Earlier this year we released our report on the cost of cloud. Through this white paper we discovered the complexities of cloud costs for businesses and alternatives beyond the hyperscalers. This white paper saw 1,000 cloud developers surveyed about the management of their cloud services, and the degree of costs associated with it. From this analysis, we were able to come up with 5 key takeaways outlining the degree to which hyperscalers are overpromising and under-delivering.

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation published their Annual Report for 2021 which outlines the past year and what can be expected in the upcoming 6 months. Community leaders and 62,000 contributors on GitHub came together to report on initiatives and updates to create CNCF’s second annual report. So, here are the important updates from the Kubernetes Annual Report that we think you need to know.

Cloud technology, and applications running in the cloud, are becoming more and more common. With this rise in cloud computing, application development has needed to change as well, resulting in what can be called the cloud-native approach to software development. In this article, you will learn all about cloud-native technology and how cloud-native companies approach building their applications.

In May, we hosted our first in-person community meetup speaking about all things Kubernetes. Community members came and engaged in cloud-native discussions with talks from Saiyam Pathak, Kunal Kushwaha, Josh Van Leeuwen, and Walid Shaari. We also featured in ZDNet’s article on the four-day work week which includes an interview with Mark Boost, CEO at Civo. This outlined how employees have attained a better work-life balance with the change as well as why the decision was made.
