Modern applications, architected to take advantage of the flexibility and efficiencies of the cloud, are projected by IDC to surpass traditional apps by 2024.

To avoid application downtime and data loss during Kubernetes clusters outage, platform and application operators need to utilize backups for recovery. These backups should contain both the application’s persistent data alongside its configurations, which can be restored to the same or different cluster to get back into production more quickly.

Congratulations! You just put your 100th application into the cloud, marking the end of a highly successful project. As the senior leader tasked with driving transformation in your company, you are celebrating with the team. Your project manager buys the first round of drinks—they can afford it because their bonus was directly tied to hitting the target of 100 apps in the cloud and they are happy to spread the cheer.

With the emergence of new programming languages, libraries, packaging systems, and dependencies, the open source landscape has become more diverse. At the same time, companies are finding it more and more complex to package and deliver open source software. This creates a massive challenge for independent software vendors (ISVs), large enterprises, and other organizations that need to control their software supply chain lifecycles while adhering to industry standards and best practices.
