Today’s guest on the podcast is Shayne Boyer, a Principal Cloud Advocate and .NET Lead at Microsoft! For the last 15 years, he has been developing Microsoft-based technology, mixing in a little Oracle and Android but truly, .NET is the world he lives in. He has started User Groups for Windows Phone, worked in Government Software, Public Records Systems, created major reservations systems for Cruise Companies, and has even worked for a mouse (AKA Walt Disney World) as a Senior Solutions Architect.

 

In today’s episode, Shayne and Jeffrey are discussing the landscape of Containers and Cloud-Native. Shayne highlights some of the new Windows Containers capabilities, gives his opinion on what he thinks should be the current file format or release candidate, explains what Cloud-Native means (and what is considered Cloud-Native), and speaks about which elements of .NET Core are interesting to him right now.

[1:12] About today’s guest, Shayne Boyer!

[2:56] Shayne shares what he’s been working on these days.

[4:33] There’s a lot of talk about building a new application targeting Azure and running it in Containers. But what are the options for getting those out of the data centers?

[6:30] Shayne speaks about some of the new Windows Containers capabilities.

[9:28] Is every single Windows Containers 2GB now? Or if you do a derived container with just a couple of tweaks, is that another 2GB?

[10:51] Some people have been talking about the Container as the new release candidate package format rather than bundling up your application as a NuGet package and putting it into Azure Artifacts. What’s Shayne’s opinion on what file format or release candidate should be now? And what does he think will be trending towards the future?

[14:04] What does Cloud-Native mean? And what is Shayne doing with it?

[19:45] When you’re developing, what can be considered Cloud-Native?

[33:10] With being on the other side of the country, is Shayne in a VPN the whole day or is there is something that has surpassed VPN now?
