Traditional infrastructure providers such as Cisco, VMware, HPE, Dell and Nutanix have always sold infrastructure solutions to IT departments. They never dealt with the application layer and lack the intellectual property and experience. → Read More
YARN limits users to Hadoop and Java focused tools while recent years have shown an uptake in post Hadoop data science frameworks including microservices and Python-based tools. So what if a user doesn’t want to give up on Hadoop but still enjoy modern AI microservices?The answer is just using Kubernetes as your orchestration layer. → Read More
While browsing the CNCF Serverless Slack channel recently, I noticed a message; someone needed help writing a function which processes S3 update events. He didn’t want to use AWS Lambda and alternatively was looking for an open-source solution over Kubernetes. I took on the challenge of writing, as a response, a function for the open … → Read More
I’m finally back home after two weeks of full-on cloud infusion, starting at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas and ending with KubeCon in Austin. The common theme at KubeCon was about Kubernetes and containers becoming boring. This was similar to the one emphasized at re:Invent, which was about development automation and making infrastructure invisible. The … → Read More
We recently debated at a technical forum what cloud native storage is, which led me to believe that this topic deserves a deeper discussion and more clarity. First though, I first want to define what cloud native applications are, as some may think that containerizing an application is enough to make it “cloud-native.” This is … → Read More
Serverless platforms allow developers to focus on building and running auto-scaling applications without worrying about managing servers, as server provisioning and maintenance are taken care of behind the scenes. Industry demand for instant results has therefore made serverless platforms the new buzz. However, serverless platforms have challenges which limit their usability and applicability:… → Read More
We’ve gotten used to there always being a trade-off: if something is abstract and easy to use as serverless, it’s probably slow and inflexible. Either that, or we’ve had to squeeze maximum… → Read More

Let’s assume you want to build a clustered application or a software as a service offering. Before you start to write one single line of application code, you must address an overflowing array of architectural issues, including security, multitenancy, API gateways, CLI, configuration management, and logging. What if you could just leverage all that infrastructure … → Read More
The platform we built at Iguazio is cloud native, using Docker-based microservices, etcd and home-grown cluster management. We are gradually migrating to the Kubernetes container orchestration engine, now that it has become more mature, leveraging its advanced functionality so that we can focus on delivering unique services. Unlike most cloud-native apps, ours is real-time. We … → Read More
