For starters unlike Hugo you don’t have to install 1MB

"This is where the Red Hat acquisition comes in: while IBM will certainly be happy to have the company’s cash-generating RHEL subscription business, the real prize is Openshift, a software suite for building and managing Kubernetes containers."

Small problem with that. Most of the progressive enterprises are trying to move AWAY from containers to fully serverless architectures (Lambda, Google functions, Azure, etc.)

Kubernetes is still hot but the momentum is definitely with Lambda and its ilk.

I'm a consultant who works with enterprises of all sizes (all sizes that could still be considered "enterprise" sized at least) and I've only encountered one that has used anything serverless, and then only in one production application. And I touch basically every IT application/environment across the entire business.

Now I don't want to say my experience is perfectly indicative of what big companies are doing in general, but I certainly haven't noticed this trend. Even containers are just starting to catch on in the enterprise market, and a lot of enterprise software doesn't currently support containerization.

I was an enterprise consultant, and I'll vouch for your experiences. It's moving in that direction, but it's a few years out of what people think.

Like, hdfs is far more common now. Technology starts at the larger companies, and trickles down over time.

We actually have serverless, that's called cgi scripts. Very stable and proven technology.

But for some reasons, nobody try to use that anymore or even think of it.

Enterprises moving to serverless are rare. Many still struggle to move off dedicated infrastructure or mainframes.

And serverless is a risky bet, anyway - vendor lock in, costs and security being important concerns.

That's not how Internet works. At all. Please stop spreading this misinformation.

Your post totally ignores peering agreements and interconnects that are key to understanding this issue.

Peering agreements and interconnects are the ISP's problem, not the customers'.

Convince the team to switch to Agile Kanban. Now you can work on your card as long as you need to. Problem solved. :)

Agile Scrum is not the only way to do Agile.

As a huge proponent of all things ESB related, I can confidently say that ESB is dead.

This is very unfortunate because I think we still need a way to do cross service mediation, process orchestration, etc.

That said, you will not see any new deployments utilizing an ESB. The fact that all open-source ESB projects are essentially abandon ware tells you all you need to know.

Yea, its sad cause you have this cool middleware that can do so many things with the whole EIP theory and all the premade plugins.

What is eating this guys lunch really? and I think there is a void there somewhere thats not nicely filled currently. Some pain points that are exposed because of its demise. Thoughts?

Maybe but OpEx is tax deductible. CapEx is not.

Huh? You deduct CapEx cost over the depreciation period (server hardware is usually 3-5 years). Not sure what you mean by "CapEx is not".

CapEx is deductible over the amortization period.

I am pretty sure if they desire they can convert CapEx into OpEx.

Sure, if they sell the storage system to someone and arrange a leaseback.

That's how Microsoft manages its campus real estate. :-)

Nearly every company does that. It's amazing how little many companies actually own. I've worked in offices where everything from building over furniture to even the plants was leased. The company ran with close to zero assets (services business). Pretty sure that this wouldn't make any sense if it wasn't for tax purposes.

and that someone can be their own subsidiary in a jurisdiction with dif. tax treatment

Can be within the same taxing authority. I've facilitated facility transfers and leaseback agreements in the US.

Edit: Yes, you can't seize what isn't owned.

You also can't silently seize what is owned. Which is, generally speaking, the bigger issue.

I would also guess you could also shield assets this way from lawsuits etc

what would be super cool if given AWS credentials, it'll auto draw the diagram for you?

The tool is awesome, btw! Thank you VERY MUCH.

This technique is known as RLNC. It works quite well but it's not the only optimal erasure code, there are others.

Unfortunately, RLNC implementations are patent-encumbered in the US, so good luck using this "simple" linear algebra.
