Containers Alone Aren’t Enough…

Unit of Value

IaaS == Virtual Machine

Opaque to the system

Orchestration is post-hoc

System changes are

imperative (“launch” stuff)

PaaS == Application

Containers are transparent

Lifecycle is fully managed

System changes are

declarative (manifest.yml)

Why IT loves Open Source Software

NOT Because:

They want to change it (because most users won't)

They think that software should be cheap or free.

But, BECAUSE:

Open Source processes force agile development.

Healthy OSS community guarantees multiple vendors.
