Kubernetes is essential to modern application development and runtime. As a powerful container orchestration platform, its benefits include improved scalability, portability, and automation, all of which contribute to more resilient applications and cost savings. More and more organizations are adopting Kubernetes to develop applications that can scale, recover from failures, and quickly adapt to changing business requirements.

OpenStack is no doubt a wonderful and successful piece of software. It allows you to create your own cloud infrastructure, and thanks to its open-source nature, it’s free to use for everyone. But as with many giant software projects, all that power comes with a challenge: it is reasonably complex to install and configure.

The Docker project was initiated by dotCloud, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) company that created Docker to run their internal infrastructure.

Docker provides easy-to-use tooling and grew into an entire ecosystem for container management.

The platform development team at Endeavor Streaming has a critical mission — from balancing operation of the company’s leading digital video platform, at scale, to ensuring everything in their complex cloud environment is performing as expected.

Recently, our team at Meteksan Defense is upgrading its development environment to use newer versions of many tools and programming languages. One of the more difficult transitions has been the upgrade of our C++11 code base to C++17 for our embedded applications. In this article, I will be showing some features of C++17 that can also be helpful in the embedded world. Note that the migration from C++11 to C++17 covers C++14 also, hence I will touch upon some aspects of it as well.
