Michael Feranti (Pure Storage) on the Before Kubernetes experience and common mistakes

Scott welcomes Michael Feranti, Senior Director of Product Marketing for Portworx by Pure Storage, to the podcast. Michael talks about his experience from the BK (Before Kubernetes) era, when Portworx made the bet that containers would become the primary building block for enterprise applications. Scott and Michael address the “assumption gap” and detail the differences between containers and VMs for those who assume they should already know, and what makes them useful. In addition, they talk through the mistakes that organizations have made in their containerization journeys, including how Kubernetes is enabling Rogue IT 2.0, and how to avoid them, including giving developers the ability to make “good, lazy decisions” when it comes to security.
