Enabling Platform Engineers to Overcome Kubernetes Complexity with a Modern Private Cloud Platform
Kubernetes won the orchestration argument and promptly became the problem, and the scarce skill is now hiding it rather than running it. With 93% of organisations on an internal developer platform or heading there inside a year, the case made is that one operating model spanning VMs and containers is the least painful place to…

The Evolution to Platform Engineering 2.0

In the early days, platform engineering focused heavily on developer experience, often treating the underlying infrastructure as a utility that was managed separately. That is no longer sufficient. To succeed in the AI era, platform teams must have deep…

Quit VMware and you’ll emerge with more complex and less capable infrastructure
One is that few organizations will be able to quit VMware entirely, as they run applications with dependencies that aren’t easy or economical to unwind. Reducing or eliminating a VMware rig therefore means adopting multiple replacements, which creates more infrastructure to manage and therefore extra complexity. 🔗 Quit VMware and you’ll emerge with more complex…

Use yours secrets to get generative AI ROI
From an article by my colleagues and me: For generative AI (GenAI) apps to deliver real business value, they need access to your company’s proprietary data.
