Tanzu Talk

File systems are seemingly inescapable, if not just for "legacy" applications, perhaps just because they fit the requirements. The cloud-native world at first eschews "local storage," but the need to continue using that metaphor persists. Plus, in many existing, so called "legacy" systems, you have to work with both new types of storage and good, old fashioned filesystems, even NFS! In this episode, Coté talks with DellEMC's Julian Hjortshoj who works on Cloud Foundry Volume Services about his (and Paul Warren)'s talk at CF Summit on this topic. We first cover the basics of what's needed, how it works from the perspective of a user (i.e., an application developer) and how it's all handled behind the scenes, all the way back to the actual storage systems.

If you're interested in that, be sure to come to the CF Summit, June 13-15, 2017. You can get 20% off registration with the code cfsv17cote.

In this episode we talk with Todd Persen on the topic of monitoring cloud-native applications with Pivotal Cloud Foundry Metric. We discuss the changing nature of monitoring in cloud-native platforms, how developers can now turn black-boxes into white-boxes, why time-series dominates the thought-technology in this space now, and the benefits of open source taking over most innovation in systems management. Richard is out this week, so Andrew Shafer returns to fill in as co-host.

Pretty much every application needs authentication and authorization services. Pivotal Cloud Foundry bundles a tremendous amount of these services so that developers don't need to fall into the all too common trap of implementing identity services on their own. In this episode we talk with Sree Tummidi about the Cloud Foundry User Account and Authentication (UAA) project. We also cover some innovations in the identity space and some of Sree's experience in managing the project. As usual, we also cover recent infrastructure software news such as recent CEO turnover, IBM buying Verizon's cloud assets, and a recent Pivotal partnership with Cognizant.

Previewing his CF Summit talk, Gary White explains what blockchain is and how it's being integrated into Cloud Foundry as a service. We start talking about how blockchain works and what kinds of capabilities it provides, beyond just bitcoin. We use the example of a shoe supply-chain to go over an example of using a blockchain verified ledger. Gary then goes over some examples of blockchain could be used in Cloud Foundry and how folks he's working with are integrated it into the platform for easy, reliable use by product teams.

There's a whole slurry of myths about Cloud Foundry. With the platform updating so quickly, many of the issues behind these myths have long been addressed, and many were just false from the get-go. Coté and Richard talk about a recent post dismissing common myths. We also discuss recent news from the infrastructure software world and go over a bunch of upcoming events that Pivotal will be at.

Networking and storage are two of the most difficult and complex parts of a cloud-native platform. In this episode we talk with Usha Ramachandran who product managers containing networking and volume services in Cloud Foundry. We discuss the networking problems being solved with c2c and why networking problems is so difficult. While not as extensive, we have a brief conversation around storage. Also, as ever, we discuss some recent news from DockerCon, Google voice services, and the recent Spring Cloud Data Flow release.
