Enterprises are using containers to encapsulate microservices-based apps and for modern workloads such as artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) and edge. Most are modernizing legacy apps, in addition to net-new cloud-native development.
However, nearly all containers run inside virtual machines (VMs), both in on-premises datacenters and the public cloud. Download the IDC technology spotlight report to learn the key benefits of using’ virtualization in the new Kubernetes world:
- Integrated and converged manageability
- Increased security and protection
- Performance and utilization efficiency
- Reliability, availability, scalability (RAS)
- Storage and networking subsystems for workloads
