The Power of Cloud-Native and Modernized Applications in a Hybrid Environment

In the rapidly changing enterprise IT world, the implementation of cloud strategy and application modernization are key items of successful strategic technology planning. To be an industry leader that pushes business competitors to respond, embracing cloud-native paradigms and navigating the path towards application modernization are essential business drivers. This means using a blend of public and private clouds together to build the most efficient and optimized technology infrastructure.

Today's business environment calls for the creation and transformation of state-of-the-art applications, utilizing all of the features and functionality of cloud-native capabilities. This desire for innovation calls for agile development, grounded in an application-centric approach that's built for hybrid clouds. This is where container adoption becomes strategically important and a strong consideration. IT leaders will be able to drive real transformation in the business when they have a process, people and technology infrastructure that creates new features and applications. This translates to increased customer interaction and satisfaction, which drives more revenue. Driving revenue versus cost cutting to achieve business outcomes is always paramount when taking on modern technology projects.

At the center of this is an enterprise-ready container platform called Kubernetes combined with a carefully synchronized collection of components. Kubernetes by itself or left on an island will not change anything. When used with a range of other services and features ranging from container networking, security, storage, monitoring, observability, and logging, this coordinated use of Kubernetes becomes bigger than being a simple container tool. This strategy asserts Kubernetes as a foundational platform for hybrid cloud structures.

The key secret to success in this domain is speeding up and simplifying the development and operations of cloud-native applications, regardless of their construction and deployment methods. Organizations demand a comprehensive platform, one that frees them from piecemeal approaches and deliberately avoids patchwork solutions that, despite their first appeal, invariably fall short of delivering the integrated capabilities necessary for DevOps velocity. The patchwork approach costs enterprise IT leaders time and money and ultimately causes transformation to fall short of delivering the desired business outcomes.

As enterprises strive to build robust features and applications in highly competitive markets, their success hinges on swift adaptation and agile response to customer needs. In this transformation, superior IT leaders rise to the challenge, equipping their businesses for the future with innovative technology with platforms (not patch work solutions) that support ideal business outcomes.?
