With 96% of organizations either using or evaluating Kubernetes and over 7 million developers using Kubernetes around the world, according to a recent CNCF report, it’s safe to say that Kubernetes is eating up the world and has become the de-facto orchestrating system of cloud-native applications. The benefits of adopting K8s are obvious in terms of efficiency, agility, and scalability.
Cyberthreats and cyberattacks continue to grow more advanced and complex, making them much harder to stop.
