  • Running Kubernetes on Dell EMC Hyperconverged Infrastructure
    Running Kubernetes on Dell EMC Hyperconverged Infrastructure: Accelerating the Shift to Cloud Native Kubernetes empowers developers by automating the provisioning and operations of cloud infrastructure using containers. This new strategy creates more time to focus on building applications vs. managing the infrastructure to enable them. In an era of increasingly agile development and geographically distributed teams, code and data, containers enable innovation and rapid response. Containerized apps rely on orchestration tools, like Kubernetes, to manage multiple containers in production, yet Kubernetes is one component of an all-encompassing change in infrastructre. So, cloud native development comes with challenges beyond a decision to use Kubernetes. Site Reliability Engineers owns responsibility for the containers, workload portability, development tools, and the overall infrastructure. Building and managing that infrastructure involves new costs, learning curves, security concerns, and policy management. These factors are delaying deployment of Kubernetes—and stalling adoption of cloud native development. These delays impact time-to-market and competitiveness for the enterprise. The entire business must pause to calculate the costs, time, risks and talent of a cloud native environment. In response to these challenges, Dell EMC offers a portfolio of integrated solutions with Kubernetes to accelerate cloud native adoption.
