An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
About a decade into widespread adoption of Kubernetes as the container orchestration standard, most IT department challenges have shifted from the initial deployment phase into the multi-cluster operational space.
Kubernetes has grown from an interesting new technology to becoming an organizational asset that needs to be cost effectively managed and optimized across all clusters.
The current generation of operational Kubernetes tools are designed to tackle this type of “next level” challenge, for example the Devtron AI ops platform.
IT organizations tend to separate the teams that develop applications, containerize them, and deploy them into Kubernetes clusters, and the teams that provision and manage the Kubernetes clusters developers use. Such operational teams are usually called SRE (site reliability engineering) teams.
When applications go into production, SRE teams typically need access to the development teams to troubleshoot issues in a collaborative way.
This is where the Devtron platform comes in, enabling both development and SRE teams to handle daily production use cases such as deploying new software, debugging production incidents, and monitoring production software. Devtron uses AI to analyze and automate SRE functions.
The Devtron platform also controls and secures cluster access, monitors resource allocation costs, and configures stateful applications for disaster recovery. Devtron also backs up and restores configuration files.
