The future of infrastructure will be containerized
summary
Claims that containers become the default for infrastructure and shows concrete migrations: Docker → containerd and OCI standards, Kubernetes orchestration on GKE, and managed serverless like Cloud Run. Gives a surprising scale example: PGS runs up to 1.2 million vCPUs on Kubernetes for HPC workloads. Explains isolation tooling (Firecracker, Kata, gVisor), deployment metrics (DORA), and cost discipline (FinOps) and argues portability comes from using cloud managed container platforms and WASM as a potential next step.
