New services and tools continue to emerge for cloud native deployments, vying for a place among what is already an immensely complex web of choices.

During a podcast hosted by Alex Williams, founder and editor in chief of The New Stack, at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Barcelona, tools and goals by Oracle and Autom8.Network, which offers a decentralized function as a service (FaaS), were the main topics as a way to make serverless and other environments that much easier and reliaable for organizations to use.

Podcast guests Maddie Patrichi, senior software developer for Oracle, and Gregg Altschul, co-founder and CTO, for Autom8.Network, offered their thoughts and described their projects.
