Summary

Google's Autopilot is a fully-managed Kubernetes offering that includes auto-scaling, auto-upgrades, maintenance, and automated Day 2 operations, aiming to tackle the complexities of running Kubernetes environments by eliminating the need for developers and engineers to monitor node health and calculate compute capacity. This technology represents the next phase of digitization, moving from manual and automated processes to truly autonomous operations that will become critical for meeting ever-changing customer needs as businesses adapt to digital transformation. Google Autopilot complements Couchbase's Autonomous Operator by simplifying Day 2 operations of database management, such as self-healing, security, backup, and data replication, freeing up IT departments from time-consuming administrative tasks and helping them accelerate innovation. The technology is designed to remove the administrative burden, making it a standard for others to emulate in the face of accelerating digital transformation and changing customer demands.
