The New Stack Podcast

Do you recall when was the last time your binge-watching was interrupted on Netflix? We all have seen downtime with all services out there, but not Netflix. Considering the scale and scope of Netflix’s engineering operations it’s really incredible how they manage this feat.

Netflix has developed many tools that enables its developers to maintain a very dynamic CD/CI pipeline without interrupting the shows.

Dianne Marsh, Director for Engineering of Engineering Tools team said that her team is responsible for building the tools that the other teams use for deploying their changes to the cloud. It also means that her team is at the pinnacle of solving the developer productivity problem.

Netflix has open sourced many of its tools, including Spinnaker, that’s not only solving its own problems but are also being used by a larger ecosystem of companies trying to solve similar problems.

It’s not just the technology that plays a central role in Netflix’ story, it’s also the culture. Marsh believes that technology influences the culture and culture influences the technology. You are going to either build tools or adopt them. These tools either complement your culture or challenge it.

On today's episode of The New Stack Makers, we were joined by Cloud Native Computing Foundation COO Chris Aniszczyk alongside Weaveworks CEO Alexis Richardson to address all things CNCF, including its roadmap heading into 2018 and beyond.

When considering new projects for adoption into the CNCF or its inception projects, Aniszczyk and Richardson noted that openness and frequency of project updates are crucial. Citing the CNCF's involvement in restructuring of containerd's governance model from a 'Benevolent Dictator for Life' approach toward open and transparent governance was and is critical.

"The arc moves toward open governance. I think it's the only way to do things fair," said Aniszczyk.

On today's episode of The New Stack Makers, we're looking for answers to some commonly-asked questions in the Kubernetes community. Specifically, we set out to learn more about the focus on storage, along with a look inside the advancements to the Container Storage Interface.

Fielding these questions from TNS Founder Alex Williams were {code} Technical Director Clinton Kitson and Portworx Co-Founder & CTO Goutham Rao.

"It's lessons learned. When you lose your data, you have a really bad day. That's why storage is one of those critical areas we get right. I think we are at a very critical place with CSI," said Kitson.
