Tanzu Talk

How is DevOps actually panning out in organizations? In this episode recorded at SpringOne Platform, Kenny Bastani and I talk with Matt Curry about his talk on putting DevOps in place. We discuss how being more open in conversations helps build trust, shifting to a product-centric approach, and some ideas about scaling DevOps. Also, we discuss the idea of "is DevOps actually real," a favorite topic of Coté's.

The best conference in cloud native is right around the corner, SpringOne Platform, Dec 4th to 7th. Chock full of actual end-users and enterprises (along with your friends from Pivotal), it'll be a great time to learn about new technologies and how to improve how your organization does software. There's somewhere around 150 sessions. Richard and Coté go over some of their highlights, what to get out of the conference, and, as always, some recent infrastructure software news.

Spring Boot is unquestionably a popular framework and has been rising in popularity as the months flip by. In this episode we're joined by Greg Turnquist who talks about the second edition of his book, Learning Spring Boot. We also talk about the process of writing a book and Greg's fiction writing.

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.

Your build pipeline is one of your most valuable assets in a cloud native organization. When you need to build and test your application, managing all the dependencies, branches, and, not to mention setting up your cloud environments is no small feat. And then there's the whole part where you deploy to production as well. In this episode, Richard and Coté talk with Pivotal's James Ma and Lyle Murphy about Concourse, the build pipeline system that's used by Pivotal and several of Pivotal's customers to manage, well, their pipelines.

After a brief overview of some recent kubernetes news (Docker has added support), we talk with Jared Ruckle about the new features and updates in Pivotal Cloud Foundry 1.12. There are, as always, many security updates including tools to help migrate to CredHub and mTLS. Also, .Net support has widened in the Steeltoe framework and additional operational functionality. We also discuss the small footprint Pivotal Cloud Foundry profile which compliments the PCFDev desktop profile, as well as PCF Metrics.

There's a new option for running kubernetes, Pivotal Container Service, or PKS. PKS uses the underlying management layer from Pivotal Cloud Foundry to create a standardized cluster manager. This means you can run your applications in the existing Pivotal Cloud Foundry runtime, the Elastic Run Time (ERT) or PKS. With both of these runtimes in PCF, you can run virtually anytime of application, from cloud native apps to I/O intensive and "legacy" applications. We talk with Cornelia Davis about PKS and also here upcoming book, Cloud Native.

We’re back after a month off with tales of New Zealand’s expansive bacon selection, discussion of the new Spring Framework version, and CF Summit EU. We also discuss three pieces of ours from the past month on the usual topics of why all this cloud-native stuff is kind of a big deal.

A couple weeks ago Pivotal announced how kubo is being productized into Pivotal Cloud Foundry, namely, as Pivotal Container Service (or "PKS"). We discuss what PKS is and the types of workloads it seems suited for compared to the existing Pivotal Cloud Foundry platform. There's also a couple of studies about container adoption and some other news from the infrastructure software world.

We discuss a retail-oriented demo application that looks around trying to find latent buyers. See the project diagram we mention here: https://twitter.com/sct/status/878377986520633344
