‘Kubernetes’ Is the Future of Computing. What You Should Know About the New Trend.


The Greek word for helmsman or pilot, Kubernetes is accelerating the transition away for legacy client-server technology by making cloud-native software development easier, better and faster.

Last week, more than 12,000 developers and executives gathered in San Diego at the largest annual Kubernetes conference called KubeCon. That’s up from just 550 attendees four years ago. The conference goers are all looking for ways to take advantage of Kubernetes and its ability to automatically deploy, manage, and scale software workloads in the cloud.

To understand the trend, let’s start with the changing dynamics of software in the cloud. Cloud apps increasingly run in aptly-named containers. The containers hold an application, its settings, and other related instructions. The trick is that these containers aren’t tied down to one piece of hardware and can run nearly anywhere—across different servers and clouds. It’s how Google manages to scale Gmail and Google Maps across a billion-plus users.


Alphabet’s (ticker: GOOGL) Google long ago developed software called Borg to orchestrate its in-house containers—spinning them up and down as needed. In 2014, the search giant opted to make a version of Borg open source, calling it Kubernetes. Today, the major cloud providers all offer a Kubernetes option to customers.

Aparna Sinha, the director of product for Kubernetes at Google, notes that Kubernetes is built by the same team that created Borg. “We are quite confident in its ability and how it enables applications to run more reliably, more efficiently, and more affordably,” Sinha says. “Kubernetes has really taken off.”

Gartner says more than 75% of global companies will run containerized applications by 2022, from less than 30% today. Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for these managing containers.

“As enterprises modernize their infrastructure and adopt a hybrid multicloud strategy, we see Kubernetes and containers rapidly emerging as the standard,” Jason McGee, chief technology officer of IBM Cloud Platform, told Barron’s in an email.

In terms of who will thrive in the shift to Kubernetes, there are some early leaders. Last month, Microsoft (MSFT) Azure Chief Technology Officer Mark Russinovich told Barron’s he thinks Microsoft’s Kubernetes service is best-of-breed.

Some industry analysts are pointing to other companies. When asked for the Kubernetes vendors that came up the most during discussions with customers, Gartner analyst Arun Chandrasekaran listed Amazon Web Services (AMZN), Google Cloud, and IBM (IBM) Red Hat OpenShift. For on-premise companies looking to use multiple clouds, IDC analyst Gary Chen added, “Red Hat right now is the leader in Kubernetes software. They have the early lead.”

It is still early in this new big trend. One thing is for sure, get ready to hear a lot more from technology companies on their Kubernetes strategies. The race is on.[Source]-https://www.barrons.com/articles/kubernetes-is-the-future-of-computing-heres-why-51574863351

Is Data Scientist & Data Analyst are same? Learn the Differences Now!

Image
If we talk about the hottest jobs in tech right now, then only two names will pop up in your mind those are a data analyst or data scientist.  And, that’s not only we are saying even the Harvard Business Review declared “data scientist” as the“sexiest job of the 21st century .” But there is a lot of confusion between both the names even people who have some basic knowledge of data science consider both the job profiles as one.  Well, the reason behind this confusion is both of the professions deal with big data, rather defined vaguely and sometimes used interchangeably with one another. So, here we are to explain the differences between the two of them and that too in the easiest way. Let’s begin the brief introduction of both the terms, followed by skillsets each require to understand well.   Definition a. Data Analysts Data Analysts play a vital role in the Data Science domain. As a role, they play a variety of tasks associated with collectin...

What Is Java? A Beginner’s Guide to Java and Its Evolution

What is Java used for? Before I answer the question, what is Java used for, let me brief you about why you should choose Java. Java is highly popular and has dominated this field from early 2000’s till the present 2018. Java has been used in different domains. Some of them are listed below: Banking: To deal with transaction management. Retail: Billing applications that you see in a store/restaurant are completely written in Java. Information Technology: Java is designed to solve implementation dependencies. Android: Applications are either written in Java or use Java API. Financial services: It is used in server-side applications. Stock market: To write algorithms as to which company they should invest in.   Big Data: Hadoop MapReduce framework is written using Java. Scientific and Research Community: To deal with huge amount of data. Wait! Java can do more. Let’s see how some of the technologies make use of Java as an essential core of their functionalit...

Full Stack Development : All that you need to know

What is a Full Stack Development professional? A full stack development professional is the one who is having a sound technical knowledge of each and every aspect of development – front end, back end, various operating systems among other details of the technology. These people are usually termed as “developer generalists”. The significant thing to be noted here is that full stack developer should not be confused with senior developers. In nutshell, this stack of developers can create any complex application from the scratch, provided they would have understood how each technical layer should interact with the other. Why Full Stack Development? At the beginning of this post, we have mentioned about a query that had instantly popped in the mind – why would a company require full stack development professional. Here’s the answer: 1. Creation of unique code: The developer or the agency would be able to create a unique code for multiple technologies; as they could work with ...
