Why Kubernetes?
Kubernetes provides a platform for automating many of the tasks that are critical to DevOps, such as continuous deployment, scaling, and monitoring. “Kubernetes is important for any organization to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, deliver higher quality software, and ultimately provide a better end user experience,” explains Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
Thanks to the explosive growth of digital and cloud native projects, Kubernetes has seen massive adoption in recent years..DevOps professionals with Kubernetes expertise are in high demand, making this an excellent time for you to upgrade your skills.
