Cloud-Native Technology Growth Set to Go Beyond Kubernetes – ITPro Today
Posted: at 8:12 am
Few trends in IT have been as pervasive in recent years as the dominance of cloud-native technologies including Kubernetes.
In an attempt to quantify the current state of cloud-native technology adoption, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) recently published its sixth annual Cloud Native Survey. The report is based on a survey of developers conducted by the CNCF as well as on production data from cloud monitoring vendors New Relic and Datadog and supplementary data from developer analyst firm SlashData.
Related: 4 Reasons Why Kubernetes Is So Popular
Among the big findings in the report is that approximately 5.6 million developers are using Kubernetes worldwide.
"The biggest surprise is that Kubernetes has reached the level where developers are using it without even being aware, kind of how Linux is everywhere without people realizing they are using it in their phones, TVs, or household appliances," CNCF Chief Technology Officer Chris Aniszczyk told ITPro Today.
Related: How and When to Use Cloud-Native Technology
Kubernetes isn't just about developers, it's also about having a target deployment for applications in the cloud.
Production data from CNCF member Datadog shows that nearly 90% of Kubernetes users leverage cloud-managed services, up from not even 70% in 2020, according to Aniszczyk.
In addition, CNCF's data found that 79% of respondents use Certified Kubernetes Hosted platforms, he said. The most popular platforms in use are Amazons EKS, Microsofts AKS, and Googles GKE.

While Kubernetes adoption overall is strong, the CNCF report found that large organizations, particularly enterprises with more than 5,000 employees, are far more likely to be using Kubernetes than smaller organizations. This pattern was mirrored by data from Datadog and SlashData.
"This could be because cloud-native challenges can be prohibitive to smaller organizations," Aniszczyk said.
According to the CNCF survey, the biggest challenges to using containers are:
Larger organizations are better able to hire Kubernetes experts and support their ongoing training, whereas smaller companies may be dependent on one or two individuals who are learning as they go.
"Trying to fill these gaps is exactly why we launched our Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate [KCNA] exam and training our community expressed the need for more beginner-friendly training materials and certifications," Aniszczyk said.
Cloud-native is about more than just Kubernetes. The CNCF hosts a growing landscape of projects, including security, service mesh, container, logging, database, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), and storage efforts, among others.
Aniszczyk said that as Kubernetes adoption in the CNCF community approaches 100%, he's starting to see organizations adopt technologies higher up the cloud-native stack. Companies are adopting less mature projects to tackle more advanced challenges for example, with service meshes including Envoy and Linkerd, as well as observability tools such as Prometheus and Fluentd, he said.
Aniszczyk pointed out that production usage data from CNCF member New Relic, for example, shows that Prometheus adoption increased by 43% in the last six months of 2021, while Fluentd adoption grew by 53% over the past year.
"I believe 2022 will be a defining year for emerging areas of cloud-native like edge, observability, and security, as container infrastructures continue to mature," Aniszczyk said.

What are the impacts of Cloud computing in Financial Service Sector? – BollyInside
Posted: at 8:12 am
This tutorial is about the What are the impacts of Cloud computing in Financial Service Sector?. We will try our best so that you understand this guide. I hope you like this blog What are the impacts of Cloud computing in Financial Service Sector?. If your answer is yes then please do share after reading this.
Financial institutions have lagged behind in adopting cloud technologies, primarily due to concerns about security, regulatory compliance, and governance. As a result, they face challenges related to the business model, such as legacy technology, high operating costs, and lack of scalability. Cloud adoption is now becoming the norm and analysts predict that by 2022 approximately 75% of financial institutions infrastructure and data will be processed in the cloud and gradually migrate to it.
The amount of data produced and consumed is growing exponentially in the financial sector. Banking companies need an hour to install scalable systems. Cloud computing in fintech is an accelerating trend, fueled by the powerful influence of the cloud to meet many of the needs of the financial sector.
The cloud has brought numerous benefits to the financial industry in many areas, including security, service, innovation, and scalability. Cloud was even credited with helping fuel the industrys projected 23.84% compound annual growth rate. So why is cloud computing so important in financial services? Fintech startups and established financial organizations are competing to offer customers and end-users greater speed, reliability, and 24/7 availability of their digital products and services.
Data is the lifeblood of the financial services industry. Its crucial for a wide range of activities, from day-to-day account management to verifying user identities, viewing balances, and analyzing spending habits. Cloud technology enables fintech companies to securely, cost-effectively and autonomously store, manage and access large volumes of data from anywhere at any time.
The agility that cloud computing has brought to the fintech industry has accelerated innovation in the sector. The cloud enables financial organizations to develop their products and bring them to market faster, while allowing them to react quickly to changing demands and emerging trends. The Covid-19 pandemic brought many challenges to the fintech sector that cloud computing has helped financial services companies overcome with speed and ease.
In the age of high-profile data breaches and cybersecurity attacks, customers are increasingly aware of how their personal data is protected. The financial services industry has a responsibility to safeguard its customers data, and the cloud is improving the way financial companies do it. From data encryption to zero-trust verification and access control, many of the risks presented by traditional on-premises IT infrastructures are being mitigated through cloud computing in financial services.
Rapid growth is common in fintech companies, and these fast-growing companies need infrastructures that support their growth rather than slow it down. Cloud infrastructure allows financial companies to scale quickly and easily without barriers. From rapidly growing customer bases to the digitization of traditional banking services, financial companies often need to store additional resources in the cloud, which is far more cost-effective than upgrading or expanding traditional on-premises infrastructure.
I hope you understand this article What are the impacts of Cloud computing in Financial Service Sector?, if your answer is no then you can ask anything via contact forum section related to this article. And if your answer is yes then please share this article with your family and friends.

An intro to cloud-native microservices and how to build them – TechTarget
Posted: at 8:12 am
Microservices are a core component of cloud-native computing.
Breaking applications into small, loosely coupled parts makes it easier for developers to build agile and resilient software. In addition, microservices shorten development cycles, which leads to faster innovation and a better user experience.
Experienced developers likely already know why microservices are central to cloud-native apps, and why they are beneficial. To actually build cloud-native applications based on a microservices architecture, however, developers must be well-versed in certain tools, programming languages and development techniques.
Cloud-native microservices refer to an application design strategy in which developers divide applications into a series of discrete units, called microservices. Each microservice can typically operate independently of the others, but the microservices share data and interact over a network to enable application functionality.
Microservices are inherently cloud-native, because cloud-native apps are based on microservices architectures -- that is, according to most definitions of cloud-native.
Microservices architectures have been around longer than cloud-native computing. Microservices started to become popular about a decade ago, whereas the term cloud-native emerged around 2015. Part of the reason developers conceptualized cloud-native as a distinct approach to application design and delivery was because so many applications were migrating to a microservices architecture.
Cloud-native is about more than just microservice -- distributed infrastructure and consumable services are also important parts of the equation. However, microservices are arguably the most important element of a cloud-native strategy.
That said, cloud-native microservices don't have to run in the cloud. Developers can use platforms such as Kubernetes to deploy them on premises.
Cloud-native microservices offer several benefits, including:
On the other hand, microservices pose some challenges. The biggest is that they increase application complexity. An application with more moving parts is more difficult to orchestrate.
For this reason, it's often not worth implementing microservices for relatively simple applications. These include applications with small codebases, and those with minor scalability or resiliency demands.
Developers can implement microservices, as an architectural style, in a variety of ways. There is no one specific tool or methodology to create a microservices application.
There are, however, some general guidelines that are helpful to design and build cloud-native microservices.
While it's possible to manage code for all of microservices within a single repository, it's not a best practice. Manage the code for each microservice separately to simplify development as much as possible.
For similar reasons, deploy each microservice into production as a separate unit, rather than all at once. Otherwise, developers can't update one microservice without affecting the rest of the application.
Give each microservice its own storage resources, rather than have all microservices share a database or other persistent data store. While this model requires additional effort, it enables developers to tailor storage resources to the needs of each individual microservice. It also reduces the risk that one microservice will overwrite or corrupt data associated with another microservice.
Developers can design microservices to communicate directly with external endpoints. A better approach, however, is to use an API gateway as an intermediary.
There are two main advantages to using an API gateway with microservices. First, it simplifies microservices deployment, because microservices don't need to recognize the exact location of external resources; they just recognize where the API gateway is. Second, the API gateway can validate and manage requests, which mitigates performance and security issues.
Microservices can share data directly with each other over an internal network. A better approach, however, is to use an intermediary infrastructure layer -- specifically, a service mesh -- to manage communications.
Service meshes manage requests between microservices. They're similar to API gateways, and they offer similar performance and security benefits. The main difference is that a service mesh handles internal communications, while an API gateway serves as an interface between microservices and external resources.
While it's possible to write microservices in any language, certain languages or frameworks are particularly well-suited to cloud-native microservices architectures.
For example, if you prefer Java, consider a Java framework such as Spring Boot, which caters to this use case. Go's concurrency features and modular design model make it a good choice for microservices programming. C++ also works well for microservices development, given its concurrency support and fast execution. Fast execution reduces the risk of application delays caused by microservices that are slow to handle requests.

The fragmented nature of the market will be a major challenge for the healthcare facilities management market during the forecast period.The market is mainly composed of two segments, namely, the organized and unorganized sectors. The organized sector comprises big retailers or manufacturers, which have all the necessary permits and follow the relevant rules and regulations. On the other hand, the unorganized sector includes small retailers or manufacturers not registered with the government. The global healthcare facilities management market is highly fragmented and unorganized. The market is highly competitive, with participants offering different services, depending on the size of their operation. The presence of a large number of players in the market increases the level of competition; however, service differentiation is costly for vendors as each player must upgrade its cleaning services in line with the current technology. Also, organized players must engage in extensive marketing practices to create a brand name and differentiate their services from their competitors. These factors ultimately lead to a heavy cost burden for vendors and reduce their profit margins.

Wynn Resorts cashes in on Everett casino in $1.7 billion deal – BetaBoston
Posted: at 8:11 am
Wynn Resorts is selling off its Encore Boston Harbor casino property in Everett, though patrons shouldnt notice any difference at all.
On Tuesday, Wynn announced a $1.7 billion sale to Realty Income, a large real estate investment trust, and aims to use the proceeds, in part, to help fund development plans across Broadway from the casino. But no, Wynn isnt going anywhere: The Las Vegas-based casino operator will lease the Encore property from Realty Income, starting at $100 million a year, escalating slightly each year, essentially to keep pace with inflation.
Chief executive Craig Billings said the sale-leaseback will free up cash, to invest in Wynns expansion in Everett as well as a recently announced casino resort project in the United Arab Emirates, and to retire some higher-cost debt. The transaction is expected to close at the end of the year and will likely be one of the biggest commercial real estate deals in Massachusetts in 2022.
Wynn had spent $2.6 billion to develop and build the casino, which opened in June 2019. The 3 million-square-foot complex, which sits on nearly 35 acres, includes a 671-room luxury hotel, 3,900 gaming positions, and a 2,800-space parking garage.
The company also has ambitious plans for 13 acres it owns across Broadway from the casino.
For the first phase of development there, Wynn has proposed a 2,300-car garage, a nearly 1,000-seat events venue, and a 20,000-square-foot restaurant space, to be connected to the casino property via a footbridge over Broadway. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is currently weighing whether that project should be regulated as casino land. This could limit the seating capacity of the venue Wynn could build there, although the company has already downscaled its plans from an initial proposal of 1,800 seats, to stay just under the state casino laws 1,000-seat threshold. At least two hotels and more restaurants are expected in later stages of the Broadway development.
Wynn has the option to sell this land across the street, also to Realty Income, for up to six years after the casino sale-leaseback closes. Although this is the first such deal for Wynn, sale-leasebacks are becoming increasingly common in the casino industry. MGM Resorts sold its casino in Springfield, for example, for $400 million last year to MGM Growth Properties, and then leased it back.
Billings emphasized in a conference call with analysts that the Everett sale-leaseback was not being driven by a short-term need for cash. Instead, it was a result of the company looking at the cost of debt, such as raising money through the bond market, and weighing that against the lease costs, among other things.
We werent in the market just to raise cash, right? Billings said. This was a cost-of-capital question first and foremost.
He praised the Everett casinos 3,400-person workforce, pointing out that the casino posted a record operating profit of $68 million in the final quarter of 2021.
The team in Boston has really done a tremendous job, particularly in the casino, but were just getting started, Billings said. Our next phase of growth in Boston will be driven by [gambler] database growth ... and through our upcoming expansion project across the street.

US casinos won $53 billion in 2021, their best year ever – ABC News

Americas commercial casinos won $53 billion in 2021, their best year ever according to figures released Tuesday
By WAYNE PARRY Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- America's commercial casinos won $53 billion in 2021, their best year ever according to figures released Tuesday.
The American Gaming Association, the gambling industry's national trade group, released year-end figures showing that in-person gambling continues to be the main source of revenue for the gambling industry, even as internet and sports betting continue to grow in the U.S.
The $53 billion won by casinos is more than 21% higher than the previous best year, which came in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
They also show that many gamblers have not been deterred from visiting a casino in person, even during the pandemic, when highly contagious variants of the virus were surging. The casinos have spent millions on health and safety protocols to try to limit the spread of the virus.
These results are nothing short of remarkable, Bill Miller, president and CEO of the association, said in a webinar to discuss the results. The success of 2021 reflects our commitment to health and safety, and how Americans have welcomed gamings expansion across the country. Todays industry is effectively meeting customers how and where they want to engage, whether at a casino or through mobile gaming.
The numbers do not include tribal casinos, which report their revenue separately. But Miller said that tribal leaders have similarly shared with me that 2021 was their best year on record.
Of the 33 states plus Washington D.C. that have commercial gambling, 23 set records for revenue last year.
Almost $45 billion was won from in-person gamblers at casinos last year, up 6.6% from 2019.
Sports betting continued its rapid growth, with more than $57 billion wagered legally on games last year, an increase of 165% from 2020. Of that total, casinos and racetrack sportsbooks saw nearly $4.3 billion in revenue after winning bets and other expenses were paid. That's up 177% from 2020.
It was helped by the launch of new commercial sports betting markets in Arizona, Connecticut, Louisiana, Maryland, South Dakota, Virginia and Wyoming.
Two new internet gambling markets, Connecticut and Michigan, also opened in 2021, helping the sector to a record $3.7 billion in revenue.
Combined sports betting and internet gambling revenue for the year totaled $8 billion, up 158% percent from 2020 and accounting for a record 15.1% percent of annual gambling revenue.
The group did voice concern over the slow return of business and leisure travel during the pandemic. Miller said overall travel spending is down 20% from pre-pandemic levels.
Business travel, meetings and events, and entertainment significant revenue-drivers for many operators have been slow to return, he said. The impact of this is compounded by depressed international visitation to the U.S., which is critical for the full recovery of destination markets like Las Vegas. And visitation among the older, core casino audience is only just getting back to pre-pandemic levels.
Gamings total recovery is still reliant on the full return of travel and large events, which requires a safe health environment, and an open economy, he said.
Miller said 2022 is looking promising for the casino industry, citing the launch of mobile sports betting in Louisiana and New York, which in just four weeks has become the No. 1 sports betting in the nation, with over $2 billion wagered.
He said he expects sports betting in Ohio and Nebraska to go online in 2022, and noted Maryland's mobile launch is in the works.
Miller also said seven additional states are considering sports betting legislation and four are weighing online gambling legislation.
Physical casinos will open this year in Virginia and several new racetrack casinos will open in Nebraska, he added.
