Kubernetes in DevOps for Maximum Success

DevOps and Kubernetes are important for software development strategy. Atlassian in 2020 reported that 99% of organizations have asserted that implementing DevOps positively impacted their business operations. According to Datadog's Container Report 2022, nearly 50% of the organizations utilized Kubernetes containers for deploying and managing the software application. Integrating Kubernetes into DevOps can help your business quickly and more reliably deploy software. Through this article, we will explore how DevOps with Kubernetes can enhance your business' operational efficiency and drive business growth.

What is Kubernetes??

Kubernetes, also known as K8s is an open-source orchestration platform that can help you to manage container deployments. It organizes containers into small units which will help you in management and discovery. It automates the continuous integration and continuous deployment. It was primarily designed to address the challenges faced by developers in an agile environment and automate the development process to facilitate seamless workflow. Let’s delve into how K8s is beneficial for your business.?

Benefits of Kubernetes DevOps for Businesses

Enhance Infrastructure Utilization or On-Demand Infrastructure

The frequent obstacle of lack of infrastructure utilization can lead to higher development costs and adversely impact your business. Kubernetes is the solution to this problem. In our experience, it can reduce your cloud costs by 45%. Its self-service catalog enables developers to create on-demand infrastructure, including cloud services such as AWS and Azure resources. The on-demand infrastructure provided by it to the containerized apps will help your business increase resource usage by around 70%.

Zero-downtime Deployments

With K8s, your application can be deployed without experiencing any downtime. Its features like rolling updates and automated rollback enable the deployment of new application releases with zero downtime. A CI/CD pipeline that deploys on K8s enables the controlled release of your software. DevOps Engineers can establish staged releases, such as blue-green and canary deployments. It ensures continuous operations during your application updates. You can seamlessly update your applications while minimizing revenue loss.?

Faster Deployment

In our experience, utilizing Kubernetes can make your application deployment faster by 40 times and increase overall productivity by around 60%. The process of this fast deployment will enhance the agility of your application and allow you to quickly respond to the changing market demands. It will not only shorten your software development process but also fasten the addition of new features.

Software Portability

Leveraging K8s can make your applications portable to on-premise and hybrid cloud without any significant refactoring. It will also prevent your existing infrastructure from being allocated to a single cloud provider. Your containers will exhibit the same behavior regardless of where you deploy them. K8s provides you the flexibility to choose the best environments for your container to manage your budget and enhance the performance of your application.
