In this episode of the O’Reilly Podcast, I talk about issues surrounding stateful containers and services with Tobi Knaup, CTO and co-founder of Mesosphere, whose DC/OS is a platform for deploying stateful and stateless applications on any combination of infrastructure, and Gou Rao, CTO of Portworx, a provider of persistent storage for containers.

Tobi Knaup and Gou Rao on Stateful Containers

In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk about Kubernetes, containers, and more with Bridget Kromhout, a principal cloud developer advocate at Microsoft, and a frequent speaker at tech conferences. She will be leading the workshop "Kubernetes 101" at the O’Reilly Velocity Conference in San Jose, June 11-14, 2018, and at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON), July 16-19, 2018.

In this episode of the O’Reilly Podcast, I talk with Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript, co-founder of the Mozilla Project and Foundation, and CEO and founder of Brave Software. Eich will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming O’Reilly Fluent Conference, July 11-14, 2018, in San Jose.

The Web Is Broken; Lets Fix It

In this episode of the O’Reilly Podcast, I talk with Cory Doctorow, who is a science fiction author, editor of Boing Boing, the former European director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and currently a special advisor for the EFF. Doctorow will be a keynote speaker at the O’Reilly Fluent Conference, July 11-14, 2018, in San Jose.

Cory Doctorow on the Fight for a Configurable and Free Internet

In this episode of the O’Reilly Podcast, I talk with Tammy Butow, a site reliability engineer at Gremlin, and Annie Lau, a software engineering manager at Trulia, about creating a culture of learning, how experimentation is important to business, and their careers in tech.

From Chaos Engineering to Bug Bounties—Why Companies Need to Experiment with New Technology

In a recent episode of the O’Reilly Media Podcast, we spoke with George Miranda about the importance of service mesh technology in creating reliable distributed systems. As discussed in the new report The Service Mesh: Resilient Service-to-Service Communication for Cloud Applications, service mesh technology has emerged as a popular tool for companies looking to build cloud-native applications that are reliable and secure.

During the podcast, we discussed the problems a service mesh infrastructure solves and the service mesh features you’ll find most valuable. We also talked about how to choose the right service mesh for your organization, the challenges involved in getting it deployed to production, and the best ways for getting started with a service mesh.

How to Choose and Deploy a Service Mesh

In this episode of the O’Reilly Media Podcast, Rachel Roumeliotis, VP of content strategy at O’Reilly, sat down with Daniel Krook, IBM developer advocate. They discussed how developers across industries can participate in the Call for Code initiative, the benefits of the program, support from its charitable partners—United Nations Human Rights and the American Red Cross—and the positive impacts IBM hopes to achieve by investing in Call for Code.

Developers Worldwide Will Collaborate on Solutions to Save Lives in Call For Code

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Alan Nichol, co-founder and CTO of Rasa, a startup that builds open source tools to help developers and product teams build conversational applications. About 18 months ago, there was tremendous excitement and hype surrounding chatbots, and while things have quieted lately, companies and developers continue to refine and define tools for building conversational applications. We spoke about the current state of chatbots, specifically about the types of applications developers are building today and how he sees conversational applications evolving in the near future.

Using Machine Learning to Improve Dialog Flow in Conversational Applications

This episode of the O’Reilly Podcast, features a conversation on serverless and Kubernetes, with Kelsey Hightower, developer advocate for Google Cloud Platform at Google (and co-author of "Kubernetes: Up and Running"), and Chris Gaun, Kubernetes product marketing manager at Mesosphere.

Kelsey Hightower and Chris Gaun on Serverless and Kubernetes

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Avner Braverman, co-founder and CEO of Binaris, a startup that aims to bring serverless to web-scale and enterprise applications. This conversation took place shortly after the release of a seminal paper from UC Berkeley (“Cloud Programming Simplified: A Berkeley View on Serverless Computing”), and this paper seeded a lot of our conversation during this episode.

What Data Scientists and Data Engineers Can Do with Current Generation Serverless Technologies

At Google’s 2019 Cloud Next conference, I sat down with Stephen Thorne, site reliability engineer on Google’s customer reliability engineering team and co-author of "The Site Reliability Workbook," to talk about how organizations, both large and small, can use SRE to reduce operational costs, improve reliability, and create productive cross-functional teams.

How to Get Started With Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

In this interview, Tim Craig and fellow Googler Gustavo Franco, a site reliability engineer (SRE), discuss the wide range of events that qualify as “incidents;” the need for a conscious, robust, and well-defined process for understanding them; the role of training; and how to get buy-in from management so you can spread incident response training throughout an organization.

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
