GitHub and Stack Overflow do not represent a true picture of the world’s developers because not everyone uses these sites. Twenty-one percent of active GitHub users are in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and a 50,000+ person StackOverflow survey reported 22 percent of respondents coming from […]
The headline is a bit sarcastic, but the concern is real. If you use containers, then you’re likely to believe container orchestrators are a viable alternative to your current private cloud or PaaS platform. According to a survey of container users (by 451 Research, on behalf of CoreOS), 80 […]
Since NGINX is deployed most often on Datadog customers’ Docker containers, we thought it appropriate to use the chart above as a “proxy” for the cloud-native world. From this perspective, all the top technologies are open source, and most of them support data and messaging infrastructure. Interestingly, every […]
Heavy Reading just released a survey saying 98 percent of telecom operators are at least somewhat satisfied with OPNFV. Wow, OPNFV must be kicking butt! Maybe, but that data point doesn’t prove it. Looking at the question’s wording, it asks if the project is helping accelerate open […]
Fifty-one percent of open source developers are required to provide personal or work information online as part of their job. Sixty-one percent say people should be able to contribute code without attribution to remain anonymous. These are findings from a recently released survey of over 5,000 GitHub users. Still […]
If you’ve never used Apache Kafka you would think it’s a magical Excelsior because it’s applied to many different situations. Even people with hands-on experience argue about how to classify it. Is it for pub-sub and messaging, and thus comparable to RabbitMQ? In Confluent’s recent survey of […]
Automation did not originate with Henry Ford’s assembly line. Automation will not end with voice-enabled, machine-learning chatbots supporting ITSM. Automation is evolutionary. Even though time savings are real, every few months it’s important to throw cold water on optimistic expectations. A recent blog by HfS Research CEO Phil […]
Since our new Kubernetes survey borrows a couple of questions from Justin Garrison’s recent survey, we are highlighting one of Garrison’s findings — with the usual caveat that a web survey’s sample should not be extrapolated to the larger market. The survey found that most people (78 percent) still use configuration […]
Infrastructure code needs the same best practices used with application code, but as Dawn Foster told TNS readers, buggy software is foiling dreams of infrastructure-as-code. A recent survey by Justin Garrison, a systems engineer at Walt Disney Animation Studios, sheds light on how often continuous delivery and unit testing […]
Hybrid cloud may mean a lot of things, but what does it mean for interoperability? Only 15 percent expect to primarily use hybrid cloud, according to a survey earlier this year by 451 Research and Microsoft. Another 25 percent plan to be able to migrate workloads or data between […]
Several studies that show large drops in “private cloud” deal with preferences for future cloud development and not the actual percentage of current workloads being managed. Our analysis shows that adoption of private clouds has actually increased.
Some people think OpenStack is facing an existential crisis. The OpenStack Foundation’s latest User Survey reported its lowest Net Promoter Score (NPS) in two years. Many sessions at the upcoming OpenStack Summit in Boston will focus on the latest open source darling, Kubernetes. This does not mean OpenStack […]
