Nigel Poulton and NetApp Assess the State of Kubernetes

Independent Kubernetes trainer and expert Nigel Poulton joins Principal Technologist Kirk Ryan of NetApp to discuss the state of Kubernetes and the cloud in 2021. Poulton points out that, 7 years into the development of Kubernetes, most of the groundwork is stable and mature, but the higher-level management tools are iterating at a fast pace. The process of getting and installing Kubernetes is a lot easier thanks to hosted Kubernetes platforms developed by cloud service providers. The next trend is to focus more on the applications being deployed in the cloud rather than the infrastructure. The future is in integrated systems that bring the legacy of enterprise tools to this new world of cloud applications.
