If you understand how your containers are typically constructed before they are deployed into production, then you should have a better comprehension of what components of code go into those containers. That’s the assertion being made by Michael Ducy, Chef Software’s director of product marketing. Speaking with The New Stack’s Alex Williams at the last ChefConf in Austin, Texas, Ducy put forth a case for reinforcing developers’ comprehension of their code components’ contents through the way they are packaged and managed.

“There are a lot of enterprises out there… and they want to do app modernization, but they’re kinda stuck with their legacy applications,” explained Apcera director of product management Henry Stapp, speaking with Alex Williams at DockerCon 2017 in Austin, Texas. “They want to be able to migrate those to cloud, and then also have a way to support those modern, containerized applications.

So although Apcera didn’t have to reinvent the wheel, it did have to repurpose the wheels and gears of application networking to make programs for the old environment sustainable within a hosting platform that’s two or three generations newer. The result is what Stapp explained to us as a single platform across multiple clouds.

Check out Apcera’s demo from the DockerCon show floor in Apcera: Old Apps Spanning New Clouds, the latest edition of The New Stack Makers podcast.

The immediate benefit of virtualizing all the resources that collectively constitute the infrastructure of your data center, as Chef has professed since its beginnings as OpsCode, is to address those resources programmatically and build systems with code. Which is nice, but the moment that happens, you and your fellow developers may notice the compliance department asking for a meeting at your earliest convenience.

Indeed, that’s exactly what happened with Chef’s engineers.

Dominik Richter, Chef’s head of compliance, spoke with TNS Founder Alex Williams for this latest edition of The New Stack Makers podcast, from the ChefConf 2017 conference in Austin, Texas.

In early May, HANA Express found itself at O’Reilly’s OSCON open source event in Austin. That’s pretty interesting, given the fact that HANA is not an open source product. Veterans of the IT industry will recall that SAP was known as one of the fiercest protectors of its intellectual property (IP) portfolio through the 1990s and 2000s. Indeed, in a public statement back in 2006, one of SAP’s C-level executives warned that the open source movement was a dangerous form of what he called “IP socialism.”

A decade later, SAP’s director of global developer relations, Craig Cmehil, spoke with The New Stack’s Alex Williams about how one of the key products in SAP’s modern portfolio could peacefully co-exist with database tools in the open source segment.

Listen to more of Cmehil’s fascinating explanation, in his conversation with Alex Williams for The New Stack Makers from OSCON in Austin, Texas.
