“Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.

Melvyn Conway, 1967

Microservices

Containers

12-Factor Applications

Microservices are great, but they require:

rapid provisioning

basic monitoring

rapid application deployment

devops culture

Per Martin Fowler

• Use declarative formats for setup automation, to minimize time and

cost for new developers joining the project;

• Have a clean contract with the underlying OS, offering maximum

portability between execution environments;

• Are suitable for deployment on modern cloud platforms, obviating

the need for servers and systems administration;

• Minimize divergence between development and production,

enabling continuous deployment for maximum agility;

• And can scale up without significant changes to tooling,

architecture, or development practices.

But even that’s not enough…

• Role based access to resources: the right

people should be able to do things and the

wrong people shouldn’t

• Run specified bits on demand: take code, put

it together with all the rest of the things it

needs and and get it running

• Coordinate cross service configurations: in a

service oriented world, services need to be

configured to connect with each other

• Route public requests to running bits: the

next big thing needs access to the internet

• Read and write persistent data: data has to

live somewhere

• Add and remove resources: scaling is a great

problem to have, but still

• Isolate resources and failures without

isolation and decoupling, that is one big

distributed single point of failure

• Measure performance/health: can’t manage

what you don’t measure

• Detect and determine failure: sometimes,

things get real… but how do you know

• Recover failures: someone is going to have

to clean this mess

• Work tomorrow: when everything you’ve

thought to be true has been shown not to

We’re going to need a platform

So here we are in the age of

open source…

Platforms make promises

The purpose of abstraction is

not to be vague, but to create a

new semantic level in which one

can be absolutely precise.

Constraints are the contract that

allows a platform to keep

The Cloud Native Advantage:

Simple Patterns

Highly Automated

Scaled with Ease

A platform is a promise that the products will function in ways beyond what’s “written on the box”; that the product is extensible and has value provided by an ecosystem bigger than the original vendor.

Horace Dediu, 2011http://www.asymco.com/2011/02/25/the-platform-as-a-promise/

We’re rebalancing the system towards user-driven

roadmaps and control of the upstream project.

We’re building support for specific industry

clusters in Financial Services, Industrial IoT, and

Telecommunications.

We’re focusing on certification to guarantee

portability of apps across clouds.

Make it lasting and durable.

Build the ecosystem of opportunity.

We see a world of cloud computing that is

UBIQUITOUS and FLEXIBLE

supporting public, private, and hybrid application environments.

PORTABLE and INTEROPERABLE enabling users to move their applications wherever they need to go.

VIBRANT and GROWING underlying a massive ecosystem of applications and developers

based on an efficient marketplace.

We see a human community that is

PRAGMATIC

and focused on exchanging practical experience.

DIVERSE

and inclusive of people across race, gender, orientation, and lifestyle.

RESPECTFUL and committed to listening to thoughtful and honest perspectives.
