Cloud Native Now Podcast

Mike Vizard and Paul Nashawaty, practice lead for application development at The Futrurum Group, dive into the degree to which generative artificial intelligence (AI) will accelerate modernizing legacy monolithic applications before discussing the impact generative AI will have on application testing. Then, the discussion shifts to why internal developer portals (IDPs) should be bult on virtual Kubernetes clusters. Finally, they delve into the reason why Broadcom’s Tanzu strategy is wrapped around platform engineering, and why Red Hat's move to natively run OpenStack on Kubernetes matters.Links Referenced in Podcast: https://cloudnativenow.com/topics/cloudnativedevelopment/application-dev/the-path-to-cloud-native-how-ai-is-lowering-barriers-for-legacy-application-modernization/ https://devops.com/lambdatest-kane-goes-end-to-end-on-ai-testing/https://cloudnativenow.com/editorial-calendar/app-dev-platforms-for-kubernetes/broadcom-revamps-tanzu-to-simplify-cloud-native-app-development-and-deployment/https://cloudnativenow.com/news/broadcom-tanzu-strategy-revolves-around-platform-engineering/https://cloudnativenow.com/topics/cloudnativedevelopment/kubernetes/virtual-kubernetes-clusters-the-key-to-a-modern-idp/https://cloudnativenow.com/features/red-hat-enables-openstack-to-run-natively-on-openshift-platform/
