Sponsored Keynote: Down with Container Silos. All Hail the Unified Approach: Bringing Together Containers, Apps, and Functions - Andrew Assauw, Technical Specialists Leader, IBM Cloud and Cognitive, ANZ

Cloud-native developers today have to decide between 3 separate container platforms. Some choose the flexibility of containers with Kubernetes, others the velocity of an opinionated platform like CloudFoundry and some believe the future is all about serverless functions. How do you know which ones to use? And should you have to pick? In this keynote, Andrew Assauw will share his vision for the marriage of containers, apps, and functions -- driven by Kubernetes, Istio and the emergence of Knative into a single combined container platform. It’s time to break down the silos and see how these projects’ paths are converging to solve real microservice dilemmas: security, scale, and operations.

It's great to be here and thanks for having us it's a in-building cloud applications we that the developer community is just confronted with a myriad of of complexities in building cloud native applications and there's it's not only that they've got a very separate set of deployment models that they've had to contend with.

A

It can the we're trying to unify the approaches of containers, application runtimes, and could you scroll that a little bit please.

A

Thanks all right and and so as a developer, you really have three approaches that you can go for I'd like to give you a bit of a view of how the industry's transitioned a bit to allow for the for the unification of those three approaches. So as a developer, you're, really looking at how you can take either functions, containers or application runtimes. So there are three ways of doing those generally open to developers. You can go for containers on on kubernetes. You can go for a very opinionated platform like cloud foundry.

A

If you need to move with velocity or you can be looking at. Individual clouds functions like service, and these are continually evolving, but we're looking at how? If you look at the tool, the tooling, behind a lot of these, these approaches they're very complex you're, going to have your minds, blown I, think over the next couple of days as to what the options are to how you can start to support and manage and deploy the containers, the functions and the the application runtimes.

A

So the industry is converging on various technologies to support each of these deployment options. For example, K native is becoming a leading enabler for cloud functions and Cloud. Foundry is now based on kubernetes, so we've had a lot of changes there and we as a as a founding member of the CNC f.I IBM, is certainly at the forefront of a lot of these innovations and a lot of investments being made there, but to sort of take it as a help illustrate the issues that we're talking about here.

A

I guess I'd like to try and make you know before the analogy police get here, I'll like it it something that some of us can identify with, and that is well alcohol right. So we many of us have our poison and we might kick the type of beverage that we want to consume in a manner that we want, depending on the circumstances so like cocktails cocktails cocktails like an application that need to be designed and the ingredients need to be mixed and to enjoy the total experience for the way you want it.

A

A function is like a shot, a shots very specific. It might be very good at what it does, but it's very specific and an application. Runtime is more like a mixer, where it's very I suppose level in what it produces and very consistent in that outcome. But then there's also the environments that you might consume them in. You may, like you, 40-year old, scotch and or you you, you, your heritage, red wine, and you might like to consume that by yourself.

A

I'm, not revealing anything here, but you might like to sit at home and enjoy that that experience and in the security and the privacy of your own home. That could be like the private cloud all right. But you may also like to go out. You might like to go out and mix and you might like to have that experience of of mingling, but also obtaining your alcohol from bar.

A

Is that, like the public cloud?

A

Who do you trust or you may like the experience of going to a Bao restaurant, taking your drink, knowing what you've got but then combining it with the experience of the restaurant and what they have to offer? And that's a bit more like a hybrid model.

A

So what we're taking here is that experience of containers and functions and applications and looking at how they run across these varying models of cloud, private, hybrid and public and the glue in all this is kuva news. That's why we're here and we I can't think of another open source technology. That's had such impact in such a little amount of time. That's overtaking pretty much everything around it and become so prominent, and next to that, we've also seen some advances in functionality like service mesh and service catalogs.

A

That STO has provided and other technologies around that, like envoi, but what about apps and functions absent functions? If you look at applications, yes, you've got Cloud Foundry and what we're trying to see now is Cloud Foundry itself, it's running in kubernetes.

A

If I look at the functions, there are so many technologies out there for cloud functions. Things like open risk, pretty much. Every cloud provider has its view and version of cloud functions, but it's pretty fragmented and how they go about that and there's a lot of open source technologies and how they get can deliver cloud functions as well.

A

So the glue in this is Kay native, Kay native provides the building blocks that allows cloud functions to run in kubernetes and with that, what have is a unifying layer that allows the different models and approaches of development to be combined and integrated into a common platform that can be used for the next generation of applications.

A

So the the model that we're looking to is to standardize on kubernetes for orchestration to utilize, a service master technology like SEO for managing the micro services. You can build an opinionated platform like cloud foundry based on kubernetes and then finally, leverage Kay native for service technology, and by doing that that will provide a unification of those different approaches. So as a developer, if you have that choice or you're confronted with that need to choose a door to combine the various development and deployment approaches, you have a consistent model for the tooling behind it.

A

So I'd encourage you to visit the IBM booth here to talk to our team about those technologies and I hope you have a really good conference. So thanks for the opportunity.
