Today I’m blogging from ISTIO Day at CloudNativeCon in Austin.
IBM has a whole cache of event activities for attendees looking to unlock the secrets to accelerated DevOps, container ops, distributed logging, container security, microservices, and serverless computing. We’ll also have tips & tricks for building cloud native. Coming out of the conference, developers will have a decoder ring for navigating that intersection where cloud meets their application backlog.
IBM has an enterprise-grade sandbox for creating and transforming apps, regardless of whether your team’s cloud environment is public, private, or hybrid. We build on open source platforms like Kubernetes for customization, ease of use, and accelerated innovation. That sandbox enables:
- The full suite of compute choices for your glue code and packaging, including bare metal, virtual machine, serverless, containers, and run-times.
- Automated DevTest and CI/CD to minimize rework, so you can spend more time coding to innovate, and less time coding to fix bugs.
- On-demand access to a complete collection of cloud services, free for prototyping and experimentation, including databases, AI, IOT, and Blockchain. Choose to automatically integrate them into your app.
Stop by our CloudNativeCon booth Wednesday thru Friday, and compare notes with fellow Devs on our product team.

We’ve Moved! The IBM Cloud Blog Has a New URL
In an effort better integrate the IBM Cloud Blog with the IBM Cloud web experience, we have migrated the blog to a new URL: www.ibm.com/cloud/blog.
Are You Ready for SAP S/4HANA Running on Cloud?
Our clients tell us SAP applications are central to their success and strategy for cloud, with a deadline to refresh the business processes and move to SAP S/4HANA by 2025. Now is the time to assess, plan and execute the journey to cloud and SAP S/4HANA
Seamless Integration: Istio and External Services
By defining our own MCP server, we allow users to move to the Istio service mesh without any code and deployment model changes. This means we can easily use Istio to control, observe, connect, and secure services running outside Kubernetes clusters.
