Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, but running it at enterprise scale is a different beast entirely. The gap between a development cluster and a production-grade platform is significant.
Multi-Cluster Management
Most enterprises end up with multiple Kubernetes clusters across different environments, regions, and cloud providers. Managing this sprawl requires tooling and processes that go beyond what Kubernetes provides out of the box.
Security and Compliance
Enterprise Kubernetes deployments must meet the same security and compliance standards as any other production infrastructure. This means network policies, pod security standards, image scanning, and audit logging.
