Cloud vendors have made it simple to spin Kubernetes clusters up and down for any purpose and at any scale. As a result, development teams have become addicted to the ability to create this type of “instant infrastructure” through just a few CLI commands or API calls.

This paper provides insights into the state of Kubernetes and offers EMA’s perspective on IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management, which provides a single control point to deploy, monitor, manage, and operate enterprise applications.
