Even companies who adopt Kubernetes for other reasons, like time-to-market advantages, should follow basic cost control best practices to stay within the budget. Optimizing cloud costs related to running Kubernetes doesn’t have to involve trade-offs for performance or availability.

Cloud migration is the process of moving your infrastructure, applications, and data to the cloud. While the potential benefits—like cost savings, scalability, and modernization—are significant, the risks are just as high if you don’t have a solid plan in place. Without clear strategies, you could face unexpected costs, technical challenges, and security issues.

According to Gartner, 90% of global organizations will run containerized applications in production by 2027.
