Our guest on the podcast this week is JP Morgenthal, Global Solutions Executive at CSC. We discuss the architecture of microservices and how to overcome the challenge of making different tools work together. We learn about the importance of hiring engineers who can compose services into an integrated system.

How APIs Make or Break Success in the Digital World By @RyanPinkham | @CloudExpo #Cloud
The State of API 2016 Report revealed some important findings about the growth, opportunities, challenges, and processes for the API industry in 2016.
Among our most revealing findings, we discovered:
Growth in the industry: 1 in 5 respondents began developing APIs in the last two years alone.
Mobile and IoT are fueling growth: 54% of API providers expect mobile to drive the most growth; 44% expect IoT to drive the most growth.
Concerns over security: Security is the #1 challenge API providers want to see solved, with 41% of providers citing security as a top challenge.
Focus on quality: 85% of respondents say that API quality is either very important or extremely important to their organization.
You can find these findings and more of the key takeaways from the State of API 2016 Report in the infographic below. You’ll also find high profile examples of how the findings of the report have already played out in the real world for companies like Netflix, Salesforce, Amazon, and Facebook.

It’s That Darned Web Developer Guy! By @JasonRahm | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Back in October, my son’s robotics team said “Hey! You work for a software company, can you build us an application that will help us with scouting and competitions?” Foolishly, ego stepped in before a careful outsourced review of my existing skills could take place, so I said “Sure! Not a web developer, but how hard could it be?”
Seriously… how hard could this be? I see web application traffic all the time. On the wire. And I can even manipulate that traffic at the protocol level and do amazing things with it programmatically. But…changing application traffic in flight is not development of that application. Nor is it an understanding of all the considerations one must evaluate and handle to get from idea to solution. So yeah, it is hard. Dang hard. Actually, getting to a dynamic web experience «hello world” is easy, but getting to a working application? Not so easy. Or quick. And rightfully so. Skills take time to master, and mastery unlocks new levels with which to master.
Hybrid Cloud Study | @CloudExpo @IBMCAI #Cloud #BigData #IoT #API
Two-thirds of organizations implementing hybrid cloud report they’re already gaining competitive advantage from their hybrid environments and are nearly three times as likely to use it to assemble data assets or monetize data, according to findings released by IBM (NYSE: IBM).
With a hybrid cloud approach, organizations can be selective about when to use cloud and when to use traditional IT infrastructure – delivering the best functionality while meeting speed and flexibility needs, as well as resiliency, security and regulatory requirements.
IoT Security: Five Fundamentals | @ThingsExpo #BigData #IoT #IIoT #M2M
A key and wide-ranging tech trend that’s affecting enterprises and consumers alike is the Internet of Things (IoT). It’s a development that’s already transforming how we work and live as entrepreneurial minds continue to create use cases for billions of connected things.
Transformations of this magnitude come with growing pains. Gartner recently revealed unexpected implications arising from the IoT, pointing out that by 2020, firms will have increased annual security budgets by 20 percent (up from less than one percent in 2015) in order to address security compromises in the IoT. Even more disturbing is that Gartner expects that a black market exceeding $5 billion will exist to sell fake sensor and video data that enables criminal activity by 2020.
Benefits and Security for IIoT Communications | @ThingsExpo #IoT #IIoT #M2M
*This is part of a series of blogs examining Sensor-2-Server (S2S) communications, development, security and implementation.
For the past two weeks, we’ve taken an in-depth look at what Sensor-2-Server communications are, how to implement these systems, and some of the specific aspects of communication that these systems facilitate. This week, for our final installment, we’ll examine some of the benefits, as well as security considerations, for S2S communications.

Taking Back IT – DevOps: Part 3 | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Microservices
In my last post I spoke about the concept that Operations needs to understand and embrace the ____ as a service model (viewable here). The concept is difficult, but the reason it has to happen is that it is the most core tenant of DevOps, and it is the only way organizations will be able to truly drive digital transformation. This matters more than ever, because in the new digital wasteland we live in, failing to transform is agreeing to die.
