**Enterprise software has undergone a slow shift from containerless
|
|
servers to serverless containers.**
|
|
|
|
The evolution of the cloud, combined with the shift to increasingly
|
|
ephemeral infrastructure, and the connection of application code and
|
|
infrastructure code, demands a different view of cloud development and
|
|
devops.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To a first approximation, all developers are cloud developers, all
|
|
applications are cloud native, and all operations are cloud-first. Yet,
|
|
there is a lack of a consistent approach to delivering cloud native
|
|
applications and infrastructure. The tools and processes differ by
|
|
technology generation, and even by cloud vendor, and so deny the full
|
|
potential of cloud native application delivery.
|
|
|
|
In our latest white paper,
|
|
[Delivering Cloud Native Infrastructure as Code](/whitepapers/delivering-cloud-native-infrastructure-as-code/),
|
|
we make the case for a consistent programming model for the cloud and examine:
|
|
|
|
- How the cloud has already evolved three times as it increasingly
|
|
moves toward stateless compute to deliver on the opportunities
|
|
afforded by unprecedented economies of scope and scale.
|
|
- How stateless compute has shifted infrastructure management concerns
|
|
from 'at rest' to 'in motion', and moved these concerns up the stack
|
|
to development.
|
|
- How the growth of DSL-based tools has lead to complexity for DevOps
|
|
teams, failed to deliver on the promised collaboration between
|
|
development and operations functions, and does not satisfy the need
|
|
for increasing delivery speed in the cloud.
