Cloud Misc
Various cloud-related tiems.
Knative: Knative allows to push code directly onto a Kubernetes cluster so that it will be compiled and matched with its dependencies automatically (similarly to PCF’s build packs). It is also described as a means to provide FaaS capabilities to Kubernentes.
SwiftStack: SwiftStack helps create a hybrid pool of storage consisting of local resources and public cloud storage such as Amazon S3 and/or Google Cloud Storage.
Grafana: Grafana is primarily a dashboard to query, visualise and alert metrics (e.g. PagerDuty) from various sources such as Prometheus, CloudWatch and so on.
Cattle vs Pets: A metaphor by Bill Baker, former Microsoft employee that says that servers in a scale-out system should be like cattle: you number them and when they get sick, you shoot them rather than pets: You name them and when they get sick, your nurse them back to health.
Serverless Framework: The Serverless Framework has the objective of writing Cloud vendor-agnostic serverless applications. To achieve this purpose, it provides a declarative language similar to AWS SAM (which is then translated to the vendor’s proprietary declaration scheme), an event gateway, and a dashboard.
