Docker Embraces Kubernetes: The Future of Cloud Container Orchestration
Blog post from New Relic
Docker's announcement at Dockercon17 in Austin, Texas, to support Kubernetes marks a significant development in the realm of container orchestration, emphasizing Kubernetes' growing dominance in the industry. Originally developed by Google and now an open-source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Kubernetes provides a robust platform for deploying container applications across various environments, facilitating essential operations like service discovery and load balancing. The adoption of container technology is experiencing rapid growth, with enterprises leveraging containers for their portability and cost efficiency, as highlighted by market projections predicting substantial growth. Kubernetes has quickly become the central orchestration engine for major cloud providers, and New Relic is enhancing its capabilities to provide deeper insights into Kubernetes environments, ensuring comprehensive monitoring across application and infrastructure levels. This collaboration underscores Kubernetes' status as the de facto standard for container orchestration, pivotal in advancing cloud adoption and supporting modern DevOps practices.
