Purely Cloud Guest Series: Cloud Block Store on AWS Deep Dive Architecture and Deployment

In this episode, we dive deeper into the new architectural trends for infrastructure designers in this coming decade, which is a transition from virtualization platforms first like VMware into containerized platforms first. But this time, we talk through the use of virtualization in containerized systems - keeping VMs but with what changes are necessary to make a containerized virtualization platform dominant instead of a virtualized virtualization platform.

Virtualization in Containers (KubeVirt, OpenShift Virtualization)

We step back in this episode of our Tech Ops series and talk about cloud self managed infrastructure and how you balance the competing concerns. We started from a report that RackN had commissioned talking about on premises Kubernetes, and mixing that into your IT infrastructure. 

Can you have a cloud broker? Can you do multi cloud, some sort of tried and true topics for cloud consideration, but through a new filter and through this repatriation idea of mixing and matching your IT Infrastructure?

Kubernetes on Prem vs Cloud

Container Driven Architecture

In this episode, we continue our dive into the changing architecture of IT infrastructure and look at how containers and container platforms are changing. We also look at the fundamental nature of what people want to buy, accelerated by VMware Broadcom, making virtualization platforms much less attractive, and the shifting landscape here. This is work that is based on a presentation that I've been giving around the shift towards open shift virtualization and Kubernetes in general.
