JBoss and Microsoft announced on September 27, 2005 that the two companies would work together to enhance interoperability between JEMS and Microsoft Windows Server products. While the announcement was just one among the many corporate tie-up news stories that have hit us of late, the dynamics relating to this one seem more complicated.
Here’s the lowdown on the partnership. In order to address the needs of their joint customers, JBoss and Microsoft have identified four key technology areas that they can focus on over the coming twelve months. These areas include: Security Interoperability, Web Services Interoperability, Manageability of JEMS environments using Microsoft Operations Manager, Optimized use of SQL Server for users of Hibernate and EJB 3.0
First of all, does the announcement mean that JBoss is no longer trying to compete with Microsoft (in addition to its ongoing competition with IBM and BEA)? According to Shaun Connolly (pictured), Vice President of Product Management for JBoss Inc., Microsoft and JBoss share a large footprint of installed users who run JEMS on Microsoft Windows. The companies believe that the optimal environment for innovation is the coexistence of OSS and commercial software within the greater software ecosystem. This ecosystem has sustained innovation for decades through an ongoing cycle of interactions among organizations and individuals working with software. Both commercial software and OSS offer specific advantages, and several development models can and should coexist in healthy competition.
So doesn’t this look like Microsoft is leaning towards changing its stance on open source software? Strange though it may seem, the intent of this alliance is not an inlet for MS into the OSS arena. On the contrary, the companies believe that commercial software and OSS offer specific advantages, and both models can and should coexist in healthy competition.
Now this points to a conflict of interests between the 2 companies, but it isn’t. Microsoft remains 100% focused on .Net as its strategic development platform. Microsoft is not promoting Java as a platform of choice in this announcement.

DevOps with IBMz? You heard right. Maybe you're wondering what a developer can do to speed up the entire development cycle--coding, testing, source code management, and deployment-? In this session you will learn about how to integrate z application assets into a DevOps pipeline using familiar tools like Jenkins and UrbanCode Deploy, plus z/OSMF workflows, all of which can increase deployment speeds while simultaneously improving reliability. You will also learn how to provision mainframe system as cloud-like service.
As software becomes more and more complex, we, as software developers, have been splitting up our code into smaller and smaller components. This is also true for the environment in which we run our code: going from bare metal, to VMs to the modern-day Cloud Native world of containers, schedulers and micro services. While we have figured out how to run containerized applications in the cloud using schedulers, we've yet to come up with a good solution to bridge the gap between getting your containers from your laptop to the cloud.
How do we build software for containers? How do we ship containe...

Containerized software is riding a wave of growth, according to latest RightScale survey. At Sematext we see this growth trend via our Docker monitoring adoption and via Sematext Docker Agent popularity on Docker Hub, where it crossed 1M+ pulls line. This rapid rise of containers now makes Docker the top DevOps tool among those included in RightScale survey. Overall Docker adoption surged to 35 percent, while Kubernetes adoption doubled, going from 7% in 2016 to 14% percent.
Modern software design has fundamentally changed how we manage applications, causing many to turn to containers as the new virtual machine f...
