Summary

Platform engineering is gaining momentum as organizations increasingly establish internal platform teams to provide reusable services and tools for efficient application delivery, addressing the challenges of scaling modern IT infrastructures. A significant development in this field is the Dynatrace Kubernetes experience, which simplifies container standardization, self-service, and automation, enhancing the work of DevSecOps teams by reducing cognitive load and allowing them to focus on high-quality application development. Kubernetes is pivotal in this context, being widely adopted for managing containerized environments, and the Dynatrace solution offers automated workflows to tackle the complexity of these environments, including features like auto-scaling and anomaly remediation. The integration of Dynatrace with GitOps practices enables efficient infrastructure management, and its centralized Kubernetes management console enhances observability and security. Dynatrace’s platform engineering tools improve collaboration between DevSecOps and platform engineering teams, fostering productivity and accelerating software delivery. The incorporation of a consumption-based pricing model based on pods rather than hosts aligns Kubernetes monitoring with business needs, making it more scalable and cost-effective.
