Pharmaceutical companies are witnessing a shift in the way they function where innovative products, beyond the pill concepts, automated machine systems, etc. are defining new boundaries. Eroom’s law acknowledges the fact which states the cost and time taken to develop a new drug almost doubles every nine years.

With the adoption of Agile methodology, it is expected to add new features quickly to an application or product. However, if the process of moving from Dev > Test > Stage > Prod is taking weeks or months – then you have a problem at hand (big or small, varies on the type of app/product). Customer will be demanding new features and the development team will be able to build/ create them quickly, which is a good thing!

AWS re:Invent 2018, one of the biggest cloud events of the year is less than a week away and we are all super excited to attend it. In its 7th edition this year, around 40,000+ attendees are expected in Las Vegas to attend dozens of keynotes, sessions, and workshops. With every passing year, AWS has come up with new technology and concepts that have modernized the grounds of the cloud ecosystem.

Red Hat OpenShift container platform enables enterprise/start-ups to develop, deploy, and manage existing container applications on-premise or in the cloud. Organizations can make use of proven, efficient, and powerful open-source technologies to create and deploy applications that are secured, scalable, highly available with minimal management and configuration.

Today, around 20% of total applications in a large to medium size enterprise are cloud-native. Assuming 10% cannot be moved to Cloud, there are roughly 70% apps still sitting in a Data Center. CIOs are mandating these 70% apps to be moved to cloud. Application migration to the cloud is either manual or automated. Manual takes time and effort to make changes to the code and deploying them on cloud (after testing it inside out).

Lately, the public cloud services market has created one of the biggest disruptions in the tech market. In fact, as per Forrester Data, public cloud services forecasted a 22% CAGR in the public cloud market from 2016 to 2020. In addition, Gartner projected the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to grow 35.9% by end of 2018 to reach $40.8 billion. Looking at the potential of the cloud market and the benefits associated, right now would be the apt time to migrate from monolithic to the cloud.

Enterprise IT and ISV developers are intrigued by technology benefits of containers and Kubernetes. However, when they go with a recommendation to their senior management to containerize applications, one question is asked – Why do we need to containerize? Didn’t we rehost our application to the cloud?

In the last few years, the primitive and conservative world is vanishing. In its place is emerging new world whose base is science and technology. The DevOps community has been flourished due to microservices and containerization-based architecture. According to 451 Research, container technology such as Docker and Kubernetes will eventually face the fastest growth in contrast with other cloud-enabling technologies, with an estimated CAGR of 40% through 2020.

Lately, IT teams are looking for Docker monitoring tools as legacy products like cAdvisor and Sysdig cloud do not offer greater insights. Docker monitoring needs a crucial change in the way your agents, plug-ins, and monitoring works to support containers. Many enterprises have started deploying significant production workloads on Docker, it seems there is a substantial shift towards adopting Docker.
