The benefits of truly doing agile and XP are well proven at this point. Supported by a platform like Pivotal Cloud Foundry, you can expect to start improving how you do software. That said, cloud native development is a new style of doing software, from pair programming, to following 12 factor coding practices, and breaking apart software into independent services. It helps to get some training on this shift, which is what the Platform Acceleration Lab at Pivotal does. In this episode, we talk with Michael Barinek about that team, how it operates, and a little bit about the training they do. As always, we discuss some infrastructure software related news and explore some options for keeping warm.
