Kubernetes: The evolution of distributed systems | DevNation Tech Talk

Cloud-native applications of the future will consist of hybrid workloads: stateful applications, batch jobs, stateless microservices, and functions (maybe even something else) wrapped as Linux containers and deployed via Kubernetes on any cloud. Functions and the so-called serverless computing model is the latest evolution of what started as service-oriented architecture years ago. But is it the last step of the application architecture evolution and is it here to stay? During this talk, we will take you on a journey exploring distributed application needs, and how they evolved with Kubernetes, Istio, Knative, Dapr, and other projects. By the end of the session, you will know what is coming after microservices.
