Kubernetes and the Journey to Container Solutions

Pini Resnick, co-founder of Container Solutions, discusses his journey into the world of containers and Kubernetes. He highlights how the emergence of Docker led to the formation of Container Solutions, a consultancy focused solely on containers. Resnick acknowledges that while the name 'Container Solutions' may sound outdated now, containers remain essential in the world of infrastructure. He also mentions how their focus shifted towards cloud-native solutions, which involves not just containers and microservices, but also organizational structure and culture. Resnick notes that companies should not jump into Kubernetes without proper evaluation of their business needs, existing architecture, and application complexity. He emphasizes the need for strategy, education, and categorization of applications to enable a successful migration to Kubernetes. Resnick concludes by explaining the importance of structuring teams effectively, with developers understanding Kubernetes for testing and deployment, while leaving the responsibility of platform support to specialized teams.
