Suppose you’re analyzing your application’s performance. There are multiple profiling activities which you may execute.
Windows Support went GA for Kubernetes in version 1.14 and represented years of work. This has been the effort of excellent engineers from companies including Microsoft, Pivotal, VMWare, RedHat, and the now-defunct Apprenda, among others.
