If companies are looking for reasons behind them — they should remember that flexible working is almost as important as compensation. According to a survey by DigitalOcean, non-flexible working environments motivated 24% of them to quit last year. The top reason however remains compensation - which motivated 28%. Yet, flexibility comes a close second as 21% who are planning on quitting this year for the same reason. Better benefits also motivated 17% of the respondents to resign last year, while 15% of them may quit this year.

Not just money, lack of flexi working is making software developers quit

About 44 per cent of developers based in India are considering leaving their job this year compared to 42 per cent globally, according to a report. The report by DigitalOcean Holdings, the cloud for developers, startups and SMBs, surveyed over 2,500 respondents from 94 countries including India, US, Germany, Canada and the UK. It shows that the developer talent shortage has potential to worsen with 64 per cent of those with less than a year's experience, and 32 per cent of those with 1-5 years experience, leaving their job recently. Motivations for leaving jobs were found to be consistent among both those who have already left and those considering leaving, with compensation, remote or flexible work environments, and better benefits being the top factors that motivate people to leave jobs, especially for younger developers. Nearly 18 per cent of respondents cited lack of time and resources to work on projects is also a key challenge, and 11 per cent mention team members leaving as a challenge, demonstrating that the developer talent shortage is impacting even those who stay in their roles. "Attracting and retaining developer talent is evolving rapidly and companies need to adapt to the new landscape," said Gabe Monroy, Chief Product Officer at DigitalOcean, in a statement. "Businesses need to better understand developers and give them the tools, benefits, and pay they need to be successful - business survival in the digital era depends on it," Monroy added. About 56 per cent of India developers also participated in open source projects in the past year, of which just 12 per cent of were paid for their contribution. Open source has contributed to learning and networking in India, with 37 per cent stating they have gained enhanced skills from open source, 23 per cent networking opportunities, and 10 per cent have found job opportunities through the open source community. It is clear that businesses of all sizes need to rethink their approach to attracting and retaining highly-skilled developer talent. The report also identifies compensation and desire for fully remote or more flexible work environments as the top reasons developers are thinking about quitting, or already have.

One in two Indian software developers plan to quit their jobs this year

MicrosoftMicrosoft Lead PM of Containers and former Deis CTO Gabe MonroyIn April, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/10/microsoft-acquires-container-platform-deis/">Microsoft paid an undisclosed sum for Deis</a>, a startup that builds software on top of Kubernetes - a key cloud computing technology, originated at Google, that's very popular amongst Silicon Valley programmers. The acquisition itself was noteworthy: Despite its recent steps toward opening up, Microsoft still has a reputation for not playing nicely with technology it didn't build itself. And <a href="http://www.deis.com">Deis</a> literally billed itself as "The Kubernetes Company" in its marketing, firmly establishing itself as part of that Google-led open source software movement.Plus, Deis had actually been bought in 2015 by Engine Yard, a well-known maker of software development tools, before getting sold to Microsoft, meaning that the startup has had two owners in as many years. Now, a little more than a month later, former Deis CTO Gabe Monroy is leading Microsoft's strategy around "software containers," the bleeding-edge market that Kubernetes has largely conquered. Furthermore, Monroy and his ex-Deis engineering team are launching Draft on Wednesday, a new tool to help programmers use Kubernetes to build their software.Monroy says that the release of Draft, which has been planned before the acquisition, actually allays some of the fears he and his team had coming into Microsoft: Promises had been made, but the team was "naturally skeptical.""There was this commitment that we were going to continue to succeed in open source," says Monroy. And Microsoft apparently delivered.<h2>The tale of containers and Kubernetes</h2>At the most basic level, "containers" let a programmer break their software down into a whole mess of little packages, all of which are self-contained (get it?) with all of the files, utilities, and tools it needs to run. Developers love it, because it streamlines the process of taking software between computers, servers, and data centers. The market was all but created by <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/docker-founder-solomon-hykes-on-unikernal-2016-1">Docker</a>, a $1 billion startup that's sparked a major movement: Companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have all been <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-expands-open-source-on-azure-2016-2">tripping over themselves</a> to provide first-class support for Docker containers in their cloud computing services, in a bid to win over developers.The problem is that, even once your software is packaged into neat little containers, you then need the tools to shift them around between computers, servers, and data centers. Which is where Kubernetes, based on code that Google has been using to manage its own containers, comes into the picture. It's created a thriving ecosystem of companies like Deis, working with and alongside Kubernetes as a platform. GoogleGoogle cloud boss Diane GreeneThis leaves Microsoft in the position of needing to support Docker, Kubernetes, and other outside container tech like Mesosphere, which Microsoft actually once tried to buy, in order to attract developers. If Microsoft can't offer Kubernetes support, then Kubernetes-loving developers will simply to go Amazon, Google, or elsewhere. Monroy says that the Kubernetes community has actually been wide open to Microsoft's overtures to the Kubernetes and container worlds. Microsoft has its reputation, sure, but most developers in the real world already rely on Microsoft products to some degree, and it's heartening to see the company support their preferred technologies."People really want [Microsoft] to do well," says Monroy.<h2>Streamlined</h2>The idea behind Deis' tech is that it lets you write software, and have it automatically "containerized" as you go. You don't need any expertise in Docker or Kubernetes to get started. The new "Draft" tool makes it even easier, taking your code and letting you transfer it from wherever it is onto an existing Kubernetes system.This ties into his larger vision for Microsoft and containers, says Monroy. In a bigger-picture way, putting aside the code, Monroy says that there are complexities and confusion with containers that his team at Microsoft is well-suited to solve - while still supporting that wide array of preferred developer tools.DockerDocker Founder and CTO Solomon HykesIf you mention Kubernetes to a developer, he says, they're into the idea. But once they actually sit down to work with the code, they "get this deer in the headlights look," says Monroy. Tools like Draft can make it easier to get started. And once it's easier to get started, containers can really take off. That's the future that Monroy wants to shape, making containers a core building block of new-age app development. "I write code and all of that too, but I'm really passionate about seeing this stuff get adopted," says Monroy.

"We strongly believe serverless is the future of cloud native development," Russinovich told Business Insider.To backtrack a bit: Serverless computing is a technological trend that grown in popularity in recent years. Despite the name, serverless computing still requires servers. The difference is that, rather than setting up a bunch of servers ahead of time to perform a specific task - image processing, for example - serverless computing allows software to automatically spin up a bunch of servers from the cloud, as needed, and vanish them into the ether when the task is done. For developers, it means not having to put in the time and effort of managing a lot of server infrastructure - and that you don't have to have systems that sit around idle, costing the developer money, until their specific function is called on. In theory, at least, it means spending less money, and having more time to write code. This approach is picking up steam. Currently, all three of the major clouds - Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud - support serverless computing with their own products and services. And last week, at its Microsoft Build developer conference, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/can-microsoft-beat-amazon-web-services-10-tech-execs-views-2019-5">Microsoft</a> made some new announcements for serverless, both of which are built on Microsoft's service for<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-kubernetes-google-cloud-2019-1"> Kubernetes;</a> itself an open source cloud project that started in Google and widely used today for running massive applications. Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-kubernetes-google-cloud-2019-1">Everything you need to know about Kubernetes, the Google-created open source software so popular even Microsoft and Amazon had to adopt it</a><h2>'From code to cloud'</h2>On May 6, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-linux-kernel-windows-10-2019-5">Microsoft</a> launched Kubernetes-based event-driven autoscaling (KEDA), in partnership with Red Hat. KEDA allows developers to automatically scale their applications in response to what's happening in the system. For example, if there's a stream of data coming in, KEDA will automatically summon more memory and compute power from the cloud to handle the increased load. In addition, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/paychex-microsoft-azure-sql-database-2019-5">Microsoft</a> announced the general availability of virtual nodes in Azure Kubernetes Service. This allows users to scale applications using special types of containers that are cloud-based and serverless, running directly on Azure. Thanks to the serverless approach, developers don't have to worry about maintaining or updating these containers. Gabe Monroy, partner program manager of Microsoft Azure Container Compute, says this is especially important as a way to help developers focus more on their code, without having to learn the fine arts of managing infrastructure, too. "There's going to be millions more developers who will enter the market," Monroy told Business Insider. "It's Microsoft's job to make sure those developers can ensure their ideas and become productive without having to learn lots of different arcane technologies. The hope is that people can go from code to cloud directly."<h2>A new pricing model</h2>Russinovich says that serverless computing brings a new way of building cloud software, and so it needs a new kind of pricing model. The predominant model for building cloud software today is by using virtual machines - basically, software that emulate more traditional physical servers, though the actual hardware on which they run exists only in mega-clouds like Microsoft's. Serverless computing is cost-effective at small scales, he says, but, to date, virtual machines have been considered the cheapest way to build applications in the cloud. These pricing dynamics discouraged many customers from going serverless, he says. Last month, Microsoft decided to cut the costs of its serverless containers, known as Azure Container Instances (ACI), between 30-50%. Russinovich calls the new pay model "microbilling," where customers just pay for the computing resources they use, while virtual machines are billed based on how long they're active. "We're removing any financial disincentive from using ACI," Russinovich said. "We want customers to be able to take advantage of serverless instead of being more expensive...How can we remove prices from being a blocker? We did an evaluation of how much is a virtual machine. Let's make sure ACI is approximately the same price."That being said, Russinovich and Monroy say virtual machines are still here to stay: Most existing software, especially legacy software, are still architected to run on virtual machines. Going forward, the executives say, more and more new software will be built around serverless principles. "The cloud is all about time to value," Russinovich said. "If you take a look at all we're building, it's about accelerating <keyword id="94495" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="Innovation">innovation</keyword> for customers. The way you do that is letting them focus completely on their business problem and taking as much of the infrastructure and overhead away from them and handling it for them. Serverless is a great example."Get the latest Microsoft stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/MSFT-Quote"> here.</a> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/avengers-infinity-war-thanos-killed-half-all-life-earth-endangered-species-2019-4">There are 7.7 billion humans on Earth today.
