The Dapr open source distributed runtime is nearing a 1.0 release, possibly by the end of the year, noted Mark Chmarny, Microsoft principal program manager in the office of the Azure CTO, in a Cloud Native Computing Foundation Webinar held earlier this month.

It will be a timely release of a much-needed technology for the cloud native community. Introduced a year ago by Microsoft, Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime) tackles one of the toughest issues with distributed computing, namely how to make it easy enough for developers to use, without getting them bogged down in configuring all the supporting infrastructure necessary for the microservices components to interact with one another in a dynamic environment. It sets the stage for the much-desired multicloud operations, where it provides a single interface for developers to build apps that may move around, or even span, multiple commercial cloud services. And perhaps most importantly, it gives developers an easy abstraction for using Kubernetes.
