Cloud native computing has come to dominate enterprise IT for every organization that requires dynamic flexible infrastructure at scale.
Kubernetes and the rest of the cloud native ecosystem Kubernetes and the rest of the cloud native ecosystem enable companies to build and deploy applications faster, more reliably and at a lower cost but can be complex and difficult to master. The promises of speed and scale may seem out of reach when development teams get caught up in the details. To build such software, developers require all the help they can get.
DevOps practices and tools are essential but are merely the starting point. To succeed with DevOps in cloud native environments, organizations hope to build out internal developer platforms (IDPs) following still-nascent platform engineering best practices.
