Cloud Engineering – Software Engineering Daily

Amazon Web Services is the leading cloud provider by a large margin. Amazon established its lead by being first to market in 2006, with Google and Microsoft taking several years to catch up to the huge business opportunity of the cloud. Since 2008, Google Cloud has been working on cloud products for developers. It started The post Kubernetes Market with Adam Glick appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Containers offer a lightweight abstraction for running a server. Cloud providers are able to manage billions of containers from different users, allowing for economies of scale so that each user can pay less. Today, there is a variety of ways that users can deploy containers on a cloud provider. These containers can run in managed The post Service Mesh Interface with Lachlan Evenson appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Each cloud provider offers a different set of services which are not always compatible with each other. What are the challenges of building an application that interoperates with multiple different clouds? The first issue is API compatibility. Most cloud providers have a managed SQL offering, a bucket storage system, and server abstractions like virtual machines The post Multicloud Future with Bassam Tabbara appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Kubernetes has evolved from a nascent project within Google to a thriving ecosystem of cloud providers, open source projects, and engineers. Tim Hockin is a principal software engineer who has been with Google for 15 years. Tim joins the show to talk about the early days of the Kubernetes projects, and the engineering efforts that The post Kubernetes Development with Tim Hockin appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Google’s cloud business was long regarded as a place where startups could build a business, but not established enterprises. For serious workloads, enterprises chose Amazon almost unanimously. This phenomenon of Amazon as the default was described by a phrase that harkened back to the days of IBM’s dominance: “nobody ever got fired for choosing AWS.” The post Google Anthos with Aparna Sinha appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

A service mesh is an abstraction that provides traffic routing, policy management, and telemetry for a distributed application. A service mesh consists of a data plane and a control plane. In the data plane, a proxy runs alongside each service, with every request from a service being routed through the proxy. In the control plane, The post Service Mesh Wars with William Morgan appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Netflix started with a DVD-by-mail product. The software infrastructure and operations practices needed for the DVD business were very different from those needed by a streaming video company. Since the early days of Netflix, CEO Reed Hastings knew that the company would evolve to becoming a streaming video platform. But he did not know when The post Netflix Early Days with Greg Burrell appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Modern server infrastructure usually runs in a virtualized environment. Virtual servers can exist inside of a container or inside of a virtual machine. Containers can also run on virtual machines. Kubernetes has allowed developers to manage their multiple containers, whether those containers are running in VMs or on bare metal (servers without VMs). As organizations The post Kubernetes Virtualization with Paul Czarkowski appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
