The myth of portability: why your cloud native app is married to your provider at KubeCon
This talk by Duckbill’s own Corey Quinn talk examines how cloud native applications become inadvertently locked to their cloud provider, despite our best intentions. We’ll dissect the subtle ways your “portable” application gets married to a specific cloud: from IAM systems that don’t translate, to provider-specific load balancers masquerading as standard ingress, to that innocent-looking object storage bucket your app “temporarily” writes to.
