How to Operationalize Kubernetes with a Full-Stack Platform
Kubernetes is the industry standard for modern applications, but enterprise success requires more than orchestration.
This IDC white paper is for IT leaders and platform teams navigating the complexity of enterprise Kubernetes adoption. It explores how full-stack platforms like Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) simplify deployment and Day 2 operations, support hybrid, multicloud, and edge deployments, and enable AI workloads.
What You’ll Learn:
IDC’s Operationalizing Kubernetes with a Full-Stack Platform explores the evolving demands of enterprise Kubernetes deployments. As container adoption accelerates, organizations need platforms that go beyond orchestration, integrating storage, networking, security, observability, and lifecycle management.
The report highlights how VM–container convergence is essential for reducing operational silos and supporting mixed-mode applications. It also examines how platforms like NKP deliver consistent operations across hybrid, multicloud, and edge environments, while enabling AI workloads with high-performance compute and advanced data services.
This white paper is a must-read for IT decision-makers seeking to simplify infrastructure, accelerate innovation, and future-proof their Kubernetes strategy.
