IDC Opinion : Enterprise digital transformation has been accelerating as line of business needs change to meet diverse consumer expectations, a trend that has been especially emphasized during the pandemic. Modern applications that are natively built for containers and the cloud can rapidly deliver new functionality by leveraging new infrastructure and development tools.
Several options are available to enterprises embarking on an application modernization journey or building new solutions as a step toward creating an agile business. The overall trend has been a shift toward containers to ship and deploy software to the public cloud, which has become a primary destination. The combination of containers and public cloud infrastructure and application/data services allows enterprises to develop applications faster than ever.
According to IDC, enterprises are placing an increasing importance on ensuring that the new architecture is the foundation for future business needs. One key decision point is whether companies want to build and manage their own Kubernetes platform or offload that responsibility to a provider. While very powerful, Kubernetes can be very complex and labor intensive to manage. With the focus of many companies on transformation and subsequently the software applications that enable a transformation,
the task of managing Kubernetes infrastructure and application development platforms becomes a burden for many. In addition, many digital transformation teams are mainly
developer groups without the staff that have the expertise, resources, time, or desire to manage a complete application platform. The combination of the difficulty of Kubernetes and the focus on application development for transformation is leading to an increase in demand for managed cloud services in the industry.
This IDC white paper is based on interviews with three customers that have embarked on a digital transformation journey using Red Hat Open Shift cloud services with workloads deployed in multiple infrastructure environments.
