Kubernetes is here to stay. But its operational complexity is a major hurdle for many organizations, creating a barrier to entry that’s hard to solve: qualified engineers are expensive, and DIY solutions have a long lead time and are very complex. This means organizations are missing out on the advantages that Kubernetes provides for development

The success of the public cloud has educated the world about what is possible when infrastructure can be consumed at scale with the speed and simplicity made possible by SaaS management. The days of private clouds being managed in more traditional, labor intensive ways are numbered. The speed, savings and simplification of SaaS based management

In the early days of containers, it became immediately obvious that some kind of orchestration tool would be necessary. Given how easily containers could be created and destroyed, and how many of them would be used, management of this process was key. Many contenders came and went, but eventually one technology emerged from the fray

Operating costs and complexity continue to be top concerns about working with the private cloud. Enterprise customers want an automated, self-service infrastructure with the same level of agility, ease-of-use, and scale of the public cloud. However, most enterprises need to make significant changes to their private cloud operating models and prepare themselves for the complexity

Edge cloud trends are clear, but also give rise to new operational challenges. The breadth and scale of the edge make existing architectures totally insufficient. The cost and complexity of management make traditional virtualization and process solutions at the edge far less effective. Remote management will be required to overcome the lack of technical staff
