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.

Given the popularity of Prometheus and the open source community behind it, it’s no surprise that customers often ask about support for the Prometheus Query Language, PromQL. Many users are already comfortable with PromQL but need the additional performance and scalability of the VMware Tanzu Observability platform.

As cloud native concepts and adoption take hold, many enterprises are now considering and implementing ways to achieve the primary objective of cloud native technology: enabling engineers to make significant changes to systems easily, frequently, and confidently. More and more enterprises are recognizing that cloud native technologies, such as Kubernetes, can indeed serve as the foundational infrastructure for building their own in-house platforms, greatly empowering their operations teams.
