Platform Engineering Is Hot
Surveys show that Kubernetes complexity, security, and a skills gap are the top challenges organizations face in adopting Kubernetes. The KubeCon Europe 2023 keynote address identified three “complexities” that need to be mitigated:
- Managing configuration complexity at a global platform scale
- Painful Kubernetes upgrades
- Multi-cluster management
As I related in a recent article, there are a number of technologies and techniques that have emerged to simplify Kubernetes management. The movement to remove the burden of dealing with the complexities of Kubernetes from the shoulders of DevOps teams has caused platform engineering to become such a hot trend.
The momentum behind platform engineering has continued to accelerate since it emerged as a hot topic at KubeCon North America in November 2022. Jason Bloomberg, an Intellyx analyst who has followed the trend, noted in an interview with The Cube that platform engineering was among the key themes at KubeCon Europe 2023.
