Digital Transformation Made Possible by Containers, Cloud Native Apps


Standard infrastructure enables:Rapid iterationDisruption of competitorsDeployment flexibility

To remain competitive:Embrace standardized infrastructure Modernize apps application Embrace DevOps, priv/pub cloud

DX Supply, Demand Pressures DivergeBuyer Side Pressures/Challenges Vendor Pressures/Challenges

New competitors emerging and disrupting business as usual

New startups don’t buy IT, don’t buy software; instead are writing their code and running it in cloud from day 1

Legacy IT still must be supported, and will remain a burden for the foreseeable future

Legacy IT will continue to be a cash cow, but that cash will be needed to help fund a transition to 3 rd Platform compute

Cutting edge talent is hard to find and retain Cutting edge talent is hard to find and retain for vendors, too

On-premises IT investments are becoming more difficult to justify

Generic cloud hosting services is ultimately a race to zero. The value add comes from software services

Technologies emerging faster than can be understood, implemented, and provide a ROI

New technologies emerge, but often today are open source based and provide little revenue opportunity

Installed apps generally tied to their host; new apps typically have few or no dependencies

Operating systems losing their differentiation; Linux and Windows increasingly close; Linux distro differences fading

Linux fought a long battle to open the door

Open source crossed a midpoint and is becoming relevant or dominant in many market segments

“Open source first” is increasingly the approach that users and vendors

Even Microsoft is favorable to open source today

Enterprises Prefer Commercialized Open Source Products Technologies


Q: Rank order your organization’s preferences for sourcing options that will be used to acquire DevOps enabling technologies over the next two years with 1 as the most preferred type


Applications Become the Pivot Point

Linux apps stay on Linux

Windows apps stay on Windows

• Starting points dictate end points

• Apps divide into “legacy” & “cloud-native” apps

• Could native apps will emerge as the new battleground

• Cloud Native and open source are tightly intertwined

Smaller enterprises more likely to think workloads are not suited for DevOps

Largest orgs most likely to suffer from fragmented processes

Container and Orchestration Observations Cloud SPs already have substantial experience with containers, and some

have been using them for years Most enterprises are dabbling in containers and cloud native applications;

orchestration often not used or an afterthought Much lift-and-shift happening today, and obviously the need to orchestrate

containerized monolithic apps is lower <10% of enterprise containers in use orchestration to manage scale and

performance But by 2020, more than 50% of enterprise containers will rely on

commercially supported orchestration technologies Ultimately, we expect most cloud native apps to run in containers and be

orchestrated by solutions like Kubernetes


Essential Guidance Open source software is increasingly the foundation on which both

services and commercial products are based

Darwinism has not yet fully played out in the container orchestration market; is there really room for 3 (or more) major container orchestration engines?

Development of containerized apps still in infancy among large organizations; but adoption will become strong

Most existing apps won’t be replaced/rebuilt; rather will be augmented and extended using cloud native apps

Mix of on-prem/cloud deployments for years to come

We will see a scale-out and regulatory insensitive apps gravitate to public cloud infrastructure
