So, the commoditization of on-demand and highly scalable virtual computing infrastructures, together with the rising popularity of "containerization" for app and service composition, seems to be creating an "orchestration crisis", or an "orchestration business opportunity," depending on your vantage point.
Are we about to see the emergence of what might be termed "new wave mainframe" computing?
- presspot 12y agoIt's very similar to mainframe computing, only now it's available to every business and, frankly, every business needs it to be competitive.
- superuser2 12y ago"Mainframe" implies sales guys and multi-million-dollar monolithic machines. This might be described as "DIY mainframe."
- randomsearch 12y ago> be creating an "orchestration crisis" Spot on, and very well put. The problem with existing orchestration tools, and tools like chef, puppet, etc. is that they're all a bit piecemeal and complicated. What we need is a step up the abstraction hierarchy, and some standardisation. We'll probably know when we've got there if companies no longer have any real idea of how many servers or VMs from different providers that they're utilising. They'll just know which applications they're running and how much it's costing them.
