EBay Replaces native OpenStack Container Manager with Kubernetes-based one

• Still OpenStack though
• Link
  • "It elected to roll its own Kubernetes-based solution for container management in OpenStack rather than try to improve Magnum."
  • ¯_(ツ)_/¯
  • "It's not clear if Tess.io can or will be released as open source" - what's the point of open sourcing something if a vendor isn't going to make it more accessible for consumption? Do they really expect anyone else to use something built for Ebay by Ebay and find use? Rip out Magnum in OpenStack and toss it in there? I'm always skeptical about adoption when I hear about non-software companies open sourcing a big project. -Matt
    • There can only be one Netflix.
    • A software company that just happens to be an auction company.
      

What's the deal with OSS now?

• Companies open sourcing software for the sake of open sourcing it...but not for a revenue reason.
• Is open source about tactically creating standards?

Pivotal can deploy k8 with BOSH, thus manage it and such

Oracle Eyeing Accenture

• From The Register
• Everybody wants to be IBM Global Services
• Coté'd tl;dr: financial aside (which I don't know), probably makes sense. While we might bemoan EDS and GBS downsizing, there's endless money in the "solution" sales (tech + meatware). And - I'm sure the deal decks are saying - with SaaS penetration at 20-30%, there's a shit-ton of churn in IT in the next 10-20 years, all requiring services. Most importantly, the G2000 and governments will want to hire "trusted" brands, like Accenture, to help them. On the other hand, maybe that goofy Accenture touch screen in ORD will now be a way to touch-screen up Oracle wares: God help us.
• HP EDS, IBM GBS, Dell Services (Perot), etc.
• "Accenture has a market cap of $77.5bn, and shareholders will expect a premium offer."
• HPE Services and CSC, it's a thing.

Chef Survey 2017 Results

• Analysis, Infographic
• Reads really well if you imagine bullet points as spinning newspaper headlines:
  • "Workloads are increasing faster than headcount"
• More:
  • "61% are automating infrastructure, 30% are automating compliance, and only 27% are automating container management."
  • "Of those users, 73% wait to assess compliance after development work has begun and new features have been implemented. 59% assess compliance once code is already running in production, possibly resulting in additional rework as change is re-architected to meet Information Security standards."
    • On the one hand, this is a bummer.
    • On the other hand: "hey, you 59% lot: you call yourself auditors?"

Whether that be on the development side or operations side depends on the subject matter. But my "hope" is that every meetup produces some positive outcome. Whether that being a person choosing to present has a feedback loop outside of their bias coworkers or just having general feedback.

Recent Coté Nonsense

• “Largile”
• Recent DevOps books review.

Red Hat wants to make Kubernetes boring (and successful)

• They’ve certainly made OpenStack boring (zing!)
• “Not that Red Hat is calling Kubernetes "boring." Instead, they're calling it "Enterprise-Ready," which is basically the same thing.”
• I dig that Matt Asay style. Dude knows how to pick a quick topic.

The End of General Purpose Computing

• More precisely, as the title says “The End of the General Purpose Operating System“
• “What we're witnessing in the market is the development of vertically integrated stacks”
• “In all of these cases the operating system is an implementation detail of the higher level software. It's not intended to be directly managed, or at least managed to the same degree as the general purpose OS you're running today.”

Apple Drops AirPort Routers

• I’ve got 3 of them, pretty solid.
• We don’t talk about Apple much here. Possible topic: what’s up with Apple now-a-days?

Trump vs. Tech

• “Now we will have a president whose affinity for high-tech seems limited to Twitter bullying”
• Interesting when you think that the heads of Google, Microsoft, Apple and probably Amazon (Bezos owns Washington Post) are all at odds with Trump. Facebook is trying to not piss anyone off. Not sure if we want to talk about it, so maybe it’s just a show note.
