Cloud Native Is Dead: Long live Container Native, Code First

TL;DR “Cloud‑native” has become a vibe, not a set of practices. Let’s bring CNCF back to containers and code, “Container Native, Code First” So What’s The CNCF? Depending on who you ask, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation is: Home of Kubernetes and hundreds of other tools A certification and training shop (CKA/CKAD) the Woodstock of tech conferences (KubeCon) Or the elephant everyone’s touching differently—governance, marketing, community, and even politics. In plain english, it’s a gathering of the biggest tech companies with shared interests steering open-source together for everything related to deployments in production by building a community ecosystem around them.

If it's not in git, it does not exist

It’s a protocol, a server, an architecture and above this, it’s an ecosystem.

Key takeaways from Devoxxma -- the edge conf

One month after its latest edition, I thought Devoxx Morocco deserved a special look back on 10 editions of slowly building a brand as the number one developer conference in MENA.

Here’s the gist of it, as we learned it the hard way on the course of 18 months in a previous PaaS startup. (Decision Maker) Recognize the need for change: Virtual Machines (VMs) have limitations and fixed costs. Containers provide infrastructure as code, traceability, and improved performance.
