The Cloudcast #235 - Does Everyone Need Google's Infrastructure? Jan 07, 2016

Show notes

Brian talks with Alex Polvi (@polvi, Founder/CEO of @CoreOSLinux) about how startups measure innovation, the evolution of both Tectonic solution and CoreOS projects, the evolution of Kubernetes and how many companies are building digital presences (web/mobile).

Topic 1 - Let's start with product updates. It's been about six months since we talked with Redbeard (Brian Harrington) about CoreOS and security at OSCON. What's new with CoreOS (Tectonic, Kubernetes 1.0, Clair, etc.)
Topic 2 - Kubernetes get most of the attention, but let's talk about "Clair" since it aligns to CoreOS's goal of securing the Internet. What is it and how does it work?
Topic 3 - Tectonic was announced as GA in December. How has the shift from project/product based offerings to more solution-centric offerings changed your interaction with the market?
Topic 4 - As best I can tell, your customers seem to be digital-centric companies (Samsung, Jive Software, etc.) with customer-facing applications. Is that the ideal customer profile for where CoreOS is today?
Topic 5 - The other day you sent a tweet that mentioned how many releases that CoreOS had done in 2015. And I've seen about 6-10 more companies send a similar tweet. First time I've seen the release metric be the end-of-year measurement at a company level. Why is that happening now?
Topic 6 - What's the sentiment in Silicon Valley these days about startups? Interest rates moved up a little bit, many unicorns ($1B valuations) were created in 2014-2015. Are the investors saying anything to startups in early 2016 that's different than 2014 or 2015?

Aaron’s 2015 Predictions - From 2014 show

Container ecosystem is beginning to mature 
Docker needs to go through Trough of Disillusionment 
Skill Sets Changing - Blogging will become a lost art 
GitHub or “GetOut” - people need to learn GitHub - see 30 Days of Commitmas (GitHub learning) 
Existence of Bi-Modal IT - There is no migration path between the two. 
“Infrastructure as a Code” replaces “Software-Defined” terminology  Infrastructure jobs will become the operations portion of DevOps (automate everything)

Brian’s 2015 Predictions - From 2014 show

Containers, Containers, Containers - competition for Docker in containers (VMware, CoreOS, etc.)? Moved from Containers to Systems. 
Containers/Docker were mentioned everywhere (AWS, Tutum, Microsoft, DigitalOcean) 
VMware pushes that “containers need VMs” 
AWS is finally starting to understand the Enterprise; bundling/integrating services 
Nobody values Cloud Management software 
How do the VCs justify all this investment in companies that drive open-source projects? 
What happens to all the SaaS tools platforms on AWS, can they survive economically?

Brian’s 2016 Prediction Notes:

We’ll continue to see big bets (legacy vendors) and big failures
Very curious to watch the open-source VMware-replacements (Hashicorp, CoreOS, Docker, etc.) monetize their business 
We’ll begin to hear about some IoT success stories

Aaron’s 2016 Prediction Notes:
Industry Predictions: 

Docker Trough of Disillusionment will happen (push from last year) in favor of Open Standards 
We will consolidate down to a handful of large hardware and software vendors in one (Oracle, Cisco, Dell) and pr

The Cloudcast #233 - NATS - Cloud Native Infrastructure Dec 23, 2015

Show notes

Aaron and Brian talk with Larry McQueary - (@McQueary; Product Manager at Apcera for NATS.io Cloud Native Infrastructure) about messaging platforms for microservices and distributed applications, how they differ from Enterprise Service Bus and how IoT applications have new requirements on the backend systems.
Show Notes:
- How NATS, a REST Alternative, Provides Messaging for Distributed Systems
http://thenewstack.io/nats-rest-alternative-provides-messaging-distributed-systems/

Topic 1 - People know Apcera from previous shows and discussions about Platforms. NATS is part of Apcera's platform, but it's also an independent project. Help us understand how the two are connected and separate?
Topic 2 - Let's talk about the basics of NATS? What's the difference between a message-bus and an enterprise-service-bus (or caching layers)?
Topic 3 - What types of applications use NATS and what are some of the characteristics (or architecture) of NATS that make it so fast and scalable?
Topic 4- Everybody is talking about mobile and IoT these days. We know about phones and sensors, but what do the back-end systems look like and how does this interact with NATS?
Topic 5 - How would someone deploy NATS? It is something that is best in a private cloud environment because of the performance requirements, or could it also run in multi-tenant, shared public cloud environments?

Topic 1 - You have a super interesting background. You’ve gone from the techie world to the dark side. Tell us about your journey to where you are today. What’s it like to be the “old guys around Docker” having been here over 2 years.
Topic 2 - The big announcement today was on Docker Universal Control Plane. It would appear with Trusted Registry Docker has created a place to store containers and then with Universal Control Plane a place to run containers. Is this a correct assessment? How do you see the next 12 months playing out for Docker customers? How does Tutum fit into this?
Topic 3 - What are the challenges you hear about most today as you work on technical alliances? Are you the one that got Ben on every stage at every keynote last year?

How To Detect, Map and Monitor Docker Containers with Weave Scope from Weaveworks

Topic 1 - Alexis, give us some background on yourself (RabbitMQ) as well as Weaveworks.
Topic 2 - What is your view of the Docker ecosystem today?
Topic 3 - Tell us about the state of networking in Docker today. This space is evolving quickly and has become a very hot market. What problems are you trying to solve that differentiates you from the others including SocketPlane (which has been absorbed into Docker). Isn’t the whole idea behind Weave is how to maintain your application and it’s networking without doing “unnatural acts” to get containers and networking to work together. How do the Weave products fit into this? Give us the decoder ring… (more than Weave Net)
Topic 4 - How do CoreOS or Kubernetes figure into all of this?
