What's next for Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure?

Exciting developments in cloud infrastructure are on the horizon. These fundamentally industry-altering design patterns, open-source tools, and architectures are set to address the complexity and scaling challenges of Kubernetes and evolve cloud infrastructure as we know it today. 

Very happy to share my first-ever feature on InfoWorld today, which seeks to answer 'what's next' for K8s and cloud infrastructure.

In short, we can expect a reduction of complexity in using Kubernetes, more growth in the mass enterprise market, better cross-cloud visibility with OpenTelemetry, heightened platform abstractions, inner-K8s virtualization, new modes of AI orchestration, a move toward the edge, the rise of WebAssembly and more.

As an industry, we need to get out of the weeds of YAML and "climb the ladder of abstraction," Jonas Bonér, CTO of Lightbend, says. "The next generation of serverless is that you don’t see infrastructure at all."

Read the full article to see what industry-leading experts think is on the horizon for cloud infrastructure. Thank you to everyone who contributed input to make this one possible!

Also, I'm excited to write for InfoWorld regularly, and look forward to sharing some other stories in the pipeline soon.
