Understanding the Future of the Data Center Edge

Dzone - DevOps

With the adoption of Kubernetes and microservices, the edge has evolved from simple hardware load balancers to a full stack of hardware and software proxies that comprise API Gateways, content delivery networks, and load balancers. The Early Internet and Load Balancers.

Massive Scale Visibility Challenges Inside Hyperscale Data Centers

Kentik

Hyperscale data centers achieve massive scale by racking and stacking cost-effective, commodity hardware platforms like those specified by the Open Compute Project. In a classic three-tier data center, traffic flows predominantly “north-south” from the ingress/egress point through load balancers, web servers and application servers.

Serverless in 2019: From ‘Hello World’ to ‘Hello Production’

Stacks on Stacks

They’ll rail against costs (“At 100% utilization, it’s cheaper to run our hardware”), and they’ll scream about how dumb the name “serverless” is (you’ve probably gathered that I actually agree with this one). and patching, and scaling, and load-balancing, and orchestrating, and deploying, and… the list goes on!

Building Cloud Native Data Apps on Premises

Cloudera

According to Cloud Native Computing Foundation ( CNCF ), cloud native applications use an open source software stack to deploy applications as microservices, packaging each part into its own containers, and dynamically orchestrating those containers to optimize resource utilization. What is cloud native exactly?
