio Code. It also provides one-click debugging of Node.js, Python, and .NET inside a container. You can get IntelliSense when editing your Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files, with completions and syntax help for common commands. Docker Compose lets you define and run multi-container applications with Docker. Our Compose Language Service in the Docker extension gives you IntelliSense and tab completions when authoring docker-compose.yml files. Press Ctrl+Space to see a list of valid Compose directives. The Docker extension contributes a Docker Explorer view to VS Code. The Docker Explorer lets you examine and manage Docker assets: containers, images, volumes, networks, and container registries. If the Azure Account extension is installed, you can browse your Azure Container Registries as well. The right-click menu provides access to commonly used commands for each type of asset. You can run Docker commands to manage images, networks, volumes, image registries, and Docker Compose. In addition, the Docker: Prune System command will remove stopped containers, dangling images, and unused networks and volumes. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-docker Thank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox, ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

VMware just can't stop talking about GenAI, which incorporates many different developments. The company is adding AI assistants to many products and is also introducing a new VMware Private AI offering with enabling generative AI processing on NVIDIA or open-source platforms for enterprise deployment. VMware is talking about security and data privacy while at the same time touting the performance and price benefits of on-premises GPUs. What is this all about? VMware NSX is even more exciting now! NSX+ is the new as-a-service offering focusing specifically on application visibility, network detection and response, and HCX+ Workload Mobility. The goal of the service is provide functionality that modern enterprises at a monthly cost for OpEx budgeting purposes. The other big piece of the NSX announcements is NSX VPC, which is modeled of the virtual private cloud (VPC) networking capabilities in public clouds.

What is VMware Tanzu? I get asked this question a lot and, you know, I try to explain it. If you want a really good explanation, you should check out a new book on the topic, DevSecOps in Practice with VMware Tanzu. It's expansive and in-depth, not only on the parts of Tanzu, but also the theory, ideas, and ways of working that Tanzu embodies. Cora Iberkleid joins me (Coté) to interview the authors of the book, Parth Pandit and Rob Hardt. Here's the book from Packt, in O'Reilly Safari, and in Amazon. Here's a longer description of the book from the publisher: As Kubernetes (or K8s) becomes more prolific, managing large clusters at scale in a multi-cloud environment becomes more challenging – especially from a developer productivity and operational efficiency point of view. DevSecOps in Practice with VMware Tanzu addresses these challenges by automating the delivery of containerized workloads and controlling multi-cloud Kubernetes operations using Tanzu tools. This comprehensive guide begins with an overview of the VMWare Tanzu platform and discusses its tools for building useful and secure applications using the App Accelerator, Build Service, Catalog service, and API portal. Next, you'll delve into running those applications efficiently at scale with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid and Tanzu Application Platform. As you advance, you'll find out how to manage these applications, and control, observe, and connect them using Tanzu Mission Control, Tanzu Observability, and Tanzu Service Mesh. Finally, you'll explore the architecture, capabilities, features, installation, configuration, implementation, and benefits of these services with the help of examples. By the end of this VMware book, you'll have gained a thorough understanding of the VMWare Tanzu platform and be able to efficiently articulate and solve real-world business problems. What you will learn Build apps to run as containers using predefined templates Generate secure container images from application source code Build secure open source backend services container images Deploy and manage a Kubernetes-based private container registry Manage a multi-cloud deployable Kubernetes platform Define a secure path to production for Kubernetes-based applications Streamline multi-cloud Kubernetes operations and observability Connect containerized apps securely using service mesh Who this book is for This book is for cloud platform engineers and DevOps engineers who want to learn about the operations of tools under the VMware Tanzu umbrella. The book also serves as a useful reference for application developers and solutions architects as well as IT leaders who want to understand how business and security outcomes can be achieved using the tools covered in this book. Prior knowledge of containers and Kubernetes will help you get the most out of this book.

You! Yes, you! Running vSphere 6.5 or 6.7? We understand, you're busy! For many, many reasons, you couldn't get around to upgrading your systems to 7.0 when VMware deprecated support for 6.7 and 6.5 on October 15th, 2022. So now you're at a cross roads. vSphere 8 is out, but fairly new, and comes with its own set of new hardware requirements. Assuming your existing hardware meets them, do you upgrade to vSphere 7 or vSphere 8? If instead you get new hosts, should you run ESXi 7 or 8 on them? And what if you're already running vSphere 7? Should you upgrade to 8? It's a been a little while, but your favorite, most empathetic, most wise and most entertaining IT therapists are back in the office to look at all things vSphere 8. In this episode of Data Center Therapy, your intrepid hosts Matt ‘Pi before Pi was cool' Yette and Matt ‘Distributed Everything Si-fu' Cozzolino teach you with their technology equivalents of the martial art of Wing Chun on what's new with vSphere 8. In this episode, you, our treasured watchers (DCT is now on YouTube!) and our listeners, will get to learn about: How mature ESXi 7.0 is, when it came out, and how relatively rare PSODs are now What some of the implications of the new hardware requirements are for ESXi 8, and how boot media and types have changed since ESXi 7 appeared What new concepts and hardware support exists in ESXi 8, what Distributed Processing Units (DPUs) do and how AI/ML and hardware consumption models are managed inside vCenter What changes have taken place in the Lifecycle Manager of vCenter to make things easier to update and upgrade (both on the ESXi front, as well as the firmware of the systems ESXi is deployed on!) How regions and availability zone concepts, once solely in cloud hosting providers, has trickled down into the vSphere command-and-control paradigms as well as Tanzu's current state of integration As the Matts state in this episode, it's not too late to join “Professor” Cozzolino in his Introduction to vSphere 8 class March 21st through 24th, and his Advanced vSphere 8 class April 18th through 21st. If you need to know “how” to operate your systems, the Intro class is likely the best choice for you. If you'd like to know the “why” of best practices in vSphere, then the Advanced class is the best choice for you. To get registered ASAP, talk to your IVOXY Account Manager and we'll be happy to assist right away. As always, be sure to like, share and subscribe wherever you found this episode of Data Center Therapy. If you need assistance planning or executing your own organization's vSphere upgrades, please reach out to your IVOXY Account Manager. In the meantime, stay up to date, stay supported, stay stable and optimized (as we like our ESXi hosts to be), and stay informed, DCT friends! Talk to you on our next fresh episode!
You've been asked to build a cloud native cloud platform. The developers need some containers, probably some orchestration. So, what do you now? In this episode, Coté talks with ITQ's Robert Kloosterhuis about just this topic. Drawing on Robert's background as a virtualization admin and now, the Tanzu portfolio of stuff, they go through the type of thinking and work ITQ does with customers. Also, some tips on getting around Amsterdam for the people coming in for KubeCon EU. Check out the live recording in video form, if you prefer that kind of thing.

My guest today is Ian Andrews (https://twitter.com/IanAndrewsDC), Chief Marketing Officer at Chainalysis (https://twitter.com/chainalysis). As CMO of Chainalysis he is helping scale the company to enable governments and financial organizations to safely adopt cryptocurrency. He is also the host of the Public Key podcast, where he sits down with thought leaders in the space to discuss:▪Emerging risks and opportunities in blockchain technology▪How policymakers around the world are approaching cryptoregulations▪Data-driven insights into the latest trends in crypto economics and crime.▪Breaking news in the crypto marketPrevious to Chainalysis, he ran marketing at Tanzu, the modern apps portfolio at VMware. Before that he was CMO at Pivotal from launch in 2013 to IPO in 2018 to acquisition by VMware in 2019 for $2.7 Billion. Ian is one of my most accomplished guests, and more importantly communicates so clearly the current state of the Web3 ecosystem and where we need to go to move it forward. We Discuss...Ian's first role in tech in 2000 as the dotcom bubble burstWhy Ian thinks we are all in marketing (hint: life is about driving narratives)Why Crypto/Web3 must evolve to be a combination of the original vision and its practical use casesTracers in the Dark, Andy Greenberg - https://www.amazon.com/Tracers-Dark-Global-Crime-Cryptocurrency/dp/0385548095We are entering an era of what blockchain technology can DO, not what it ISTo get there requires dual-face (redundancy of onchain and offchain activity)The reality of incrementalism in technology, about 50% of compute is still not run on cloudPublic Opinion of Criminal Activity in Web3 vs RealityThe Reality of Autonomy and Personal Agency - Usability and Convenience WinsThat doesn't mean companies get to only worry about UX hereWeb3 is as much about making better use of our identity as it is about ownershipThe regulatory environment and why we need to embrace it, not fight itThanks for listening!

In this episode, we discuss the use of accelerators in the Tanzu Application Platform to help developers start programming quickly and efficiently. We also touch on some of the developer-focused announcements made at the recent AWS re:Invent conference. Finally, we have a discussion about ChatGPT experiments and their potential to reduce the amount of tedious work for office workers. Ben expresses some concerns about the technology, but Coté offers a compelling argument for its usefulness.† Be sure to check out Ben's new talk about Backstage in the Tanzu Application Platform GUI including: Accelerators (code templates), secure software supply chain visualization, API documentation, and more! If you prefer video, here is the original recording, it has some bonus monster truck material: Links discussed in the show: We talk about Ben's recent video on templates (“accelerators”) in the Tanzu Application Platform. Also, we discuss the supply chain demo he does in that same video. AWS Re:Invent news. Another 2 hr keynote with plenty of new services, many on the data side of things, plus the usual new EC2 instances. We talk about CodeCatalyst and AppComposer. Check out last week's Software Defined Talk overview for more. ChatGPT - an AI powered bot that's been in my timeline a few times this week. From the same people that provide Dall-E, AI assisted drawing from natural language. SpectroCloud gave it a Kubernetes focused interview and it did pretty well. This feels like Boston Dynamics showcasing their robot inventions, in that it simultaneously amazes the public at large and scares them in equal measure. Unfortunately it doesn't respond to ‘Shall we play a game?' (for those that remember War Games and WOPR) - that would have been a cool Easter egg! See Coté's experiments and take on it too. † This week's description written by ChatGPT with the prompt: “Can you write a podcast episode summary for me? We talked about some developer tools that help start programming (called accelerators) in our own product (the Tanzu Application Platform), then about a few developer things at AWS re:Invent. And then Coté talked a long time about ChatGPT experiments and his theory about how it can help reduce office worker toil. Ben was a bit scared.”
There was a lot going on at VMware Explore Europe last week, so we focus in on the Tanzu related stuff. Then: we do our usual check-in on platform engineering; a brief magic quadrant tour; see if there's any lessons to learn from Twitter the company; and close out discussing VMware's recent open source supply chain survey. VMware Explore EU: Cindy's round-up. Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 2.1 - including support for Oracle Cloud. Tanzu Mission Control - getting air gap stuff working (not out yet?). Tanzu Service Mesh Advanced - roadmap announcements about: auto-discovering kubernetes and VM things; integrating with TAP to do security policy stuff; adding in running config stuff out of git (for, you know, GitOps). Aria Graph, GA (previewed/announced in US): "Today at VMware Explore Europe, VMware is announcing the availability of a new freemium offering of VMware Aria Hub powered by VMware Aria Graph. This new free tier offering enables customers to inventory, map, filter, and search resources from up to two of their native public cloud accounts in either Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure." More stuff: Bitnami updates, sovereign cloud stuff (working with partners to stand-up Tanzu in regional clouds). Hear Ben's talk from Explore EU - “Tutorial: Introduction to VMware Tanzu Application Platform Big Backstage Feels: RedHat joins. Coté's interview with The Frontside. Our always good Gartner paper on internal developer platforms, free to read. Also, more hammering away at "platform engineering." The CNCF's Platforms Working Group are trying to define what a platform would include - details here. We're past the "DevOps is Dead" phase, which is nice. I think we can say "Developer Experience" without feeling dorky too. Even "DX." New public cloud MQ, for IaaS+PaaS. Rank (first to last): AWS, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, Oracle, IBM, Tencent, Huawei. Transforming Twitter: Finally, an example of the "pathological" column in the Westerum table. Clearly Elon's not a fan of Microservice Architectures - some weird monolith/microservices/de-platform stuff to observe. In the context of the DevOps/cloud native community - planning for a potential loss of the place to talk. Mastodon growing: Coté in Mastodon: @cote@hachyderm.io. Interesting thoughts from David Heinemeier on the layoffs State Of Supply Chain Survey Devs go faster and are more productive with supply chains New tools: Tanzu Image Builder - for packaging your OSS for enterprise use (amongst other things) Coté did a little video on the study. Check out that Sam Elliott 'stach!
We check-in on "platform engineering," and ponder the theory that it's "DevOps for kubernetes." Also, Coté gives his theory on the rise of platform engineering. In the news section, we cover some of the announcements from Google Next and Microsoft Ignite. Before we start: VMware Explore EU is about a week away. There's lots of Tanzu-land talks there, including this one with Coté and Mercedes going over their seven years of platform engineering, from back when it was called "platform as a product." Also, if you're not registered already, check out the great developers, operations, and management talks at SpringOne. It's December 6th to 8th in San Francisco and will be a great event. As Ben mentions, there'll be a lot of great Spring Framework talk. When you register, use the code COTE200 to get $200 off. As always, your hosts are: @egrigson, @benbravo73, & @cote. News and Links We'll cover KubeCon US next week (hopefully!). In the meantime, check out what our VMware pals are doing there. VMware State of Software Supply Chain: Open Source survey. Platform Engineering checkin: Coté declares it "DevOps4k8s." We have that Gartner paper about internal developer platforms that the platform engineering crew talks about here, for free: "Innovation Insight for Internal Developer Portals." Platform Engineering Watch: there's a platform engineering working group at CNCF. Our platform as a product white paper. Google Cloud Next announcements, all 123. Microsoft Ignite: Azure Deployment Environments. Service Mesh survey (of KubeCon attendees?) shows that security is the top reason to use it, followed by monitoring/observability. Perhaps Service Mesh will, indeed, be primarily about security - or maybe that's just the concern now, since it's top of the list for kubernetes, usually - table stakes type of stuff for future desires. Unmentioned, but fun: Forest Brazeal deserves a callout for his "Re-org Rag"!
