# What's with the cloud ep. 9

###### tags: `show`


## .NET 5 @petrkotas 

This is a big release bringing .NET core united with .NET 4.x
Many features and even though I am not .NET developer, I am excited about this.
With .NET and .NET core united, the future is bright. As now I can see more
direct move towards cloud and containers for .NET systems already written.

Just interesting to keep an eye on.

Big step towards viable persistent storage in K8S which usually had to be offloaded to solutions like EBS etc.

## NGINX goes into Service Mesh business @b0urn3

https://thenewstack.io/nginx-steps-into-the-service-mesh-fray-promising-a-simpler-alternative/

TL;DR isn't build like Istio and tries to aim for users that are just starting to outgrow Ingress Controllers-only traffic pattern.

DEMO it and ask a guest about networking.

## Cloud-native the struggle is real @petrkotas 

https://thenewstack.io/developers-vs-executives-cloud-native-confusion-is-real/

Kinda long article again repeating the misunderstanding what cloud-native means with proof in survey.

TL;DR; 
Running in the cloud does not mean cloud-native. Using K8s does not mean cloud native.

Utilizing cloud resources as much as possible, to simplify the life and ease the costs is cloud-native.
