If your organization is modernizing how it develops software, you are probably going to need a container orchestration platform like Kubernetes. Here’s why.
The days of huge, monolithic applications are numbered. Today’s applications consist of numerous container-based microservices that interact via APIs. This journey from monoliths to microservices is the technical ying to the process yang of DevOps and CI/CD practices, which ideally work hand-in-hand to make fast, iterative software development possible.
But with software, there’s always a tradeoff. While individual microservices are easier to maintain and update than features within a tangled monolith, orchestrating those microservices to work together smoothly has long proved a challenge for anyone running a large, distributed application.
