The Role of Digital Twins in Unlocking the Cloud's Potential
This article explores the use of the DT concept as a new way to make cloud services more developer-friendly. This new model aligns the development, deployment, and now the runtime aspects of a microservice into a single, cohesive unit, bridging the gap between developers and the cloud and paving the way for a new era of cloud services.

A Recipe to Migrate and Scale Monoliths in the Cloud
In this article, I want to present a simple cloud architecture that can allow an organization to take monolithic applications to the cloud incrementally without a dramatic change in the architecture. We will discuss the minimal requirements and basic components to take advantage of the scalability of the cloud.

Reducing Cloud Infrastructure Complexity
Cloud computing adoption has taken the world by storm, and is accelerating unabated. According to Flexera’s annual State of the Cloud Report for 2020, 93% of respondents used multi or hybrid cloud strategies. This article examines different aspects of cloud infrastructure complexity, and approaches to mitigate it.

Containers in 2019: They're Calling it a [Hypervisor] Comeback
The 2019 news cycle within the "cloud native" corner of the world has been abuzz with a word previously thought outmoded by the rapid rise of containers: “hypervisor.” This article explores the motivations behind this, focusing on security, user experience, and isolation flexibility, and concludes by speculating on the future direction of development within the cloud and container industry.

Kubernetes Workloads in the Serverless Era: Architecture, Platforms, and Trends
Explore how microservices architecture has evolved into cloud-native architecture, where many of the infrastructure concerns are provided by Kubernetes in combination with additional abstractions provided by service mesh and serverless frameworks. In addition, the serverless ecosystem is evolving by exploring standard and open packaging, runtimes, and event formats.

Towards a Unified, Standard API for Consolidating Service Meshes
Service mesh architectures enable a control and observability loop. At the moment, service mesh implementations vary in regard to API and technology, and this shows no signs of slowing down. Building on top of volatile APIs can be hazardous. Here we suggest to use a simplified, workflow-friendly API to shield organization platform code from specific service-mesh implementation details.

Examining the Internals of a Serverless Platform: Moving towards a ‘Zero-Friction’ PaaS
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) architectures simplify how applications are deployed for developers, and serverless architecture or Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) is the next step in that direction. This article explores how serverless platforms are built, operated and leveraged for rapid application delivery. A conclusion of this work is that the serverless space is ripe for innovation.
