Cloud-native computing has exploded onto the enterprise IT scene over the last few years.
Kubernetes, the popular open source container orchestration platform, may have been the tinder that set this conflagration into motion, but cloud-native goes well beyond Kubernetes, or any single technology.
Fundamentally, cloud-native means extending the goodness of the cloud to all of IT, including the benefits of massive scalability, resilience, configuration-driven infrastructure, self-service management and control, and all the various other advantages that we’ve come to appreciate in the cloud.
All of that goodness – to all of IT. Hybrid IT. Edge computing. Architecture and applications. Security. The whole kit and caboodle.
Complexity be damned.
To be sure, cloud-native computing is vastly complicated, but it doesn’t have to be, well, messy. To implement cloud-native well, organizations must take a cogent architectural approach to instituting comprehensive abstractions that mask the underlying complexity of the infrastructure, while providing a seamless, flexible ability to deploy and run applications across the entire IT landscape.
But it’s still not easy – especially at scale. The first of cloud-native’s biggest challenges, perhaps, is getting your head around the whole thing.
Cloud-native computing requires a rethink of every aspect of enterprise IT, a true paradigm shift in how businesses leverage technology to meet customer needs.

One of the top priorities industry veteran Ayman Sayed brought to enterprise software vendor BMC Software upon taking the helm in 2019 was to instill a corporate vision across the 39-year-old company.
The result: The Autonomous Digital Enterprise (ADE), a vision BMC, its customers, and any enterprise should follow to become a stronger digital business.
According to BMC, an ADE will achieve measurable results in the areas of agility, customer centricity, and actionable insights through five technology enablers: transcendent customer experience, automation everywhere, adaptive security, data-driven business, and enterprise DevOps (see the figure).
This comprehensive vision for enterprise IT over the next... [Read more] | |

At Intellyx, we like to point out that today’s digital transformation differs from the business transformation fads of the past because it has no end state. There’s no time when organizations can sit back and say that they are digitally transformed. Instead, digital transformation recognizes that change is ongoing, expected, and never-ending.
Furthermore, digital transformation consists of customer-driven change, and the quantity and pace of such change will itself continue to increase as long as the enterprise’s underlying technology is up to the task.
Dealing with change, therefore, is job #1 for IT shops of digitally transforming organizations – and such change is always accelerating.
For these reasons, we say that to succeed with digital transformation, organizations must... [Read more] | |

The notion of digital transformation still has plenty of gas left in the tank. Companies taking on digital transformation initiatives are making great improvements by using technology as a strategic lever to orient every aspect of their business to serving customer and constituent needs.
Soon enough though, the term will encompass everything businesses do — because companies that fail to change will cease to exist. At that point, digital transformation will start looking more like a clown car than a chariot through the clouds to a better tomorrow.
This inevitable crowding effect always leads me to think about what’s next in the queue of essential but vague technology initiatives.
Perhaps the self-driving business (or SDB) will be our ride to... [Read more] | |

The 3 C’s
Cost Benefits are derived from the ability for experienced developers to create applications quickly without having to code from scratch. In the field it is known as abstraction, and is key to future proofing application. An application that is future proof saves you time now, and later over its life by requiring less rework. Abstraction allows the underlying technology to change while the... [Read more] | |

...In a blog post on the SilverPeaks website, industry analyst Jason Bloomberg wrote: “VPNs provide a secure point-to-point connection between the user’s device and the corporate network, but don’t provide direct access to any cloud-based apps or other assets. VPNs can also be difficult to use, and they don’t provide adequate QoS [quality of service] controls. The most obvious cause is family contention over bandwidth.”... [Read more]

I was recently speaking with my daughter, who works for the largest book distributor in the United States. She was concerned that her office was beginning to reopen and that they might try to force her to go back to the office soon. “I’m so much more productive at home, dad,” she lamented. I chuckled as I imagined them trying to pry her from home after she’s proven that there’s not a need to do so.
Around the world, the jig is up. Long-standing tropes about remote work being unproductive or inhibiting collaboration are now ringing hollow. But more importantly, the fact that they’ve been proven to be so spectacularly wrong is now calling into question every other long-held... [Read more] | |

Whynde Kuehn interviews Charles Araujo, Industry Analyst, Author, and founder of The Institute for Digital Transformation
The New Digital Experience Supply Chain – and How It Will Transform Everything The supply chain defined the Industrial Era. To create value it was all about optimizing how you marketed, produced, delivered, administered, and supported a mass product as you served a mass market. But in the digital era, this equation has been turned upside down. Creating value in this tumultuous time isn’t about the supply chain — but about optimizing the customer experience, which is increasingly digital. To do so, organizations will need a new type of supply chain — one that helps them curate and optimize the delivery of a customer experience that will deliver differentiating value in a fast-moving and hyper-competitive market... | |
