Kubernetes-as-a-Service Supports Less Complex Container Management

Healthcare organizations going through digital transformations are leveraging containers to enhance their HIT infrastructure as a way to manage applications. The potential introduction of Kubernetes-as-a-Service can help ease container management. Organizations use containers for application development, operating system environments, and to replace virtual machines. Virtual containers act much like they do in the physical world, by separating data from other data based on predetermined characteristics. When migrating from one cloud storage model to another, it’s much easier to move data if it is contained in one place or separated from data that does not need to be moved. When data is contained, developing applications to access that data becomes easier because it’s already isolated from unrelated data. Containers can be duplicated, moved, and act independently of each other. As container technology evolves, vendors are utilizing them to help promote advanced IT infrastructure, streamline processes, and take advantage of progressing cloud technology.
