This Week on The New Stack: Telcos' Move to Kubernetes Means Cloud Race Isn't Over Yet

Episode Summary

On this week's episode of The New Stack Context, TNS Managing Editor Joab Jackson was reporting live from AnacondaCon in Austin, Texas. He covered the annual data science conference for Anaconda users and came back with some insights on Anaconda and machine learning in the enterprise. We’ll hear more about that in the second half of the show. But first, we discuss TNS Correspondent Scott Fulton's article about how Kubernetes is beginning to make it into the telco industry’s stack. Scott talked to Randy Bias, Juniper’s vice president for cloud technology and strategy, and one of the long-time key figures in the containerization movement. He says the time may be imminent for telecommunications providers to get behind their counterparts in the data center, and adopt Kubernetes as their orchestrator for network functions.
