7 Core Elements of an Internal Developer Platform - The reinvention of PaaS continues // The Eternal Recurrence of DevOps. To be fair, this time there’s tighter integration with CI/CD and ops doing some territory grabbing into SDLC.
The Care and Feeding of Internal Developer Platforms - Five benefits of monitoring and managing internal developer platforms are noted: improved system performance, cost reduction, scalability, enhanced security, and improved feedback loops. Achieving these benefits entails securing deployment environments, establishing system baselines, setting up alerting rules, monitoring application performance, and automating processes.
Avoid cloud lock-in with Kubernetes, findings from the 2023 VMware State of Kubernetes Survey
76% of respondents in our State of Kubernetes 2023 survey say they use multiple clouds - they’re multi-cloud. I look at the driving forces behind multi-cloud adoption, most notably the desire to avoid vendor lock-in.
For more insights into multi-cloud strategies, Kubernetes benefits, and the challenges being tackled by your peers, check out the VMware State of Kubernetes 2023 survey.

How to find an are.na RSS feed
I like are.na - it’s fun, and not icky. Having to pay a little bit to post more than 200 items has a great filtering effect on the content.

Monoliths, Microservervices and Mainframes – Reflections on Amazon Prime Video’s Monolith Move - “The supposed development time difference between the two methods is not based on the technology itself, but the context in which you’re deploying it. The argument made by the table is tendentious. It’s based on comparing the worst case for ‘traditional’ application development (months of work) with the best case for ‘rapid development’ (hours of work). Similar arguments can be made for all the table’s comparisons."

Mid-day, when I have time.
Another webinar in the can: my analysis of our 2023 State of Kubernetes survey. I positioned it as input and guidance into doing your own Kubernetes stuff. My theory on Kubernetes is that everyone wants to do it - “it’s the future” - but very few apps are running in production. Gartner estimates that ‘by 2027, 25 percent of all enterprise applications will run in containers, an increase from fewer than 10 percent in 2021.
