It is safe to say that it’s a future-proof move for your career to understand more about cloud technologies.

There are many reasons to love Kubernetes. It’s open source. It’s incredibly scalable and flexible. And it turns out to be a great way to deploy hybrid cloud and multi-cloud workloads.

Stack Overflow’s 2021 Developer Survey found that 54% of developers use AWS, yet only 7% use Terraform.

In simpler times, IT operations had the responsibility to configure and deploy new infrastructure, mostly via command line interface (CLI) and scripts. Today, even those with the most advanced command line prowess cannot keep up with the scalability and agility demands of companies building and deploying infrastructure in the cloud.

Speed is the name of the game for developers. That’s why security isn’t always a top priority for them—it’s seen as a slowdown or blocker for developers whose performance depends on their velocity.
