Robert Starmer, CTO, Kumulus Technologies
Containers are all people want to talk about these days. It is a paradigm shift to how applications will be written from this point forward for sure, but it is not the only piece of the puzzle, and understanding the shift in the landscape will be critical in understanding how Containers, Container supporting services, and the rest of the cloud systems infrastructure will come together to implement and enable the future IT services department. One key piece of that integration is the interaction between Containers and OpenStack services. OpenStack was the previous answer to all that is your IT department and in my view, is still a critical component of any ongoing IT strategy. Yet, even that toolset has not been left unscathed by the shift in everyone is focused towards Containers.
