The container ecosystem is immature and lacks operational best practices, but adoption of containers and Kubernetes is increasing for legacy modernization and cloud-native applications. We outline best practices for I&O leaders to enable and expedite container deployment in production environments.

In this report, you will learn:

• Key challenges for deployment and operations of containers and Kubernetes
• Recommendations for infrastructure and operations leaders responsible for the data center
• Best practices across security, governance monitoring, storage, networking, container life cycle management and container orchestration
