Red Hat’s approach to Kubernetes over the last 6 years has been to turn it from a useful container tool into a foundational platform for hybrid cloud architectures. Learn what Kubernetes is and if it's right for you.
The Red Hat® Shares newsletter helps IT leaders navigate the complicated world of IT―the open source way.
FROM THE EDITOR
Kubernetes is effective―but alone, it’s not enough
Kubernetes turned 6 on June 6. But that's not the only reason to celebrate this technology: According to the 2019 Cloud Native Computing Foundation survey (PDF), respondents’ use of Kubernetes in production swelled from 58% to 78% in 1 year. This is likely because, in the same year, the respondents using containers in production increased from 73% to 84%―and Kubernetes is now considered the standard for container orchestration.
Let’s back up for a minute. If you’re wondering what Kubernetes is, you’re not alone. Our recent, totally unscientific Twitter poll indicates that most participants (58.9%) either don't know what it is or have merely heard of it. Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications.
What’s the main advantage of using Kubernetes in your environment? It gives you the platform to schedule and run containers on clusters of physical or virtual machines. But Kubernetes alone isn't enough (more on that later).
In this issue of Red Hat Shares, get our perspective on Kubernetes, get an introduction to Kubernetes architecture, take a free course on deploying containerized apps, and more.
