{% tab title="The Why and What of Kubernetes" %}
Cloud native technology can help you develop, deploy, and manage applications with ease and speed. Lightweight, portable containers let you do more with less -- you can develop, test, and distribute applications with fewer dependencies, less resources, and more flexibility. Kubernetes is a platform that lets you automate the deployment and management of containers. Together, containers and Kubernetes streamline software development and deployment.  

Here are several starting points to learn about cloud native technology:

{% tab title="Build Kubernetes Runtime" %}
In this section, we look at some of the challenges in operationalizing Kubernetes. For application teams to utilize the full potential of Kubernetes , Kubernetes clusters need to be aware of available infrastructure resources. Teams need access to the right roles for their work, and they need to understand how identity flows through enterprise users and groups to Kubernetes management systems and the Kubernetes clusters themselves.
