WIDE-RANGING EXPERIENCE

8. “I’m a Linux geek through and through – I
live for Open Source and am proud and
humbled to be part of Red Hat. To me, it’s
all about making technology available to
people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to
get it – – leveling the playing field across
nations, economic strata, societies.”
- Thomas Cameron, RHCA, RHCSS,
RHCDS, RHCVA, RHCX

12. “The winning open source model turns open
source 1.0 on its head. By packaging open
source into a service (as in cloud computing or
software-as-a-service) or as a software or
hardware appliance, companies can monetize
open source with a far more robust and flexible
model, encouraging innovation, and on-going
investment in software development.”

ü Cost needs to be shifted from expensive legacy infrastructure to
innovation
ü IT needs to deliver new cloud services and help accelerate self-
service and new application delivery
ü A more agile application architecture is necessary to allow
developers to use their favorite languages and tools, enabling them
to release early and often without business/infrastructure risk
ü Organizations require modern, secure, cloud-native applications that
can be frequently updated to meet internal and external needs

ü On Demand/Self-Service Virtualization (Cloud)
ü Domain Driven Design – Bounded Context – We sort of get
it now
ü CI/CD/DevOps (e.g. Jenkins) tooling and practice
ü Automation tooling and practice (e.g. Puppet/Chef/Ansible)
– Infrastructure as Code
ü Ever growing demand for better Time to Business Value
MICROSERVICES: WHY NOW?

43. MICROSERVICE PRINCIPLES/
CHARACTERISTICS
1. Deployment Independence - updates to an individual
microservice have no negative impact to any other component of
the system. Optimized for replacement – not reuse
2. API Focused – not restricted to a single technology/language/
protocol
3. Do one thing well - small enough and no smaller
4. Aligned with Business
