The big opportunities in serverless computing

Source – venturebeat.com Serverless computing is a type of cloud service where the hosting provider allocates adequate resources for you on the fly rather than making you pay for dedicated servers or capacity in advance. It’s a major technological breakthrough, and we expect to see a significant inflection point soon in this nascent market. Serverless computing is the next phase in the evolution of IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service). It completely abstracts the underlying infrastructure from developers and essentially virtualizes runtime and operational management.

WHY DEVOPS AND THE CLOUD ARE IMPORTANT TOGETHER

Source – datacenterjournal.com The defining characteristic of software is that it’s soft. For an example, let’s contrast the flip phone with the smartphone. If you wanted to change the color of a flip-phone key, which is a physical piece of molded plastic, you would need to change the manufacturing process. From idea to market implementation, it would take weeks—if not months. A smartphone, however, displays its keys using software, and that scope of change is just one line in a configuration

Immutable infrastructure can ease agencies into agile, DevOps

Source – wtop.com Automation is a key technology helping IT organizations deploy, take apart, and reload technologies into production without human intervention.
