The newbie cloud architect diary

Knative is a serverless framework for Service-Mesh and Event-Mesh architectures that make it easier to run elastic applications in Kubernetes. The daily mood I am just starting to realise how much my work life has changed with my "new" job. No more technical marketing, only questionable facts. No more Business trips, only Home-office. No more telephone calls, only Slack chats. No more productivity tools like Trello  and Todoist , only "old-school"  Jira projects.

They are actually days in and days out, which people might count so or so... Provided that my organisation is currently pivoting its business and technology, automation is the key. Today is our 2nd post around Cloud native and we are looking at Serverless in the context of Microservices and Kubernetes, or the...

A Service Mesh is a managed network of Microservices. Its model is probably one of the most powerful enablers for a dynamic Cloud Native architecture. The daily mood After 2 months part-time on-ramping, I am now set at full-time architect (as originally agreed).

I am now starting a new series of posts around Cloud Native , or the high-level abstraction of Kubernetes architectures through components helping at "solving the boring but difficult". What is Cloud Native The term was born when Kubernetes v1.0 was officially annouced at  CNCF  2015 conference. At its core, the f...
