Quickly off to this excellently titled presentation from VMware’s Massimo Re Ferre’ who’s an Open Source PM. Massimo is one of the voices of reason in the industry with excellent perspective on the reality of global IT. He had an awesome t-shirt saying BADaaS!
He went through the transition from traditional application development and why applications are being re-architected to allow faster development time. DevOps being the enabler for this.
He explained how the infrastructure requirements are being encoded in Infrastructure as Code with the developer also being responsible for running it in production. Monitoring, scaling, scheduling, placement are now becoming operational issues that developers need to take into account.
Massimo then went through the definition for cloud native applications, talking about pets vs. cattle.
He went through the containers vs/and VMs debate and did say you need to switch your bias/politic filter to to go through the discussions or spend a weekend watching twitter.
He dissected Docker != Containers with an explanation of what Docker does as the engine which provides a mechanism to instantiate the code in a container shipped as a Docker image, the code being written in a Dockerfile.
