Containers at the edge: Why the hold-up?



    When Kubernetes was created, it was a simple container orchestration tool. Over the years, however, it has grown into a complete platform for deploying, monitoring, and managing apps and services across cloud environments. Organizations seek to effectively manage containers, microservices, and distributed platforms in one fell swoop, which can run across both hybrid and multi-cloud structures. 451 Research, for example, found that more than 90% of companies will standardize Kubernetes within three to five years, across various organizational types.

    The same cannot be said for the edge. In a 2020 poll, just 10% of respondents said they had deployed containers directly at the edge. The reluctance is linked to compatibility issues and select use-cases, as organizations confront the complexity of implementing containers to service their requirements.
