Kubernetes has defined a generational blueprint for the modern data center. By orchestrating containers, which have drastically shifted
how applications are developed and deployed, Kubernetes has created the best way to deliver rapid, efficient and portable applications
as a leading open-source solution. The benefits to using Kubernetes and containers are vast and many companies, including Veritas, are
leveraging them for numerous optimizations in how they build and deliver IT solutions.
Although the benefits that come with this shift are clear, Kubernetes is not impervious to risks or failure. Like all workloads that came
before, Kubernetes still exists on physical and virtual infrastructure that is vulnerable to risks like ransomware, network outages, natural
disasters and human error. Even the most ephemeral microservices can create and leave behind data that needs to be managed. These
services may be designed to exist briefly and brilliantly, but if they cannot access the right information and infrastructure or if they are
provisioned in a non-functional state, money is lost and so is confidence in the organization providing them.
