How Kubernetes Is Changing The Business ????

What is Kubernetes?? ????

Kubernetes is an open-source platform for managing containers. The product is created by Google.

It put the codes in one logical unit called pods which is easy to manage. No matters how complex your application is Kubernetes will handle your application and you can easily scale either on the local or on a production level.

What are the features provided by the Kubernetes?????

Well, there is a long list of features provided by the Kubernetes... Some of the important features that Kubernetes provides are

• Automated Rollout & Rollback
• Service Discovery And Load Balancing
• Service Topology
• Storage Orchasteraion

• Secret and Configuration Management
• Automatic bin packing
• Horizontal Scaling
• Auto healing
• Batch Execution

There are lots of companies that are using Kubernetes... Some of them are

• Babylon
• Nokia
• Booking.com
• App Direct
• Adidas
• Bose

It is a long list of companies that are using Kubernetes and scale their services and decrease the release time of their product and services for their customer.

I would like to present one case study that has benefited a lots by using Kubernetes, that is Ant Finincal!!

Ant Financial

This Company was originally founded in October 2014, it is originated from AliPay, which is the world's largest online platform, founded in 2004. It offers various other services that leveraging technology innovation. Alipay handles more than 900+ million users worldwide (through its local and global partners)—256,000 transactions per second at the peak of Double 11 Singles Day 2017,

and total gross merchandise value of $31 billion for Singles Day 2018—not to mention that of its other services.

So what are the challenges that comapny faces due to which it starts using Kubernetes??????

How to provide real-time compute, storage, and processing capability, for instance, to make real-time recommendations for fraud detection; how to provide intelligence on top of this data, because there's too much data and then we're not getting enough insight; and how to apply security in the application level, in the middleware level, the system level, even the chip level." In order to provide reliable and consistent services to its customers, Ant Financial embraced containers in early 2014, and soon needed an orchestration solution for the tens-of-thousands-of-node clusters in its data centers.

How the Comapny find its solution????

In late 2016, the company decided that Kubernetes will be the de facto standard," says Hang. "Looking back, we made the right bet on the right technology. But then we needed to move the production workload from the legacy infrastructure to the latest Kubernetes-enabled platform, and that took some time because we are very careful in terms of reliability and consistency." All core financial systems were containerized by November 2017, and the migration to Kubernetes is ongoing.

So what are impact comapny faces after switching to the kubernetes?

The company found 10th fold increase in terms of operation with cloud-native technology. Now, the company offers a fully integrated financial cloud platform to business partners around the world, now the company has focused more on optimizing the Kubernetes platform..

This is how Kubernetes helps Ant Financial.
