NoOps – as in “No Operations” – has been suggested as the next step in the evolution of DevOps. DevOps, after all, in some minds, freed application developers from the shackles of IT overlords that stingily doled out hardware resources. This was good, but managing infrastructure is not what devs …
What are microservices? Do they have to be small? What do APIs have to do with all this? Microservice application architecture is the current favorite, new model for application development in general and Cloud-native applications in particular. But what are they, how do they work and why are they better …
Unikernels – will they be the next hype thing after Containers or are they “just” Containers v2.0? How do they compare to Containers, Bare Metal or Serverless compute models? Kumulus Tech CTO, Robert Starmer, breaks down how they are like, yet differ from, Linux Containers and where their value proposition …
Serverless Computing- a powerful Cloud function, but also the latest confusing buzzword in the world of Cloud computing and application development.

In this episode Robert Starmer, the CTO of Kumulus Technologies discusses how SaaS works and how …
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is “the Developer’s Cloud” – a cloud computing service model that provides software developers with the tools they need to build and deploy applications, without the need to worry about managing infrastructure. OpenStack, though designed as an Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform has several PaaS systems that integrate with it. In …
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is the Cloud Computing service model most are familiar with, but exactly what SaaS means is changing. SaaS is moving beyond the role of Storage, Office, Productivity, Messaging, etc. for enterprise users. We are starting to see some SaaS applications approaching PaaS-like functionality, where machine-to-machine, machine-to-human, and human-to-machine …
