Kubernetes has come a very long way in its first decade, and its broad user base, powerful capabilities and open source codebase have made it a cloud native industry standard.
However, it’s still not an “auto-magical” tool with a one-size-fits-all solution. Kubernetes’ deep complexity is almost as well known as its many benefits, and many organizations stall out before they can take full advantage of the container orchestration platform’s features.
These problems become more obvious as you try to scale your Kubernetes implementation. That is when unexpected business complications and technical hurdles, such as modernizing DevOps practices, emerge to challenge IT engineering and operations leaders.
Frequently mentioned Kubernetes roadblocks include managing a hybrid infrastructure, deciding which applications to containerize (or not), maintaining observability, preventing vendor lock-in, managing compliance and avoiding DIY shadow IT workarounds. If you fail to address these issues, deployments lag and your implementation is in danger of idling on the onramp to the cloud native superhighway.
Map Your Kubernetes Migration Journey
It’s nearly impossible to maintain a cloud native or hybrid cloud infrastructure without Kubernetes today, so you must learn how to navigate those obstacles with speed and grace. Planning for the journey ahead will help ensure you’re successful and make the effort you put in worthwhile.
If you’re trying to plot the best course of action for your Kubernetes journey, please join us for “A Leader’s Guide to Kubernetes CD at Scale” on Oct. 9, 2024, at 3 p.m. ET | noon PT. Our host Chris Pirillo will sit down with a pair of experts from Octopus Deploy — Field CTO, Bob Walker, and VP of Open Source, Dan Garfield — for what promises to be a very rewarding webinar.
During this insightful online event, they’ll provide you with actionable strategies to chart a successful Kubernetes migration path while avoiding the roadblocks that may stand in your way.
Join this live webinar and expect to learn:
- How to align Kubernetes adoption with business goals.
- The business and technical challenges you’ll typically face with K8s.
- Solutions to problems at scale, like YAML sprawl and DIY shadow continuous delivery (CD) glue.
- Strategies to avoid common pitfalls.
