I know, I know – 2018 is not over yet! But I feel like it’s a good time to take a step back and look at some of the most trending technologies we saw in 2018, talk a bit about their status and what questions are raised about their prospects. And of course, since we are in a general voting mood (see US midterm elections), we have a poll at the end of the article where you can tell us about your predictions for 2019.

The search for the golden fleece (re: an open source container-native workflow engine for Kubernetes) is over! Introducing Argo, a relative newcomer to the field with a whole host of exciting features, including Docker-in-Docker solutions, continuous delivery, and more.

Halloween might be behind us, but here at JAXenter, we still have the spooky atmosphere going! Here are four DevOps stories from hell, guaranteed to give you the chills! And if after reading this post you feel like you may have one or two things to say about it, don’t worry! JAX DevOps 2019 is calling!

It is the era of multi-platform cloud computing. But what is “multi-platform”? In this article, Chip Childers, CTO of Cloud Foundry Foundation, gives us a tour of what’s included in this new era and explains why most companies will be, or are already, adopting a multi-platform strategy.

In this talk, Kumbirai Tanekha offers some tips and tricks about the best practices for securing containerized applications and how to secure these applications across the DevOps pipeline.

Got any interesting ideas about continuous delivery, microservices, containers or the cloud? We want to hear from you! We are looking for proposals for JAX DevOps 2019 in London. The Call for Papers is open and we want to see you on the panel of speakers. The deadline for pitch submissions is November 12th; what are you waiting for?

Earlier this years, leaders of the O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference conducted a survey on microservices maturity to see how far along companies are in the microservices game and whether it has finally earned its ‘trend’ badge. We’re taking the pulse of containers, Kubernetes and more.

Debugging inside containers can be a nightmare. Looking for an easier way? Rookout adds breakpoints to Kubernetes and might just change your entire container game. Find out why breakpoints in Kubernetes can save you precious time.

Kubernetes has emerged as the defacto standard in enabling IT to build out digital architectures to deliver on their business goals, and it is now a “must have” for whatever your organization’s level of digital maturity is.
