Selling the Container Transition to your Management

Convincing management to transition to container-based infrastructure can be challenging, particularly when an organization's existing systems are functioning adequately. While testing and trial projects can address data-driven concerns about containers, the more difficult task is persuading management of the strategic necessity of adopting this platform shift. Instead of directly confronting this challenge, the article suggests leveraging testimonials from peers in other organizations who have successfully implemented containers and microservices. This peer-to-peer communication can be more effective in illustrating both the advantages and challenges of the transition. A video created by CIO journalist Mark Chillingworth, featuring insights from other CIOs on the benefits of containers, is recommended as a tool to help facilitate this conversation by providing high-level insights into their application in large digital transformation projects.
