David Ward, CTO of Engineering and chief architect at Cisco Systems, Inc., argued that is not the goal. The underlying infrastructure is very complex, and if exposed to too much of it, an application developer may not write applications. Exposing that infrastructure is not the goal at Cisco Systems. “The goal is that someone who’s building an application and designing services for customers can be a no-stack developer and all layers can go away, letting the infrastructure do their work,” said Ward. Ward was joined Chris Wright, VP and chief technologist, Office of Technology, at Red Hat, Inc. The pair were interviewed by Stu Miniman (@stu) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Red Hat Summit at the Moscone N & W in San Francisco, CA. Development of containers in the open-source community Open source was another theme of their discussion. “All of development in container space is being done open source, and that’s one reason why we’re moving so fast. The pace of innovation is staggering,” said Wright. “The other reason is we’re leveraging 10 years of experience.” The container networking may be a couple years behind virtualization, but that gap is quickly closing, especially with the innovation being done in the open-source community. New careers emerging In this rapidly developing industry, the way the jobs themselves look is also changing. There are jobs opening up that never existed before now, distributed across different organizations. “There are careers emerging between the developers in the operationalizing orchestration stack and the services and workloads coming out. Networking engineers need to go in that space and learn fundamentally new skills,” said Ward. It’s truly an exciting and innovating time in the industry.
