John Furrier & Lauren Cooney sit down with Abby Kearns from Cloud Foundry Foundation at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU 2018 in Copenhagen, Denmark

As cloud technology goes mainstream, corporate culture shifts
There’s a chasm between the industry professionals who know cloud and companies who are just starting to understand how cloud-native technologies can revolutionize their businesses. Container orchestration might be old news to those inside the tech bubble, but the rest of the world is rushing to catch up.
“Kubernetes has become a really big part of the [cloud technology] conversation the last year, and so we’re starting to see organizations that are interested in it. But in terms of adoption and awareness beyond just the core central, there’s still a massive education gap there,” stated Abby Kearns (pictured), executive director of the Cloud Foundry Foundation.
Kearns spoke with John Furrier (@furrier), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, and Lauren Cooney (@lcooney), founder and chief executive officer of Spark Labs Consulting LLC and guest host of theCUBE, at the KubeCon CloudNativeCon EU event in Denmark. They discussed how large companies are changing as they undergo digital transformation. (* Disclosure below.)
Cloud-native tech supplements digital transformation
While it is hyped as cool and cutting edge, the practical purpose of cloud-native technology is as a supplemental tool to facilitate digital transformation, Kearns pointed out.
“The hard work is really continuous delivery, building in that culture change, making software a core part of your business, making technology part of your day-to-day conversation. And that heavy lift has to come in order for any of these technologies to be successful,” she said.
While today it is the tech companies that control the narrative, Kearns foresees a not-too-distant future where corporations dictate the path of innovation.
“It’s not going to be too long before the enterprises are pushing back and saying, ‘Hey, this is what I need. Here’s where I am. I’m running at a scale you didn’t think about yet,'” she concluded.
