Flexibility, accelerated development and delivery, improved scalability and high availability are the main reasons companies are adopting Kubernetes (K8s) technology. But managing and keeping the system up to date can be so complex for organizations that they need to hire a separate department just to handle everything properly.
With Jelastic’s Kubernetes automation you can improve DevOps productivity and focus on your business aims rather than fighting infrastructure complexity. In this article, we will cover how to streamline the Kubernetes cluster lifecycle via delivering upgrades automatically.
Covering the essentials of security in Kubernetes environments, this Refcard addresses the three primary areas of attack within a Kubernetes cluster. Security concepts range from the software supply chain — images, build systems, and container registry security — to Kubernetes infrastructure, as well as deploy-time and runtime security. Key examples like threat vectors, security measures, and vulnerability and violation types within each section will help you continue strengthening your Kubernetes environment security as you automate and scale the deployment and management of your cloud-native applications.
DevOps was an idea before its time.
It actually took a while for technology to catch up and fully implement the principles and vision of DevOps, but that is how innovation works.
A reported 69% of organizations surveyed by CNCF (the Cloud Native Computing Foundation) use Kubernetes to manage containers. As Kubernetes becomes the new standard for container orchestration, a new set of challenges result and enterprises are often spending significant time focused on managing their Kubernetes deployments rather than innovating. The most common barriers are around security vulnerabilities and lack of trust, scarcity of skills and expertise, and navigating storage needs.
Why Kubernetes?
We can all agree that our industry is prone to hype and sometimes we feel the pressure of adopting a new technology simply because our peers and competitors do. Before diving into challenges of adopting Kubernetes (K8s), let’s remind ourselves of why someone should (or shouldn’t) bother.
