• Upbound emerges from stealth, raises $9M from GV to build a multicloud platform on Kubernetes\\nAnother thing k8s doesn\\u2019t do\\u2026I guess? \\u201cThe eight-person Seattle-based startup plans to build a platform that will let Kubernetes users interested in multicloud deployments build services that scale across multiple public clouds and help those companies deploy their applications across those environments.\\u201d\\nDC/OS for all the DC/OS\\u2019es. It\\u2019s DC/OS\\u2019es all the way down.\\n(I\\u2019m glad they linked to the wikipedia definition for \\u201clingua franca.\\u201d)
\\n
• As Kubernetes grows, a startup ecosystem develops in its wake\\nThis about 1/3 of what a good, internal strategy memo would be. Needs market-sizing, forecasts, and, well, more numbers. If it also said what action to take, you\\u2019d have most of it there.
\\n
• Is K8s Too Complicated?
\\n
• AWS Won Serverless \\u2013 now all your software are kinda belong to them\\nYou know what old Jack Burton always says in a time like this: \\u201cI DON\\u2019T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HELL THAT MEANS!\\u201d\\n"We can\'t be more than one to two years from Amazon hitting that 2 per cent of the serverless (i.e. platform) market. Which means, if you\'re going to counter play then NOW (not six months later) is the time to be dropping $5 to $10bn on that counter play."\\nSee also\\u2026

• Serverless is going to crush Kubernetes (but only in a theoretical world which doesn\\u2019t actually exist) - oh boy\\u2026
\\n
• CoreOS Is New Linux, Not A RHEL Classic Killer: \\u2018Importantly, the OpenShift platform cloud software, which included Red Hat\\u2019s own implementation of the Kubernetes container controller, will be deployable on either the full-on Red Hat Enterprise Linux in pets mode or the minimalist Red Hat CoreOS in cattle mode. But it will be using the Tectonic version of the Kubernetes controller going forward as well as integrating the Prometheus monitoring tool and etcd for storing telemetry. Gracely tells The Next Platform that the implementation of Kubernetes had outside dependencies such as the CloudForms hybrid cloud management tool (formerly ManageIQ) and was not \\u201cnative\\u201d to Kubernetes in the same way that Tectonic is, meaning free of outside dependenies.\\u2019
