The buzz around containerization and microservices architectures is well-deserved. As highlighted in my recent interview with John Verry of The Virtual CISO Podcast: https://lnkd.in/eRjq-mtc, these approaches are fundamentally changing how we build and deploy applications. By breaking down monolithic applications into smaller, independent services, containerization ushers in an era of unprecedented scalability, agility, and resilience. But what does this mean for the future of application development? Here's my take: ➡ Rise of the Microservices Architect: The ability to design and manage these distributed systems will become a critical skill for developers. We'll see a surge in demand for microservices architects who can orchestrate these intricate service interactions. ➡ DevOps Transformation: The siloed approach of development and operations will continue to crumble. DevOps engineers who understand both sides of the coin will be highly sought-after to ensure seamless development, deployment, and management of containerized applications. ➡ Focus on Automation: Automation will be key to managing the complexities of containerized deployments. Proficiency in tools like Kubernetes and container orchestration platforms will become a must-have for DevOps teams. By embracing these trends and fostering the right skillsets within our teams, we can unlock the true potential of this transformative technology. #Kubernetes #KubernetesSecurity #DevSecOps #Containers

I measure the value of conference by two measures - learning and networking. Days 0 and 1 of Microsoft Ignite were a success by both measures. Satya Nadella kicked off the Day 1 keynote with announcements for several technologies - whether desktop, infrastructure, cloud, artificial intelligence, or big data. Highlighting security all along the way. The most beneficial sessions from the remainder of Day 1 focused on the expanding capabilities of Microsoft Purview (both for Copilot & ChatGPT) and improvements in Defender for attack path mapping to aid in Continuous Exposure Management. From a networking perspective on both days, I had the opportunity to catch up with Paul Goldney and the team from Wizard Cyber. We've identified capabilities to explore such as Microsoft Cloud PC and fully leveraging Purview to protect Copilot. Overall, a success so far. If you're at Ignite, tag me on LinkedIn. I'd like to say hi in between learning sessions.
