In this blog post series, we have discussed how Kubernetes enhances a container-based microservices architecture. We examine the rise of containers and Kubernetes to understand the organizational and technical advantages of each, including a deep dive into the ways Kubernetes can improve processes for deploying, scaling and managing containerized applications. The first in the series covered Next-Generation Application Development. The second covered the Next Frontier: Container Orchestration.

Kubernetes is hard. Last year, we started the developer experience product at American Airlines. As we transitioned into the later half of 2020 and into 2021, we wanted to tackle Kubernetes app deployments. We aimed to make it easy for the users to do the right things, no matter how difficult those tasks were. Through our Kubernetes journey, we created reproducible patterns for application teams to use to make things even easier.

Here at CodeZero we know that our developer platform for Kubernetes can lead to a 10x increase in productivity, and so we promote that fact proudly. "But wait!" you say. It's one thing to make that claim, but another to demonstrate exactly how this boost in productivity is achieved.

For Cloudera ensuring data security is critical because we have large customers in highly regulated industries like financial services and healthcare, where security is paramount. Also, for other industries like retail, telecom or public sector that deal with large amounts of customer data and operate multi-tenant environments, sometimes with end users who are outside of their company, securing all the data may be a very time intensive process.
