Kubernetes: Avoid Pitfalls and Learn from Dutch Best Practices

Kubernetes is an open-source system for easier management of large groups of containers and containerized applications. These containers can run one or a few processes, such as logging into an application or hosting a framework, and can be compactly housed in a container, so that only the necessary resources are used. With Kubernetes, the components for hosting containerized applications can be orchestrated, such as networking, storage and all kinds of workloads.

Benefits of Kubernetes

As an application developer, you can no longer ignore Kubernetes these days. The open-source platform for container orchestration is gaining popularity. With Kubernetes, your organization can optimize IT costs, accelerate time-to-market, simplify administration, and ensure a smooth migration to the cloud.

Avoid Pitfalls and Learn from Dutch Best Practices

Although the benefits are obvious and organizations can no longer ignore Kubernetes, the platform is also unclear and complex. There is a good chance that you will fall into a trap when embracing Kubernetes. What often happens is that organizations think that costs immediately go down as soon as they use the platform. Initially, however, the costs will increase due to new knowledge and expertise that developers and engineers have to build up. Fortunately, there are a lot of tools to get costs under control. For example, by looking at where profit can be made and how apps deal with pressure quiet and peaceful moments.
Other common pitfalls are:
– Thinking that you can transfer your application to your Kubernetes platform in one month
– Don’t think you have to configure everything
– Don’t think about updates
– Underestimating the steep learning curve
All these pitfalls can be avoided by using different tools and following best practices. Dutch organizations have already embraced Kubernetes and have developed best practices. To benefit from these advantages, pitfalls must be avoided. Best practices provide the opportunity to jump-start the container orchestration platform.
