Why You Don't Need to Hire Kubernetes Experts

History has a tendency to repeat itself. This is because bad habits and anti-patterns are hard to break. And this remains the case with the latest sought-after engineering unicorn––the “Kubernetes expert”. These days, there is a veritable gold rush to hire the best and brightest Kubernetes wizards. Like all forms of expertise––this gold is rare, and as a result––is also costly. But this isn’t a new phenomenon in the technology world.

The challenges in container monitoring and how Applications Manager eliminates them

Containers are standard, executable units of software in which application code is packed with all the dependencies, libraries, and other necessary elements required for the code to run in any environment quickly and with ease. Containers package the application code with all the necessary dependencies required and can easily be distributed and deployed anywhere, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure requirements.

Today, however, more and more applications running on Kubernetes are stateful, making backup and recovery solutions for these systems critical. Neglecting backup is risky: as applications become more complex and need to preserve their states, the challenges of recovering a setup increase.
