Keeping cloud-native DevOps from spinning out of control

Source – siliconangle.com Cloud-native computing environments tend to become frightfully difficult to build, provision, monitor and control. This is especially true as more containerized apps are pushed into more distributed clusters that are running on more complex multiclouds. These environments are also quite fragile, as new containerized apps carry compliance risks and may, if they run afoul of complex dependencies, disrupt interoperability to legacy apps and infrastructure. Lessening these burdens and mitigating these risks is central to the jobs of DevOps

5 open source frameworks for serverless computing
