Looking at the Past to Understand our Future — Jorge Castro
summary
Argument presents cloud-native as an ecosystem that needs long-term stewardship rather than quarterly metrics, urging analysis of project-to-project and human-to-project relationships. Examples include Kubernetes, Kubeflow and Cloud Custodian and orgs such as CNCF, Canonical/Ubuntu, Heptio and VMware. Timeline details (over a decade at Canonical, a three-month sabbatical, on month three at CNCF) illustrate perspective. Calls for ecology of relationships and thinking in deep time to preserve contributors, APIs and access to technology.
