Scale, Security, Visibility for Container Apps

Does your journey to the cloud include containers? If so, you’re not alone. According to Cisco’s Global Cloud Index, 85% of new app workload instances are container-based; that number will reach 95% by 2021. As adoption rises, many organizations find they also need to adopt Kubernetes to automate and orchestrate their container environments. Unfortunately, many teams hit bottlenecks in securing and scaling Kubernetes in production. How do you overcome these security and scalability challenges without limiting developer flexibility? In this session, we’ll discuss solutions using open source projects that enable developers and systems teams to manage Ingress routing, load balancing, and application services in container and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) deployments. We’ll discuss how all of this can be automated by deploying API-driven technologies as part of your CI/CD pipeline.
