DevOps Accents #26: Software Configuration Management with David Sandilands from Puppet

You can't not know Puppet if you call yourself a DevOps engineer. So, this one is for you, because we had a chat with David Sandilands a Principal Solutions Architect at Puppet in this new episode of DevOps Accent podcast. We discussed Puppet's past, present, and future and learned that virtual machines today are used far more extensively than you could possibly imagine! How? Listen to the episode and you will learn!

Also in this episode:
- What was the role of Puppet before and what is it now?
- How many companies use Kubernetes?
- The effect of inertia in technologies for bigger companies;
- How much time does it take to scale up?
- On prem vs. On cloud: cost effectiveness;
- Will VMs ever go away?
- Puppet and AI?
- What do companies ask for when they ask for AI?

Docker made containers really popular. It was the OCI standards that made them portable. But running a single container is just the start. When you're working on a large scale, you also need orchestration, networking, storage — and it's best to have standards for all of these.

In this wrap-up of the Dockerless series we cover:
🔹 CRI – swap container managers in Kubernetes without having to change Kubernetes itself.
🔹 CNI is the standard for container networking – just plug and play!
🔹 CSI – making storage and orchestration platforms separate
🔹 Kata Containers are lightweight virtual machines that act like containers.
👉 The bigger picture: containers, VMs, networking, and storage are all coming together into one standardised, open ecosystem for building infrastructure.
