Simpler, Please Kubernetes : Everyone (well, almost everyone) is using Kubernetes to orchestrate large applications that are running in the cloud. That’s no doubt true; prior to its release as an open source project, Kubernetes was Google’s Borg, the almost legendary software that ran their core applications. We haven’t seen it.

I did a few talks on this subject early in the year, and linked this to the sustainability advantages of serverless architectures. The need for systems to be resilient is still increasing, and chaos engineering tools and techniques are developing as a key way to validate that resilience is working as designed.

There might have been one or two integrations with data or transaction services that resided elsewhere, but for the most part, we could validate user journeys with procedural test scripts, and have software testers run regressions and UAT cycles for any features that changed. Distracted by distributed, dynamic architectures.

But unlike Watson, I can tell you where those quantum computers will be: they will live in the cloud. The total market might end up being a few dozen—but because of the cloud, that will be all we need.

As cloud environments become increasingly complex, legacy solutions can’t keep up with modern demands. As a result, companies run into the cloud complexity wall – also known as the cloud observability wall – as they struggle to manage modern applications and gain multicloud observability with outdated tools.

Modernizing an architecture usually take years. Even a decade or more is nothing out of the ordinary for large organizations who have accumulated legacy and heritage systems over long periods of time. As a result, there can be pressure to begin modernizing a part of the system that will have a clear business impact.

When organizations focus on data privacy by design, they build security considerations into cloud systems upfront rather than as a bolt-on consideration. Organizations need greater transparency and visibility into core multi- and hybrid cloud environments to combat these challenges.

Distributed tracing is a method of observing requests as they propagate through distributed cloud environments. As legacy monolithic applications give way to more nimble and portable services, the tools once used to monitor their performance are unable to serve the complex cloud-native architectures that now host them.

Another hurdle to decision making is when technology leaders feel that the skills needed to deliver big changes don’t exist within the organization like the lack of DDD, architecture, or cloud skills. Choosing where to focus is a balancing act: delivering new products, fixing legacy software, and improving engineering culture.
