Unlock agile application modernization with advanced managed Kubernetes Services
Application modernization has taken center stage in the race towards cloud and digital transformation. In a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars today, enterprise applications form the core of daily business functionalities. Without modernization of apps and their underlying architecture and infrastructure, a business is bound to experience multiple setbacks in its digital evolution journey, especially in leveraging the full-scale benefits of cloud computing and AI.
The microservices methodology powered by Kubernetes clusters and containers is the most popular solution to this enigma. A cornerstone of the modern DevOps (An efficient collaboration framework between development and operations teams) wave, the process involves breaking down application architecture into specialized services/modules/units that are deployed into packaged structures known as containers. As the name suggests, the container consists of the concerned microservice code and the software-hardware requirements to run the same as an isolated, self-dependent unit on host systems.
59% of enterprises are concerned about security and compliance needs or threats to containers
96% of organizations have adopted Kubernetes as part of their container orchestration strategy
No.1 Lack of in-house skills/limited manpower is the biggest challenge to adopting Kubernetes
Why Kubernetes Service for Microservices and Application Modernization?
Kubernetes is an advanced automation platform that allows enterprises to seamlessly deploy and move, scale, manage, upgrade-downgrade, share/communicate, maintain, and secure containers and containerized applications (or microservices) across multiple IT ecosystems/host platforms ( servers, virtual environments, clouds, physical devices, on-prem systems) without a hitch.
The hosted systems are called nodes and a group of the same are called clusters. Kubernetes facilitates easy movement and management of containerized app operations across multiple clusters (Kubernetes cluster) to deliver highly transformative application development, testing, and running environments.
