Has Kubernetes Crossed the Chasm in Enterprise IT? A Field Day Roundtable

In this Field Day Roundtable discussion, the Cloud Field Day delegates discuss Kubernetes in the enterprise. Has it “crossed the chasm” and become a mainstream component of enterprise infrastructure? Is it the new standard to describe cloud services in enterprise IT? Has it replaced Docker or even VMware vSphere?

What Is Kubernetes Really? A Field Day Roundtable

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management. But what does the name really mean? It’s not so simple, as the Cloud Field Day delegates debate in this Roundtable discussion. It’s also a framework for understanding modern cloud infrastructure and a shortcut to refer to an entire ecosystem of technology. What does Kubernetes mean to you?

What Is the Next Big Thing After Kubernetes? A Field Day Roundtable


Watch on YouTube

Kubernetes is rapidly rising in enterprise IT, replacing Docker and VMware vSphere in the mind of cloud architects. But is K8s the final answer to IT infrastructure? Not at all! In this Cloud Field Day delegate Roundtable discussion, the group considers what comes after Kubernetes, both technically and metaphorically.

In this Tech Field Day roundtable, experts discussed the future of Kubernetes and what might come next in IT infrastructure. They agreed that while Kubernetes has become a central framework for cloud architecture, it is not the final answer. The conversation highlighted the need for Kubernetes to evolve by abstracting complexities and becoming more developer-friendly, potentially through serverless solutions and better integration with AI and ML workloads. The panelists emphasized the importance of maintaining Kubernetes’ simplicity while extending its capabilities to manage heterogeneous and disaggregated compute environments. They also discussed the necessity of improving Kubernetes’ understanding of storage and networking to optimize resource allocation. The consensus was that Kubernetes should continue to serve as a foundational layer, enabling more sophisticated and automated orchestration of diverse workloads, ultimately freeing developers and operators to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

Almost every Cloud Field Day delegate is now classified as a cloud architect. But what is a cloud architect really and how does the new job differ from that of the traditional IT architect? That’s the topic of this Roundtable discussion with the Cloud Field Day delegates.
