Developing Cloud Applications Must Play by the Rules -- All 12 of Them
At the opening keynote speech on the first day of Cloud Expo in a dreary, rainy New York, IBM's Michael Maximilien wasted no time in putting attendees on notice, reminding them that the goals of developing cloud applications must go beyond scalability to encompass other traits that include framework and cloud platform agnosticism, application self-healing and isolation.
Maximilien, who is IBM's chief architect for cloud innovations and often referred to as "Dr. Max," also discussed the 12 key characteristics that IT professionals developing cloud applications must consider.
Scalability, Maximilien said, should be automatic, allowing applications to allocate resources and replicate containerized microservices as necessary without administrative involvement. Those applications should also be self-healing, enabling them to automatically restart and recover after a crash, again, without IT staff intervention.
Finally, developing cloud applications should be framework-agnostic, allowing them to ultimately run anywhere -- on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform or IBM's own SoftLayer infrastructure, which now forms the core of IBM's Bluemix platform. Isolation comes into play as a method of keeping application instances separate, ensuring a business's data cannot be accessed by competitors running instances of the same as-a-service application.

With major technology companies and startups seriously embracing Cloud strategies, now is the perfect time to attend 21st Cloud Expo, October 31 - November 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, CA, and June 12-14, 2018, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY, and learn what is going on, contribute to the discussions, and ensure that your enterprise is on the right path to Digital Transformation.

The most powerful business benefit for large enterprise organizations migrating to the Cloud is the modernization of their legacy applications.
For example in Canada legacy woes contribute to a perception IT is just there as a maintenance function, not to add strategic value, meaning that they find themselves too busy to innovate.
As Gartner described Canadian CIO’s face a scenario where there is lower buy in to the value of technology and thus a perception it is more of an operational cost no...
Two apparently distinct movements are in the process of disrupting the world of enterprise application development: DevOps and Low-Code.
DevOps is a cultural and organizational shift that empowers enterprise software teams to deliver better software quicker – in particular, hand-coded software.
Low-Code platforms, in contrast, provide a technology platform and visual tooling that empower enterprise software teams to deliver better software quicker -- with little or no hand-coding required.

Everyone could agree that silos created unnecessary separation, protectionism, and bureaucracy. No one would dare argue that having rigid silos were somehow good for the organization.
Silos were, therefore, the easy target. They became the mantle onto which leaders could lay all past transgressions, and, in so doing, they became a convenient artifice to allow the leader to proclaim the dawn of a new era of integration, collaboration, and communication.
Silos are dead!
Except they never quite...
Because security is an increasing concern for developers, a new movement is emerging, known as DevSecOps, which encourages developers to bring security and standards to the forefront while building applications. That means there's good reason to stay on top of security information and event management trends and best practices, as well as the solutions that support it. With that in mind, let's take a look at how it works, benefits for developers, and why it matters.
‘Trend’ is a pretty common business term, but its definition tends to vary by industry. In performance monitoring, trend, or trend shift, is a key metric that is used to indicate change.
Change is inevitable. Today’s websites must frequently update and change to keep up with competition and attract new users, but such changes can have a negative impact on the user experience if not managed properly. The dynamic nature of the Internet makes it necessary to constantly monitor different metrics. O...
Over the last several months, intent-based networking (IBNS) has gained momentum as a newly viable technology that aims to further automate traditional network management.

What is intent-based networking?
Traditionally, network administrators manually translate business policies into network device configurations, a time-int...
