The rise of microservices architecture has changed the software industry. It solved a lot of problems with the old model of traditional monolithic applications. It helped speed up software delivery and increased the efficiency of technology companies. However, this architecture has also introduced new challenges. These become more visible when deploying applications at scale. For example, it's hard to operate each service and ensure its availability. It's also hard to manage the network between thousands of small services. It's no small feat to upgrade so many services either. It has become increasingly necessary to have a platform that can tackle these problems and provide an easy way to manage microservices. Here's where Kubernetes comes into play by allowing you to have a large number of containers running while still making it easy to control them. You can manage deployment, configuration, networking, storage, and any other application requirement. While Kubernetes helps to overcome the scalability challenges of microservices, these tools work hand-in-hand and they’re not a replacement for each other. If this case this sparks your interest, join this session and let’s learn together.
