Keynote: A Brief History of the Cloud from Servers to VMs to Buildpacks to Cloud Native Containers
summary
Quick history tying concrete milestones: servers → VMs (VMware, AWS AMIs) → buildpacks (Heroku) → containers (Docker) with Kubernetes as the orchestration layer. Claim: cloud native = microservices packaged as containers + orchestration, delivering isolation, portability, autoscaling and resiliency. Evidence: Google runs 2 billion containers per week (≈3,300/sec), Prometheus joins CNCF, and CNCF offers a $15M, 1,000‑node cluster for hosted project testing and CI.
