Innovate @Open

I was able to grab Google's Kelsey Hightower for a few minutes on the CloudNativeCon show floor. We talked about the extensibility that has helped to make Kubernetes successful, the value of abstractions like CRI-O, and showing people how to behave in communities.

In this podcast, Chef Software's Marc Holmes talks about the global shift from automating infrastructure to automating applications, establishing a foundation for chaos engineering, and shifting security left.

In this podcast, Frederick discusses Prometheus including the goals of the project, a focus on simplicity, the distinction between metrics and logging, what's new in 2.0, and what's coming.

For many people, Eclipse may not be the first open source organization that pops to mind when thinking about Internet-of-Things (IoT) projects. But, in fact, Eclipse hosts 28 projects that touch on a wide range of needs for organizations doing IoT projects. In September, I was attending the Eclipse IoT day and RedMonk's ThingMonk conference in London and had a chance to sit down with Ian Skerrett. Ian heads marketing for Eclipse and we spoke about Eclipse's IoT projects and how Eclipse thinks about IoT more broadly.

Mark Wagner is a performance engineer at Red Hat. He heads the Hyperledger Performance and Scalability Working Group. In this podcast, he discusses how he approaches distributed ledger performance and what we should expect to see as this technology evolves.

EasiER AG used Red Hat's Open Innovation Labs to create a new category of healthcare product to improve the emergency room experience. Open Innovation Labs can help a team understand the open source approach to development, agile workflows, and how these combine with open source tools to define a DevOps strategy.

Bjorn Rabenstein of SoundCloud sat down with me at CloudNativeCon in Berlin to discuss Prometheus, the first project to be brought into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation after Kubernetes. In this podcast, we get into the background behind Prometheus, why new monitoring tools are needed for cloud-native, and when you should wake people up with an alert--and when you shouldn't.

In this podcast Miek Gieben provides us with some context about DNS and explains how today's more dynamic environments aren't always a good match with traditional approaches to DNS. Miek takes us through how CoreDNS came to be and discusses some possible future directions.

A project within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Fluentd is focused on logging, pulling together data from a variety of sources and sending it to a back-end. Eduardo Silva spoke with me at CloudNativeCon in Berlin about Fluentd and its flexible architecture for plug-ins. Fluentd is widely used for tasks like aggregating mobile stats and to understand how games are behaving.

In the podcast we cover the challenges inherent in shifting from a company-led project to a community-led one, principles that can lead to more successful communities, and how to structure decision-making.
