Managed Ecosystems
Container Orchestration Ecosystem
While Kubernetes solves the orchestration part, additional components are needed to deploy and run containers smoothly in production.
Container lifecycle management as well as monitoring, backup, CI/CD, security, logging and registration are all activities needed in container orchestration.
K8s comes with multiple options and plugins for each layer. Each team has its preferences for ecosystem decisions.
