Cloud 2.0: Get ready to take app development to a new level | #IBMOCA
If speed is the currency in IT these days, then applications are what you purchase with that currency. Bigger, faster, technologically more complex, yet simpler-to-use applications. Every new development, product and service that materializes has just one question to answer ultimately: Can it make my application do what I want it to do?
“We are entering what I think is Cloud 2.0,” said Angel Diaz, VP of Cloud Architecture and Technology at IBM. Diaz told host John Furrier (@furrier), cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during the IBM Open Cloud Architecture Summit that the cloud isn’t a monolith — it’s a dizzying array of services that can be orchestrated and tailored to the exact needs of businesses.
As cloud evolves, he said, “We can really start to bring together services and build industry-specific clouds.”
Linking up
Diaz said that for cloud to become more, “interoperability is key.” He said that the ability and willingness of parts to play off each other and form a new whole is needed not just within single services, but “accross the vendor landscape.”
He gave Docker as an example of a service that has the openness and interoperability to coalesce with other services and form new entities. “All of these constellations are working together so that we reuse the right elements of the architecture, and Docker is a part of that,” he explained.
At the end of the day, it’s all about the application, he stated, and the coalescing and tuning of cloud services for specific purposes is going to enable app development like never before.
