Why aren’t all images super-secure, or hardned?
Here’s what I learned: container base images grew up as a developer convenience tool, not a security artifact. Installing extra packages from the command line is one of the first things any Docker tutorial teaches–Docker’s own Dockerfile guide includes apt-get install–and many of the most popular official images ship a full toolchain by default, with…

Virtual machines still run the world
The above is from a recent IDC white paper. Container use is growing. Even then, VMs still run everything. Most of those containers run in VMs: IDC forecasts that 85% of containers will run in VMs in 2028.

The platform that needs a platform
How big is the Kubernetes market? Here’s an estimate from a recent IDC PDF: The rapid growth of cloud-native applications, driven by DevOps, containers, and microservices, has made container orchestration a critical capability because containers are challenging to manage at scale without an orchestration layer. This trend is driving significant market growth, with IDC forecasting…

Run your AI stuff in locked down containers and AIs
Good piece on enterprise AI security. The good news, it’s all the same shit. The bad news news, it’s all the same shit. Yes, and: That’s it! The magic sauce is that LLMs are amazingly good at taking this big chunk of text and using their vast training data to produce the most appropriate next…

OK Cloud, On-Prem is Alright – A case for private cloud, or, if you prefer the “a nicely automated VM or container environment” view: on-premises. I’d summarize it to: there isn’t enough ROI to motivate everyone to change, even spend the time to decide to change.

Don’t freak out too much about Kubernetes and security, it’s just like any new technology that’s early in usage
… Here’s a little interview I did with Torsten Volk at EMA research. We talked about security concerns with Kubernetes. He’s done a great, very thorough look at Kubernetes usage and the state of things. You can get it for free thanks to my work. Not enough failure yet to be perfect As ever with…

The more kubernetes you use, the more frequently you release software
Notes on the CNCF 2022 survey: the more kubernetes an organization uses, the more frequently it ships. Plus why this survey represents the CNCF community more than everyone.

🗂 Link: Waity K8-y no more Pivotal: We’ll unhook Application Service from VMware
“The urgency was more around understanding the long term vision than an immediate need,” said Andrews. “We’re still very early. Everybody is talking about K8s all the time, but if you look at who is actually using it in production, the list is much shorter. Our technology stack works incredibly well, we have customers with…

🗂 Link: VMware is bringing VMs and containers together, taking advantage of Heptio acquisition
“Kubernetes is a way of bringing a control metaphor to modern IT processes. You provide an expression of what you want to have happen, and then Kubernetes takes that and interprets it and drives the world into that desired state,” McLuckie explained. More from another article: The Tanzu portfolio also includes Project Galleon, which harnesses…

And at VMworld the vendor will showcase a technology preview of vCloud Director integration with Bitnami Community. VMware bought Bitnami in May. It provides application packaging targeted at container and Kubernetes environments. The Bitnami Community houses…
