The New Stack Podcast

The goal for the Kubernetes community in 2018 is to make Kubernetes rock solid. Over the past year, the community has focused on building out the Kubernetes core. Networking, security and storage are all examples of Kubernetes projects that have matured quite a bit in the past year. For the new year, we shouldn’t necessarily expect major changes or even Kubernetes 2.0. Instead, it's a year to focus on the basics, providing a base on which different distribution providers can build out their unique offerings.

In this context, The New Stack Founder and Editor-in-Chief Alex Williams discusses existing and emerging deployment patterns with Ihor Dvoretskyi, Developer Advocate at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in this podcast included in our latest ebook, “Kubernetes Deployment & Security Patterns.”

Aubrey Blanche, Global Head of Diversity & Inclusion at Atlassian, joins TC Currie to talk about the difference between diversity and inclusion and why anyone should care. “Diversity is being invited to the party,” she said. “Inclusion is being glad you’re there.” It turns out, Blanche explains, that when you create an inclusive culture, business thrives. Employees who feel comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work perform better, are happier at work which leads to less turnover which all leads to profits.

Blanche comes from a political science background and is all about measurable outcomes. After a brilliant flash of insight, she realized that teams are the unit of measure for all of her inclusion initiatives, because teams are where all the work happens. Once the focus for diversity was on teams, she started making changes and measuring outcomes, leading to changes in the way Atlassian does business and looks at hiring. Empathy is the most important criteria for hiring at Atlassian, she said, even more than technical skills, which are likely to be out of date in a few years. In this conversation, she breaks down what specific steps Atlassian has taken to create an inclusive culture.

Microsoft’s support of the open source Kubernetes container orchestration tool seems to grow by the day. Direct from Kubecon/CloudNativeCon 2017, recently held in Austin, we spoke with Microsoft Distinguished Engineer Brendan Burns as well as with Gabe Monroy, the Microsoft Azure program lead for containers. We chatted about about the latest tools that have come from Microsoft to enable Kubernetes for a wider array of workloads.

"We from the get go thought of Azure Container Instances as a low level piece of orchestration. Kubernetes is the high level job," said Burns.

One tool, the Virtual Kubelet, allows users to manage serverless containers using Kubernetes, either in Azure Container Instances, or on any other runtime platform. We also discussed the new Open Service Broker for Azure (OSBA), built using the Open Service Broker API, which provides a way to expose backing services to applications. The final new offering discussed is a dashboard and visualization tool, called Kashti, for the recently-launched Brigade pipelines, a language for executing workflows on Kubernetes.
