Meet Jon Hildebrand, Senior Product Architect at 11:11 Systems, who sits with Stephen Foskett to discuss the prevalent misconceptions surrounding Kubernetes and its role in solving all IT problems. He emphasizes that Kubernetes is essentially an orchestrator, providing a pluggable infrastructure for managing containerized environments. Hildebrand cautions against the assumption that virtualization equals containerization, highlighting the need for proper application refactoring to achieve true cloud-native capabilities. Despite acknowledging Kubernetes’ widespread adoption and momentum, he underscores the importance of learning the technology correctly and dispels the notion that containerization alone makes an application cloud-native.
