With all the domestic, direct flight, the gang lays out the case for Southwest. Cot\xe9 salivates at the prospect but is worried about sitting next to chicken cages, but there's plenty of $500 shoe sales people on board. We also discuss Oracle buying Dyn, AWS's power, the looming cloud success of Microsoft, and, of course, containers.

• \u201cAlibaba Cloud president Simon Hu has said the company is working to surpass AWS within four years.\u201d
\n
• We\u2019ll see if YUGEly can wrap his head around IaaS protectionism.
\n

\n\nSkyliner.io\n\n

\n
• \u201cYou only get one hill to die on, so choose wisely\u201d
\n
• New AWS-native PaaS from Etsy/Stripe/SquareSpace veterans
\n
• Cot\xe9: I feel like I\u2019ve read this blog post before. Maybe I even wrote it? So much typing.

\n
• Recent DevOps books review.

\n\nRed Hat wants to make Kubernetes boring (and successful)\n\n

\n
• They\u2019ve certainly made OpenStack boring (zing!)
\n
• \u201cNot that Red Hat is calling Kubernetes "boring." Instead, they're calling it "Enterprise-Ready," which is basically the same thing.\u201d
\n
• I dig that Matt Asay style. Dude knows how to pick a quick topic.
\n

\n\nThe End of General Purpose Computing\n\n

\n
• More precisely, as the title says \u201cThe End of the General Purpose Operating System\u201c
\n
• \u201cWhat we're witnessing in the market is the development of vertically integrated stacks\u201d
\n
• \u201cIn all of these cases the operating system is an implementation detail of the higher level software. It's not intended to be directly managed, or at least managed to the same degree as the general purpose OS you're running today.\u201d
\n

\n\nApple Drops AirPort Routers\n\n

\n
• I\u2019ve got 3 of them, pretty solid.
\n
• We don\u2019t talk about Apple much here. Possible topic: what\u2019s up with Apple now-a-days?
\n

\n\nTrump vs. Tech\n\n

\n
• \u201cNow we will have a president whose affinity for high-tech seems limited to Twitter bullying\u201d
\n
• Interesting when you think that the heads of Google, Microsoft, Apple and probably Amazon (Bezos owns Washington Post) are all at odds with Trump. Facebook is trying to not piss anyone off. Not sure if we want to talk about it, so maybe it\u2019s just a show note.
