As Editor-in-chief of DevOps.com and Container Journal, Alan Shimel is attuned to the world of technology. Alan has founded and helped several technology ventures, including StillSecure, where he guided the company in bringing innovative and effective networking and security solutions to the marketplace. Shimel is an often-cited personality in the security and technology community and is a sought-after speaker at industry and government conferences and events. In addition to his writing on DevOps.com and Network World, his commentary about the state of technology is followed closely by many industry insiders via his blog and podcast, "Ashimmy, After All These Years" (www.ashimmy.com). Alan has helped build several successful technology companies by combining a strong business background with a deep knowledge of technology. His legal background, long experience in the field, and New York street smarts combine to form a unique personality.

Stateful Microservice Migration & the Live-State Challenge in Kubernetes

Alan argues that Kubernetes can’t ignore state any longer. While stateless apps fit the original vision, real-world workloads — from databases to AI pipelines — demand continuity. A new research framework, MS2M ...

Bridging Observability & Security in Kubernetes: Beyond Just Metrics

Kubernetes has expanded agility but also the attack surface. Alan argues that observability and security can no longer live in silos — metrics, logs, and traces already hold critical security signals, while ...
