CNCF Survey Surfaces Steady Pace of Increased Cloud-Native Technology Adoption
A survey of 689 IT professionals published this week by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) finds 80% of respondents work for IT organizations that have deployed Kubernetes in a production environment, with another 13% piloting or actively testing the platform.
The Evolution Of Kubernetes Workload Patterns
We need to remember that Kubernetes workloads differ because they represent applications and services deployed within a cluster, each tailored to specific needs, encompassing one or more components. Workloads themselves are driven through Kubernetes objects, software code designed to define the desired state of the application and govern how it should be deployed and scaled.
Security in Kubernetes: Your Stack is Lying to You
Cloud-native adoption is accelerating, but security practices remain anchored in the past. Many companies still rely on perimeter-based models designed for static infrastructure, not for Kubernetes’s dynamic, distributed nature.
The business of cloud networking can feel hidden and solitary. For such an important function, where are all of the resources we need to be successful? Where does the community go to share and learn?
In this Resource Radar series, we spotlight some hidden gems – potentially obscure but invaluable resources – curated specifically for secure cloud networking professionals seeking to expand their toolkit beyond the mainstream.
