cloud-native

Join host Wade Erickson as he engages in a compelling discussion with Kevin Fray, Field CTO of Mark43, a powerful public safety CAD, RMS, analytics, and property and evidence platform.

Together, they will explore the realm of cloud-native software, cutting-edge SaaS solutions, and the nuances of digital transformation in the public safety space.

Tune in to explore how these concepts align with software development and testing proficiency.

Helm sub-charts are like mini- charts residing inside a larger Helm chart. They are like different players in your favorite video game. They can be reused in different projects, similar to using a favorite weapon or skill in various game levels. They work well when the charts you want to deploy are used in combination with each other but are not directly dependent on each other's resources.

Initially, Hadoop integrated storage and compute, but the emergence of cloud computing led to a separation of these components. Object storage emerged as an alternative to HDFS but had limitations. To complement these limitations, JuiceFS, an open source distributed file system, offers cost-effective solutions for data-intensive scenarios like computation, analysis, and training. The decision to adopt storage-compute separation depends on factors like scalability, performance, cost, and compatibility.

Kong is a cloud-native API platform. The first iteration of an API marketplace Marco and his colleagues built was Mashape.

Developments like GraphQL and gRPC have become critical as the number of APIs increases over time.

Nearly all companies that have started in the last few years have been cloud-native from the very start. Someone who has experienced this is today’s guest Nate Lee. Nate is the Chief Information Security Officer for Tradeshift, a cloud-based business networking platform for supply chain payments, marketplaces, and applications. In this episode, Nate joins us to talk about the company’s journey, its success, and what he has learned here over the past seven years. Nate explains how Tradeshift’s vision is to digitize and connect everything that happens between a buyer and a seller anywhere in the world, and how being cloud-native from the start has supported this mission. We discuss how you can leverage automation and DevSecOps to scale on some very difficult items like ISO 27000 among other certifications. You will also hear how security has been the key differentiator that led to Tradeshift’s success, how the strategic focus of Tradeshift’s security program has shifted over time and the key metrics that Tradeshift tracks to maintain its certifications and compliance efforts.

“[The vision] is connecting every company in the world. You can't do that with a bunch of islands running in individual data centers. It was an easy choice to be cloud-native back then, as well as a smart choice in general for any company starting these days.” — @JustAnotherNate [0:08:56]

"In security and software development these days, if you're not constantly learning, you're falling behind just as quickly.” — @JustAnotherNate [0:32:48]

New episode but also the last of 2021 representing the 86th globally. What a year for The French Storage Podcast and also in the Storage Industry as a whole. This episode covers facts, news, trends I consider significant in 2021 and I added also at the end the very last information related to the 10th Storage Unicorn Report published a few days ago. You can always check Coldago.com for more information. Happy listening.

In this episode of Semaphore Uncut, we talk to Vuk Gojnic. Vuk is Squad Lead for container and cloud-native engine at Deutsche Telekom Technik. Vuk describes how his internal engineering team is bringing Cloud Native infrastructure to the 200,000 person telecom giant. We discuss a number of technical challenges. We also address the issue of measuring the success of an internal engineering team. And we discuss the difficulty of hiring and training cloud-native specialists. 

Key takeaways:

• Cloud-native in telcos - not straightforward
• Key principles for cluster management: declarative, immutable
• Leveraging existing IaaS using Cluster API
• Using Flux/GitOps Toolkit
• How to succeed with internal engineering
• Large scale, small team using GitOps
• Partnerships and education to access cloud-native talent
• The road ahead

In each episode of Semaphore Uncut, we invite software industry professionals to discuss the impact they are making and what excites them about the emerging technologies.

Migrating Java applications to the cloud

Java is a popular framework that’s been a foundation for many enterprise applications for over 20 years. But lately, those enterprises have run into trouble: moving their applications to the cloud. This migration promises more security, reliability, and easier scaling, but it can be daunting with an older framework like Java. The host, Robert Douglass of Platform.sh, asks,

“With all these older versions of applications floating around in this huge plethora of runtimes and variants, does that make it harder for organizations to “lift and shift”, or to adopt cloud native philosophies?” 

Speakers from Red Hat, the Eclipse Foundation, and Paerra address the Java toolbox that can help ease this transition.

Java toolbox for developers

• Jlink -- A command-line utility which helps modularize your application and makes it possible to build your own JVM 
• Graal.vm -- A compiler that helps existing Java applications run faster, provide extensibility with scripting languages, and create ahead-of-time or just-in-time compiled native images
• Transformer -- An Eclipse project that takes your application to the Jakarta EE namespace so you don’t have to recompile
• Jakarta EE -- The new name and face of Java EE, with all the same benefits: maturity, reliability, stability, and large community. Jakarta EE is a more enterprise-ready, cloud-ready, and microservice-ready version of Java.

What should hype up developers about working with Jakarta EE? Ivar Grimstad of the Eclipse Foundation says, “If you want to be future-proof and to be productive right away, you can write less code, less configuration, and less boilerplate to get up and running using Jakarta EE than any other framework.”

Make your life easier with Java tools

Launching Java-built applications to the cloud can be difficult, but developers can minimize bumps by putting tools like Jlink, Graal.vm, Transformer, and Jakarta EE to work. Robert Douglass sums it up: “Stability, backwards compatibility, safety, and boringness are the hallmarks of the Java ecosystem these days, and they are really attractive features when the very act of software development is so fraught with risk.”
