Beyond Container Orchestration | PaaS Is Full Choreography

November 25, 2014 by Krishnan Subramanian Leave a Comment

When I talk to end users in my role as industry observer, I see confusion between container orchestration and PaaS.

DevOps, PaaS and Modern IT

June 17, 2014 by Krishnan Subramanian Leave a Comment

Introduction One of the biggest selling points of cloud is agility. Cloud on it’s own doesn’t make organizations agile.

Going Beyond Config Management Tools For DevOps

March 28, 2014 by Krishnan Subramanian Leave a Comment

Scaling Infrastructure Alone Doesn’t Maketh Platform

January 10, 2014 by Krishnan Subramanian Leave a Comment

October 30, 2013 by Krishnan Subramanian Leave a Comment

PaaS and DevOps are much discussed topics these days in meetups and conferences around the world.
