8/6/2023 0 Comments The next paradigm shiftOur infrastructure is changing and what this means is that providers can potentially slow down their costs for hardware upgrades by making the existing infrastructure more efficient which, in turn, means that consumers may also see a slower increase of cost over time as well. This potentially a game changer and something to watch for the future. Microsoft is now muscling into the game in a major way with the support of a major new development community. Traditionally Linux has dominated this arena. This, in and of itself, is also a paradigm shift in infrastructure thinking. Microsoft and Docker recently have recently announced a collaborative effort to natively integrate Docker into the new Windows Server 2016 platform. Previously I had written about Microsoft’s new love affair with Linux. These companies are now offering their own mainstream containerization systems and advertising them to the IT masses constantly. Some of the largest tech companies in Silicon Valley either specialize in virtualization or have entire divisions focused on offering virtualization alongside their other products. ![]() More and more infrastructure began converting to this system and I cannot go to a conference focusing on infrastructure for the cloud that doesn’t have presentations, classes or sessions on containers.Ĭontainers are the quintessential paradigm shift because virtualization has been around years and has been considered the gold standard for server and application hosting. Once the average infrastructure admin was able to create their own free container system and see the benefits, containerization caught on like wildfire. ![]() In a nutshell, containers optimize infrastructure server hosting with a much different approach than traditional virtualization allowing existing infrastructure to be used in a much more efficient way.Ĭontainers have been around for some time now, Google’s Kubernetes has been around for years, but in the last two years or so we’ve seen an absolute explosion in containerization thanks to startup rock stars like Docker. I love me some containers! If you’d like an excellent primer on containerization and how it differs from virtualization, I highly recommend you read Curtis Peterson’s excellent article on the subject. Containerization: Not Your Mama’s Virtual Server Previously, I wrote an article about why IT professionals may disagree with each other and one of the primary reasons is that many IT professionals may not be keeping up with more recent changes and approaches to how technology can be applied and secured.įollowing along these lines, here are a few major paradigm shifts technology has taken in recent years and why they are so important to the future of our computing experience. So, it’s in this vein that we consider how the technology industry is perpetually going through paradigm shifts with increasing frequency. We can almost reinvent ourselves time and again if we’re willing to be open to concepts and ideas. We believe one thing to be true, but with new information gathered and embraced, our view of the world can change to become a new reality. Paradigm shifts happen to most of us throughout our lives.
