Has everyone gone kubernetes crazy? It seems like most buyers and sellers at least want it as an option and are, if you prefer the word, capitulating to supporting it. In past weeks most all vendors - even Oracle! - have announced support and road-maps for using Google’s container orchestrator in their cloud-native stacks. Also, Chef and Puppet have new suites of tools, Docker sets its sites clearly on reducing VMware costs, and there’s some new momentum stats on the Cloud Foundry ecosystem.
“enterprises now account for more than 40% of Cloud Foundry’s membership”
“Kubernetes too is seeing plenty of tyre kicking, but nowhere near the level of enterprise commitment [to Cloud Foundry] at this point.”
“54% of Cloud Foundry target Amazon Web Services as a platform, that 40% of users are targeting VMware vSphere certainly [i]s” - I assume this is across all distros and OSS, which makes sense. In Pivotal land, it’s mostly on on-premises VMware, last I checked.
“The data indicates that functional languages are better than procedural languages; it suggests that disallowing implicit type conversion is better than allowing it; that static typing is better than dynamic; and that managed memory usage is better than unmanaged. Further, that the defect proneness of languages in general is not associated with software domains.”
But it costs me $7 to get there, giving me a one time payment of net $8, and, hopefully, just $1 a year after that? (Never mind opex vs. capex GAAP-crap.)
So, then: after 4+ years I’ll start saving money? (with VMware, I would have paid $2/yr., so $8 total, and with Docker over that four year period I pay $8 first year, $1 next three years, so $11 total - hrmm..where’s Excel when you need it?)
Follow-up from 2011: so, Docker really is about replacing VMware…?
Overall, this interview with Docker’s CEO is good stuff for industry watchers. It didn’t occur to Coté that the former CEO of Concur would know, like, every single CFO and CEO at G2000 companies.
Matt Ray: Baby Driver, the movie. The forbidden backpack: Echo Rucksack.
Coté: Workflow app - I thought Apple had shut this down after acquiring it, but I guess not. Pro-tip, leave your fruit on the plane when you enter the US; unlike ANZ, there’s no big bins to throw away your stuff and you end up going to a dumb line where they take your fruit and put it in a trash can for you.
