In this episode of The New Stack Makers, Benjamin Ball, Technical Editor and Producer at The New Stack, talks with Chip Childers, Chief Technology Officer at the Cloud Foundry Foundation. The conversation begins with an introduction to Cloud Foundry Foundation and the principles of cloud native platforms.

In discussing the architecture and implementation of cloud native principles, we outline the differences between Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Containers as a Service (CaaS) solutions, including their technical capabilities, market segmentation and use cases. We also talk about what they expect to see from container-focused users in the near future. We wrap up with a brief conversation about Cloud Foundry’s service broker API, their role in industrial Internet of Things use cases, and the Cloud Foundry Silicon Valley Summit in June, 2017.

In part three of of our #FlashbackFriday Apcera Community Edition tutorial segment, Apcera Software Architect Joshua Ellithorpe highlights some potential use cases of Apcera CE, along with its workflow automation features and the benefits these have to developers working at scale.

Apcera has created what it calls Stagers, which are similar to Heroku buildpacks. These stagers are designed to automate one’s workflow pipeline, while also allowing users the ability to create different policies based on what team is responsible for them.

Today's #ThrowbackThursday episode of TNS Tutorials features part two of our Apcera Community Edition video series with Apcera software architect Joshua Ellithorpe.

This tutorial highlights creating apps and microservices within the Apcera Community Edition platform. We also explored the unique features in Apcera CE available to developers, such as scalability, increased system granularity, and containerized operating systems.

Ellithorpe also noted that while Apcera CE supports a number of platforms, it is not well-suited for use on a laptop and your mileage may vary.

On today’s episode of The New Stack Makers, we explore how ZeroStack is putting AI and machine learning to use in order to helps its customers navigate the chasm between public and private cloud infrastructures.

TNS associate podcast producer Kiran Oliver spoke with ZeroStack VP of Marketing Steve Garrison, launching into the discussion with a quick look into one of the more commonly cited issues facing developers working with public clouds: Resource management. ZeroStack makes use of artificial intelligence with its cloud management tool ZBrain in order to help its customers better understand their infrastructure, with Garrison noting that, “We can help you map capacity at three levels: The user, the actual cluster, and then we advise you based on your behavior as to what types of metal you should buy to maximize performance.”

On this episode of The New Stack Makers, our Managing Editor Joab Jackson was in Austin, Texas for Continiuum.io's first official user conference, AnacondaCON. Jackson sat down with Peter Wang, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder at Continiuum.io to learn more about Anaconda, described by Continuum.io as an Open Data Science Platform.

Continiuum.io is riding a wave of interest for its Anaconda distribution, integrating the best open source data hacking tools from both the R statistical language and the Python programming language.

Setting up complicated messaging systems for service communications can be something of a challenge. Apcera‘s NATS open source messaging platform was designed to address this complexity.

In this #TimeMachineTuesday demonstration, Apcera senior software developer Waldemar Quevedo Salinas demonstrated NATS live from the DockerCon 2016 event floor. Salinas then offered a step-by-step tutorial of some of NATS‘s most powerful features, including NATS’ unique approach to traditional pub/sub model.
