Kubernetes and the Service Mesh Era

Kubernetes is a game-changer for enterprise organizations. Automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications allows organizations to embrace a cloud-native paradigm at scale and more easily employ best practices, such as microservices and DevSecOps.

And those costs add up quickly. Gartner figures the meter for an average downtime event runs at $5,600 per minute.
