The New Stack Podcast

There is no single way to monitor containers running in production. CA Technologies, which has been in the application monitoring field for the entirety of this decade, has its own strategy: to filter out the infrastructure-centric elements from container monitoring, and present to developers metrics that are tailored for the way they understand the system. Listen now to Kumar’s explanation of how such a system works in CA Technologies’ Tailored Views of Performance, the latest installment of The New Stack Makers podcast with Scott Fulton.

Nathen Harvey is vice president of community development at Chef. He is big on hugs. The whole company is big on hugs. So much so that when he said Chef has a hug-o-meter at corporate headquarters, The New Stack Founder Alex Williams quickly asked about it. He told me it's a big map that lights up with little red pins when anyone in the Chef community gives a hug. You can get the full explanation when listening to this episode of The New Stack Makers, recorded while at ChefConf in Austin.

As the methodology around serverless technologies matures, there’s an immediate need to focus our efforts on refining the tooling around the serverless ecosystem. The push to expand on the tooling workflow with new technologies is especially prevalent with serverless, which went from concept to execution perhaps much quicker than normal. In this episode of The New Stack Makers, TNS Technical Editor Ben Ball spoke to Florian Motlik, consultant at Cloudthropology, about how serverless is driving the new for a specific and renewed focus on its own tooling ecosystem. In our conversation we also discuss utilizing serverless services as “glue code,” how organizations are adopting serverless, and why it takes so little investment to start experimenting with serverless environments.

Despite whatever terminology the larger development industry settles on, serverless environments are ultimately event-driven systems. These architectures are still going to ultimately involve servers and cloud management for many. In this episode of The New Stack Makers, TNS Technical Editor Ben Ball spoke to Jason McGee, VP and CTO of IBM Cloud Platform, at ServerlessConf Austin. We talk about the focus for many at ServerlessConf on assessing, implementing, and monitoring event-driven architectures. We learned about how IBM Bluemix makes the most of OpenWhisk’s capabilities, and how serverless compares to and builds upon developer application models such as those around Docker and containers.

While we’re often so focused on developer workflows with serverless tools, it’s important to also understand what kinds of organizations are adopting serverless workflows and environments, and what their motivations are for doing so. In this episode of The New Stack Makers, TNS Technical Editor Ben Ball spoke to Jared Short, Director of Innovation at Trek10, about why organizations are making a change to serverless, and to what extent they’re investing in it. Jared spoke about how the traditional Ops team has to change with serverless, but that doesn’t mean it disappears. We also spoke about the learning curve with serverless, changing customer needs, and the curious case of some users skipping containers entirely and moving straight to serverless.
