Tanzu Talk

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

"Agile Long Term Planning" sounds like an oxymoron. Or does it? A common misunderstanding about agile methodology is that it doesn't get along with long-term planning. In this episode, Coté talks with Joanna Beltowska on the topic of long-term planning in cloud-native organizations. Being agile doesn't mean a lack of vision, strategy, or a road-map at all. Indeed, those activities are more important than ever, but adding in the ability to experiment with theories and learn from the results in key. It's not that we don't want strategy and long-term planning: we want those, but with the ability to correct and modify them as they collide with the buzz-saw of reality.

It's a white paper party! Jared Ruckle helped several Pivotal platform architects put together four white papers, all released last week, on microservices, PCI, build pipelines, and BOSH. Jared gives us a brief overview of each paper and tells us his highlights. We also discuss recent infrastructure news from Amazon, the world of RAD-cum-low-code, and a bevy of new hype-cycles in the appdev space.

Hey, so data matters. Where are you supposed to stick it and does anything about that change when you’re acting all cloudy? Coté and Richard talked to Ben Laplanche who leads up Pivotal’s data services effort. We chat about what Pivotal offers, how the role of the DBA is changing, what to consider when crafting “high availability”, and more.

It's probably a good idea to learn about enterprise architecture by talking to someone who's actually done it. In this episode, we talk with Stuart Charlton, now of Pivotal, but previously of roles where he EA's, even back in the SOA era! We discuss the mapping of traditional EA to cloud-native, and also some strategies for Coté to increase his Twitter followers, and, as ever, some recent cloud-native news.
