Managing containerized applications efficiently in the dynamic realm of Kubernetes is essential for smooth deployments and optimal performance. Kubernetes empowers us with powerful orchestration capabilities, enabling seamless scaling and deployment of applications. However, in real-world scenarios, there are situations that necessitate the restarting of Pods, whether to apply configuration changes, recover from failures, or address misbehaving applications.

DZone has released the results of its latest annual container management survey, entitled “Containers: Modernization and Advancements in Cloud-Native Development.” The survey findings reflect the experiences of developers and engineers in their deployment of containerized applications.

Building, testing and deploying software is a time-consuming process that many organizations aim to minimize by automating repeatable work wherever possible. To do so, many organizations are utilizing a continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD) philosophy in combination with cloud native tools like Kubernetes to develop and deploy software at scale.
