Software Defined Talk: An AWS Private Cloud Strategy, and YAML-Based Microservices

Jun 2nd, 2017 2:50pm by Michael Coté

Mary Meeker’s Internet Trends report is out this week so in this 96th episode of the Software Defined Talk podcast, we discuss the highlights, which leads to a discussion of what an Amazon private cloud product would look like. Then, with a raft of new container related news we sort out what CoreOS is doing with its Tectonic managed service, what Heptio is (the Mirantis of Kubernetes?), and then a deep dive into the newly announced Istio project, which seems to be looking to create a YAML-based(!) standard for microservices configuration and policy and, then, the actual code for managing it all. Also, an extensive analysis of a hot-dog creature (pictured above), which is either basting itself or putting on some condiment-hair.

This episode features Brandon Whichard, Matt Ray, and myself, Coté.
