How responsible AI can unlock your competitive edge
To gain a competitive edge, leaders must embed responsible AI across the business and align with what really matters to consumers. In brief Many C-suite leaders overestimate how aligned they are with consumer concerns about AI. Clear communication of responsible AI practices can boost adoption by helping consumers feel more informed and reassured. CEOs are leading on responsible AI, but broader C-suite alignment is needed. Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing at breakneck speed.
Clouds Are Like Buses: Public Isn’t Always Better
Since the concept of “private cloud” was introduced, there have been efforts by certain people to prove it “wrong” or show that it doesn’t make sense when compared with the public cloud. This seems like a silly crusade, not because I’m a supporter of private cloud (which I am), but because both provide tremendous value if you actually understand the value that “cloud” has delivered to the industry.
How Cloud Platforms Will Evolve Programming Languages and Runtime Models
Compared to 30 years ago, the number of programming languages we developers have at our disposal is staggering, and the continued evolution of these languages is happening at a dizzying pace. While language paradigms have changed drastically, not much has changed in terms of execution and compilation. Nearly all languages are compiled to either processor-native bytecode or an intermediary bytecode (e.g. Java bytecode, IL) with the intent to run on a single node.
Are microservices just SOA redux?
Sinclair is CEO and cofounder of Apprenda, a leader in enterprise Platform as a Service. It seems like every conversation related to cloud-native software projects these days involves microservices. During those conversations, someone inevitably draws a comparison with service-oriented architecture (SOA) or hesitantly asks the question, “Aren’t microservices just SOA?” While it might not seem important on first glance, this is actually a pressing question that gets little attention.
Cloud Foundry Standardizes Code Base, Certifies Compliant Deployments
The Cloud Foundry Foundation has launched a certification program to ensure that customers can run their Cloud Foundry-based workloads across any certified provider without alteration. The purpose of the certification, and accompanying standardization of the Cloud Foundry code base, is to ensure portability of Cloud Foundry-based workloads across multiple cloud services and other deployments, explained Sam Ramji, CEO of the Cloud Foundry Foundation.
Apprenda Joins the Open Container Initiative
We are happy to announce Apprenda has joined the Open Container Initiative (OCI), the organization committed to creating open industry standards around container formats and runtimes. The OCI has an important mission and as the industry’s most compatible enterprise Platform as a Service, we greatly support it. Apprenda has long used containers to isolate and more efficiently run workloads in the enterprise.
Why CIOs must pursue ‘eventual symmetry’ for their cloud strategies
Sinclair is CEO and cofounder of Apprenda. The idea that hybrid cloud is the end state of enterprise computing is no longer controversial. Nearly all technologists, IT executives, and analysts subscribe to the idea that public cloud and on-premises computing both have a place in modern enterprise IT strategy. A hybrid end state isn’t a bridging tactic or a strategic consolation prize, but a desirable outcome.
Why monolithic apps are often better than microservices
Sinclair is CEO and cofounder of Apprenda, a leader in enterprise Platform as a Service. With all of the talk these days about microservices and distributed applications, monolithic applications have become the scourge of cloud systems design. Normally, when a new technical trend emerges to replace a previous one, it is due (at least in part) to evolved thinking. The odd thing with monolithic application architecture, however, is that nobody ever proposed it as a good idea in the first place.
How hybrid will reshape the entire cloud market
Sinclair Schuller is the CEO and cofounder of Apprenda, a leader in enterprise Platform as a Service. When the phrase “hybrid cloud” is mentioned, some technologists will tell you it is the eventual end state of cloud computing, while other technologists chuckle. Those that chuckle typically view hybrid as a phrase used by vendors and customers who have no cloud strategy at all. But hybrid is real and here to stay.
Why unikernels might kill containers in five years
Sinclair Schuller is the CEO and cofounder of Apprenda, a leader in enterprise Platform as a Service. Container technologies have received explosive attention in the past year – and rightfully so. Projects like Docker and CoreOS have done a fantastic job at popularizing operating system features that have existed for years by making those features more accessible.
